Lindsay Lohan was supposedly the model of a well-prepared actress on the set of ABC’s “Ugly Betty,” according to sources. Instead of reverting to her diva days of ditching rehearsals and blowing off shoots, Blohan actually reported to the set of the TV show early, and ready to work. That’s probably because this guest star gig the only decent acting work she can get, besides and unnamed movie co-starring Jack Black about dueling Renaissance Faire employees.

Gone are the days of being late to the set!

Lindsay Lohan – who began shooting her spot on ABC’s Ugly Betty on Saturday - continues to earn rave reviews from the show’s cast and crew.

“She was terrific - a pleasure,” Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta tells Usmagazine.com. “She came in early and was very pleasant.”

Lohan plays Kimberly, “a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with,” Horta says.

Lohan first appears on the May 22 season finale “in a flashback” dodge ball game, Horta says.

“Kimberly is doing the picking,” Horta says, “and it doesn’t turn out well for Betty.”

(She’s one of the last to be picked!)

Horta says Lohan will return for five episodes next season.

“They’re going to run into each other,” he says of the two characters. “Kimberly’s life has taken a turn for the worst.”

Hmmm. A character who was once super popular, but not a very nice person, who has fallen on some hard times- not too much of a stretch for our young rehab vet, is it? I’m sure Blohan is hoping that this guest stint will do for her career what Britney Spears’ appearance on “How I Met Your Mother” did. Trouble is, there is a lot more animosity and a lot less sympathy for Blohan’s self induced career tank than for Britney’s. And besides, does anyone even watch “Ugly Betty” anymore?

Once in a while, some celebrity comes up with some really great but really obvious idea. Okay rarely does that actually happen. But there certainly are a few exceptionally entrepreneurial celebs out there – and Sean “Puffy” Combs is one of the biggest. Puffy was on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the night, and said he’s starting a chauffeur service for drunken celebrities, to keep them off the road. It’s hard to tell if he’s joking or not – Kimmel seems to think he’s teasing, but Puffy seems to be talking seriously. He stole my idea, but whatever. If it keeps Lindsay Lohan off the streets, I’m fine with it.

As he mentioned in the clip, P-whatever-name-he’s-calling-himself got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and told people that he’s ready to make his way into acting.

“I think that it’s important for me to mature and evolve as an artist,” Combs tells PEOPLE at the From Harlem to Hollywood! ceremony honoring his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “I’m trying to get my Black Bruce Willis on.”

Despite being accustomed to A-list treatment, he’s looking forward to starting at the bottom of the acting totem pole. “I’m trying to get Michael Bay to shoot me, have a hot soundtrack,” Combs said, “But I also realize I have a lot of work to do as an actor and I gotta prove myself.”

I think “I’m trying to get my Black Bruce Willis on” is one of the single greatest quotes I’ve heard in months. Say what you want about the guy, he’s the personification of the entrepreneurial spirit. And pretty soon, he may be saving lives – and dozens of celebrities from jail time. Except for Screech. But I think we’re all okay with that.

I’ve been dying to see the new movie ‘21,’ which tells the story of some super-smart MIT math nerds who make big bucks counting cards in Las Vegas. I read the book it’s based on, “Bringing Down the House,” and the film stars one of my favorite new actors, Jim Sturgess, who was fantastic in “Across the Universe.” Now, Kate Bosworth, who co-stars in the film as Jim Sturgess’ love interest, reveals how they prepared to do a steamy love scene- they got hammered.

The 25-year-old actress cannot recall shooting her love scene with Jim Sturgess for 21, she told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s Cinema Society and Calvin Klein Jeans-sponsored screening of the film in Manhattan.

“We were both so drunk,” the Superman Returns star said. “Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it.”

Sturgess – who plays the lead in the shot-on-location casino flick, based on Ben Mezrich’s book, Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions – has similarly fuzzy recollections.

“We were on Grey Goose, I think,” said the British actor. “It was brilliant for about half and an hour. As we continued to drink … it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn’t stand up at one point.”

I always wondered how actors got through these loves scenes- now it makes perfect sense. From what I’ve read, shooting these kinds of scenes are no picnic- there you are, often buck naked with someone you barely know, while an entire film crew is standing around talking and telling you what to do. Then again, Jim Sturgess is adorable, and I know many women who’d happily brave all that discomfort for the chance to smooch him. If you haven’t seen him yet in “Across the Universe,” do yourself a favor and rent it.

This story nearly made me cry. As Broadway producers struggle to make their productions more relevant (read: profitable), hiring movie stars and B-list celebs to star in theatrical shows has become the big new trend. Monty Python’s Spamalot has used this trick with great effect, with such people as David Hyde Pierce, Sara Ramirez, and more recently, Clay Aiken. But now, I think Broadway is just going too far. Kevin Federline may take a role in the hit musical “Legally Blonde,” a musical version of the hit movie starring Reese Witherspoon.

Curtains for Kevin Federline!

A source says Britney Spears’ ex, 30, may be heading to NYC in September to make his Broadway debut in Legally Blonde, the Tony-nominated musical adaptation of the hit film, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

“He’s so excited!” a Federline source tells Us.

The former backup dancer and aspiring hip-hop artist — who is hitting the gym after packing on “daddy weight,” ex Shar Jackson says — will test his song-and-dance chops in a trio of roles — including the UPS guy who inspires the “bend and snap.”

“This is his chance to show the world what he can do,” says a pal.

And now that he has physical custody, sons Sean, 2, and Jayden, 18 months, might join him in the Big Apple.

“This is his dream and he wants to bring the kids,” says the insider. “Jamie and Lynne [Spears] promised to help him make it work.”

(A rep for the show says he is not scheduled “as of this time.”)

Federline may not be the only star hitting Broadway: New mom Nicole Richie has been approached to star in Chicago.

After seeing K-Fed douche up the small screen on “One Tree Hill,” I really hope this story is somebody’s idea of a sick joke. This guy has no business being on a Broadway stage– except maybe to sweep up after the show is over. As someone who is a self-professed theater geek, this is highly distressing. I’m sure there are hundreds of real, trained professional actors currently waiting tables in NYC who are very upset at this news.

Still, it’s nice that K-Fed is trying to get work that doesn’t involve rapping or beatboxing.

Britney’s pregnant 16-year-old little sister is slated to guest star on a new ABC comedy, “Miss Guided.” The show is executive produced by Ashton Kutcher and is centered on a young guidance counselor at a high school.

Jamie Lynn Spears is coming to primetime.

The pregnant Zoey 101 star will appear in an episode of the ABC comedy, Miss Guided, premiering March 20 (8 p.m. ET). Judy Greer stars in the sitcom, playing a formerly awkward high school student who returns to her alma mater all grown up — and as a guidance counselor. Spears will appear in the premiere episode, called “Hot Sub,” as Mandy Ferner, a troubled student who gets some exciting news from college, according to ABC.

The show will also feature another big guest star: Ashton Kutcher, who executive-produced the sitcom, will play the titular hot sub — a Spanish teacher and a possible romantic interest for Greer’s character.

As a midseason addition to the schedule, Miss Guided was filmed in October after Spears wrapped Zoey 101 — but before the young actress announced her pregnancy.

Sure, it was before Jamie Lynn announced the pregnancy- but she was definitely knocked up by then.

Since filming her spot on the show, Jamie Lynn has basically gone into seclusion, sources say at the order of her mother. She did pass her GED exam earlier this year and is said to be looking into college. It certainly appears that the teen is determined to keep her future viable even with a baby to raise. Of course, it could be due to those rumors that mom Lynne is the one who will actually be doing the baby-raising. I sure hope not.

Frightening news: Paris Hilton has an acting coach. And she’s not a new acting coach. Apparently Ivana Chubbuck is pretty well regarded too. Which leads to the next logical question… if this is Paris Hilton WITH an acting coach, what would she have been like without one? How does an acting coach correct for blatant vapidness? “Paris, instead of having flat affect and dead eyes, try raising your voice up and down and doing something crazy with that wonky eye you’ve got.” According to Paris, she’s learned a lot of acting tricks that the rest of us have never heard of.

“My acting coach, Ivana Chubbuck … She’s an incredible acting coach,” Hilton told PEOPLE at Monday’s premiere of her new romantic comedy, The Hottie and the Nottie, in Hollywood.

“If it’s a scene where I have to get upset, I’ll think of a past person,” the heiress, who turns 27 on Feb. 17, said recently of Chubbuck’s advice. “I’ll think of something in my life, use it in the scene, and it really works.”

[From People]

I’m pretty sure I learned the same damn thing from my mentally deranged seventh grade drama teacher. I’d really like to know how much Paris is paying this woman, because I’m pretty sure I could do the same for a lot less. I’m guessing that it’s not that Ivana Chubbuck is a bad acting coach at all. She probably assessed Paris and in about thirty seconds realized she could only teach her preschool level skills. Paris also said her mother gave her some acting advice, which I found pretty confusing. But it turns out Kathy Hilton used to be an actress. She was on two episodes of “Happy Days” in 1977 and an episode of “The Rockford Files” in 1978. How cute that Paris would think it a good idea to defer to her mother’s expertise. Which was, by the way, “…Taking your time, reading it, and making sure that it’s something you can do, and it’s fun. Just having fun with it.” Actually, that “taking your time reading” and “making sure it’s something you can do” is actually really good advice, considering how stupid her daughter is. And to prove that, I leave you with this completely un-edited, non-typo quote from Paris.

“Actors are really great if they’ve lived the life of a lot of things happen to them.”

You know what else is really great? Speaking in more than one tense in the same sentence.
