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. 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. |

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!) |

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."

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.

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. Poor Greg spoke too soon, huh? |
