Okay So I Freaked..

I would like to be all New York about being here but last night, I confess I freaked out while watching Ugly Betty. I guess if you live – and I mean all your life- in NYC, you would never get excited when you see a familiar place on TV. I however am not used to it.  Here are some screen caps of a place I was at last week ( sans movie stars of course)

In the background, on the corner, you can see the place where I bought my glasses. In fact, I made a fool of myself there by stumbling on a rug and falling into the shop, proving how urgently I needed new glasses. (Also I was looking soooo unfashionable. How did I know that, if you wear glasses in New York, they should be very noticeable. My old ones, besides being scratched into milkiness, were just too subtle for New York.)

Like.. Oh My God!!! I even took a photo here. I was obviously about 4 months too late-(as usual.) No Ugly Betty when I was there but a few slightly delusional guys mumbling to themselves and some  totally unsophisticated out-of-towners posing in from of the fountain to tell the world..  “I was here!!!”  (Just like I am doing now!)

Who knows? Maybe I can get my mug on the show like Pee Wee Herman, trying to look “natural” in the background. Looking natural was never my strongest suit however. I would be giggling like a 11 year old girl and desperately NOT looking at the camera.

Okay, Girl, Let’s Dish….

Lindsay Lohan seems to have thrown away another career opportunity. Her guest starring role on “Ugly Betty” has reportedly been cut down from six to four after a series of clashes with the show star, America Ferrera. According to production sources, “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."

One episode, titled "Granny Pants," was about how Lohan, playing Betty's high school nemesis, would "de-pants" Ferrera. But Ferrera, in the episode,  exacts her revenge and pulls down Lohan's pants instead. "Lindsay wasn't wearing any underwear," the source said. Whoopsie! Must have been quite a eye-popping shocker for poor America. Lohan’s people have denied this and said it was sooo unfair and untrue. She was wearing a G-string.

One can never really know about such stories like these anymore. Either it is a major disaster for Lohan or simply another attention-grabbing maneuver by an over-paid publicist. I have seen some of the episodes and Lohan had been cut down on the ciggies. Her voice is so rough now she sounds like a down and out drag queen just waking up.
