Lindsay Lohan has taken her name out of the race for consideration at the forthcoming Emmy Awards - because her guest spot on Ugly Betty was too “brief”. The actress landed a cameo role in the hit TV show, and was thus eligible to be nominated for the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series trophy.
But Lohan insists she does not want to be put forward for the award just yet, because her character only graces the screen in one short scene. Her publicist Leslie Sloane tells the Los Angeles Times’ Gold Derby blog, “The appearance was brief. We made a decision to wait.” Instead Lohan - who plays a bully on the program - will wait until the next season of Ugly Betty, when her character will have a more prominent role.
Drama Queen Katherine Heigl is complaining yet again. She is blaming the writers of the hit show Grey’s Anatomy for not giving her enough material to work with and thus has taken herself out of the running for this years Emmy nominations.
The reason for the lack of material was because the writers felt that between her movie career and filming Grey’s, it would be too much for her to take on as much as she had previously.
Heigl told the Los Angeles Times,“I did not feel that I was given the material this season that warrants an Emmy Award nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention.”
“In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from another actress who was given such materials.”
A show insider told Entertainment Weekly that the actress’ comments are “a slap in the face” to the hard working writers on the show.
The source said, “The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”
It seems as though Heigl really wants out of her contract and is pissing everyone off in the process. Apparently she thinks that she is too good for TV and wants to be the next Julia Roberts. Um yeah. Not going to happen.
