New reason to watch ABC sitcom Ugly Betty: star America Ferrerra apparently loathed Lindsay Lohan so much that her guest role was chopped from the agreed-upon six episodes to only four. Oh, and it gets even better — America even made Lindsay cry on the set during rehearsals. Ha ha ha ha ha! According to Page Six

One episode, titled “Granny Pants,” was about how Lohan, playing Betty’s high school nemesis, would “de-pants” Ferrera. But Ferrera exacts her revenge and pulls down Lohan’s pants instead. “Lindsay wasn’t wearing any underwear,” the source said.

But a Lohan pal fumed, “[Bullshit]! Lindsay wears underwear all the time now. 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. America was mean to Lindsay. Lindsay didn’t do the last two episodes because America didn’t like her and got her kicked off.”

Lohan’s rep said, “Lindsay was scheduled for six episodes and is appearing in four but had a lovely time.”

This just goes to show you that fat girls, while unsightly and sweaty and downright nauseating at a buffet, can still serve a purpose. Ladies and gentleman, America Ferrerra!

Nursing her wounds at a fashion show in Tokyo yesterday:

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.
