LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Kristen Johnston is to take over a recurring role for which Paula Abdul was originally considered on the U.S. comedy series "Ugly Betty," Usmagazine.com said.

Johnston is best known for her work on TV's "3rd Rock from the Sun" and "ER," as well as the films "Music & Lyrics" and "Bride Wars."
Usmagazine.com said Johnston will begin playing quirky office temp Helen in "Ugly Betty's" Oct. 9 Season 4 premiere.

"I've always considered myself a poor man's Paula Abdul," Johnston told EW.
