Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are rumoured to be in talks to star in a sitcom together.

US TV network HBO, which brought us Sex and the City, are reportedly keen to sign up the blonde trio to appear as flatmates struggling to make it big in Hollywood.

Hilton, Spears and Lohan were once close friends and were regulalry seen together on the party circuit in 2006.

The proposed show has been described as a cross between Friends and Ugly Betty.

“The chemistry between them will be electric,” a source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.

“They were very close and have had their ups and downs in the Los Angeles party world but they have overcome those problems now. They can draw from their experiences for the sitcom.”

Show chiefs are said to have approached Extras star Ricky Gervais and Desperate Housewives creator Mark Cherry to pen the script, which would see the trio playing characters inspired by themselves.

“Paris will play a fashion designer who will try anything to get her outfits noticed,” the source said.

“Britney’s character is an aspiring singer, but her unusual song lyrics stop her from hitting the big time.

“Lindsay will be a little like Joey from Friends.”

Michael Lohan has apologized for calling Lindsay’s girlfriend Sam Ronson “a drug” earlier this summer.

“I definitely regret all the things I said about Samantha,” Michael told New York magazine at a book party Oct. 21.

“I’m a Christian,” he added. “I should not pass judgment on anyone.”

In September, Michael went off on Ronson, calling her a “dark, hideous and a disgusting representation of humanity.” Lindsay snapped back, calling her dad a “coward” on her MySpace celebrity blog.

Michael says he’s now learned not use the media to reach out to his daughter.

“In the past, I felt that the best way to get to her was to speak out publicly,” Michael said. “And it was the wrong choice.”

Michael says he’s in contact with Lindsay these days, and recently spent four days with his college-aged son, Michael.

As for providing more details on Lindsay’s life, Michael is keeping mum.

“Family matters should be kept private,” he said. “I’ve learned that now.”

From Kristin at E!:

It’s true. Sources close to ABC’s Ugly Betty confirm to me that Lindsay Lohan has been cut from the show.

“They don’t plan to have her back for more episodes,” says a high-level insider.

According to my sources, the main driving force for this decision is that Lindsay was not gelling creatively with the series. “She was not so interested in creating a character,” another reliable insider close to Betty tells me. “She was more interested in just playing herself, and that doesn’t work on a show like this with such heightened reality.”

Update: I was originally told that Lindsay’s scenes were cut from what would have been her fifth and sixth episodes, but another source clarifies that everything Lindsay filmed will be aired. And, next week, her fourth appearance on the show, is all they ever wrote, shot and edited for Lindsay.

Now, what else supposedly went down on the set?

According to the New York Post, the hijinks that got Lohan cut loose may have included pantsing, dressing-room trashing and, gasp, scrapbooking.

According to the Post, the alleged America versus Lindsay pantsing incident happened during the shooting of tonight’s episode, “Granny Pants,” which was directed by Fred Savage. (Hmmm…could this be a case of a former child star with his s–t together directing a former child star without her s–t together? Bad combo?)

Apparently, the scene was supposed to involve Lindsay’s character, Kimmie, pantsing America Ferrera’s character, Betty, but when America turned the tables on Lindsay and yanked her pants down, she discovered, to her presumed dismay, that Lindsay was not wearing underwear.

An anonymous advocate for Lindsay quoted in the Post alleges the story can’t be true, because Lindsay “Firecrotch” Lohan totally wears underwear all the time now.

The aforementioned Lindsay advocate also states that if the secondary charge that Lindsay’s dressing-room was trashed is even true, it was definitely not her fault—and since that room is shared with the production crew for Fringe, it was probably those slobs who did it. (Uh-huh.)

And the scrapbooking? Well, according to the Post’s anonymous source, when Lindsay wasn’t smoking like a chimney or lounging around with her overly large entourage, she was compulsively cutting out photos of herself from tabloids. (Perhaps a worthy topic of discussion at a future Lindsay Lohan therapy session? Because if she really does that, it seems a little…emotionally unhealthy?)

Lindsay first appeared on the series in last season’s finale as Kimmie, a mean girl from Betty’s past. She popped up again in this season’s premiere, and her final two eps are this week and next.

The network and the studio are not expected to release an official comment.
