THE ITALIAN JOB - GREEN POKES FUN AT HILTON + LOHAN'S PARENTS

THE ITALIAN JOB star SETH GREEN has poked fun at PARIS HILTON and LINDSAY LOHAN's parents, blaming them for the Hollywood party girls' recent troubles. As Hilton spends time in jail for violating her probation and Lohan cleans up in rehab after crashing her car in an alleged drink driving accident, Green insists the pair's parents are at fault, and he's grateful his folks were stricter. Speaking on MTV show Total Request Live yesterday (11Jun07), Green said, "These kids today with their bad parenting and their lawlessness... I had parents who beat the c**p outta me when I did bad stuff. I got punished for not going to school. "Heaven forbid I drove my car drunk and got stopped. I would have gotten hit with the switch, and then even worse if I'd have driven a second or third time on a suspended license. Gosh, I probably would have gone to jail like normal people. "We have different paths, all of us do. If I crashed my car into a stationary object and when the police were checking out the car they found cocaine under the seat, the chances are I'd go to prison. "At least I woulda got beaten by my mom instead of taken to a club with her. We have different philosophies."
