Ugly Betty actress America Ferrera has hit out at teen shows Gossip Girl, 90210 and The Hills, accusing them of turning young women against each other.


"Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows," observes America Ferrera in an interview with Seventeen. "Like, if you're watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act ? you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other."

Adds Ferrera, 24: "I mean, I love Blake Lively, she's a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean."

As far as the Academy is concerned, Christina Applegate is right up there with America Ferrera. And so is Sarah Silverman, give or take a little polarizing ethnic humor.

"The Insider" has the latest... Lindsay Lohan has taken herself out of Emmy contention for a guest appearance on "Ugly Betty" this year but will submit her name next season when she will appear in more episodes of the ABC show, the L.A. Times reports.  Lohan's rep Leslie Sloane tells the Times the actress did not submit her name in the guest star category because her appearance was very brief. "We made a decision to wait," Sloane said. Lohan's "Ugly Betty" appearance last month consisted of just four lines in a scene that lasted less than a minute as her character invited Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) to play dodge ball on her team.   The decision comes after Katherine Heigl announced last week that she was removing herself from Emmy contention for "Grey's Anatomy" because she felt she was not given material worthy of Emmy consideration.
