Lindsay Lohan pulls a Katherine Heigl.
Lindsay Lohan is following in the footsteps of Katherine Heigl by pulling her name from consideration for this year’s Emmy Awards.
Lohan, who made a guest appearance on the season finale of Ugly Betty in May, bowed out in hopes of increasing her chances next year, when she’s scheduled to appear in five episodes as a down-on-luck high school pal of Betty’s.
“The appearance was brief,” a rep for the actress told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday. “We made a decision to wait.”
Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta raved about Lohan to Usmagazine.com in May.
“She was terrific – a pleasure,” Horta said. “She came in early and was very pleasant.”
Lohan is currently shooting the comedy Labor Pains, in which she plays an assistant who pretends to be pregnant in a desperate attempt to keep her nasty boss from firing her.
“We had a table reading just the other day, and she was great,” co-star Creed Bratton told Us. “She was very charming.”

I feel bad that Katherine is getting so much flak for pulling herself from the process. I don’t think she should be condemned for doing what she feels is right. And good for Linds for doing the same.
I’m sure there are many talented actresses in the “pool” who now have a better chance of being recognized.
