IN TROUBLE: Lindsay Lohan, GOOD COMPANY: Kim kardashlan

Can kim save Lindsay?       Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is delighted that the actress has befriended socialite Kim Kardashian as he feels the brunette can save Lindsay from her partying lifestyle and help her get back onthe right path.          He said, "Since the time I first met Kim two years ago, I've thought she was a good influence on Lindsay. Even back then, I told her that I wanted her to befriend Lindsay so that she could help steer er in the right direction. I mean, look at Kim and what she's accomplished."          Unfortunately, Michael - who has time and again chalmed that his troubled daughter is addicted to prescription drugs - has little contact with Lindsay, who recently turned 24. However, he hopes he is able to treat her to a birthday dinner when he meets her for her probation hearing in Los Angeles next week. He said, "I hope this year only brings the best people and things into her life."
