Feisty Lindsay Lohan overstays welcome on ABC comedy; reports say she disrupted set. No way!
Caaaaat fiiiiiiiiight! In the blue corner, we have Hollywood sweetheart America Ferrera, star of ABC's Ugly Betty and an all-around adored actress. And in the fiery redhead corner, we have Lindsay Lohan, known party girl, rehab regular, and woman of loose morals, so to speak.
Lindsay Lohan was signed on to appear in six episodes of Ugly Betty as an A-list guest star, but apparently her stay will be cut short by a couple of hours. And get this: According to reports, it's because Lindsay was a disruption on the set!
The New York Post has the dirt on the sticky situation, and it's Ugly. The paper cites an Ugly Betty source who says Lohan would show up to set with an entourage, chain smoke, and leave her dressing room in such a horrid state, that it had to be repainted. There is also a report that in one scene, America is supposed to pants Lindsay, and she...wait for it...wasn't wearing any underwear.
But that ain't true, says an unnamed member of the Lohan camp. One source says that Lindsay always wears underwear now, and that America pulled her pants down prematurely. "Lindsay was so embarrassed, she started crying," says the mole.
With regards to the dressing room, the Lohan supporter says the room is also used by the Fringe cast, so it could have been them. (Yeah, Anna Torv was raging in there, sure.) Regarding the so-called entourage, the source says Lindsay "only" had her sober companion, her manager, her assistant, girlfriend Samantha Ronson, and her publicist. That's all!
It's time for some official comments! America's rep said: "America is grateful to have had [Lindsay] on the show and thinks everyone should tune in to see how great the episodes are." Lindsay's rep said: "Lindsay was scheduled for six episodes and is appearing in four but had a lovely time."
As for official comment for Ugly Betty producers: "Lindsay wrapped up her arc and she's done filming. She did a great job and we enjoyed having her. Viewers can look forward to her episodes tonight and next week."
So what really happend on the set that forced the producers to cut Lindsay from those episodes? What happend behind the scene that we don't know? Will Lohan fight back? Lets watch Ugly Betty up coming episodes and find out. Leave here your comment, and tell us what do you think happend between those too?
