Looks like Lindsay Lohan is jumping on the TV guest appearance bandwagon.It turns out that the actress is in advanced discussions to guest-star in Ugly Betty’s May 22 season finale, which is currently in production.But that is not the best part!Far from it! The big news is that Betty producers are currently talking to La Lohan’s camp about bringing her back next season for an extended guest spot– we’re talking eight episodes here, people!This is great news for Lohan, seeing that her career really hasn’t been going in the best of directions lately. It would be modest to say she is a bit eager for a comeback of sorts.  So this picture may be more accurate than we think…If Lohan joins the cast, this is what Ugly Betty would look like.This idea definitely spurs from CBS and How I Met Your Mother’s rating boost from having Britney Spears guest star. I’m sure ABC exec’s are hoping Lohan can perform the same magic for Betty, which, despite bringing out it’s creative big guns, has seen its viewership tumble by double digits.Ugly Betty’s numbers have dropped double digits post-Writer’s Strike, according to TV Guide.

Specifics on Lohan’s character are still being finalized, but the original idea was to have her play a hapless fast-food worker that Betty befriends. Not sure if that would still be the plan. I don’t think Lohan would go for that.

I don’t know if a lot of Betty fans are keen on the idea of Lohan coming on the show, especially if it is for an extended stay. But I would take what I can get and hope that this boosts the ratings! And who knows, she might even turn out to be just as good as Britney!
