Oh dear: Lindsay Lohan's Ugly Betty episodes were cut from six to four. A source says: "It was a mess. Lindsay would show up every day with an entourage of people. She smoked 24/7, and after she left, they had to repaint her dressing room it was such a mess." Plus! in a scene where Betty is supposed to pull down Lindsay's pants, America Fererra did and LL wasn't wearing underwear. But! A different source says "America was mean to Lindsay. Producers give her too much power. Lindsay didn't do the last two episodes because America didn't like her and got her kicked off." Drama! [Page Six]

Beyoncé would like for you to call her Sasha Fierce. Her new double album will be called I Am… Sasha Fierce. She explains: "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am. Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage." It's call compartmentalization. Look into it. [Reuters]

Latest obsession: Norwegian singer Annie's new single "I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me." Annie's brand of hip-switchin', gum-snappin', tit-perkin' dance-y pop music is so infectious and fun, and makes her—as Tyra Banks would put it—the kind of girl other girls want to be and that guys want to be with. Her second album, Don't Stop, comes out this September. More »

Gillian Anderson is with child! This will be her second child with boyfriend Mark Griffiths and her third in total. Because getting married before having children is so pre-Milennial! • Sarah Jessica Parker has been famous pretty much her entire life, and a new book out by Annie songwriter Charles Strouse talks about wee SJP and her innate talent. Apparently everyone involved in Annie except for Strouse thought Parker was "'too sad looking' and 'too dark' to score" as the adorably orphaned moppet. • Despite the star power of Mario Lopez, the Chorus Line revival has its last Broadway performance on August 17th. Where is that saving bell when you need it? [People, Village Voice, SOW via Dlisted] More »
