Lindsay Lohan New Movie "Labor Pains" Not Good Enough For Big Screen Debut!

Posted on 27. Mar, 2009 by CSS.

Lindsay Lohan’s next movie is headed to the only place worse than straight-to-DVD. Straight-to-cable.

Fans waiting to see Lindsay Lohan’s next feature won’t even have to leave the sofa. The struggling actress’ new film, Labor Pains, will not be released in theaters, according to a new report. Instead, the comedy will premiere on ABC Family in July, Nu Image/Millennium Films confirmed on Wednesday. The premiere will be followed by a DVD release in August.

In the movie, which was shot in Los Angeles last summer, Lindsay plays a young secretary who fakes being pregnant to save herself from the employment line.

(Maybe she could try that in real life?)

Millennium Films does expect Labor Pains to open in theaters internationally, although no release date is available at this time.

'Ugly Betty' Pulled From ABC Lineup….

Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by CSS.

Betty’s been benched!

ABC has just announced that it will place award-winning dramedy Ugly Betty on hiatus-indefinitely-beginning March 26.

New episodes of Samantha Who? and Megan Mullally and Cheryl Hines’ freshmen comedy In the Motherhood will replace Betty, an offbeat comedy about an aspiring writer and her daily struggles to survive Manhattan’s cutthroat fashion world, in the network’s Thursday night lineup.

“Ugly Betty will return to Thursday nights at 8 p.m. following the run of In the Motherhood and Samantha Who?,” the network said in a statement released to Entertainment Weekly on Monday.

“The Thursday night block is a good opportunity to launch these comedies,” an ABC spokesman says. “Betty is a solid performer and there is no question that it will definitely be back to complete its season, just without repeats.”

ABC has not announced when Ugly Betty will return to the air.

Here is what one of the stars of ‘Ugly Betty’ Michael Urie has to say for all us fans:

BETTY’S NOT CANCELED

come on, really? Here are the facts:

We are going to finish shooting our original 3rd season order – 24
episodes (currently on 16).

At the end of March, we’re going off the air for a while, at a time
when we would normally be on for a few weeks, off for a few,
confusing and angering fans with repeats.

In June, we come back, and finish the last 6 episodes of the season
without interruption!

This has been done with lots of ABC shows over time, like LOST and
Desperate Housewives. We’ve got great real estate on Thursday nights
at 8pm, and the network wants to share it with other shows! It makes
sense.

Doesn’t mean the end of Betty.

keep watching!!!! In fact, go buy some episodes on iTunes for fun!
