Lindsay Lohan's life has been put under the lens of a microscope (or, more accurately, the lens of the paparazzi) ever since the 21-year-old actress began overtly flaunting her hard-partying ways. The wild child has since been one of Hollywood's poster girls for out-of-control celebrities, drifting in and out of relationships with men, drugs, and rehab.
However, one good thing may come of her fall from being one of the industry's next big film stars to tabloid fodder--experience. If rumblings on the Internet prove true, Lohan may be able to look at the past few years of her life as source material for her next role.
Lohan is reportedly in "serious talks" with the producers of ABC's Ugly Betty to appear as a guest star on three episodes of the comedy, according to The New York Observer. Citing a "source on the set of Betty," the article says Lohan would play a former beauty queen who works at the fast-food restaurant that also employs Betty's dad.
"It sounds really cute," the source told Observer. "Betty tries to help Lindsay's character by getting her a job at Mode, the fashion magazine where she works on the show."
When asked about the rumor by TV.com, representatives from ABC kept their lips shut, simply saying, "No comment."
Though primarily a star of the big screen, Lindsay has dabbled in television, with credits on That '70s Show and King of the Hill.
Ugly Betty airs Thursday nights on ABC at 8 p.m. For more information, read TV.com's previous coverage.
Im not going to watch Ugly Betty for the three episodes Lindsay Lohan is on.I hate her,such a BAD choice!
If that happened, that would mean that they successfully found a way to make the show even worse.
Noooo - bad idea... unless she sorts her self out first - but she will probably think that she is the main star of the show -MIAOW!!!!
Sounds cool. I love "Ugly Betty" and I liked Lindsay in "Bobby", but haven't seen any of her other movies.
haha gosh!
Interesting...
I like it!!
Lindsay had some really good movies - I hope she just sorts herself out and starts to set a good example for her younger fans.
I'd rather see her in a campy role in Ugly B then on some dang reality show. What a train wreck. her parents don't know WHEN TO STOP!!!!!
if she enter this show then that will be over for me lohan was good in movies and when she made freak friday i said wow that her kind of movies she need to make and then she all cool and drugs and everything means girls was not her movie and she really ugly
Just make her go away.
Just like - athenaisLost - cleverly outlined "trash belongs in the garbage, not on tv" (unless we're talking about reality tv)
That would be good. Call me naive, but I think she's changed. But that could change right after I submit this. So, don't quote me.
this is funny i will watch it just so that i can see lindsay act it has been a long time since i watched any of her movies and i hope she does a good job this time around. i love the way she did teenage drama queen
Well, I don't watch <i>Ugly Betty</i>, but I like Lindsay Lohan as a person, just not her choices and it'll be fun to see her on TV.
Trash belongs in the garbage, not on tv.
I don't like her... She should just stick to porn because she can't act...
well I dont watch the show but hey she should do good but then again the writers stike has to end before all that happens
