Lindsay Lohan headed to the Warner Brothers Studios this morning to appear on the Ellen Degeneres Show for her first interview since her very public break-up with Samantha Ronson.

Lindsay Lohan on Ellen, April 23, 2009

Ellen does a good job of diving right into the issue of Lindsay’s very public life in the media and how so much of what is said about Lindsay is untrue. Lindsay tries to be very honest about what is true and what is not, though you can tell she’s flustered. However, Lindsay gets right to the point:

“That whole night was just… was really tough. And I just, you know… it came out of nowhere. And, um, Samantha and I are friends, we’re talking.”

Ellen was surprised that Lindsay & Samantha are still friends, considering that break-ups are hard for anyone, not to mention how much worse it must be in the public eye. Lindsay says she had no idea they were breaking up and that she “had no idea what was going on.” Samantha had been gone for a week before the break-up, so Lindsay seems shocked by it.

Lindsay seems very open to talking about the break-up, though Ellen says she doesn’t have to. Lindsay warns that she may talk too much

So Ellen then dives into the rumors:

• Cheating - "I don’t believe in cheating", Lindsay says. She did not cheat on Samantha.
  • "I watched my father do that to my mother my entire life, so I really don’t…"
• Restraining Order - [Lindsay laughs]. "I have no idea. I mean, what am I going to do?" Lindsay has no idea why people would assume she’s dangerous and has done nothing but support Charlotte Ronson (which is true)
• US Magazine - Lindsay has not spoken with them (for this story), though they and all the other tabloids are calling everyone she knows.
• Career - Contrary to all the opinions out there, Lindsay is not having a hard time going to meetings or talking with people about projects
• Clubbing - Is it dangerous for her to be there (with the paparazzi)? Of course, the paparazzi will interpret that, but Lindsay insists that being at a club “doesn’t mean that I’m drinking” or cheating with anyone. She’s going to be with friends and enjoy music.

Lindsay Lohan sat down to talk with Access Hollywood about her new 6126 Holiday Collection leggings, and leggings in general, but also about politics. Lindsay has been vocal about wanting Barack Obama for president, but makes slip an un-PC reference to him in the interview above as a “colored President.” However, if you brush that aside, Lindsay has great things to say about getting youth out to vote and about Prop 8. Lindsay says she got “chills” during Obama’s speech.

Lindsay also talks in the interview about Ugly Betty, about women’s cancer research, and about why she loves doing movies (Lindsay say she feels “blessed” to be able to be in movies). The second part of the interview should air soon!

The following two videos are from this past weekend in Las Vegas, where Lindsay Lohan flew down for her 6126 Holiday Collection launch at Pure, a club inside Caesars Palace.

Lindsay joined Samantha in the DJ booth and danced to her own music, “Bossy“, as it was played. After models took the floor to show off the new 6126 styles, Lindsay reportedly took time to thank her guests for coming (proceeds supported Ovarian Cancer Research). Lindsay & Sam stayed to 2am, well after the show and their duties were done. They lounged on the VIP bed in the club - photos here! Read more

Lindsay Lohan made her final appearance on Ugly Betty last night in an episode entitled “Ugly Berry”.

In the episode, it’s war between Betty (America Ferrera) and Kimmie (Lindsay Lohan). And Kimmie is definitely a bi-atch in the episode! She really rubs Betty’s nose in the fact that she was promoted to editor, while Betty is still an assistant. However, Betty rises to the challenge and comes up with a huge idea for a photoshoot with Adriana Lima for some berries, which Kimmie is angry to hear about.

Kimmie definitely takes the “war” seriously, going so far as to sabotage Kimmie’s big break interview. And to steal all the credit for herself. Betty is furious.

This Thursday, Lindsay Lohan will reprise her role as Kimmie Keegan for the last time on Ugly Betty. Although originally scheduled to appear in five episodes this season, this will be her third and last appearance.

In this episode, entitled “Ugly Berry,” it’s war between Betty (America Ferrera) and Kimmie (Lindsay Lohan). Marc and Mandy work with Betty to set up Kimmie to take a big fall. Drama which, according to Betty’s Becki Newton, may have confusedly made its way to the tabloids:

“I think it’s hysterical,” she says of the feud between Lohan and Ferrerra. “It’s like right out of a script for Ugly Betty.”

Becki Newton insists everyone on set was in support of Lindsay, and all had a great time working with her. They say the Kimmie storyline will end exactly they way it originally would (so perhaps the storyline was originally over-estimated?).

Amidst all the crazy press coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s shortened stay on Ugly Betty, it can’t be forgotten that Lindsay appeared on the show last night. In the episode, entitled “Granny Pants“, Kimmie (Lindsay Lohan) begs Betty (America Ferrera) to help her get a job at Mode. The episode is entitled “Granny Pants” after an incident between Kimmie and Betty in high school… Kimmie became popular by de-pantsing Betty, who suffered the rest of her high school years because of this.

Christina advises Betty to exact her revenge on Kimmie. Betty feels good about this until her father, Ignacio, reminds Betty how it feels to be alone at Mode. Kimmie is making quite a mess of things on her own when Betty decides to help her out, turning her into a perfect assistant. Read more

E!’s Kristen is reporting that Lindsay Lohan has been cut from Ugly Betty! Oh no!! Lindsay Lohan’s rep has confirmed the story, so it is true.

Lindsay Lohan was scheduled to appear in a total of five episodes this season (6 overall including last season) for a complete guest arc this season in Ugly Betty. However, sources are now indicating that Lindsay Lohan will not be back for additional episodes, and what’s worse, won’t have her full arc aired! She will still be in tonight’s episode, though, and one more after that.

“They don’t plan to have her back for more episodes,” says a high-level insider. “And they are cutting her out of the episodes they have already shot.”

Another insider claims that Lindsay was not “gelling creatively” with the series, that she was not interesting in creating a dynamic character out of Kimmie. They say that Kimmie ended up being too much like Lindsay, instead of a character of her own. Ugly Betty is a show with “heightened reality,” and they say that Lindsay’s Kimmie didn’t fit in.

According tot he New York Post, who confirm the story, there were a lot of issues on set that led to this decision (this is despite all the good things people were saying before!)

The NY Post insider says that Lindsay was continually late on set, smoked a lot, and made a mess of her dressing room. They say she was obsessed with tabloids (which sounds very false) and that she wouldn’t appear on set unless America Ferrera had shown up as well.

Apparently, in the episode to air tonight, there’s a scene where Lindsay’s Kimmie had to de-pants America’s Betty. And as a fun revenge, America did the same to Lindsay… except Lindsay wasn’t wearing underwear. Lindsay’s friends have stepped up to say this is all crap - that Lindsay was wearing a G-string and the trick was so cruel that Lindsay cried after. Read more

Lindsay Lohan returns to Ugly Betty this Thursday as Kimmie Keegan, now working with Betty at Mode! After some begging, that is! Well, if we thought the high school rivalry was over, we may think otherwise in this episode, entitled “Granny Pants.” So, will Betty sabotage Kimmie’s chances with Wilhelmina, or will she do that on her own? The third video clip below should tell you that!

In the episode, Betty makes a decision to get an apartment on her own, but it’s not quite what she expected. Ignacio, Betty’s father, picks up a new job at a fast food joint - the one where Lindsay Lohan’s character Kimmie works! Kimmi is Ignacio’s boss, but she’s intimidated by Betty and how much better Betty’s life has turned out. There’s a food fight, as we know, but it looks like there could be hope for Betty & Kimmie as friends. Check out the full recap here.

Here’s the food fight segment from the episode:
