It must be a welcomed break after being on Samantha Ronson.
Lindsay Lohan will be making an appearance on Ugly Betty’s season finale along with 5 episodes to begin next season. The plot line revolves around Lohan’s character coming back in Betty’s life after being mean to her in high school.
Now there is a stretch in acting. Pretty girl who was cruel to people in high school only to find compassion after being ostracized. Gee…I bet she will take home and Emmy. This will totally make her the next Meryl Streep.

Too many actresses are believing the line that you can’t be too thin. Please, ladies, eat a sandwich or something at the craft services cart. Here are a special shout-out to ten skinny-ass celebs that used to really turn heads
Thandie Newton
Most recently seen in: Run Fat Boy Run
Last time she was hot: Mission: Impossible II
There was a time that Thandie Newton was the next Hollywood hottie. Then someone must have suggested that she had some jelly rolls, because she lost more weight than a cancer patient on Atkins. Now she looks more like a zero-body-fat lizard than a celebrity beauty.
Victoria Beckham
Most recently seen in: Ugly Betty
Last time she was hot: when the Spice Girls were
Not that I was a fan of the Spice Girls, but I will admit that they covered all the bases in terms of fantasy girls. But the former Posh Spice has lost so much weight that her once sultry figure makes her look like a lollipop - a wobbly head on a stick. I’m afraid her neck is going to snap and her hubby will kick her head around their flat like a soccer ball.
Jennifer Connelly
Most recently seen in: Reservation Road
Last time she was hot: Requiem for a Dream
Can you believe this was the girl from The Rocketeer? Or Dark City? This buxom brunette starts getting some Hollywood credibility and drops down to a size zero. There’s nothing wrong with losing a little pudge, but when you look like one of the starving children from Sierra Leone in Blood Diamond, something’s wrong.
Rachel Taylor
Most recently seen in: Shutter
Last time she was hot: Transformers
Okay, I really loved her debut in Transformers. Very few ladies in Hollywood could give Megan Fox a run for the money, especially in a two-hour Michael Bay beer commercial. But in Shutter, this girl looked like she hadn’t eaten since working with Bay. She could make it as an up-and-coming hottie, if she actually ate a sandwich.
Kate Bosworth
Most recently seen in: 21
Last time she was hot: Blue Crush
She just beat the house last weekend in 21, and she banged Superman without being mortally wounded, but I just can’t get over the fact she looks like a 12-year-old boy. It wasn’t hard to hide her nipples in the 21 sex scene, considering she’s about as anorexically flat-chested as Jim Sturgess was.
Ashlee Simpson
Most recently seen in: 2008 Kids Choice Awards
Last time she was hot: 2008 Kids Choice Awards, but still doesn’t look healthy
She was the less-cute sister of Jessica Simpsons, but thanks to silicone, collagen, rhinoplasty and crash diets, she now looks like a supermodel. But that’s not a good thing. It might work for a bulimic supermodel, but for a girl who could have been America’s sweetheart, she looks less like her former self than Michael Jackson does.
Angelina Jolie
Most recently seen in: Beowulf
Last time she was hot: Beowulf (hell, they can do a lot with CGI)
Not too long ago, I saw a tabloid compare photos of Jolie’s scrawny, veiny arm to that of geriatric Clint Eastwood. And you know what? Sometimes tabloids are right. This once hot chick has gotten way too thin. Have you seen the trailers for Wanted? Give me back the Gia days, baby!
Lindsay Lohan
Most recently seen in: I Know Who Killed Me
Last time she was hot: Herbie Fully Loaded
Granted, she’s up and down more often than Oprah lately, but let’s blame this on her lack of focus. I saw her nudie shots from New York Magazine. And while I’m impressed with her huge (but obviously fake) knockers, I just can’t get excited about the freckly femme’s whisper-thin frame. She was chubby-cheerleader cute for a while, but just a year or so ago, her weight plummeted, making her scary-thin for a while.
Saffron Burrows
Most recently seen in: The Bank Job
Last time she was hot: Deep Blue Sea
It’s arguable that former model Saffron Burrows ever really looked healthy. But watching this scrawny, lanky lady tower over Jason Statham in The Bank Job was enough to get her on this list. She made his evil co-star from Transporter 2 look fat. Still, that underwear shot in Deep Blue Sea was pretty nice.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Most recently seen in: The Good Night
Last time she was hot: Se7en
Anyone who is familiar with me as a film critic knows that I have been highly critical of Paltrow for years. But aside from her inability to act (and so many people’s inability to see that she can’t act), I detest how she is physically wasting away as she gets older. She’s one of those girls that went overboard to lose the baby weight. Now, as she enters her late 30s, that too-thin look is not working for her.
The actor wrote a blog on his MySpace page early Saturday morning, detailing how it all went down. He wrote, “Walking back to my friend’s car, about a block away from the party, two men jumped out of their car and held a gun to my face and stole my wallet and my friend’s purse/camera/phone.”
Blue wrote that he was happy to be alive (obviously!) and also glad it didn’t happen to one of his richer co-stars — like America Ferrera or Judith Light.
Did he just use this opportunity to ask for a raise?
What others said:
Ugly Betty News says, “This is an awful thing to happen to anyone, especially near the holidays. Here’s hoping they catch the perpetrators and punish them quickly. Oh, and ABC, Blue needs to be made a regular, and needs a new contract (based on what he’s said about money in this post). Of all of guest stars on Ugly Betty, David Blue is the most universally liked, based on comments at Ugly Betty News.
Lindsay Lohan might be giving her acting comeback a little push with a guest appearance on ABC’s “Ugly Betty”. An insider tells the New York Obsever,
“Everyone’s very excited. Of course it brings a lot of attention to the show, and it’s a great part for Lindsay.”
Lindsay would play a fallen beauty queen who manages the fast food restaurant where the Betty’s father works. Betty, played by America Ferrera, would befriend Lindsay’s character and help get her a job at the show’s fictional fashion magazine.
Looks like “Ugly Betty” is becoming the next hot spot for movie actors to make their guest appearances. Victoria Beckham’s episode is airing tonight. Here’s a little preview:

Her obsession with couture, twiggy frame and primped appearance meant Victoria Beckham fitted right into Ugly Betty’s world of high fashion.
The Spice Girl recently filmed a starring role on the award-winning Channel 4 programme, Ugly Betty - and walked a way with a rather hefty pay check.
She was reportedly paid an impressive £70,000 for a one-off cameo appearance in an episode titled Nice Day for a Posh Wedding.
This sneak peek picture shows Victoria playing bridesmaid to Ugly Betty villain Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams), who is set to wed Alan Dale’s Bradford Meade.
Thursday night TV is finally back - I’ve been waiting for this day for quite some time, and it’s here! Unfortunately, the two best shows of the evening, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘The Office’ are now on at the same time, so it’s get your Tivos ready.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ returns for its fourth season, and it promises to be as drama filled as the last three. We ended last season on Christina’s wedding day, but it wasn’t as happy as it was supposed to be. Burke walked out on the wedding, and Seattle Grace, Meredith and McDreamy were growing a little distant, George failed the exam and has to be an intern again, and Meredith’s half-sister Lexie has come to the hospital to be an intern. Drama, drama, drama. And I love every minute of it.
The title of tonight’s episode is “A Change Is Gonna Come”, so get ready for that.
Season Premiere Tonight at 9 pm EST/8 pm CST on ABC
Tonight also marks the premiere of the fourth season of ‘The Office’, which starts with Michael (Steve Carell) believing the office is haunted. To get to the bottom it, he explores the religious beliefs of his employees. On the ongoing plot side of things, the show promises to bring developments in the romances of Pam and Jim, and Dwight and Angela. Get ready for some fun.
Season Premiere Tonight at 9 pm EST/8 pm CST on NBC
Other shows premiering tonight:
My Name Is Earl - 8 pm EST on NBC
Smallville - 8 pm EST on CW
Ugly Betty - 8 pm EST on ABC
CSI - 9 pm EST on CBS
Big Shots - 10 pm EST on ABC
ER - 10 pm EST on NBC

Even Ryan Seacrest dressed like that couldn’t get people to watch the Emmys this year. The broadcast may have been the least-watched in history.
Preliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research put the audience for Sunday’s show, aired on Fox, at 13.1 million viewers. That’s three million fewer than for last year’s telecast, on NBC, and less than the record low 13.8 million three years ago on ABC.
What were people watching? About 13.3 million viewers chose to watch the New England Patriots play the San Diego Chargers instead. Which is sad since the Patriots won 38-14 and it wasn’t even a game after the first quarter.
The best part of the whole broadcast was Katherine Heigl correcting the announcer who mispronounced her name. Other than that, there were no real surprises. But if you’re interested, you can see all the winners after the jump

Vanessa L. Williams (Ugly Betty) took off her clothes for May’s issue of Allure magazine, the one with Lindsay Lohan on its cover, along with four other female celebrities.
Vanessa, Kristin Chenoweth (The West Wing), Carla Gugino (Night at the Museum) and Marley Shelton (Grindhouse) decided to pose nude for Allure’s “Look Better Naked” pictorial by Michael Thompson.
All celebs are posing completely naked but unfortunately they are hiding their private parts.
In an ironic twist, “Grey’s Anatomy” has won an award for its positive portrayal of homosexuals.
“Grey’s Anatomy,” the ABC hit show whose lead actor was criticized for using an anti-gay slur, was awarded outstanding individual episode Saturday by an organization that monitors depictions of gays and lesbians in the media. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation awarded “Grey’s Anatomy” for the episode “Where the Boys Are.”
The show got unwanted attention last year when actor Isaiah Washington used a slur to talk about a castmate in an on-set dustup. He later apologized and sought counseling.
“Little Miss Sunshine” won outstanding film in the wide release category, while “Ugly Betty” won for outstanding television comedy series and “Brothers & Sisters” took home the outstanding drama series award.
La Opinion newspaper was awarded outstanding Spanish-language newspaper for overall coverage. The Vanguard Award went to actress Jennifer Aniston for her efforts to increase visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Tennis great Martina Navratilova was given the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, in honor of the late casting director who fought homophobia in the entertainment industry.
The 18th annual GLAAD Media Awards — consisting of 42 categories — are split into four ceremonies, held in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and San Francisco in March, April and May. The awards “recognize and honor mainstream media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender … community and the issues that affect their lives.”
Here’s a synopsis of “Where the Boys Are” from ABC’s official Episode Guide:
Derek decides to go camping, so he invites Burke and somehow all the men of Seattle Grace, except for Mark, tag along. When Richard doesn’t have a tent to camp in, he asks Joe and his friend Walter, if he can sleep in their tent but the realizes that Joe and Walter are a couple.
While fishing, Joe tells Richard they’re thinking about having children and Richard says he and Adele never did because she didn’t want raise them alone since he was always at the hospital Joe says Walter says the same thing, since he’s always at the bar, but that he’ll do whatever it takes to keep Walter.
Walter (Jack Yang) and Joe (Steven W. Bailey) are pictured above. It was actually a pretty good episode. I wonder, though, whether the Isaiah Washington controversy wasn’t a major reason for selecting it. Certainly, there are no shortage of positive portrayals of gays, hermaphrodites, and even transgenders on television these days.
