Lindsay Lohan has been talking about how much fun she’s had working with the cast at the ABC hit show “Ugly Betty” in a guest star role over the last two seasons. But sources say the feeling isn’t mutual. The cast and crew at the show are so fed up with Lindsay, her habits, and the havoc she wreaks on set, they’ve cut the number of appearances this season from six to four. Meanwhile, Linsday’s defenders are saying that the show’s star, America Ferrera, is the real diva and was “mean” to Linsday.

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.

One production source said, “It was a mess. 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.”

In addition, Lohan “would obsessively cut pictures of herself out of the tabloids like she was creating some sort of scrapbook and refused to go on set until America was there – it was a power play.”

One episode, titled “Granny Pants,” was about how Lohan, playing Betty’s high school nemesis, would “de-pants” Ferrera. But Ferrera exacts her revenge and pulls down Lohan’s pants instead. “Lindsay wasn’t wearing any underwear,” the source said.

But a Lohan pal fumed, “Bull [bleep]! Lindsay wears underwear all the time now. She was wearing a G-string. And it was America’s fault. They were rehearsing the scene and America wasn’t supposed to pull Lindsay’s pants down – but she did. Lindsay was so embarrassed, she started crying.”

As for the dressing room, Lohan’s pal said it was also used by the cast of the Fox sci-fi thriller “Fringe.” “So maybe they messed it up. And an entourage? Yeah, she had her sober companion with her, as well as her manager, assistant and [girlfriend] Samantha Ronson. Her publicist was there a couple of times. But so what?”

The pal blames Ferrera for any issues, saying, “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.”

Ferrera’s rep would only say, “America is grateful to have had her on the show and thinks everyone should tune in to see how great the episodes are.”

Lohan’s rep said, “Lindsay was scheduled for six episodes and is appearing in four but had a lovely time.

Based on everything I’ve read and seen of America Ferrera, I can’t imagine her being mean or instigating a “power play” with anyone. Conversely, there are endless interviews and stories of Lindsay talking smack about other actresses- including those she’s never even met. Pretty much every female peer she’s worked with has tales of Lindsay’s snotty behavior, from Megan Fox to the cast of “That 70’s Show.” If I had to pick which one was the “mean” girl, it wouldn’t be hard to do. It’s too bad that after all she’s been through, Lindsay still can’t seem to understand that her attitude and treatment of people will continue to negatively effect both her image and her ability to get work. “Ugly Betty” may be a TV show, but it’s a high profile one that a lot of people watch. This could have been a great opportunity for her to kick-start her career and win back some acting cred- but instead, her antics are getting more attention, as usual.
