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.
Neil Patrick Harris Attempts Display Of ‘Integrity’ By Knocking Britney Spears And ‘Stunt Casting’
7:45AM Molly Friedman | Despite the increase in ratings Britney Spears’ guest appearance brought to How I Met Your Mother, unicorn-loving star Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t pleased with the producers’ stunt casting plans. And he’s not afraid to say so. The shoe fairy is so confident in the allegedly in-danger-of-being-canceled show’s content that he’s intent on maintaining the show’s integrity based on content alone, sans tabloid names to keep it afloat. As he told the AP this week: “Our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed…I worry that if they start `Will and Grace’-ing us too much, that the show will suffer…I think we have a great show going, and I hope it’s not screwed up by the desire for 700,000 more viewers.”
