Lindsay Lohan's relationship with estranged father Michael Lohan got even uglier on Nov. 4, when Michael released a series of secretly recorded audiotapes of conversations he had with Lindsay and her mother, Dina. But now Michael is doing an about-face.

"I will not release another audiotape about Lindsay," he tells Life & Style, claiming he leaked the tapes only to pressure Lindsay -- who he fears is abusing prescription drugs -- into a rehab facility. "I did it because I wanted Lindsay to know how I felt when I heard that tape. When I get a phone call at 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the morning from my daughter and she's in dire straits, I get very concerned."

On one recording, a hysterical Lindsay claimed, "No one cares about me." On another, Dina talked about Lindsay "cutting herself and hurting herself," while another disturbing recording exposed the troubled 23-year-old's apparent secret fling with Heath Ledger, who died of a drug overdose in 2008. Dina was livid after the tapes were released, saying, "The tapes were from a long time ago. For a father to stoop this low is unforgivable."

Her first time to the podium, as winner of the Best Supporting Actress award at last night's Golden Globes Awards in Hollywood, Kate Winslet was at a loss for words. "You have to forgive me," Kate, who won for her role as a former concentration camp guard in The Reader, told the audience at the Beverly Hills Hilton, "because I have a habit of not winning things."

Later in the evening, it was Kate's turn again, and this time it was an even bigger award, Best Actress for Revolutionary Road. This time, she was even more flustered.

"I'm so sorry! Anne, Meryl, Kristin — oh, God, who's the other one? — Angelina," she said, referring to fellow nominees Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Kristin Scott Thomas and Angelina Jolie.

Kate wasn't the only big winner of the night. Slumdog Millionaire won awards for Best Drama, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Screenplay and Best Original Score.

Mickey Rourke took the Best Actor award for The Wrestler, and the late Heath Ledger took Best Supporting Actor for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

It was a dead heat between the stars of 2006's The Devil Wears Prada as Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) and Meryl Streep (Doubt) tied for Best Actress honors at the 14th-annual Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., last night.

Heath Ledger posthumously won the Best Supporting Actor award for The Dark Knight. Sean Penn took the Best Actor trophy for his performance in Milk, and Kate Winslet won Best Supporting Actress for her role as a former Nazi concentration-camp guard in The Reader.

But the biggest winner was Slumdog Millionaire, which won awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Writer and Best Composer. Its star, Dev Patel, also was voted Best Young Actor.

What a Knight! The Dark Knight was nominated in five categories at last night's People's Choice Awards in Hollywood, and won in every one of them! It scored for Favorite Movie, Favorite Action Movie, Favorite Cast, Favorite Onscreen Matchup (Christian Bale vs. Heath Ledger) and Favorite Superhero (Bale).

Other winners included Will Smith (Favorite Male Action Star); Angelina Jolie (Favorite Female Action Star); Brad Pitt (Favorite Leading Man) and Kate Hudson (Favorite Leading Lady).
