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."
