Lindsay Lohan's Ugly Betty gig sounds like a sequel to Mean Girls.

The gossip mongers over at Page Six say the actress' appearances have been cut because she and Ugly star America Ferrara simply couldn't stand one another and Lohan was generally just a self-obsessed pain in the ass.

It got so ugly on the set of Ugly Betty between Lindsay Lohan and the popular ABC show's star, America Ferrera, that Lohan was cut from an agreed-upon six episodes to four.

One production source said, "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."

In addition, Lohan "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."

A big mouth source also claims that Ferrara, while rehearsing a scene in which she pulls down Lohan's pants, went all the way and revealed the star's uncovered vagina. A Lohan pal insists that's not true, offering this hilarious defense: "Lindsay wears underwear all the time now. She was wearing a G-string. And it was America's fault." Boo-hoo.


The truth comes out! Twenty-seven year old Austrian politician Stefan Petzner admitted this week to having a long-term affair with his recently deceased boss, Jörg Haider (seen in the foreground).

Though it's long been rumored, the murmurs of Haider's homo ways were revived last week after photographers spotted him at a gay bar just minutes before he was involved in a fatal car crash.

Ooooh, they've gone and done it. After shafting them last week by releasing news of the divorce after the tabloids hit newsstands, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are being paid back by the celeb weeklies with less than favorable reports.

Rosie O'Donnell's steadily making her way back to television dominance!

First there's that NBC variety show, which will be piped in coast-to-coast on Thanksgiving eve, and now comes word that the lesbian entertainer will soon headline a new Lifetime made-for-the-boob-tube movie:

Rosie O'Donnell has signed on to star in and exec produce America, a telepic for Lifetime about a 16-year-old boy's struggles within the foster-care system.

America reunites O'Donnell with producer Larry Sanitsky and scribe Joyce Eliason, with whom she worked on CBS' 2005 telepic Riding on the Bus With My Sister.

Set to premiere in February, the made-for is based on E.R. Frank's book of the same name. O'Donnell will play the therapist who guides the pic's title character, America, beyond his troubled past.

For those of you who never saw Riding on the Bus With My Sister - and, really, who can blame you? - O'Donnell played a mentally disabled girl. It was, in a word, absurd. Don't believe us? Check out a clip down below. (PS: Toilet seat!)

So, remember those rumors that mega-star actor Will Smith employed male hookers to get his gay rocks off?

Well, some people Hollywood muckraker Ian Halperin got the low down from the "discreet" madame. Here's his short, sweet explanation: I met “Renata” when I posed undercover as a gay actor in Hollywood last year. She came up to me at a Starbucks and tried to recruit me to work for her." That's how we meet all our sources, too.

Meanwhile, Halperin names more names, and none of them are very surprising, ie: Charlie Sheen and Jack Nicholson, who apparently likes it "lewd."

Angelina Jolie also allegedly called in for "hot female escorts with tattoos."


Pop star Pink spoke out this week on rumors that she's of the Sapphic variety.

While some stars would simply say, "No, I'm no gay," the singer says she's proud of the same-sex mix-up: "I'm proud people think I'm gay. Everyone has always thought I was gay because of the tattoos, the short hair, the attitude. But I don't care. I love to challenge people's preconceptions."

She also took some time to speak out against the "annoying" fact that gay folks have restricted rights: "…It really annoys me that gay people aren't allowed to get married in most parts of America. I'd go on a march for gay rights any time."


Austin Drage, a contestant on Australia's musically-inclined competition, The X-Factor, came out this week to tell the world he's not gay.

The rumors started on Sunday, when gay glossy DNA's website described the singer as "openly gay," a remark that brought all sorts of kudos from the island's queers.

Not willing to take undeserved praise for his gay bravery, Drage told his local press: "I am sorry to disappoint but I am not gay. But I am very flattered to have a gay fan base. And I appreciate all the support I have been getting while on The X Factor."


Madonna's divorce definitely grabbed headlines, but here's one that we find far more fascinating: ex-gay activists Greg Quinlan and Cheryl Quinlan called it quits.

The couple became poster children for the "cured queer" movement and even used their marriage as a political chip, like when Greg Quinlan testified to Ohio lawmakers that he and his wife were proof gays don't need marriage rights - we can just go straight! Said Mr. Quinlan:

Tens of thousands of homosexuals have changed and more desire to change. Homosexuality is a behavior–not a genetic trait. Based on verifiable evidence, there is no justification for same sex marriage, civil unions, or domestic partnership legislation. None.

My wife and I are living proof–along with thousands of others–that persons with same-sex attraction can, and have, changed–and thereby can marry and be happy again.

We have chosen to follow the Manufactures’ specific guidelines for our lives. That means committed to one another as man and woman.

Poor Greg spoke too soon, huh?

Despite her gut-wrenching divorce from Guy Ritchie, Madonna has not given up on living in London. This means, of course, we Americans won't have to handle the burden of hosting the pop star. Meanwhile, actress Gwyneth Paltrow admitted she's helping Madge through this hard time. What a relief! [The Hindu and BBC]
