In May 2008, Lohan made her first screen appearance since "I Know Who Killed Me", on ABC's television series "Ugly Betty". She guest starred in four episodes as Kimmie Keegan, an old schoolmate of the protagonist Betty Suarez. In the comedy "Labor Pains", Lohan plays a woman who pretends to be pregnant. During the shoot, Lohan's manager worked with the paparazzi to encourage the media to show her work, as opposed to partying. It was originally planned for a theatrical release, but instead appeared as a TV movie on the ABC Family cable channel in July 2009, "a setback for the star" according to "Variety". The premiere received 2.1 million viewers, "better-than-average" for the channel according to E! Online. Alessandra Stanley of "The New York Times" wrote that "this is not a triumphant return of a prodigal child star. ... ["Labor Pains"] never shakes free of the heavy baggage Ms. Lohan brings to the role." Lohan was a guest judge on US TV style contest "Project Runway" sixth-season premiere episode, which aired in August 2009.
