Lindsay Lohan had her brother, not her lawyer, contact Los Angeles prosecutors to discuss a potential THIRD rehab venue, RadarOnline.com has learned. 
 
 On the eve of her sixth stint in treatment, RadarOnline.com can reveal Michael Junior made the last-ditch approach to the City Attorneys for L.A. to have them sign off on The Lukens Institute for the court-ordered 90-day treatment. 
 
 “Lindsay is desperately trying to get out of going to rehab in Southern California,” a source close to the Mean Girls star said. 
 
 “Lindsay wants to be in the Florida center, but she isn’t sure if she’s going to be able to make that happen. She’s in a panic about her situation.”

 As of late Wednesday, there were three options on the table for Lindsay: California-based Morningside Recovery, Seafield Center in New York’s Westhampton Beach and Lukens, a luxury center based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 
 
 The unorthodox approach to prosecutors directly from a member of the Lohan family begs the question as to why the actress’ lawyer, Mark Heller, did not initiate the contact. 
 
 Heller is expected in a Los Angeles court on Thursday to notify the judge of Lohan’s venue choice. 
 
 As RadarOnline.com previously reported, LiLo’s dad, Michael, has been lobbying for Lukens, which bills itself as providing “sophisticated treatment for sophisticated clients in a setting that meets the highest standards of luxury.”

 In an interview on Wednesday, Michael revealed his daughter had lost interest in Seafield because they won’t let her smoke. 
 
 “It is come to my attention that Lindsay does not want to go to Seafield in New York because it’s not private enough, they don’t allow smoking and the accommodations are not suitable to her needs,” he said. 
 
 “She told me people want her to go to Morningside in Newport Beach, California. But that’s very place that leaked she was going there about a year ago and did the same this time.” 
 
 According to Michael, Morningside isn’t going to help his daughter.

 He said the venue, located in a wealthy enclave by the sea, had promised to allow his daughter to smoke cigarettes “even though they have a no smoking policy.” 
 
 “This is the last straw and I’m going to do everything I possibly can to put them everyone out of the business of using people,” the Lohan patriarch said.

 Lindsay Lohan is adamant that she didn’t hit anyone when she was trying to make a hasty retreat from a Hollywood nightclub shortly after midnight Wednesday, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. 
 
 As we previously reported LiLo, 25, was leaving Sayers Club in Hollywood Wednesday at 12:20 am PT in her new black Porsche when she was blocked by a horde of paparazzi and club patrons from the nearby Hookah Lounge, officials said. 
 
 As Lindsay was trying to make a U-turn among the crowd at the late night hotspot, she nearly hit the car of the Hookah Lounge’s manager, police said. When he got out of his car to warn her of the near-hit, she reportedly grazed his knee and sped off. One of the manager’s employees called police to report a “traffic collision,” according to the LAPD Hollywood Division.

 Police responded to the scene to investigate if a hit-and-run had taken place or if anyone was injured; authorities told RadarOnline.com that when officers arrived, they interviewed people on the scene, including the manager of the Hookah Lounge. 
 
 “There was no evidence of a crime or a hit and run,” a police spokesperson told us. “There was no evidence of a crime.”

 However, the manager subsequently went to the hospital and is planning on pressing charges against the actress, after he found out who the driver of the car was the infamous wayward actress. 
 
 “Lindsay is adamant that she absolutely didn’t hit anyone while she was driving. Lindsay is extremely upset that there would be speculation she would ditch the scene of a potential crime scene. She is days away from being taken off formal probation. Lindsay has talked to her attorney Shawn Holley, who has subsequently reached out to cops from the LAPD Hollywood division. Would it make sense for Lindsay to flee the scene with tons of paparazzi? No, she wouldn’t have done that if there was a remote possibility she had hit someone,” the source says. 
 
 Moments after the alleged hit-and-run, Lindsay was stopped by cops, but she wasn’t driving and was in the passenger seat and “was told that she hadn’t hit anyone with her car. Lindsay was absolutley 100% sober, and cops had no reason to arrest her. Lindsay’s probation officer will be notified Wednesday morning that a person is claiming to have been hit by her, but that initially after the incident, the manager of the Hookah Lounge was telling everyone he was fine and wasn’t complaining of any injuries,” the insider says. 
 
 Lindsay is set to appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on Thursday, March 29 for a final progress report. If a police report is filed by the manager of the Hookah Lounge, that could place Lohan in jeopardy of having her probation violated, and go to jail. 
 
 Calls seeking comment from Lohan’s publicist weren’t immediately returned.

Resourcefully, Lindsay chronicled the whole drama live as it was happening: 
 
 “my lawyer isn’t answering I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER! MY SISTER AND FRIEND TOO!!!!! HE’S NUTS!!!” my BUILDING didn’t STOP him, isn’t it supposed to be safe? THAT’S WHY I MOVED HERE! it coulda been FAKE cops! dressed up… let’s not forget, that my father KIDNAPPED me from a COURT ROOM when i was 4 years old and is CRAZY.” 
 
 Oof. 
 
 And since no one in the Lohan family is known for their discretion, both Dina and Michael Lohan found the time to explain to the tabs what was going on. Dina proclaimed to US Weekly that her ex was “dangerous,” while Michael blabbed on video to TMZ.com and to Hollyscoop.com: 
 
 “I went to the police department concerned about Ali’s welfare. I wanted to check on Ali. I want to make sure she’s ok. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there! She’s a minor. I just want to make sure she’s ok.” 
 
 
 
 Michael Lohan also told Hollyscoop that Lindsay took her sister, Ali, to Coachella this weekend and drove home “at 115 miles per hour.” He claimed he is trying to get a conservatorship over Lindsay, like the one Britney Spears’ father Jamie had. 
 
 A spokesperson for the L.A. County Sheriff’s office confirmed to US, “We were there. We found no evidence of abuse.” 
 
 You know what? Lindsay probably does need help. But maybe it’s time Michael gets a clue that his daughter is not willing to listen to him, given his own history with drug abuse and prison time. Not that Dina Lohan looks like she’ll ever step up to the parenting plate, either, but Michael — and his tabloid writer fiancée, Jon Gosselin cast-off Kate Major! — just gives me the heebie-jeebies. Couching his behavior in “I’m just checking on Ali!” excuses is a sleazy move.

– Michael Lohan can always be counted on to bring the class. While defending himself against allegations he doesn’t do enough to help his troubled daughter in an interview with Shepard Smith on Fox News, Lohan dropped the F-bomb: “Don't tell me how much time I spend helping my daughter or going out to eat dinner, or how much time I spend in the f***ing gym.” He went on to melodramatically suggest that Lindsay’s ordeal “could end in death.” If not in death, it could at least end unattractively: TMZ reports poor LiLo will not be allowed to wear hair extensions or makeup while in jail. Perhaps more tragically for the two-packs-a-day smoker, she won’t be allowed cigarettes either. Need some entertainment after all that sad news?
