Is Michael Lohan getting camera shy?

The world's most publicity-hoggin' celebrity parent hit the Hamptons this weekend and actually tried to stay under the radar, according to a source.

Although Papa Lohan showed up at the Hennessy House at about 3 p.m. on Independence Day with a male pal, he surprisingly didn't turn it into a photo op. "For the first time ever he asked that he not be photographed or videotaped," the source said. (FYI: The pic accompanyng this item is a file photo from one of his more press-friendly encounters.)

Michael hung around the afternoon barbecue for about three hours. "He chatted with other people," the source continued, "but for the first time not with many women!"

As for the rest of the Lohan clan, they were 3,000 miles away with cameras in tow. Lindsay was with mom Dina and sister Ali when they hit the DKNY House in Malibu to shoot their E! reality series, Living Lohan.
