Firecrotch Safety Marshals Deem Lohan Unsafe For ‘Betty’ Set

3:00AM Seth | Lindsay Lohan has been busily reforging the career she whittled away during her extended stint as the Norte del Valle cartel’s number one point-starlet—a plan which began, somewhat inauspiciously, with a six-episode arc on Ugly Betty, playing the title character’s childhood menace. Now come reports that Lohan’s set antics and an ongoing feud with Ugly star America Ferrera have reduced that number to four, and resulted in at least one unplanned flash of ginger from which the crew has yet to recover.

America Ferrera Promotes Anti-Backstabbing Initiative By Taking Down BFF Blake Lively In The Press

6:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Though Blake Lively has absolved America Ferrera of her notorious, Gossip Girl-directed eye roll (claiming that it was simply due to exhaustion from hours of Traveling Pants 2 promotion), it seems like Ferrera didn’t get the “XOXO”-signed memo. In a new interview with Seventeen, the Ugly Betty actress heaps more criticism on her friend’s show; ironically, it’s while decrying how catty girls can be to one another: More »

In the Name of the Sisterhood, Blake Lively Forgives America Ferrera Her Eye-Roll

3:20AM Defamer Hollywood | It was the eye-roll heard around the world (yes, you can hear an eye-roll — it sounds like a faint, wet “oh snap”): while doing a Good Day LA interview to promote Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, America Ferrera looked alternately bored and incredulous as costar Blake Lively nattered on about upcoming plotlines on Gossip Girl. The open mocking of the CW drama (without a single, hasty addendum of, “But it’s a guilty pleasure!”) sent New York’s media world reeling, desperate to protect the scrappy little show that it had clutched to its bosom for so long. To that end, EW dispatched Michael Ausiello to corner Lively in an attempt to determine whether the actress now harbored anti-America sentiment: More »

The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Career Paths

6:20AM Molly Friedman | Only three years ago, Blake Lively was just That Blonde Girl from The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants, and America Ferrera was just the Token Dorky Sidekick. Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, on the other hand, were bonafide TV stars. My, how things have changed. With the film’s sequel debuting next month, we take a look at how each of the leading ladies has done career-wise since the original racked up nearly $40MM at the box office in 2005. While there’s a bit of bad news for the original’s biggest stars, there’s an alternate way of looking at this role reversal: any actress’ status as the perennial “buddy” can obviously change with one little show that could.

Ugly Lindsay

3:05AM Seth | Beyond being an early adopter of the Zipfur coat-sharing system that allows you to borrow an $11,000 mink, use it, then leave it for the next wearer at a designated drop-off point, Lindsay Lohan has been busier than ever with her various acting pursuits. Above, the first photos of her upcoming guest-starring appearance on ABC’s Ugly Betty. The images hint at Betty’s little-known past spent incarcerated in an all-girls’ juvie hall. More »

Lindsay Lohan May Guest Star On ‘Ugly Betty’ Season Finale, Pending Producers Allow Her To Appear Topless

8:00AM Molly Friedman | We have to give Britney Spears some credit: even after all the gurney rides, mental ward stays and umbrella attacks, she’s still capable of inspiring her fellow Bimbo Summit alumni to follow in her bare footsteps. According to TV Guide, Lindsay Lohan is “in advanced discussions” to become the latest stunt cast victim guest star on the May 22nd finale of ABC’s runaway hit Ugly Betty. And in a nostalgic nod to the good old days when she played an outcast in Mean Girls, she’s reported to play a fast-food worker who Betty befriends. The only bad news? Lohan will be forced to share the guest star spotlight with the all-time queen of anger management-be-damned divadom.
