LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Details On Lindsay’s ‘Betty’ Appearance: It appears Lindsay Lohan’s training on her 2004 movie, “Mean Girls,” could help out in her upcoming role on “Ugly Betty.” Lindsay plays, “a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with,” series creator Silvio Horta told Us Weekly. Lohan will make her debut “in a flashback” dodge ball game, where she doesn’t pick Betty. As for what it was like to work with Lindsay, who has been known for past on-set antics, “She was terrific - a pleasure,” Horta told the mag. “She came in early and was very pleasant.”

Dina Lohan Dubbed ‘Top Mom’: Despite the aforementioned Lohan visiting rehab multiple times last year and being jailed for drunken driving, Dina Lohan will be named “Top Mom” by a Long Island-based charity, Mingling Moms Organization, PageSix reports. The organization’s president told the paper Dina was “such a dedicated mom. Through all the ups and downs of Lindsay, she has been by her side.” Well, Lindsay is going on “Ugly Betty,” so that must deserve some sort of award!

Nina’s Bumpy ‘Betty’: Speaking of awards, Nina Garcia should not expect one for her acting stint on last week’s “Ugly Betty.” A source close to the show told E!‘s Marc Malkin that the former Elle magazine editor flubbed her lines of dialogue over and over again. “It took, like, hours,” the source said. “They had to keep doing take after take after take. And it was for, like, the smallest bit!” We can only imagine the scowl on Tim Gunn’s face…someone didn’t make it work fast enough.

Don’t Upset Elle Magazine: The “Project Runway” drama continues! First the show jumps networks from Bravo to Lifetime, now it appears Elle magazine could be the next to be auf’d! Sources close to the hit show told Women’s Wear Daily that rival fashion mag Marie Claire has expressed an interested in taking part in the show when Elle’s contract expires after season five. But don’t expect any details from those involved. A rep for Marie Claire told WWD, “We think ‘Project Runway’ is a fantastic show, but to speculate at this point beyond season five would be, as [season four winner] Christian Siriano says, ‘A hot mess!’”

Audrina Patridge… Movie Star?: And in potential cinematic hot mess news, don’ t expect “Hills” star Audrina to waste her life away shopping, eating sushi and listening to LC whine about her latest man drama – no way… instead, she’s headed to the big screen, E! Online reports. “We only just started working with her, but are already in talks for a feature film,” Audrina’s new rep told E!. “She wants to do other things besides stay in that reality space. We are going to be getting her some television roles outside of ‘The Hills,’ if they allow it. A lot of it is going to depend on what ‘The Hills’ will be signing off on.” No word on what show Audrina might end up on, but we certainly wouldn’t mind seeing her claw it up over on “Gossip Girl.”
