Lock up the liquor - and hide that cute Eric Mabius, too. (Can't be too careful.) Hopefully reformed party animal Lindsay Lohan is in talks to join Ugly Betty for three episodes, playing a former high-school classmate of Betty's who manages the fast-food joint where our heroine's pop punches the clock, sources tell the New York Observer. Natch, good-hearted Betty will try to give LiLo a leg up with a gig at "Mode."

When TVGuide.com asked ABC about the buzz, they issued a firm "No comment," which to my thinking is the next best thing to a "Yes, it's true! Isn't this exciting?!" - Ben Katner
