Having a hit network television sitcom is hard work! And this past week, America Ferrera was spotted on the New York City set of her show “Ugly Betty” putting in some weekend hours.
The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” cutie looked hilarious as she filmed scenes for an upcoming episode, sporting an awkward yellow wool topcoat overtop a multi-colored silk printed dress with purple stockings, brown boots, an orange scarf, and powder blue gloves.

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.

Ok, so the Emmys are no Oscars, but it's still a chance for the stars to get glammed up and strut their stuff on the red carpet!
Christina Applegate, Brooke Shields and newcomer Christina Hendricks set tongues wagging...but for very different reasons, of course!
Phoebe Price didn't fail to disappoint, Eva Longoria didn't fail to hide her food baby belly, America Ferrera proved she was a swan after all, and several stars opted for simple black and white.
Check out the gallery for all the Emmy looks!
Who was your fave?
Of all the trends on the red carpet this year -- jewel tones, ruffles, finger waves and blue eyeshadow (?), Heidi, America and Nicolette may not have incorporated all these trends, but their dresses were absolutely fabulous!
America chose a tea-length bubble-hemmed black frock with ruffles that accentuated her curves in all the right places. Her finger-waved hair and bright red lipstick completed the cute, age-appropriate look. Plus - she wore a necklace! Is the bare-necked trend finally over?
Heidi chose a fashion-forward Armani Prive metallic gown. At first, I wasn't sure about the one-shouldered cape, but the petal-like effect was certainly beautiful, and the whole look was bold and risky, and we loved it! As for the matching grey eye makeup, though, hates it!
Now, Nicolette, we were definitely surprised to see in a gorgeous gown in deep purple by Angel Sanchez. She usually picks dresses that show off her figure a bit, so this was a bit of a departure for her. Too bad from the neck up doesn't match from the neck down.
Who was your favorite of the night?
I really loved America, but I didn't think she hit it out of the park!
America Ferrera has made some pretty bold statements about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar Blake Lively’s show Gossip Girl. Ferrera claims shows like that emphasize a catty, competitive, bitchy nature between women and completely discount the loving, supportive bonds many have with one another. Though she’s right, it also seems like that statement has a tinge of hypocrisy, in that criticizing your supposed friend’s show for it is a little harsh in the first place.
America Ferrera isn’t a fan of The Hills or Gossip Girl. “Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows,” she says in the October issue of Seventeen. “Like, if you’re watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act – you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other,” she goes on.
Adds Ferrera, 24: “I mean, I love Blake [Lively], she’s a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean.”
But working with Lively, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies was “one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had with girl relationships,” she says. Before meeting them she says, “I was like, ‘I’m just going to show up to work and be professional – not their best friend… But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking,” Ferrera tells Seventeen. “She’s a hippie, and I thought we had nothing in common – and now she’s one of my closest friends!”

I wholeheartedly agree with everything America said, and frankly while it’ll probably make things a little awkward between her and Blake, I think having the guts to say that is sorta worth it. She wasn’t disrespectful and was honest and concise. Ugly Betty is fun but not overt trash like some of the other shows Ferrera mentioned.
Whenever I read an interview with America it’s clear that she’s whip smart, very opinionated, and well-spoken. I think her comments were pretty fair everything considered, and she made her point without being mean-spirited.
Here’s America on the set of Ugly Betty in Central Park yesterday. Images thanks to Fame.
America's getting ready for the ultimate baseball showdown: Mode vs. Elle!
Ferrara donned the Mode uniform in the show's new home of NYC yesterday to shoot what must be the exciting conclusion of the intramural game from last season.
Who do you think's gonna get the gold?

We cannot wait for some of our fave fall shows to return!
Looking cute in a blue and white checkered sundress with a red and white striped button up cardigan and tan flip flops, America Ferrera was spotted hard at work on the set of her hit TV series Ugly Betty.
Ferrera has been a busy lady lately, as she recently took top honors at Sunday’s ALMA Awards, which recognize achievements by Hispanic artists.
Which Red Carpet Style do you think is hotter?
America Ferrera’s Diane Von Furstenberg dress and Christian Louboutin peep-toes and Fred Leighton jewelry or Eva Longoria-Parker in Armando Piquer with a Nancy Gonzalez clutch and Sergio Rossi pumps? Rate it! Who looks better? Who failed at the 2008 ALMA Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium?
With a successful sequel out of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and a third season filming of Ugly Betty, America Ferrera has a lot going for her. She has many things going for her here as she attended the The 3rd Annual Hot in Hollywood Party, at the Avalon in Hollywood. She wore a stunning kelly green hemmed party dress, black heels, and dark scarlet nails.
America Ferrera and Blake Lively may have been the lesser-known stars of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants when the first movie was released three years ago (both Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel had been in successful series), but since then, they've both become the breakout stars of Ugly Betty and Gossip Girl.
Their star power was evident at the NYC premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, where they were joined by their series' castmates!
In fact, we barely even got a glimpse of Alexis (looking stunning as usual) and Amber.
Although in Amber's case, that might not have been such a bad thing...looks like she took the title of the film too literally, that pantsuit has deffo got to go!
Which show's return are you more excited about? Ugly Betty or Gossip Girl???
In a summer filled with record-breaking Hollywood blockbusters, it’s nice to know that there’s a good chick flick in theatres as well. And last night the stars of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” glammed up the big New York City premiere.
Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn all showed up outside the Ziegfelt Theatre to pose for the paparazzi before heading inside to enjoy movie.
Our own Justin Campbell got us some great shots of America Ferrera playing her fun, endearing Betty while working on the set of Ugly Betty in New York City. Pat Fields, the shows stylist (who used to do the costuming for Sex and the City and styled the entire film) is back to working her fashion magic on America, perfecting Betty’s over-the-top looks for the show. Pat Fields is one of the most talented people working in fashion right now, and we can’t wait to see the depth of her work this season.

America Ferrera has been suffering lately as the set of Ugly Betty has moved New York City from California. Her layered, nerdy-neon-chic look must have her roasting like a peanut in the shell. And most times, they just look crazy fro comedy’s sake. But this look, from scenes shot yesterday: while it’s pretty ridiculous and over the top, We can totally imagine some eccentric fashion type wearing this look to work on a normal weekday. Or if we took a trip to an M.I.A. concert in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, we are positive that at least 5 identical looks would pop up before the show even started. And 10 girls would have those tights. If they keep styling American like this, the show could bring in a whole new fan base.

Lindsay Lohan might be done with Labor Pains - but that just leaves her more time to shoot Ugly Betty!
We spotted Lindsay on the Betty set yesterday afternoon filming a few scenes with America Ferrerra. Are you excited to see her following up on last appearance on Betty? We sure are - her last appearance was such a tease!
We can't wait for Lindsay's next appearance!
Ugly Betty’s outfits are only getting worse and worse! Especially in the summer heat. Poor America Ferrera looked miserable in a sweater and layered clothes as she filmed a scene for an upcoming episode of the TV series at Whitehall in New York City yesterday. Between takes, America tried her best to keep cool. She drank an iced tea and held her hair off her neck. She also had a small portable fan she used to keep her make up from melting off. America looked bewildered by the humidity on set. Welcome to New York, America!

America Ferrera was a busy little bee yesterday on the set of Ugly Betty. She had time to sip an ice tea, chat with co-star Ashley Jensen, and to walk across 28th Street in New York City to enter her fictional apartment while filming a scene. But the best thing that America made time for was a sweet hug for a little girl who was a fan of the show. Aw, that is just adorable - we love it when celebs take time for their fans. Our intrepid photographer Christopher Peterson is bringing us these awesome fotos from yesterday - good job Christopher, we love them.

America Ferrera seems to be settling in quite nicely in her new city! Ugly Betty has just made the switch from L.A. to New York City, and we’re excited to see how setting is going to affect the show. America was looking relaxed in all black as she headed for the make-up trailer on the set of Ugly Betty. They were filming in Empire Fulton State Park next to the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday in New York City, New York. America emerged from the trailer in-costume, and long gone was the naturally pretty, understated starlet. Those clothes! Yikes.

It’s been one of the most surprising television hits this decade, and Ugly Betty’s third season looks to be the strongest one yet. And America Ferrera was spotted on location in New York City yesterday with her nose to the grindstone, cranking out a few more hilarious scenes.
The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” cutie looked as awkward as ever, sporting a pink belted dress teamed with a pair of green and black striped stockings and black high heels.
Looking very much the antithesis of her TV show character, America Ferrera paid a visit to the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday.
The “Ugly Betty” babe was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre looking sexy in a cleavage-baring little black dress with matching high heels and a big smile.

Watch out, America - don't want Naomi swinging a bat near you!
The cast of Ugly Betty filmed a baseball scene in Hollywood with former supermodel slash troublemaker Naomi Campbell - and from the looks of it, catty characters Marc and Amanda are having a good time chatting her up!
Poor America Ferrera, the star of the show, just looks bored yawning in the outfield. That's so Betty - always left out of the fun!
Is the second season of this ABC show just as good as the first?
It’s hard times right now in Los Angeles, California for entertainment workers. The Writers’ Strike is putting people out of work, and celebrities are doing what they can to support the picketers.
America Ferrera and Rebecca Romijn from the hit show “Ugly Betty” were on the scene, showing love to their fellow workers. And the Governor of California, former actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced plans to bring the strike to an end.
Lindsay Lohan is negotiating a role on Ugly Betty that would have her befriending America Ferrera’s character. Lohan starts out working as an assistant manager at the fast food restaurant where Betty’s father is employed, and America tries to get her a job at Mode, the fashion magazine where she works.
“Everyone’s very excited,” the source said. “Of course it brings a lot of attention to the show, and it’s a great part for Lindsay.”
The role is apparently part of a three-episode arc during which Betty befriends Ms. Lohan’s character, who has fallen on tough times since high school. The ravishing redhead has had a difficult year herself, recently completing her latest stint in rehab at Utah’s Cirque Lodge after racking up two consecutive DUI’s this summer.
“It sounds really cute,” our spy burbled of the new opportunity, which of course might be jeopardized by the ongoing Writers Guild strike. “Betty tries to help Lindsay’s character by getting her a job at Mode, the fashion magazine where she works on the show.”
[From NYObserver.com]
There was a lot of hype over another celebrity’s scheduled appearance on the award-winning ABC comedy. Victoria Beckham has an upcoming cameo on Ugly Betty as herself. The episode will air tonight in the US.
Along with this possible role on Ugly Betty, Lohan has two movies coming up that you’ve already heard of. She’s working on Dare to Love Me now, and is set to film Poor Things. The film is in pre-production and is likely to be delayed by the writer’s strike.
Lindsay Lohan new boyfriend, Riley Giles, is being labeled a money-grubbing K-Fed type. A story came out earlier in the week that he posted an arrogant message on his myspace saying that Lohan’s mom had approached them to appear on her new reality show for the E! Network and that they wouldn’t consider it. Giles denies writing that blog post, and says he doesn’t even have a myspace:
It read, “ADVICE OF THE WEEK: if your (sic) a mom, with four kids, the best thing u can do for them right now is have a reality show. WE. DO. NOT. WANT. She had the nerve to ask us to be on. No thanks!”
But snowboarder Giles tells In Touch Weekly magazine, “I don’t even have MySpace. Someone is obviously pretending they are me.”
[From SFGate.com]
Myspace is such a pain in the ass, I barely check mine anymore. Facebook is the way to go and has no spam that I’ve experienced. I don’t blame the guy for not having a myspace.
Here’s Lohan out shopping yesterday looking particularly orange. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

The face looks good (great), but the body is way too Photoshopped! You can tell by all the shadows.
