Lindsay Lohan has all kinds of troubles. Money troubles, relationship troubles, job troubles. It seemed like she was getting her act together in terms of the second and third issues, but apparently she’s sabotaged herself yet again.
Yesterday it was announced that Lohan would only be doing 4 of her original 6 episodes for Ugly Betty. She was essentially let go for being a bratty diva that no one could deal with. Now insiders are saying her career is pretty much over.
Lindsay Lohan’s professional life is only getting uglier, so to speak, since news broke that Lohan’s stint on “Ugly Betty” is being cut short because of tension on the set. According to multiple sources, after “Betty,” Lohan doesn’t have any lucrative projects lined up, and she’s not on the short list for any roles, either.
“It’s over for Lindsay,” said one well-placed Lohan source. “She’s got no film work, after this (‘Ugly Betty’ news) she’s not going to land TV jobs; I hear she’s tried to get on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and can’t.”
What’s the cause? “It’s not a matter of will she show up or not anymore, it’s that she can’t carry a movie, she’s just not a draw anymore. When you aren’t a draw, you aren’t going to get auditions. It’s that simple,” the source said.
Another industry source added, “Every project she’s had has fallen through. She’s not even filling up her time with independent films, which is usually the strategy when work gets slow. She’s a good actress, she’s just stuck right now.” A rep for Lohan didn’t comment
[From MSNBC’s The Scoop]
They used to say Lindsay was unemployable because she was such a high insurance risk that she couldn’t get bonded. She’d gotten her act together and was working hard on establishing a professional reputation, and “Ugly Betty” was considered an important part of her comeback. It was supposed to show that she’s down to earth and was willing to work hard. Instead she created so much drama that they couldn’t even handle having her around, and now she has no options left.
It’s sad in a way because it shows that Lohan is completely unable to function without drama. Sure actors are known for their issues, but most of them still manage to be professionals and get their jobs done. Lohan tries to turn everything into high school. Now it sounds like she doesn’t really have any chances left.
Here’s Lindsay at the Diesel 30th Anniversary xXx Rock & Roll Circus on the Brooklyn Waterfront on October 11th. Images thanks to PR Photos.
Good riddance. There are throngs of more talented actors who would make the most of, and genuinely appreciate, the chances this skank has repeatedly pissed away.
Someone needs to let her know no one likes her anymore. We don’t think of her as an actress. She hasn’t any real talent. Make her go away. She is NOT whatever she thinks she is.
Her career is over? When did it ever start?
Yeah, but… how many more chances would she have gotten if she was a guy?
I suspect she’s using again. And not recreational-like.
Also Lindsay isnt a draw?I did a search,cause thats part of my job iam a computer expert and a researcher on markets and happened to find that for example that the latest 3 Natalie Portmans movies went straight to DVDs and the only time Keira draws when she plays on Pirates and thats cause of Jonny and my Hunk.I was suprised to find out that only one from Lindsays movies went straight to Dvd.Scarletts Johansons movies,not one of them has been a big draw,the biggest one was the horse whisperer years and years ago.Lindsay had 3 movies over 55 million and one of them was over 110 million.And she wasnt even a wellknown star nor the movies had any great names in them either./Thats facts.
Phewww.So Lindsay drop it girl.
And by the way her single Bossy?its No1 in the Us on dance music,and thats from Billboard YET NO PRESS is reporting it/
Talk about being against her/Now iam throu.Getting late,goodnight everybody. :|My previous post didnt make it throu the mod so i guess this wont either/
Jaundice….my thought exactly. She’s looking ‘nose candy’ thin in the header photo
If the word around is that she is using again, she’s doomed
Okay look! I know she isn’t the best rolemodel or even the best actress. But everyone seems to be glossing over the fact that this one wasn’t her fault. America Ferrera seem’s to have been a bit jealous and a tad bit, holier than thou on this one. She has stated repeatedly that she didn’t like Lindsey and never wanted her on the show. She whined so much that the producers finally cut Lindsey from the show. And all that about her messing up her dressing room. Ya’ that kind of happens when the cast from the Fringe use it afterwords. C’mon people as twisted as Lindsey really is I’m really disappointed in America for being so petty and childish. Go ahead tear it apart!
@WowPeople, I’m with you. While Lindz isn’t my fav, I do like her. And I want to see her get the help she needs.
She’s like little girl lost. And her family only used her as a cash cow. No wonder she’s screwed up. I wonder how she’d have turned out if someone actually cared about her.
It is hard for me to believe that someone who makes almost daily appearances in gossip blogs is no longer a draw. The public has tremendous interest in her, whether they like her or hate her And Lindsay is incredibly talented. As the parent of a nine-year old girl, I have been exposed to repeated viewings of Lindsay’s performance in the remakes of The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. Those performances were not something that she just pulled out of a hat; they required a great deal of intelligence, discipline, hard work, and talent.
Lindsy’s family of origin is appalling and largely criminal, and she has been horribly exploited by her parents. Has this child (and at my age of 55, Lindsy is a child to me) ever had an adult in her corner? Has she ever experienced a non-exploitative relationship? I hope she has that with Sam Ronson, but who knows. I too hope that she gets the help that she needs, and that, when she is ready, someone will give her the chance she deserves as an actress.
And yes, much as I like America Ferrera, I am aware that she is capable of some very petty and negative behavior. Did anyone see the YouTube clip of America and Blake Lively being interviewed on tv this fall? The sound cable was out on my pc, but evidently America found whatever Blake saying quite irritating, as she rolled her eyes and glared at Blake in her best John McCain fashion…
And isn’t it sad that John McCain (72 years old), the presidential nominee of the Republian Party, comports himself in such an immature fashion during the presidential debates that he is on the same level as an immature and youthful “Mean Girl?”
so i actually saw the ugly betty episode last night, and all the rumors about pants pulling seems to come right out of last night’s episode. first lindsay pulls america’s skirt down revealing her granny panties to the whole high school and then years later america exacts revenge at work, when america pulls lindsay’s skirt down at work.
and yes, I do like them both, but america can be a little catty as well. remember she rolled her eyes when someone asked blake lively about gossip girl. and then in seventeen, america totally slammed blake’s show.
it’s seems like lindsay is just an easy target considering her rep.
America has quite a chip on her shoulder. She tried really hard to get out of making “sisterhood of the trav. pants 2” b/c she felt she was above the role after her fame from Ugly Betty. Girl has the green eyed monster towards Blake Lively and overall seems to think she is much more important than she actually is.
I didn’t realise you had to be a computer expert to use IMDb or google for that matter.
You learn something new everyday – like the fact that Lost in Translation wasn’t popular, nor was The Girl With The Pearl Earring. And that I imagined The Darjeeling Ltd. (with the attendant short that aired with it) and The Other Boleyn Girl in my local cinemas.
Thanks for educating us Lindsay.
So.Over.Lohan. Hope she invested well. She should do us (and herself) a favour and fade away.
As much as I wish this was all true – that her “career” was over and she’s done (and BELIEVE ME I wish this was true) it just isn’t. As someone mentioned, for some mindboggling reason people are interested in her. Maybe (probably) more from a trainwreck perspective, but still. So yeah, she won’t be gone for a long time *sigh* 😆
P.S. Kate – do you get a commission? Just curious.
@Mairead- my thoughts exactly.
After watching Lindsay on Ugly Betty I am surprised she was ever able to carry a movie at all. Her acting skills are absolutely horrendous and leave something to be desired. There’s no difference in wacthing her now to when she was 10 years old. Her acting skills are that of a total amateur and haven’t really progressed much considering all the films she has done. It is actually shocking she Forest Gump’d her way this far.
Lindsay has officially taken the crown from Tara Reid. Bite the hand that feeds you and it will bite your ungrateful ass right back.
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out, LL!
I used to really like her & actually root for her, but she has pissed away nearly every opportunity she has ever had. At this point she doesn’t deserve any more breaks. There are loads of actresses with better chops & a WAY better work ethic out there.
BTW, whatever happened to that tango movie she was “working on”? Those ridiculous photos of her at a dance studio were splashed all over the place for a while, but they just sorta disappeared…
Dumb sleazy top, she forgot to cut the tag off the inside.
However, she might be on the short list for a biopic of HOWDY DOODY … 😆 😆 😆
I’ve tried to hate Lilo but just can’t, no idea why 😕 , and although I’m not a mega fan of hers, I still kind of hope she pulls herself out of this new hole. All the best of luck LL, it sounds like you need it.
I enjoy watching Lohan’s movies(everything after ‘Mean Girls’) for comedic entertainment only. No, she’s not funny, but making fun of her is. I hope she keeps up the good work!
This girl reminds me of another child actress who grew into an adult pain in the a@@. Shannon Doherty anyone? Such a shame, both young women had pretty remarkable talent when they were young and could have carried that talent into a long career. Instead, they became too big for their britches far too early. Elizabeth Taylor got away with that crap in her day. Lindsay and Shannon – no. The world would rather say ‘see ya’ 😕
When you talk about what a studio will put up with or not, they are not willing to take a chance on an actress who famous online, not for her work as an adult actress. Studio heads, production heads see her as a liability and I said 2 years ago she would hang on for a while because she was so busy courting fame for behavior and not her work. She was doomed once the studios won’t touch you, the next step is distribution doesn’t want you, and pay less -and all you have left are indie films – which is what she was working on really. Low budget limited release deals with cable play. Period.
She really screwed up her career but as the post says, she has nothing else lined up. The next thing that will happen in the upcoming months is her management company will drop her. Career FAIL at that point. There is not going to be a fifth and sixth or seventh chance for her. I hope this thing with SamRo is real because that’s really what she has left now.
What career? Since when did wandering hand-in-hand with her girl-thing in view of the paps become a career? Did I miss a meeting ?
Doesn’t matter she can just join Misca Barton in the red-carpet-ubiquity-without-an-actual-job stakes.
Lohan’s such an attention whore that it’ll just be more of the same: one stunt after another to keep in the public eye – and if it’s not her it’ll be her parents.
I could care less about reading about her on the gossip blogs- seems like she is posted without any interest really anymore other than that of her being a lesbian which is probably a ploy for more fame.
She is a has been or never was. She was a cute kid that did well in a disney movie but is not really likeable as this starved down sleeze she has become. People are not buying what she is selling.

Well someone is telling good things about Lindsay from the cast of Ugly Betty.
Its very easily to see iam a European posting from Europe.So if someone supports or is a Lilo fan is either family friend or probably a drug user.Hehehhe. 🙂 😀
Iam glad though i was right.The press and bloggers quicly picked up the bad rumor about Lindsay not checking if it realy is true.
There’s a big difference between an interest in someone’s career and an interest in their incredibly messed up personal life. No one is interested in her acting, they want to see her crash and burn.
I used to root for LiLo, hoping rehab would do her some good. And at first, she appeared to be doing better. But ever since she starting hanging with that d.j. people turned on her. I would advise her to drop the hip hop scene and doing everything she can to be photographed holding hands with her d.j. “friend” and just concentrate on her acting!
Just have to chime in here and say that at the bottom of the actress-barrel, Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan could have an act-off and Lindsay would beat Mischa hands down every time. Mischa Barton cannot act her way out of a paper bag. She was absolutely awful and wooden on the OC – she sounded like she was reading aloud with no emotion whatsoever. At least in her heyday Lindsay seemed to put a little bit of effort into it. I completely agree with ff whenever I see Mischa on the red carpet – I think, who is still paying for those expensive clothes? Surely her career will be over soon. And she and LL can go on Hollywood Squares or something, if Dancing with the Stars won’t have them.
Lindsay is a “draw” like a car accident is a draw. But people aren’t going to pay to drive by it. She is just fodder of interest because she is pathetic. She *was* a good actress when she was a teen, and still probably could be, but she has made drugs, partying and shopping her life’s work, so wow, what a shock she’s got no projects. Party on girl. It’s all you got.
