Lindsay Lohan’s And America Ferrera Face Off On ‘Ugly Betty’
Lindsay cast mates loath her...
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly locked in a power struggle with America Ferrera, causing the actress to be cut from two episodes of Ugly Betty.
Lindsay's 'love me' attitude is said to have reared its ugly head on the set of the hit TV show, with the Mean Girls star rubbing her co-stars up the wrong way.
A source tells PageSix, "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."
The source adds Lindsay, “refused to go on set until America was there - it was a power play."
Yet a close pal of Lindsay blames the lead actress for her cut air time:
"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."
Lindsay rep told reporters that the actress was scheduled for six episodes but had a lovely time filming four.

Becki Newton adores her role as a superbitch on ‘Ugly Betty’
Ugly Betty star Becki Newton adores her role as superbitch Amanda Tanen in the hit US show.
'This is my dream role - I’ve always loved comedy,' she says. 'I’m not afraid to go completely over the top.
'A lot of people are scared to seem silly or to embarrass themselves and I really don’t have that at all – I don’t mind making a fool of myself.
'I like to just have fun and really go for it.'
Becki, 30, who is married to actor Chris Diamantopoulos, gets on well with co-star America Ferrera.
'America's an amazing dancer,' she reveals. 'We sometimes have dance parties on set. We listen to a lot of Gwen Stefani, a lot of Kanye West, a lot of Rihanna – we’ll bust a move to just about anything.'
And there's a chance that on-screen the pair will start getting on better and become special pals.
'I think that possibly Amanda's relationship with Betty could be explored more – not on a romantic level, just as a friend,' says Becki, '...but then again, you never know!'

Lindsay Lohan returned to ‘Ugly Betty set’ for cameo episodes
Clad in a sexy orange cheerleader's uniform, Lindsay Lohan returned to the Ugly Betty set this week to continue filming her cameo episodes in the satirical style industry show. The starlet, who plays lead actress America Ferrera's former high school nemesis Kimmie, later swapped the ensemble for another racy school-girl style outfit of a pvc skirt and over-the-knee socks.
In the current storyline Lindsay is down on her luck and working in a fast-food outlet while the star of America's character has risen.
The rest of the Ugly Betty team have been full of praise for the Mean Girls actress. Ana Ortiz – Betty's sister in the popular series – said the 22-year-old actress quickly got into the improvisational style used by the cast, starting with a scene in which a food fight takes place.
"She throws a mean bagel," she joked. "It broke the ice really well!"
