Lindsay Lohan was on the set of “Ugly Betty” this weekend preparing for her multiple-episode guest role on the show. Linz is hoping that her small screen appearance will give her lagging career the boost it so desperately needs, or that at least she’ll get to blow a couple of guys on the set. According to MSNBC

“She really, really needs this to go well,” said one industry source. “For the longest time she’s been getting terrible advice — that’s been obvious for quite some time. This is the first good decision she’s made from an acting standpoint since ‘Georgia Rules.’”

Lohan “arrived on set 45 minutes early,” and she and the show’s star, America Ferrera, “really hit it off.”

Of course, if television doesn’t do the trick, there’s still the music career to fall back on — her new album is slated to drop later this year. I assume execs mean “drop” in the literal sense of the word here, like the motion of a turd being released into a toilet. Or, more specifically, the motion of a washed-up actress sinking to her knees in the inevitable sex tape/last ditch effort to revive her “career.” It is her destiny.
