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!

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

Vanessa Williams spoke up, after the news of Lindsay’s shortened Ugly Betty arc and the gossip that she was inappropriate on set. Vanessa Williams has nothing but good things to say about Lindsay.

“She was a hard worker, she showed up on time and [in] the scenes I had with her, she was completely prepared,” Vanessa tells ET. “She was great with me.”

Fellow b5 writer Tom also asks - was this all a publicity stunt? Did the episode last night seem too much like what’s going on in the news?

Regardless of whether it was a publicity stunt or not, things are a little rock for Lindsay on the acting front. She has not been pushing out the roles as much as in the past, and one insider says Lindsay is not currently shortlisted for new acting roles right now.

The issue, they say, is not whether or not Lindsay will show up to set or not. It’s that she’s not drawing people to movies any longer. Which I think is just crap - the huge following Lindsay has should be proof that she’s a draw still. And that the success of films like I Know Who Killed Me did much better with her attached to them than they would have otherwise.

Another insider says:

“Every project she’s had has fallen through. She’s not even filling up her time with independent films, which is usually the strategy when work gets slow. She’s a good actress, she’s just stuck right now.”

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:
