BEIJING, May 5 -- American actress Lindsay Lohan is all set to get ugly for her guest role in Ugly Betty's third season finale on May 22.

Lohan follows in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham and Naomi Campbell, who have made appearances on the hit U.S. show.

However unlike the two, whose roles were only for one time, Lohan will be returning for an extended stint in its fourth series, the Sun reported.

There are also rumors that Ugly Betty bosses are currently in talks with Lohan to bring her back for eight episodes, as revealed by US sources.

Her character is still in the works and has not been finalized as yet, but the original idea was to have her play a hapless fast food worker that Betty befriends.
