When flipping through today's Page Six, we couldn't help but notice this Michael "Ex-Con" Lohan sighting.

MICHAEL (father of Lindsay) Lohan at the Hamptons magazine bash for cover girl Mary J. Blige at Pink Elephant in Southampton posing for pictures in a Medieval Times baseball cap

And while we love reading about estranged (and sometimes felonious!) father figures as much as the next blog, we weren't entirely sure how this particular "celebrity" deadbeat dad warranted documentation in a nationally syndicated gossip column.

Then again, pickings are mighty slim nowadays, what with daughter Lindsay currently incapacitated (read: rotting in rehab) mother Dina off pitching reality shows to the E! channel (when she's not skipping court appearances to visit her 'poor, ailing child-star cash-cow') and a certain hotel heiress finding God from within the confines of her prison cell.

All of which, apparently, makes Michael Lohan's Southhampton romp newsworthy by default.

Perhaps even more surprising? The fact that Mr. Lohan was allowed inside the Pink Elephant.

You know, because he was wearing that lame-ass Medieval Times baseball cap.

And because the bouncers of exclusive nightclubs (and, well, the Pink Elephant) generally frown upon the "overweight, opportunistic middle-aged deadbeat" clientèle.
