Lindsay Lohan had a brief stint on Ugly Betty this season, for which she was put on the long list of actresses who might eventually be nominated for a guest actress Emmy. Also sharing that list was Britney Spears, for her How I Met Your Mother spot. Like Katherine Heigl, Lohan has removed her name from the list of actresses in contention for a nomination. Her rep said that “We made a decision to wait” since Lindsay is planned for a 5-episode arc next season. I bet she just couldn’t stand it that Britney might got nominated for an Emmy while she could be left out:

Lindsay Lohan is following in the footsteps of Katherine Heigl by pulling her name from consideration for this year’s Emmy Awards.

Lohan, who made a guest appearance on the season finale of Ugly Betty in May, bowed out in hopes of increasing her chances next year, when she’s scheduled to appear in five episodes as a down-on-luck high school pal of Betty’s.

“The appearance was brief,” a rep for the actress told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday. “We made a decision to wait.”

Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta raved about Lohan to Usmagazine.com in May.

“She was terrific – a pleasure,” Horta said. “She came in early and was very pleasant.”

US also has quotes from Ugly Betty’s creator about how professional and charming Lohan is. She’s also been praised for showing up on set and actually doing the work for her new film, Labor Pains, in which she plays a young woman who fakes a pregnancy to keep her job. Lindsay has developed a new talent of faking to keep her job, so she surely can relate to her character. At least she’s hanging in there and trying to do her work, but it seems like she shouldn’t get any more chances at this point. There are plenty of brands she could represent and commercials she could do that would be more fitting for her at this stage of her career.

Lindsay Lohan is shown on the set of her I Know Who Knocked Me Up movie, or whatever it’s called, on 6/16/08, thanks to WENN.
