Reputation Makeovers
Posted on May 9, 2008
Attempting to tone down her party girl image, Lindsay Lohan will appear on the May 22 season finale of Ugly Betty - and then return for five new episodes in the fall. Hey, it worked for Britney Spears! The Denver Post’s Joanne Ostrow writes: “The Britney Spears rehabilitation tour continues… when the troubled 26-year-old pop star has her second make-nice gig on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother. Britney’s people called CBS’s people to set up the first cameo. Because the ratings proved positive — an extra 1 million people watched — she’s back as the dermatologist’s receptionist, intent on demonstrating she’s stable enough to handle the rigors of TV comedy. The sight of Spears delivering lines without a meltdown apparently goes a long way toward undoing the damage she did her career during last year’s MTV Video Awards.”
On Ugly Betty, Ms. Lohan will play a mean girl from Betty’s high school days who resurfaces to wreck havoc on the bespeckled one’s life. Executive producer Silvio Horta has reportedly said, “Lindsay was terrific - a real pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant.”
Color her humble.
