Lindsay's Rehab Confidante: 'She's Getting Better Every Day'

“Extra” spoke exclusively to Tony Allen, the man rumored to have befriended Lindsay Lohan in rehab.

Allen recently checked out of the Utah rehab center where Lohan is currently a patient and said, "We’re great friends.”

He's shooting down rumors that Lindsay, who police said had a small amount of cocaine on her when she was arrested for DUI, failed a drug test while she was in treatment.

Allen said, “Positively, absolutely none of that is true!” He insisted that Lindsay has been a model patient.

“We share a common affliction, and we just talk about life sometimes," Allen revealed. "She’s getting better every day.”

As Lindsay continues to recover, Allen said she's determined to revive the promising career derailed by her battle with drugs and alcohol.

“She’s very healthy, very positive," he said. "She wants to present that to her public, to the people who care about her.”

Allen, who is one-half of the rock duo Dead Stays Alive, said that he and Lohan hit it off immediately.

“She’s a musician, so obviously that’s some common ground we had," he said.

He added, “We’re her favorite new band.” Allen’s band mate, Scott Mikell, would even invite Lindsay to join the band once she's out of rehab! He said, “Lindsay can come play guitar anytime she wants to.”

Lindsay is rumored to be leaving rehab next week.

Last time I saw Tony he was all JUICED up on steroids and wearing cowboy boots and drove a 4x4. He hated rock and roll! Talk about a mid-life crisis. Get a job you fake!

If Lindsay and Tony made a connection, That’s fine. That is to be expected, when you spend a lot of time together. Tony needs to be honest. He needs to come clean about his wife, and children. He leads a double life. That is sad! Lindsay, do you want to associate yourself with someone dishonest? That will only bring you down! Keep your head and guard up!

Good Luck Linds! Keep it straight! We miss ya on the big screen! You have the potential to be one of the great Hollywood actresses. You just have to separate yourself from negative influences. Oh, rumor has it your bud from rehab, is 40, married and has twin eight month olds! Be careful girl! Do your research. You may want to separate yourself from contact from Mr. Allen.

“Who is Tony Allen”. We all want to know. How about a trip to Savannah. Maybe interview some of his friend’s, if there are any left. Maybe you could start with his wife. I’m sure you would have a good story. The head lines could read.
“Tony Allen, 40 year old, dead beat dad & cheating husband ” Sounds like a story to me.

Tony is a Jerk, but smart. He is using Lindsay for publicity. He is using every opportunity, to be seen in a picture with her. Every interview, magazine and internet, mentions his band. Know that is smart! That is the only way, that 80’s knock off band will do anything. How about let Tony do a solo, to show off his musical talents. Ha Ha! Hey maybe he can go in rehab with Spears next. They could do Chaotic part two! He can change his look and tell her is is a single, 30 year old. Or he can be honest and tell them he is 40 and married with Children!

Tony, the first thing you need to do, is be honest. You see Lindsay, as a publicity opp. You hope, being seen with her, will get your cheesy band some publicity. I don’t think that will help. First you should start with your look. Lose the eye liner. Re-do those brows. Maybe stick a roll of quarters in those tight jeans. The hair, we liked it better short. Does the do-rag hide your bald spot? The crows feet is starting to show your age, which is 40! What about those shoes, come on now! And in-order to be a musician you have to actually sing and play the guitar. For as long as I have known you, you have never sang or played an instrument. When you wake up from your acid tripping fantasy life, call your wife and be a dad!

Lindsay

Ask around in Savannah, about Tony!
He is using you for your publicity. If you want to get better and want your career back, he is definitely not the person for you. He will only bring you down.
He is a washed up 40 year old, that is bragging about sleeping with you. He is not who you think he is!

Good luck lindsay! Words of advise, do some research on Tony Allen! Ask anyone in Savannah, that knows him. He is 40, is married & has twin eight month olds. He has lied and burnt bridges, with all of his friend’s in Savannah. His band and corny video, was done with his wife’s money. She has been totally humiliated. She has had to find out things, through interview’s, magazines and pictures. At least be a man Tony, and be honest with people. You have already ruined too many peoples lives.

Tony, before you can be called a talented musician, you have to be able to sing and play the guitar. To be called a gentleman, you have to know how to treat women. Cheating on your wife, is not very gentleman like. caring? Abandoning your 8 mth old twins and wife in Savannah, is not to caring. Who is Tony Allen? He is a 40 year old married guy, with a wife and children. His wife “Stephanie” is a beautiful woman. Her money, has paid for his band and cheesy video.

Tony is a 40 year old, that has a wife and twin babies, in Savannah. What kind of person, abandons his family, and returns back home, like nothing has happened. What a loser!!!
Lindsay needs to stay far away!! Good luck on getting better girl! Tony, grow up, your 40!!! Act your age!

This guy is a fake. He bought his way into a band with his wife’s money. The band sucks. He cant play or sing! And I bet money he’s back in rehab within the year. You don’t fall in love with someone by NOT sleeping with them. MARINATE on that and watch this idiot go down in flames HARD!

He’s a jerk b/c his wife has been devastated by this.

Before you can be called a “great dad”, you kind of need to spend time with them.

And for the “married with twins” comment …Tony is seperated, was before he went to rehab and he’s a great dad to his kids!

So Jesse…why does kids,marriage and being “friends” with Lindsey make him a jerk? So far every story I’ve seen states they’re just friends. Or maybe you know them both personally, was in rehab with them and have a story no one else does. You should only talk about things you know first hand.
