E!’s Kristen is reporting that Lindsay Lohan has been cut from Ugly Betty! Oh no!! Lindsay Lohan’s rep has confirmed the story, so it is true.

Lindsay Lohan was scheduled to appear in a total of five episodes this season (6 overall including last season) for a complete guest arc this season in Ugly Betty. However, sources are now indicating that Lindsay Lohan will not be back for additional episodes, and what’s worse, won’t have her full arc aired! She will still be in tonight’s episode, though, and one more after that.
“They don’t plan to have her back for more episodes,” says a high-level insider. “And they are cutting her out of the episodes they have already shot.”
Another insider claims that Lindsay was not “gelling creatively” with the series, that she was not interesting in creating a dynamic character out of Kimmie. They say that Kimmie ended up being too much like Lindsay, instead of a character of her own. Ugly Betty is a show with “heightened reality,” and they say that Lindsay’s Kimmie didn’t fit in.
According tot he New York Post, who confirm the story, there were a lot of issues on set that led to this decision (this is despite all the good things people were saying before!)
The NY Post insider says that Lindsay was continually late on set, smoked a lot, and made a mess of her dressing room. They say she was obsessed with tabloids (which sounds very false) and that she wouldn’t appear on set unless America Ferrera had shown up as well.
Apparently, in the episode to air tonight, there’s a scene where Lindsay’s Kimmie had to de-pants America’s Betty. And as a fun revenge, America did the same to Lindsay… except Lindsay wasn’t wearing underwear. Lindsay’s friends have stepped up to say this is all crap – that Lindsay was wearing a G-string and the trick was so cruel that Lindsay cried after.
Lindsay’s friends also say the rest of the story sounds false, and that any “entourage” Lindsay had with her consisted of her management, assistant, publicist or girlfriend Samantha Ronson – none of whom got in the way. Instead, Lindsay Lohan’s friends say that America Ferrera was unkind to Lindsay on the set and blame her for forcing Lindsay out of the show out of spite.
Out of all of this, who knows what is true? But I’m sad it’s happened. I thought Lindsay did great on Ugly Betty!
alright,alright,hold on a minute,this ENTIRE rumor article from the ny post/page six is taken right out of the script of episode ‘grannypants’. the trashloid media has stepped to many lows,but this is a new low,an entire article twisted right out of a tv show,lol. i just finished watching ‘grannypants’,Lindsay was great,really nailed the two-faced bad girl role,and totally turned the character evil and unredeemable,yet you still want to like her,bravo. everything described in the post/page six item IS IN THE SHOW,WORD FOR WORD,lol,what a bunch of lying burn book junior-high scumbag ‘adults’. the media today,in every form from tv news readers to the perezhole disciples,totally sucks and is not worth one second of my precious time!!!
LLove you,Lindsay,do your thing,bossy angel…
Untrue. They were photographed shopping and even linking hands (Lindsay, America) before the show screened. I think America was worried that Lindsay will over-take her stardom. After all, Linds does shine on screen. That’s why they booted her because the “Ugly Betty” is America after all.
Well, whether there’s something sinister behind this or not, the part where they state that Lindsay’s acting was not meshing well with the dynamic of the show… I have to agree. I don’t watch that show, but only from the brief clips, I could tell it was more like a live action cartoon. Lindsay behaved too real in her role to work with all of the over-the-top characters in the rest of the show. It just didn’t work.
What bothers me, though, is this will reflect badly on Lindsay and her abilities. I had read an interesting article somewhere that stated that the Marilyn Monroe shoot was about sending a message to producers. “Hey, I say there in nothing but a sheet while that old coot fiddled with the lights for a half hour. I’m ready to behave!”
Well, this whole thing is going to make her look bad, and I do not like that. Now I’m really hoping Labor Pains is good just so it can help her rebuild her career.
ah,sally,why do you persist? are you really perezhole? yes,i smell a rat,hmmm…
well,lets think about this for a minute,Lindsays portions of the ‘ugly betty’ episodes finished shooting a little over three weeks ago,no drama,no lateness,no nothing,everyone said good things about her,all was right in ‘ugly betty’ land. now,all of the sudden,LL is a complete troublemaker,all kinds of garbage and contraversey,at the exact same time that the ‘tmz stooges’ start their lawsuit,and the SMEARnet goes crazy with haters,rumors,and the stink of perezhole,how convenient. once again,i smell a rat and its name is sally,er,perezhole.
no further questions,your honor
America Ferrera can kiss my a**….This is s**t at it’s finest….That’s all i have to say….I still Love you Angel…We all do…peace
America F. is not an easy person to get along with. Many of her costars have always hinted that she’s complicated.
She didn’t like Lindsay and probably had Lindsay cut. This story is fabricated by the Ugly Betty producers to drum up publicity for the show. It’s a known fact that the show has dropped in ratings and stirring the pot by making Lindsay look bad is “their” next step in getting free publicity.
As for Lindsay being late? I have a hard time believing it since she really needs work. I don’t think that Linds would blow her chance to shine. It doesn’t make any sense.
Lindsay needs to stay away.The Us press is out to get her.
what?
why would they do that?
just cuz she ‘SMOKED A LOT’?
that’s her CHOICE!
i am SO pissed.
this is bulllshiit!
I know I said I wasn’t coming back here. But I just saw this story on Perez Hilton. I rest my case!
