I am – Hercules!!
“Ugly Betty” has a new recurring player in “Mean Girls” star Lindsay Lohan, who will appear in the series’ currently shooting May 22 season finale and in five more episodes airing next season.
The actress has done plenty of TV in the past, including 2004 guest shots on “That ‘70s Show” and “King of The Hill.” A 6-year-old Lohan began her screen career playing a trick-or-treater on David Letterman’s NBC show in 1992.

why?

It'd be nice to see LiLo really stretch her acting abilities by playing someone fallen on hard times. Who'd have thought she's a method actor? I'll still watch to see if she sheds any clothes.
-
Is she gonna hit bottom enough to start doing porn?
-
I never thought too much of her as either an actress or a sex princess. But it's too bad that she fell so hard in her personal life. It's hard not to look at her in a mocking way anymore. Frankly, I think her best chance at coming back is to disapear for awhile and come back as a more serious actress in 5 to 10 years. But at the moment, she is a joke and she doesn't have the looks to make us sympathise for her anymore.

High ratings for these shows proves that Americans like garbage television.

CSI: For dumb people who like to feel smart, but aren't...
by stormwatcher
Man that show is retarted. I love how Juries are now asking for CSI type evidence for everything. Like any police force would invest that much money in solving a murder.
-
Seriously? I didn't think that many Grandparents still existed in America. I don't get CSI at all. I mean if I wanted to be talked down to like I'm a moron for an hour I'd watch CSPAN or TBN. Here's every episode of CSI. Someone dies, bitter angry detective calls CSI team, the whole time they are working they talk to each other like none of the others knows a thing about science or how the forensics tests work, and in turn talking down to their audience, then stealing from Colombo, visit the killer a couple of times, before catching him with some bit of obscure evidence that any forensics person would have found. Thank you Jerry Bruckheimer. If I worked with those people, I'd have gone postal during season 1 and had my own episode, KDOC goes to jail for killing his CSI team for being a bunch of asshats.

By the way, the tits are big, but did you see those Vanity Fair pics? Something is seriously wrong with her nipples. The look like a 3 year olds. If she ever has kids, they're gonna starve trying to find something to latch on to.
-
Strange story for AICN... this is not "cool" and barely qualifies as "news".
-
a "Playboy" spread for Lohan. It's inevitable. She earned less than 15 minutes o' fame as a nude Marilyn Monroe ("New York" magazine). And, bottom line, her "solo" movies tanked at the boxoffice (I KNOW WHO KILLED ME, JUST MY LUCK, et al; she was obviously coked-up when approving these scripts). Nevertheless, the tabloid press still allude to her as a "movie star" (??); then again, they address Sharon Stone as a movie star (never mind that Stone never made a profitable movie, exempting BASIC INSTINCT). Lohan can see her future at the bottom of a tequila bottle. Her only defender has been the intolerant, pretentious twit, Richard Roeper ("The press and public should stop hounding her!" Yeah, we're the blame, you dumb douchebag. Jesus, please bring back Ebert and resurrect Siskel). I loved the adolescent actor from HARRY POTTER who had no choice but to fraternize with Lohan for some social event. Lohan boasted about eventually winning an Oscar. The POTTER teen enlightened the press, "First, she should learn to be an actress...she can't act!..."
-
The only hope for the show is constant stunt casting, but people will get tired of that fast.
-
doesn't mean she's not going to make movies. Duh...
-
that maybe she should do more television. Always thought she would be better off in a comedy.
-
Anyone can just turn on CSI and watch. It's brainless and formulaic. There is nothing to keep track of really. Whereas Lost is complex and requires a memory. People actually keep clear of Lost because they know they wouldn't understand a thing. Hell, the way it is now, if you stopped watching at the beginning of S3 you'd be confused if you tuned in now.
-
If there ever was a show that tried to present the Latino community in a realistic fashion, this ain't it. Plus the fact that the show is gayer than a picnic basket doesn't help much. The only good thing about the show is the fake, hot receptionist and the sister.
-
wow how spent and haggard she looks yuck. not even her makeup can hide her worn out whory appeaprance. I cant believ how quick she changed to her other appeprance on SNL when she was actually somewhat hot with them harry potter skit focused on her tits.
-
is America Ferrera 200 times cuter than LiLo.
in fact, LiLo is disgusting. -
this is supposed to make me watch this show? I'll only watch when Lohan is having a nervous breakdown while on a serious coke jag and her genitals are showing for all to see. Anything less is of no interest.
-
actually looking at those film titles next to each other its a surprise she's not running hollywood by now...

Betty has already garnered more Emmys than “The Wire"
by iamjack'suserid
Uh, what kind of dumb, random thing is that?? Everyone who doesn't ride a short bus to school knows that The Wire is terribly underated and underappreciated. And we know The Wire is a far superior show, so why the stupid blurb about the pointless Emmys?
-
Yeah she did a sex scene in one of the movies she made but she really needs to get those fine titties out (OK I know she did that too for the Marilyn pics but...her tits out AND having sex onscreen is better). I laugh at people saying they wouldn't touch her with yours. You all know you'd have her in an instant if she was offering! I would get the KY out (or vegetable oil, whatever) and pwn her up the ass. She'd love it too. She'd have a fully satisfying g-spot orgasm, and several clitoral o's to boot. I'd fuck her. You'd fuck her.
-
I get to see the new Indiana Jones Movie on Wednesday. I'll let you know if he dies at the end...
-
Has some chops...it'll be interesting to see how this goes. Still, a well-lit nude scene an a major motiion picture would do wonders for her career.
-
...yeah, I hated that too - but it had to be said. DarkJediStoops, I think you're onto something.
-
Was also in Total Recall which made nice money..ok she wasn't a lead in it. Lohan can still act she needs to do something like this to fix her career. She needs to be a supporting actress for a long time now and not get in any trouble. This is what happens when a movie star would rather be a sex symbol/porn actress/stripper. Back in the day it was the other way around..all the pr0n stars wanted to be taken seriously..now we got these young girls all wanting to be seen naked like they have something the even hotter 1 million girls on the interenet who are nude don't have.What a waste of talent.

Comic book guy apparetly posts on "Ain't it Fat News", LOL!!!
-
in the long run. The shark, it's been jumped.
-
Lohan? no... Betty? No... "joins"? No.. "Cast?" Certainly not - cast makes me think of broken limbs.So that leaves the word "of". "Of" is pretty cool. A one syllable sound. Say it over and over long enough and it stops being a word at all. Of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of.Of of pog, blog blog scuba. Scuba of blog. Blog pog of scuba. Of of of. Scu-u-uba. Of.All you need it of.
-
is on crack. ferrara IS ugly america! Lohan is very hot. Especially from the mean girls era. she's a little too tan now, but i would't kick her out...
-
But I am a huge horndog.Yes. I have issues.

I'm disappointed, this should have been a hilarious TB.

You shouldn't be too surprised.
-
remember when she first started on that nickelodeon "all that" shit doing that skit on the bed, ask Amanda or some shit well i came to that audition back then when i was 11/12 and doin commercials, it was one of the show's soundstages i think, empty audience seats. needles to say i didnt get the cuntwhores p art.
-
He thrusts into battle limp-wristed
-
...are the inevitable next phase in Lohan's career. She needs to pay her bar tab somehow.
-
And thus I have expounded all my Lohen knowledge...
-
she is a walking commercial to not do drugs...never have i seen such a beautiful girl hit the wall so quickly...she looks 40...and i thought i know who killed me, killed her career...guess i was wrong
-
Whilst we both snort our very own 8Balls of coke!
-
I guess she is not that big of a movie star after all. Pap's make them all bigger stars than they are.
-
Since when is a five episode guest spot the same as joining the cast?
-
That last Tribal Council was the best yet (and the ones in the weeks before weren't too shaby either). And Amanda looks good in a bikini.Another way to look at Lohan's box office track record (I'd do a graph here if I could):1998 - 1 film - $66.3 million2003 - 1 film - $110.2 million2004 - 1 film - $29.3 million2005 - 2 films - $152 million2006 - 3 films - $48.8 million2007 - 3 films - $26.05 million

Proof that it sucks.
