TwitterLindsay Lohan sans panties booted from 'Ugly Betty'? Huh?
Once a pantie-less, demanding diva, always a pantie-less, demanding diva?
According to the New York Post, Lindsay Lohan's behavior was so ugly on the set of "Ugly Betty," that her agreed-on six episodes was cut to four.
Word is that Lohan showed up every day with an entourage of people and smoked constantly, and the show had to repaint her trashed dressing room.
What made all the mess? Lohan reportedly constantly cut pictures of herself out of the tabloids, creating "a scrapbook." And she refused to go to the set until America Ferrera was there, a power play to make her wait for Lohan.
Wow. This sounds like the set of "Mean Girls," not "Ugly Betty."
One episode, titled "Granny Pants," was about how Lohan, playing the high school bully, would yank Ferrera's skirt down to show her big, baggy underwear.
But when Betty (Ferrera) gets revenge by pulling down Lohan's pants, the cast and crew saw more than they wanted to. "Lindsay wasn't wearing any underwear," the source told the Post.
To read what happened next, keep going...
Foul, cries Lohan's camp to the Post. "She was wearing a G-string. And it was America's fault. They were rehearsing the scene, and America wasn't supposed to pull Lindsay's pants down -- but she did. Lindsay was so embarrassed, she started crying."
Lohan's pal also blames the cast of the Fox sci-fi thriller "Fringe" for the state of the dressing room."
As for the Lindsay Lohan huge entourage? It was only her sober companion, her manager, an assistant and her gal pal Sam Ronson. Oh, and her publicist.
The Lilo source blames Ferrera for any issues between the two girls, saying, "Lindsay didn't do the last two episodes because America didn't like her and got her kicked off."
ABC released the following statement: "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," said the producers of "Ugly Betty."
Co-star Vanessa Williams also had nothing but praise for Lohan. "She was a hard worker, she showed up on time and [in] the scenes I had with her, she was completely prepared. She was great with me," Williams told Entertainment Tonight.
OK, who do you think is the unpleasant, conniving, jealous you-know-what in this caper?
Lindsay Lohan or the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress America Ferrera, about whom we have never heard anything negative, like ever?
I know which one I'd pick.
Let's hear your thoughts.

I wish Lindsey Lohan would just go away. She's a completely uninteresting actress.
They were crazy to ever get involved with her in the first place.
It's pretty obvious the producers of "UB" anticipated Lohan being a problem, as her episodes weren't even consecutive. She appeared briefly in one episode last season, then the first episode this season, followed by 2-3 episodes in which she did NOT appear - basically, giving producers the opportunity to can her for bad behavior at any point. And to blame the show's star for her dismissal? Bad form - LiLo should be happy to have a gig with her spotty sobriety. She continues to be her own worst enemy.
Not that I would ever dare defend Lohan, but I am hesitant to take sides after America Ferrera's ultra catty and hypocritical remarks about Gossip Girl.
She actually chastised the show and said the characters' backstabbing ways were terrible examples for teens and that they shouldn't watch it. Yet, I fail to see how this is any different from the backstabbing that goes on in Ugly Betty. Does she denounce her work as well? Furthermore, Gossip Girl attempts to go beneath the surface and at least reveal why these kids behave this way. GG also makes a point of showing the people who truly have it all, are not always the ones you expect. It shows that though the lives of the uber rich seem glamorous, they are often times the very people who have the least. Very, very good themes and if America could get over herself for a second, she would realize that. And, then there is the little fact that the very show she is disrespecting that of which her friend stars (Blake Lively). Not saying she can't have an opinion but, really! So, I am not taking sides on this one.
maybe america feels the same way about g.g. as i do. personally, i had enough of high school drama when i was in high school. just because these people have more money than me, doesn't mean i care more about their problems. i get what she was saying about the show being a horrible example for teens. i wouldn't want my niece or younger sisters watching that garbage and thinking that it's acceptable to behave like that. at least with u.b. it's done in a way that makes it seem so absurdly out there that it doesn't make sense to act like that. plus it's funny. can't forget the funny.
It is most likely a bit of truth and a bit of lies from each side. That is truly an entourage that Lindsay had with her, that is for sure. At the same time, she does have talent and AF may have been threatened. Of course, LL has a history of poor behavior. I would say 75% LL's fault and 25% AF's fault. Grow up, girlies and Lohan, ditch the entourage. If you cannot go to work alone you are not truly sober yet!
There's a war going on, folks. A real one.
Lindsay was not fired from the show.
All the cast and crew members
say she was very professional and fun
to be with.
Does anyone have any proof otherwise?
I think enough is enough. Lilo has done her stint of running in the dregs and she is ready to pull herself up by her bootstraps and shine. It seems that it's pretty easy to lable someone as a trouble maker if they are already labeled as such. When you have two strong personalities there is bound to be some clashes and thatu's what I think may have happened with these two talented ladies. Let's let it go.
America,she must be jelous of Lindsey Lohan & pulled her out from the show.Anyways who the hell is America if Ugly betty was to non existence .We love Lindsey no matter what you do to her or the media writes about her.please do learn to be more mature girl & then we all can maintain some peace.thanks
