Oh I thought Nikki was due back in court soon, I guess she has time to film.
I still can’t believe what she did. I’m sure she’ll do great acting wise, but it’s weird to see her after the accident.
who cares this show is sooo stupid.
its obviously not stupid since millions of people watch it… :)
It’s one of my fave shows ever! (:
oh god no! nikki should just go away….
the only reason she’s even talked about still is because of that stupid airport fight and her sick obsession with Zac Efron.
Nice to hear Nikki’s getting her life back on track.
So Ugly didnt wanted Lindsay for bad behaviour yet they want Nikki who she and her family almost beat up a woman to death?And how come all the storylines ending up, guest having agendas again America Ferrera?Booo.
# 6 and 7 I agree
#10 I agree
YAY for Nikki Blonsky on UB!! This is going to be so great!
Go Nikki! Can’t wait to see her on UB! That show rocks. So glad she’s having fun filming this so soon after wrapping up her latest movie. :)
So Ugly Betty did not Want Lindsay so they get a Fat Pig like Nikki.
I like the show But I won’t watch it with her.
To the haters:
Go away. You’re annoying and childish.
Wtf is Nikki still a movie star she needs to leave.
I CAN’T WAIT!!!
#15 don’t tell us Haters what to do .
I hate Nikki Blonsky she is A Fat ass Pig.
She’s exactly what this show needs!!!
booo Boo Nikki Blonsky.
I love Nikki, she’s so beautiful and talented and sweet!
#20 the show needs a Fat ass Pig
#22 you get she is a Fat ass Pig
I’m not a freakin hater but
i can’t stand her
she’s fat,ugly, and TALENTLESS
Nikki is beautiful and I’m sorry that you’re so jealous. Maybe you can work on your self confidence :D
#25 I agree
omg I love Ugly Betty and I love Nikki Blonsky.
I’m way excited
i’m sure this is going to be one of the coolest episodes ever!
IA wit #14
nicky is a FAATTTT COW go back to COLDSTONE CREMERY PIG
December 4th can’t come soon enough!
wow, people are so jealous of Nikki. it’s sad.
this is great news!
They kick Lindsay out, and then bring in Nikki Blonsky as the same type of character, someone to cause problems for Betty. Hmm.

I can’t wait to see this Show.
#31 Thank you.
it’s gonna get amazing ratings!!!
#36 me either! :D
Ah yes pathetic lard to ruin the show.
#40 I agree
I am not jealous of Nikki, I just think she has a crazy obsession with Zac Efron and needs to stop talking about him in every one of her interviews. There was even some youtube clip of her talking at an elem school and she offered to talk about Zac for no reason.
#42 I know
Nikki really deserves to be on a hit show. She is so talented and has an amazing presence. I really look forward to this episode and I´m sure she will get more episodes. I think she looks really good and I´m happy then we can get a alternative to all this super slim women.
Get over the airport event. There is no evidence Nikki did anything.
I agree with #22 she is talented and pretty.
I cannot wait to see her in this episode.
noo! sorry to nikki fans but i she really annoys me and ugly betty is one of my favourite shows.
yeah I agree with #44
there isn’t any proof that nikki started the fight or not and seriously I believe her story that she didn’t.
guys hollywood isnt all about skinny girls ok.
its inner beauty.
Grace, Nikki offered to talk about it because all the Zikki fans wants to hear about it. Nikki always talks emotionally and it´s one of the things that makes here adorable.
#46 I agree
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
#48 people have every right to comment on here please don’t tell them what to do.
#50 you make my laugh.
OMG i’m so excited i love nikki and i love ugly betty :) ***
It´s about inner and outer beauty and Nikki has both.
#54 Agreed
Sounds interesting. Loved this girl in Hairspray, she really nailed her character…a beautiful voice! hope she’ll do Broadway )
Andreas, I have a hard time believing that at an elem. school there were Zikki fans lining up to listen to hear talk about Zac. From what we know about Zac and how much he likes his privacy, I dont think anyone who claims to be his friend should just offer him up as a topic of conversation at an event that had nothing to do with him.
#54 yeah I agree but mostly inner :P.
She is great.
#57 I agree
You could hear the response she got. She would only tell sweet things we have heard before.
#61 whatever.
I´m really looking forward to see Nikki In Ugly Betty! Her feinsteins show was so good and it´s great to see her acting again.
I love Nikki Blonsky
the convo between grace and andreas is funny :LOL:
yea, when nikki did a q&a at a fla. school and told the audience they could ask her “anything at all…… about herself, her career, hairspray or ZAC EFRON,” it was really ‘adorable’…..
mind you that nikki does this within the first 10 seconds of the q&a, and i gotta wonder, blatent name dropping, or is she really obsessed with him????????
either one is wrong! you don’t use your friends fame to make yourself popular or newsworthy, and you don’t obsess over a guy that’s already in a committed relationship.
but i guess her fans will TRY and defend her behavior no matter what.
andreas , saw a picture of you and nikki i think you both suit each other - your both unattractive and large
I heard her shows was good john. I was not able to go but at least I can watch her on Ugly Betty. She looks so good and have a great talent.
just a really random questio why some people’s name comes out black and others blue???
btw, vanessa is so much better than nikki so zikki fans, stop dreaming.
#68
will you stop bringing you know who into this its a nikki post.
#69 i can bring whoever i want to this post.
who are u to tell me what i can or can’t do? i’m just telling the truth, if u can bash vanessa . i can bash nikky too, doesn’t this seem fair?
Why do people watch Nikki videos if they don`t like her? Weird.
Sweet, I am not large. Nikki has curves but looks very acttractive. Not everyone likes slim girls.
#70
yeah soo but im keeping my opinions to myself now cuz everytime i said something bad about her all fans go nuts jeez.
AWESOME I LOVE HER………………………..CAN’T WAIT!!!
andreas……
i happened upon that nikki vid b/c it came up as a related vid for the search i was doing. and since i had heard she was recently in fla. performing, i wanted to check it out as i’ve never heard her sign other than hairspray, but alas, that wasn’t what the vid was about. nope, just her name dropping…………………again……………
so dont bash vanessa, then i wont bash nikky.
VANESSA RULES!
and why is nikky so obsessed with zac?
doesn’t she know he has a girlfriend?
jeez…
WHAT??? MAN
SHE IS GONNA RUIN THE WHOLE SHOW.
i mean Nikky Blonsky???
are u serious??? ewwwww
bb…
she was in fla and visited to schools and talked about the PALS program. Do search on nikki blonsky cruise and you can see a clip of her singing a bonny raitt song. There is also a clip from here performance in Carmen. I have seen her perform. She has a great voice and can sing a lot more than hairspray.
andreas,
never said she couldn’t sing, was just surprised at what i came upon, and quite frankly dismayed that she feels compelled to bring up zac at any available opportunity????
just don’t get it!
Great news! I don’t watch Ugly Betty but I’ll watch just for Nikki :)
yeah i dnt watch ugly betty either but i’ll watch the episode nikki appears on.
I can`t wait to see Nikki. She is a great inspiration. Nikki and America together will so much fun.
#70 I agree you tell 69
Zanessa Fans don’t fright with Angela because to her she is right . and we are wrong.
you kids are just upset because HSM3 is over and you know that Zac loves Nikki and there’s nothing you can do about it! LOL!
sweet: you are so cruel. I would love to see a picture of how perfect you look
and Nikki mentioning Zac at school was just a joke you idiots! because all of Zac’s costars get asked about him all the time! she’s a funny girl, just making a joke, she knows little kids are big Zac fans
#82 thank you. i’m just telling the truth
and #84, no are you serious??? zac loves nikky???
lol, that was the best joke i have heard all day.
keep dreaming, honey.
LMAO LMAO LMAO omgbbq, HAHAHHAHA thanks for the laugh. I love nikki threads, so much to laugh at, OH man how do you crazies function in life when you are so damn delusional. Sweetie you are pathetic, but hopefully you’re a child who still has time to grow up unlike most of her fans that have posted here before. Adults and delusional, what a great combo. and AGAIN HAHAHHAHAHHA nikki has curves LOL, no OBESITY does NOT equal curves. And a desperate girl name dropping a taken man and making up lies is something people are a fan of. Okay then, have fun in he ll.
Oh well the judges will decide her punishment on the airport brawl. Her beast of a father better get punished for what he did to that woman to have her end up hospitalized.
omgbbq

=======================================
last time i checked there is a HUGE difference between “being asked about a costar” and offering up said costar as a topic of conversation when there is absolutely no reason to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and from…….
omgbbq
you kids are just upset because HSM3 is over and you know that Zac loves Nikki and there’s nothing you can do about it! LOL!
=====================================
us kids!!!!! LMFAO, you can’t be serious…………….oh wait, i guess you are ROTFL!!!!
so when’s the big announcement????????????
All you Nikki’s fans that say she is talented, attractive, could get any man, and nice…hm…let me think? Why do you think she needs to be associated with Zac Efron? Without Zac, in reality, she is not talented, ugly, cannot attract any guys, and very mean. The only reason that she got the part of “Tracy” is by having sex with the director. In order for her to be nominated, she has sex with Golden Globe and SAG communities to be nominated.
She has curve…if Nikki let her belt loose, her stomach flaps will go right to the floor.
She must have sex with the director of “Ugly Betty” to get on this show, because she is not talented, ugly, can not attract to any guy on her own, and mean. For that reason, she is going to trial for hitting a person. How do you know that Nikki is telling the truth?
At the Teen Choice Award, Brittany Snow said she doesn’t talk to her at all; however, for professional reason, Brittany did put in a kind word for Nikki. In other, the Hairspray casts are not even close at all. It sounded like the female Hairspray casts don’t even get along with her. You don’t even see any Hairspray casts hang around with each other after the movie. The movie was good. It just seem like everyone that was in Hairspray said BS like…yeah, we all good friend, but in reality they all are just co-workers and basically that is it. They lied by saying the HS casts are like close friends for marketing. Look they are not even close at all.
#89 and 90 I agree
A few points
1)#90, I agree with your last paragraph.
2)I not a Nikki fan but I think she great she is moving on with her life.
3)She does not have curves; she fat plain and simple.
4) She talented but has an annoying personality so I will on her Ugly Betty espiode.
5)Slim girls(not skinny) will always rule Hollywood. Girls with tone
bodies(like Jessica Biel)
#92 I agree
I can’t wait to see Nikki on the show! :D
whyyy are they doing this to ugly betty…… im not watching that episode!!!
I meant I will pass on her Ugly Betty espiode though I love Ugly Betty and America Ferrera I find Nikki too annoying.
Remember, Slim Girls rule Hollywood(even America lost weight and looks fabulous on the red-carpet).
You are just scared because Nikki challenge your “perfect ideal”. She looks really good and will be great on Ugly Betty. If you have been to her shows you can see that she is very talented (without mention Zac).
Nikki will be great on Ugly Betty. She is a great inspiration, comfortable with herself and dare to show it.
#90 and 96 I agree with you.
Good for Nikki! She’s a great talent and can’t wait to see her on one of my favorite shows.
Good for her! Loved her in HS and contrary to popular belief on this site, SHE was the star of the show not Zac Efron! She has a great voice and is a beautiful young lady comfortable with who she is! I’ll be watching her.
oh my god Mary S do you have a life??? all you do is post over and over again and its really annoying, u have made your point, no one cares so sod off!!!
Go Nikki, she will be amazing!!!
#102 shut up.
AGREE ” CANDY “……The show goes from one disaster guest, to another…One who was arrogant and had to have their own way, and now an arrogant no-body jail-bird, who needs to have an attitude adjustment……Is ” UGLY BETTY “, hurting THAT bad?….They will be hurting after Nikki gets on the set and throws a temper when things are NOT her way…AGAIN !!!
Can someone tell where Ugly Betty is Filmed at my mom said Ny.
You people on this site have such a bias against anyone who doesn’t weigh or look the same. I guess all the successful actors and who are over weight should be rounded up and taken behind a shed and shot!
Nikki Blonsky is a wonderful talent and a beautiful young woman who is getting jobs despite the fact she is not your typical skinny girl. Obviously her talent is getting her jobs acting and singing.
She can make it on her own and does not have to hang on the arm of some teen heart throb to get a job.
You go girl! You are beautiful!

She can make it on her own and does not have to hang on the arm of some teen heart throb to get a job.
============================================
since she doesn’t have the arm of a teen heart throb to hang onto, i guess she relies on name dropping instead!
BB.. do you even realize that you just insulted V? LOL
and it’s not just name dropping, He talks about her as well. so there.
all you haters lead sad miserable lives and i pity you
hahaha
#108 shut up.
omgbbq

======================================
not quite, but i as usual, you see, read, hear what you want to. btw, did you stick your tongue out at me while saying …..”so there!!”
last time i checked there is a HUGE difference between “being asked about a costar” and offering up said costar as a topic of conversation when there is absolutely no reason to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and don’t bother pitying me, i don’t need it b/c i don’t believe in fantasy.
#111 I agree
I DONT LIKE HER!!
Ugh!!! She gets on my nerves so bad. That series is not even in the UK yet but ugh!!!
Nikki deserves to have her own show.
Something like….
Ugly Blonsky
lmfao
Woooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Cant wait to see Nikki!
Cant wait for Ugly Betty to come back!
haters can get lost!!! :D
I never watched UB before, but I will now because Nikki Blonsky will be on it. Lindsay Blohan is the pig for pulling that nasty stunt on the person that had her hired, America Ferrara!
I hope she does well here.. so she wouldnt go as low as name drop again..
Oh people, people, people. It says so much about this site and those that frequent it that the biting satire of 888’s post failed to generate a single mind that read between the lines. Anyone even with the barest hint of the Hairspray director’s sexual orientation would have gotten it in the first paragraph. But then I guess that would have required one to think for themselves and perhaps, oh yes, even do a little research before making assumptions. And by research I do not mean Wikipedia or E! News. There’s this little thing used by journalists in the days of yore called going to the source, quite often backed up by eye witness accounts and recorded evidence which leads to a shocking thing called a balanced opinion. But I guess, in the terminology of the U.S.A’s incumbent president if you read it on the internets it must be true.
Mere hours before this story was posted here Americans elected a new President on the promise of Change. One who is living proof that your exterior, whatever it is, is not something to be judged upon. With his words, there was a brief and shining moment where the world could believe that perhaps we were entering a new dawn where finally people could “heal the divides that have held back our progress”. With the words written here and other vitriolic sites such as these we see the sad truth of his reiterations throughout his speech that truly change does take time…it‘s a long, hard climb. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, it is one of the basic tenets of human rights that we have fought for and that so many take for granted in our Westernised society where celebrity is the new world religion and free-for-all judgement has become the standard. Have an opinion, hate someone if you want to, it’s your right to hypothesize, talk, rant on the subject if you wish, use your freedom of speech by all means, but let it be an informed opinion not a bigoted one.
YAY! I can’t wait to see this episode! She’ll be perfect on this show!
#90 just because nikki and her friends are not forced down peoples throats like the HSM3 cast does not mean they are not close. People have lives that do not include paparazzi. There are plenty of celebrities who don’t regularly show up on tabloids. Your comment on the Hairspray cast not being close, thats ridiculous, just basing it on superfluous info.
Ugly Betty is an awesome show and I’m sure Nikki will do a great job!

Stella @ 11/05/2008 #26,
the only person possibly jelous of nikki is a 500 pound whale saying “i wish i was as skinny as her” :P
angela @ 11/05/2008 at 5:13 pm #47
guys hollywood isnt all about skinny girls ok.
its inner beauty.
————————————–
Haha, no its not. Sorry to say it but its Hollywood. its not about inner beauty. I’m sure if Nikki was skinnier she’d be much more popular and make it bigger. So in a sense, hollywood is all about skinny girls ok.
#121, Nikki really isnt close to any of her cast members though. Thats the only part of #90, that i have to say i agree with. :/
You people are so mean. Everyone makes mistakes in this life. Hopefully Nikki as learned from hers. She is trying to move on so people just let her. I myself think she is a very good actress and singer for that matter. She will be an asset to the Ugly Betty show and I myself will be watching for that reason. May God bless and let you have a very long and prosperous career. Nikki has more talent than any of the HMS cast except Corban
You, Nikki haters, you guys are such losers. You don’t know what u r talking about. I was at the airport when that incident occurred an she was the VICTIM not the instigator. That other low life loser Bianca was the one that started the whole thing. Bianca wanted to be on the magazines. That’s why she did all that. I can’t believe how things were completely turned around like this.
Nikki is a great actress and singer and should not be kept in hiding because of weigh or whatever.
Get a life people!
So what if Nikki Blonsky is heavy? As long as she’s healthy, it doesn’t matter. She’s beautiful and talented. Have any of you ever heard of the halo effect? People tend to think that skinny people are more talented and bigger people aren’t.
Also, I am sorry but she’s not obsessed with Zac Efron. It’s only natural that after working on something together, you become friends. Not BF/GF, but you still are friends.
As for Ugly Betty, I’ve never even seen it…but good luck Nikki!
