Not only is the real fashion world cut-throat – so is the pretend fashion world. Lindsay Lohan was meant to guest appear on six episodes of Ugly Betty but she ended up being cut back to just the four that are already taped. The reason is apparently a heated bit of drama between Lindsay and, well, just about everyone else since it seems that the crew and the star of the show, America Ferrera hated LiLo. Ouch.

Someone in production explained it all to the New York Post:

“It was a mess. Lindsay would show up every day with an entourage of people. She smoked 24/7, and after she left, they had to repaint her dressing room it was such a mess . . . [Lindsay] would obsessively cut pictures of herself out of the tabloids like she was creating some sort of scrapbook and refused to go on set until America was there – it was a power play.”

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, “Bull [bleep]! 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.”

[Lindsay’s] pal blames Ferrera for any issues, saying, “America was mean to Lindsay. Producers give her too much power. Lindsay didn’t do the last two episodes because America didn’t like her and got her kicked off.”

Couldn’t they have worked this into an episode? A big fight or something? That would have rocked!
