LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Lindsay Lohan has joined the ranks of “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Katherine Heigl, pulling her name from consideration for an Emmy Award.

The “Mean Girls” star, who made a guest appearance on “Ugly Betty,” as a high school classmate of Betty’s, will wait to be considered for her guest star role, until possibly next year when Lindsay returns to the ABC series, The Los Angeles Times reports.

“The appearance was brief,” a rep for the actress told the paper. “We made a decision to wait.”

A role that will be far from brief is Lindsay’s lead in the film “Labor Pains,” which is reportedly going well for the actress and producers.

“We were a little bit reluctant to work with her,” Lati Grobman, one of the producers of the film told People. “But she’s been amazing.”

Despite reported previous on-set dramas, the producers told the mag Lindsay makes up for any past mistakes with her acting skills.

“The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she’s actually talented,” the “Labor Pains’ producer said. “It’s not [like] Paris Hilton and the rest of them. We took the chance. It’s good that we did. So far, so good.”
