Ugly Betty to shoot an episode in The Bahamas in October

The show(ugly betty) is heading to the Bahamas next month to shoot an episode on location at the Atlantis Resort and Casino, EW’s Ausiello reports.

Most of the cast is going (wouldn’t you HATE the be one of the cast NOT going?). The episode they are filming will air in November and revolve around a big Mode photo shoot.
Ausiello’s source says, “Location shoots can make or break you as an editor, so it’s a big deal for Betty. There’s also some drama with a certain love triangle.”

The triangle involves Betty, Matt and an unnamed third party. I’m going to refrain from commenting on this for now, till we find out more. If it’s a one-time thing played for comedy, great. If the producers are actually introducing a new multi-episode, sappy and drawn out Betty love triangle, they are going to the well one too many times, and might do fatal damage to the show just when it seems to really be hitting a Friday night stride.

There is one possibility to consider, though. Perhaps it is Matt who has two suitors. Maybe even Amanda is after him? There’s something about the way Ausiello worded the spoiler that makes me think it’s another woman.

You know, television shows, back in the day, used to do this sort of thing all the time. The infamous Happy Days “jumping the shark” episode involved a beach trip for the Milwaukee-based show. I also remember a Hawaii trip on Sanford and Son.

Yaya Dacosta to Join ABC's 'UGLY BETTY'

Stage and screen actress, as well as runner-up in Cycle 3 of America's Next Top Model, Yaya DaCosta, will take over the recurring role of Wilhelmina's defiant daughter Nico on ABC's 'Ugly Betty' this season.

Nico first appeared on in season two of Ugly Betty and was played by Jowharah Jones

'Ugly Betty' is a Golden Globe and Emmy winning comedy starring America Ferrera in the title role, along with Eric Mabius, Judith Light, Rebecca Romijn and Vanessa Williams. The series premiered on September 28, 2006, on ABC in the US, and follows the adventures of the unglamorous and good-natured Betty Suarez (Ferrera), and her incongruous job at the ultra-chic New York City fashion magazine Mode.

'Ugly Betty' returns for its fourth season on October 9, 2009 and will air on Friday nights at 9pm.

Yaya DaCosta is a formidable young actress who is making her mark in film with stand out performances in Take the Lead with Antonio Banderas and Honeydripper where she co-starred along with Danny Glover and Charles S. Dutton. On television she was last seen in a breakout performance in the Lifetime Network motion picture Racing for Time, as well as a recent featured role on All My Children. Fans of America's Next Top Model will remember her as a favorite contestant in the popular series third season. And while she has graced the pages of many top fashion magazines, her real passion has always been acting. She knew from the age of 11 that it was her true calling, and was soon doing plays and educational films in her hometown of New York City not long after starting her journey as an actor. Yaya studied dance at The Harlem School of The Arts and The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, and spent junior high school at the magnet performing arts school Manhattan East Jr. High School. She is graduate oF Brown University.

In the Signature Theatre Company's acclaimed recent production of Leslie Lee's drama, The First Breeze Of Summer, Miss DaCosta essayed the pivotal role of 'Lucretia', a lively and free-willed woman who's latter-day incarnation, played by Leslie Uggams, revealed the complicated choices her younger self had to ultimately make to keep her family together.

UGLY BETTY Season 4 Premiere

Check out a first look of the two hour UGLY BETTY Season 4 premiere episode airing Friday October 9 at 8:00 p.m on ABC. The episode is titled "The Butterfly Effect" (Part 1 and 2)

Episode Synopsis: UGLY BETTY Season 4 Premiere - Ugly Betty" returns for a fourth season with a two-hour season premiere, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. In the first hour, "The Butterfly Effect" Part 1 (8:00-9:00 p.m.), Betty finds that everything is changing as she begins her new job as associate features editor, especially since her boss is her ex-boyfriend, Matt Hartley, who is still unhappy about their breakup. In addition, Betty's new officemate, Megan (Smith Cho), openly resents her, while Marc is constantly undermining her because he felt he was more deserving of the promotion. Meanwhile, without Betty as his assistant, Daniel is adrift, still mourning the loss of his wife, Molly. Betty tries to help Megan out on an assignment and connects with a thoughtful insect jewelry designer, Olivia (Lynn Redgrave), while Justin starts high school and is victimized by bullies-but won't tell his mom, Hilda. Claire Meade is finding that her power struggle at the company has her sitting pretty - for the moment -- opposite Wilhemina, who lost her claim to the Meade throne last season. But Wili has perhaps an even bigger problem than job security - she is harboring a secret at home that is driving Marc to distraction.

In "The Butterfly Effect," Part 2 (9:00-10:00 p.m.), Betty gets to run her own Mode photo shoot at the United Nations to promote their anti-malaria initiative, "Nothing but Nets," but her big opportunity becomes a baptism by fire when Daniel's neediness takes its toll, and Matt openly demoralizes her. Meanwhile, Amanda does some soul-searching when she bonds with Daniel's new temp, Helen (Kristen Johnston), a career receptionist as fabulous as Amanda is. Wili makes it her personal mission to protect a loved one, and Hilda reaches out to Marc to figure out how to help Justin.

Ugly Betty's Vanessa Williams

Actress and songstress Vanessa Williams made history as the first African-American Miss America — who then launched a successful music and acting career after her reign ended in scandal.

As the devious Wilhelmina Slater on the small-screen hit, “Ugly Betty,” Vanessa plays the classic vixen we love to hate.

In addition to preparing for the upcoming season of “Ugly Betty” and preparing for Back to School season with her four children, Vanessa has been busy working with Dress for Success, an organization that helps disadvantaged women succeed in the workforce, and educates them about quick and simple beauty tips for the workplace.

Ugly Betty's 'Mode After Hours' Series Coming Back

We have all heard the saying “when the cat is away, the mice will play.” In this particular case, it’s the Executive Assistant and the Receptionist at a high-end fashion magazine that are the ones doing the playing.

Mode After Hours is a spin-off webseries that follows two characters from the popular ABC dramedy series Ugly Betty and their office antics when the rest of the staff has gone home. Marc St. James (Michael Urie) and Amanda Tanen (Becki Newton) are “besties forever” and their frantic and odd devotion to each other is topped only by their disturbing obsession with themselves. From Amanda’s “Me Pile” (packages delivered to the office that mysteriously end up “lost in the mail” only to be opened by Amanda when she’s feeling down) to Marc’s pretending he is babysitting a newborn just so he can stalk Jake Gyllenhaal, these two are dysfunctional with a capital func. But whether you identify with them in a “hey, I know people like that” way or just thank the heavens you aren’t anything like them, there is something about Amanda and Marc’s relationship that keeps you watching. Kind of like how you slow down to watch a car on fire on the side of the road.

According to a behind the scenes episode on ABC.com, “the idea for the webisodes came out of the idea that we always want to give our fans more content”, stated Lisa Schomas, Co-Producer for Ugly Betty. Beginning in September of ‘08 for six episodes and then returning in March of ‘09 for six more episodes, the show kept fans satisfied while waiting for season 3 of Ugly Betty to begin.

But it’s not totally necessary to have watched Ugly Betty to enjoy Mode After Hours. Besides some peripheral references to characters and plots in the show, the webisodes are pure Marc and Amanda and the actors playing them are more than adept at holding your attention. The inter-splicing of security camera footage with traditional third-person shooting establishes the concept simply and effectively.

'Ugly Betty' Star Ana Ortiz Hoping for Another Baby

She may be playing a lovelorn single mother on ABC's Ugly Betty, but there's plenty of support for actress Ana Ortiz's wishes to keep having babies. The 38-year-old star of the hit television series welcomed her first child Paloma just two months ago. Now, however, she's excited to have another one.

Ana Ortiz told OK! Magazine that she wants her daughter to have some company as soon as possible. During the Fashion Secrets of the South gift lounge held at NYC's Double Tree Metropolitan Hotel, she brought her kid in a stroller and discussed her plans.

"The sooner the better," Ortiz, who plays Hilda Suarez on Ugly Betty, announced. "We're definitely looking forward to having a playmate for her."

Even though she can't wait for another baby, the actress is still relishing in the special milestones of Paloma's life. "She just started smiling," Ana Ortiz exclaimed. "That's her latest thing - smiling. It's always in the morning, and it's like she's trying to laugh. It's almost like she's coughing - like a cat coughing up a hairball. It's so cute."

While her romantic relationships on Ugly Betty have been unsuccessful, her real life is far from it. She wed Noah Lebenzon in 2007 and their bond has just gotten stronger with Paloma around. Perhaps Hilda can learn a few things from her.

"It's incredible," she said. "It's so much deeper. Before, you're together, but there's never that sense of 'til death do you part, right? When she came along, I was like 'oh yeah, now I get 'til death do you part.' We are together forever. There's no one I respect more as a man and as a dad. He's surpassing my dreams. I'm really lucky."

She's also getting plenty of encouragement from her Ugly Betty co-stars, particularly Mark Indelicato. He plays her son in the show, and it's easy to see why these two stick to one another like glue.

"Mark and I are inseparable," Ortiz explained. She even said how his mom has become Paloma's fairy godmother. As for the actor, he said, "It's so great to see Ana be so happy with the baby." Maybe all that happiness will spread to season four? A bundle of joy might not work with the storylines, but it'd be quite a delightful change for Hilda if possible.

Ugly Betty hit by the recession

We hadn’t quite realised that the Ugly Betty wardrobe department had an unlimited budget but, apparently, it did – in the days of boom, that was. Now we’re in a recession, Wilhelmina Slater’s fashion choices have been slashed. ‘With the economic situation what it is, we scaled down in terms of the type of clothing that we’re getting,’ said the actress who plays her, Vanessa Williams. ‘There was a Naeem Khan dress that went for £1,500 and they watched it and watched and by the time we got it,it was, like, £450. So we are being mindful of the budget and waiting for markdowns on Ugly Betty.’

Wonder what sometime Ugly Betty stylist Patricia Field – and infamous recession-fashion hater – would have to say about that? Still, Williams has worn Rachel Roy, Giambattista Valli, Dolce & Gabbana and vintage Thierry Mugler, so it doesn’t sounds like they’re in completely dire straits yet.

Rebecca Romijn To Appear On Project Runway

Tune into Project Runway tonight to see two of our favorite model moms share their fashion expertise.

Rebecca Romijn, who welcomed twins Charlie and Dolly with her husband Jerry O'Connell last December, will be appearing as a guest judge on the hit show. The Ugly Betty star will join a panel which includes Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and, of course, host Heidi Klum.

Heidi, who is expecting baby #4 with her husband Seal this fall, recently dished on her maternity style:
My stylist tries to find things that are not maternity clothes, so I've been wearing a lot from The Row, by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I love their clothes. Marc Jacobs too. You just buy things in a size 10 - when you're doing a show on fashion, you still have to bring it on."

America Ferrera Is a Giant Hotdog on 'Ugly Betty'

Entering its fourth season, "Ugly Betty" is still nowhere near pretty. America Ferrera was spotted filming an outdoor scene on Tuesday, August 25 with a giant hotdog as her costume. She was accompanied on the lower Manhattan set by Michael Urie who became the hotdog bun.

Daily Mail reported that the costume was uncomfortable enough to cause Ferrera pulling angry faces during the filming. Furthermore, due to the complication of the outfit, the actress asked her assistant to feed her banana during the break between scenes.

After nearly being canceled, "Ugly Betty" is to premiere on October 9. Paula Abdul has retracted from being a guest star reportedly due to some demands which are not met. She is replaced by Kristen Johnston who will tackle the role of an office temp named Helen. "[Helen is] Amanda in 10 years," Johnston said, comparing it to Becki Newton's character. "She's still trying to get into the right clubs, wearing tight dresses... tragic."

Being a show that embraces Latino cultures, "Ugly Betty" is nominated for several categories at the upcoming ALMA Awards. Cast America Ferrera, Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato and Tony Plana as well as producers Salma Hayek and Silvio Horta are among the honorees of Year in Television categories.

Paula Abdul Doesn't Get Ugly Betty Role Due To Demands

Paula Abdul, recently fired by American Idol as a celebrity judge, will not be joining the cast of Ugly Betty like she wanted to. Producers of the hit comedy show said that Abdul's demands removed her from consideration for the part.

An assistant producer said that; "First, Paula wanted us to give her a private jet with a pilot. She also demanded that the pilot be in his early twenties and either black or hispanic with a, in her words, tight little butt."

"Next, she wanted up to change the name of our show from Ugly Betty to Pretty Paula and make her the feature character."

"Third, she wanted not only a private trailer, which is pretty standard, but she also wanted a second private trailer that was a fully stocked bar with a nightclub type dance floor and a disco ball."

A representative of Abdul's agency said that Paula is now in negotiations to join several other shows. The possibilities include:

Joining the cast of "Two and a Half Men" to make it "Two and a Half Men and a Hot Lady"Joining the nerds on the new "The Big I'd Like to Bang Paula Abdul Theory"Adding a segment narrated by her to the end of the popular news magazine show to make it "Sixty-nine Minutes"Joining a soap opera and making it into "As The World Turns Around Paula Abdul"Re-imagining an old show and calling it "The Six Million Dollar Make-Over"

'Ugly Betty' scoop: Kristen Johnston in, Paula Abdul out

Take note, American Idol: This is how you replace Paula Abdul.

Ugly Betty has tapped 3rd Rock Emmy winner Kristen Johnston to replace Abdul in the now-recurring role of Helen, Mode’s newest office temp and Amanda’s elder doppelganger. Abdul had been in negotiations to play the part, but last week the deal came undone — in part, I hear, due to the ex-Idol judge’s insane list of demands. (Two words: Private. Jet.)

“I’ve always considered myself a poor man’s Paula Abdul,” Johnston says with a laugh. She describes her Betty character as “Amanda in 10 years. She’s still trying to get into the right clubs, wearing tight dresses… tragic. I think [Helen] sees herself as Samantha from Sex and the City. Except, of course, she’s a temp.”

Johnston will first appear in the second half of Betty’s two-hour premiere on Oct. 9.

Thoughts? Did Betty trade up by hiring Johnston? (Hint: The answer is yes.) Sound off below! (Additional reporting by Tanner Stransky)

'Ugly Betty' Star to Intern for Carolina Herrera

Mark Indelicato (actor of ugly betty) was totally fearless when he was granted a tour of Carolina Herrera's NYC showroom last week. During the tour, Betty's nephew managed to gather the chutzpah to show his fledgling designs to the legendary couturiere.

Apparently, the young actor has been working on a denim line he's planning to create.

Herrera was taken by the youngster's confidence, and reportedly, the designer sketches didn't hurt either. "Carolina was impressed by his originality," says an insider. "She offered Mark an internship on the spot."

First, Indelicato is cast in a monster hit TV show, and now he lands an internship with an internationally famous and respected designer—some kids have all the luck!

Paula Abdul Crawling Back to American Idol?

Surprisingly, Paula Abdul, who often showed up to work on live national television wasted, is realizing that $4 million a year to critique singers while coming down off a pain pill high is a decent wage and therefore she is having second thoughts about playing hardball with American Idol producers.

Last week it was reported that Paula was courting ABC execs for possible stints on Dancing with the Stars and Ugly Betty. However, TMZ is saying that now Paula has no interest in either of those shows because she's pissed at ABC producers for leaking the news that she was in talks with them.

The problem for Paula is that it sounds like Idol producers aren't budging, however, and it doesn't look like they're willing to give her the $10 million per year she wants. It looks like Paula may be the one willing to negotiate down - now that the harsh reality is setting in of what might be in store for her career - like a bit part on Ugly Betty or sitting next to Bruno Tonioli as he screams thinly veiled sexual innuendos, which he passes off as critiques.

Look who's returning to Ugly Betty

He would not stay away for long, and goshdarnit, I believed in this issue, and actually Grant Bowler has inked a deal with Ugly Betty to reprise his role as Wilhelmina's crooked ex, Connor, for multiple episodes, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Last seen at the end of season 3, Connor fled town after Betty discovered that he had embezzled millions from Meade Publications. Willie spent the rest of the season mending her broken heart-a process I'm guessing will spill over into the fall.

Happy the little thief is back? hit the comment below.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler Joining 'Ugly Betty'

Looks like Meadow Soprano is ditching her New Jersey digs for the big city.

Former HBO mafia princess Jamie-Lynn Sigler is joining the cast of Ugly Betty, a recurring role which will place her as the new assistant to Eric Mabius' editor-in-chief Daniel Mead, at New York's chic Mode magazine.

While that particular position was famously occupied by America Ferrera as the brainy, badly dressed Betty, she's was promoted last season to Features Editor of the fictional mag.

Sigler will debut on the show's season premiere this October, says EW, alongside Mabius, Ferrera and Vanessa Williams.

The actress first rose to prominence as the daughter of James Gandolfini and Edie Falco on The Sopranos.

TV Guide Network to Stream 'Ugly Betty' Series

TV Guide Network, which is 51% owned by Lionsgate, July 22 said it had acquired the cable and streaming rights to “Ugly Betty,” the ABC TV Emmy-winning series starring America Ferrera.

The deal, which is TV Guide’s first content license agreement since being acquired by Santa Monica, Calif.-based Lionsgate, includes access to existing and future episodes of “Ugly Betty,” which will begin airing weekly in fall 2010. TVGuide.com has the rights to stream up to five “Betty” episodes at a time online.

TV Guide Network, which reaches about 83 million homes, will repurpose new episodes of the series’ upcoming fourth season within two weeks of their primetime broadcast on ABC beginning in October.

“This acquisition is the first step of a larger, ongoing plan to strengthen our programming schedule and redefine TV Guide Network as a place to watch great television,” said Ryan O’Hara, president, TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com.

Lionsgate May 28 sold 49% interest in TV Guide and TVGuide.com to a private equity subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase for $123 million in cash. The mini-major acquired TV Guide in February for $255 million from Macrovision Corp.

Ugly Betty Cast Meet Ana's Ortiz's Baby

Ugly Betty star Mark Indelicato described the scene of very, very quiet pandemonium that broke out when co-star Ana Ortiz
introduced the rest of the cast to her brand new daughter.

The young actor, who plays Ana’s son on the show, said that America Ferrera, et al, were overjoyed to meet little Paloma for the first time — but had to curb their excitement so as not to wake her up.

“Ana brought Paloma to a table read of the first episode [of the new season last week], so everyone was there,” Mark told OK! at the launch of the new project from NSF Clothing to benefit The Humane Society of the US’s Stop Puppy Mills campaign.

“She was just crowded by everyone. Everyone wanted to kiss Paloma and hug Ana.

“But everyone was treating Paloma like a little porcelain doll. They wanted to just squeeze her, but she was just so calm.

“She was sleeping and yawning and you, know you you just don’t want to disturb the peace.”

And it sounds like Ana is treating the baby, who was born on June 27, a little bit like a doll herself!

“Ana’s so excited — obviously to be a mom — but also to dress the baby up,” said Mark. “She’s like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got so many cute outfits! What is she going to wear today?’.

“She was just going on and on about what outfits Paloma’s going to wear tomorrow.”

Vanessa Williams: The Real Thing

Vanessa Williams is a singer, songwriter, actor and mother of four — and, apparently, an excellent multi-tasker. While performing on TV's Ugly Betty, she also found time to record her 13th album, The Real Thing, released this month.
“It's been interesting," says Williams, “because I have a whole new fan base now — a lot of young teenage girls who watch Ugly Betty with their moms. A lot of kids had no idea that I could sing. It's nice to have a flip side of the career, where I'm seen as a villain on TV but I get a chance to show the softer side as a recording artist."

The new CD incorporates plenty of Latin influence; the title track of the album is originally from Sergio Mendes' Brazil 77. “My father, who was a music teacher, played lots of different types of music in our house growing up. I always loved Latin music, and I always loved jazz. So, this is one of the songs from my past that I've always loved. When I thought about the direction for this album, I wanted to have Latin and Brazilian, but also stay with jazz."

Williams also performs Bill Withers' “Hello Like Before."

“Bill Withers reminds me of the days when we would go on these long road trips," Williams says. “We would have an eight-track cassette, and we'd have the Temptations, and Bill Withers was one of the favorites." She says she chose the song because “a lot has to do with love, and that's been a staple for the hits that I've had. But it also has to do with telling a story. I'm 46 years old — I've got lots of stories and lots of memories about love."

Ugly Betty slammed by Orthodontic Society

Specialists at the British Orthodontic Society said the US comedy gave a "detrimental" portrayal of wire braces.

The series follows the exploits of Betty Suarez, as she battles to make a career in the beauty-obsessed fashion magazine industry.

Now in its third season on Channel 4, Betty - played by actress America Ferrera - is still wearing heavy "train track" braces.

But according to dentists train track braces are very seldom prescribed to adults and even then are not worn for more than two years.

British orthodontists said they were worried the programme could discourage young viewers from seeking corrective dental treatment.Tracey Posner, of the British Orthodontic society, said: "It is irresponsible of the programme makers to portray Betty as 'ugly' because she wears prominent braces.

"Ugly Betty is in its third year on our TV screens and Betty remains in over-exaggerated, heavy 'train-track' braces.

"This is not a true reflection of orthodontic practice. It is highly unlikely an adult would wear braces beyond two years.
"Betty's braces are certainly intended to be seen by viewers as damaging to her appearance.
"People who wear braces are not ugly. People considering treatment should not be put off by such a stereotype.
"Many young people and adults see wearing braces as a right of passage, and enjoy the transformation."
Dr Colin Wallis, a specialist orthodontist, said: "Braces for adults and children are considerably more discreet than what is being depicted in Ugly Betty.
"There are many adults in the UK now wearing braces that are either completely clear, or are placed behind the teeth, so you may not even know that your best friend is wearing them.
"It is completely inappropriate to associate braces with being 'ugly', just as glasses have previously been an object of ridicule."
Tim Newton, professor of psychology at King's College London's Dental Institute, said: "A student of mine, Huw Jeremiah, has done some work looking at public perceptions of adults wearing orthodontic devices.

"Essentially he found that adults wearing stainless steel brackets were considered less intelligent than adults with no visible brace, so there are social impacts of wearing braces.
"There is a long body of psychological research that has found that we tend to think that 'beautiful is good' - that is that attractive people are more popular, socially skilled and intelligent than less attractive people."

Ugly Betty: Is Justin Getting a Sibling?

Ana Ortiz may be ecstatic about her new, real-life role as a mom, but that hasn't stopped her from gushing about her favorite Ugly Betty character (and possibly ours).

We caught up with the beauty at the Product 'n' Press event last month and got to hear all about her master plans for Hilda Suarez in season four, as well as which boy she thinks Betty should romance once and for all...Do you think Justin will ever get a sibling?
I'm hoping so. I would love that. I would love to see Hilda pregnant. I think she's going to be hysterical because she's very vain, and she likes her tight outfits. She's such a crack-up, but she also loves being a mother. I think that's where she gets the most pride, from her son and her family.

Will Ignacio's girlfriend, Elena (played by Lauren Vélez), come back from California?I hope she comes back. But I don't think she'll be back because she's on Dexter. Ignacio's heart will be broken, but I think now he's back in the game. It'll open up his dating life a bit more, which will be fun.

Will that give Hilda the opportunity to play matchmaker?[Laughs.] That's genius! I'm gonna pitch that. That's hysterical. She could set him up with one of her salon customers and keep trying to do that, and it's always a disaster.

Who would be your dream salon customer?Bette Midler. Jennifer Lopez. I would be in heaven. There are so many fabulous women.

So do you ever get sad that you don't get to work with some of the show's big guest stars?Yes! I always tell the producers, 'They have to come to Queens! Every once in a while, you've gotta bring some of these fabulous guest stars to Queens. Or else let us go to Mode once in a while!' But yes, I get jealous of the guest stars; I get jealous of the clothes they get to wear. Vanessa Williams is always walking around in the most fabulous, gorgeous things, and then I go to my closet, and it's like wah-wah.

Speaking of guest stars, how was working with Ralph Macchio?It was really fun. I remember him from back in the day, and I was a little starstruck at first. But he's so normal. He's so down the earth. He's a dad, he's a husband and he's such a New Yorker. He's so New York. It's hysterical.
There's been a lot of moving on this show, first from L.A. to New York, and now to Fridays at 9 p.m.I think it's really where it's supposed to be. Next season is going to be more New York because we're going to a later time slot at 9 p.m., so they're really going to push the envelope even more. I'm just really excited.

OK, so once and for all, who should Betty be with: Henry, Matt or Gio?Honestly, I think Betty should be with Betty for a while. It'd be really interesting for her to get back into that Betty groove and leave these guys in the dust for a little while and work on herself—get into a professional groove even more. But if I had to pick...It's a hard choice. They're all so juicy. I'm a little partial to Gio because it's Freddy Rodriguez. I mean, c'mon.Totes.

Season four ofUgly Betty premieres Oct. 9, at 9 p.m. on ABC.
What do you think? Is Ana right—should Betty fly solo for a while? And should we start campaigning for J.Lo to get her hair did in Queens?

Don't Laugh At Her-Lindsay Lohan Is…

Ok, seriously, how does she have any money left? She couldn't possibly still be living off the funds from her run on Ugly Betty. Those have got to be way gone by now!

Well, she must have enough tucked away because the almighty trainwreck known as Lindsay Lohan has a 3rd new business venture: a production company.

If Hollywood won't come to you, you force yourself on Hollywood!

Lindsanity has partnered up once again with Kristi Kaylor, who runs Lohan's 6126 leggings brand, to begin work on Unforgettable Productions. The duo plan to create "unforgettable TV and movie content" and have already laid the plans in motion for their first project called Faux Real, a TV show in the vein of Entourage, but set in the fashion industry.

And if that didn't make you LOL, just wait for this one: there's a game show in the works as well. The "docu-cause" show is tentatively called That's What Friends Are For and whatever the shitshow is about will in someone conjunction with charitable organizations.
source: http://www.buydvdezy.com/article-191-Dont-Laugh-At-Her-Lindsay-Lohan.html

Well, at least some good will come out of this.
While Kristi is a huge asset to La Loca's cause, we can't help but foresee this crashing and burning before lift-off. People barely want to act in films with Lindsay because she is so flaky. Who's gonna want her to be their boss?!

Diet Coke gets an Ugly Betty makeover

New York TV stylist Patricia Field has designed a limited edition Ugly Betty Diet Coke bottle.

Field, who's best known for managing the chic wardrobes of shows such as Sex and the City and Ugly Betty, has created a bright pink leopard-print bottle, which comes with stickers featuring outfits worn by America Ferrera's Betty in the current series of the Channel 4 comedy drama.

Unfortunately for Ugly Betty fans and memorabilia collectors, the bottles are only available at branches of Selfridges.

Breaking News:Betty White still not dead

I was watching Today's coverage of the Michael Jackson funeral yesterday, and after Michael Okwu's report about memorial preparation, I had to quickly rewind it (thank you DVRs) to make sure I heard what I thought I did. And I did. Okwu was listing some of the famous people buried at Forest Lawn, and he included Betty White. Meredith Vieira corrected a clearly confused Okwu, saying he probably meant Bette Davis.

Other people who are not buried at Forest Lawn: Betty Buckley and Ugly Betty.
