And Dina, plans on being in Los Angeles a lot more, as Lindsay begins shooting a film soon. "She does start a film December 11, Know Who Killed Me [shooting in San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles; a TriStar film directed by Chris Sivertson]; it's kind of a psychological thriller, a heavy-duty film, she's the lead," Dina tells Star. "So I'll be back as much as I physically can with taking my little ones out of school, which I'm not a big fan of. Ali and Dakota are here. But she [Lindsay] needs her family out here, and her little brother and sister, and myself. As a single parent, it's hard to juggle but I'll be back and forth as much as I can."

The filming of her upcoming movie will be good for Lindsay, Dina tells Star: "You know, Lindsay loves to work, so when she's on a movie set, you know, when she's not working, and you're twenty, what do you do? It's like when you're not in college, you come home, you meet your friends, you go out. So on-set, I think it's a lot more structure and it'll be better for her. She loves to work. She just loves this business and she's so talented. She got GQ Woman of the Year award last night."

As for Lindsay's current overall mental and physical state, Dina says, "She's OK. She's good. She's great. She actually baby-sat Ali and Cody and took them to the hair salon. Ali was washing everyone's hair."

Concerned mom Dina also says, "I wish she would move back to New York - You can print that! I want her out of here. The weather's beautiful. But these kids, it's just a dangerous place. It just seems here, in this business, it's intensified here."
