- Great American Road Trip (NBC, 8pm): New day. “The six remaining families hit the road, leaving the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and skirting through Missouri, where they land in Branson to perform skits before crooner Andy Williams and comic Yakov Smirnoff.” Apparently, the families also journey back several decades.
- Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Amy needs assistance with her chaotic schedule, so her dad and sister lend her a hand.” When the supportive applause died down, she put the baby back to sleep.

Lindsay Lohan on Reality TV?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip, Rumors,
According to TMZ, former movie star Lindsay Lohan may be setting her sights on reality TV…with a little help from industry mogul Ryan Seacrest. The American Idol host has turned reality TV into a personal empire, and now it seems he would welcome Lohan into the successful fold.
Seacrest twittered recently that he “Met with lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her..it helps people and gives others a second shot! Still putting it all together.” Lindsay also offered up a message, which begins with “Working on a really great project for television- I am excited!” Rumor says that money, the figure $1 million has been tossed around, will be offered to help these people affect a change.
So, here’s the million-dollar question: which network will be brave enough to take on a Lohan-centric project? None of the movie studios seem willing to do it, and everybody answers to somebody…so we’ll see.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Straight to Basic Cable
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Cable, Video,
“For once my life doesn’t suck.” - Lindsay Lohan in Labor Pains.
She may have been let go early from her job on ABC, but Lohan is still good enough for ABC Family. It was just announced that the last movie the 22-year-old has filmed will not be hitting the big screen as originally planned. Later this July, Labor Pains will avoid a straight-to-DVD label and premiere on the basic cable channel first.
In the comedy, Lohan stars as Thea, an employee who lies about being pregnant to avoid termination. (ABC Family loves a good pregnancy storyline.) Be sure to also keep out an eye out for Kevin Covais. The American Idol 5 contestant plays Greg, one of Thea’s coworkers.

Lindsay Lohan Let Go Early from Ugly Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Rumors,
Just when I thought she was about to reboot her career…
Although she was previously scheduled to appear in six episodes (one last year, five this season), Lindsay Lohan’s run on Ugly Betty has just been cut short. The Mean Girls actress will now only be seen in only four. Why the change of plans? Well, the answer depends on who you ask.
According to New York Post sources, Lohan’s exit was either related to the star’s behavior or America Ferrera‘s treatment of her. A supposed friend of Linds claims the show’s lead treated the redhead badly. “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.”
Meanwhile, a tipster from the actual production crew said the dismissal was purely based on the short timer’s actions. “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.” That same source claimed Lohan would also refuse to go on set before Ferrera did.

Nicole Richie to Guest Star on Chuck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, News,
After years of acting like a bratty socialite, Nicole Richie has finally decided to dabble in real comedic fare. (I mean - if Paris Hilton can attempt it, anyone can.)
Next fall, we’ll be seeing Richie in an episode of NBC’s Chuck. The new mom will play a “snarky and spiteful girl who tortured Sarah in school.” (That description is so Lohan on Ugly Betty.) The two cross paths again when Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) is forced to attend her high school reunion for a mission.
This job actually won’t be the first non-reality role for Nicole. The Simple Life star has also made appearances on American Dreams and 8 Simple Rules.

Lindsay Lohan Going Small Screen…for Good?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
Lindsay Lohan will soon make potential waves when she appears on Ugly Betty. In fact, TV could become a new career for this former party girl. As things stand, she doesn’t have a whole lot going on with her Hollywood career path.
Earlier Lohan news touted the actress’s involvement with Manson Girls, a much-anticipated flick about the serial killer, and Ye Old Times, a Jack Black comedy. The latest news reports, however, claim that Lohan is no longer involved with either project.
One report says Lohan was dropped from Girls when no other high-profile actress would work with her, but Lindsay’s people claim “scheduling conflicts” were the cause. Making a guest appearance on a sitcom takes a lot of time, people.
Lindsay Lohan will actually make an appearance in six episodes of Betty, which could lead to something more concrete in television. The lighthearted family fun of sitcoms may be just the thing to restore Lohan’s image in the public eye, and hopefully the rest of her career.

Ali Lohan’s New E! Series
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,
On a day when we should be honoring our country’s fallen soldiers, E! will be celebrating its latest contribution to the reality genre: Living Lohan.
This memorial day, Ali Lohan will show us how bad styling choices can quickly age a 14-year-old girl. We’ll also see why momma Dina so rightly deserved her recent “Top Mom” award.
In the following clip, we learn that Ali has lofty goals (“I aspire to be like my sister, Lindsay”), strong convictions (“I can’t sing a song I don’t believe in”) and the ability to learn from her sibling’s mistakes (“She’s taught me the things to do and not to do”).
Living Lohan premieres on May 26.

As we mentioned last week, film star Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to make several appearances on the small screen.
At the end of this month, Lohan will show up on Ugly Betty as a former evil classmate of Betty’s. In addition to the season finale, Lindsay will also turn up in five episodes next fall. Here are our first glimpses of Samantha Ronson’s gal pal in action.
By the way, May 22 will also be the day when we see British Airways’ biggest nightmare: Naomi Campbell.
