Rebecca Romijn + Jerry O’Connell = ‘UGLY’

Tue, 30 January 2007

ABC just announced that Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn (Alexis Meade) just hooked up boyfriend Jerry O’Connell with a stint on the Golden Globe-winning comedy. Jerry will guest star in the “Derailed” episode where he’ll play Joel, a man Alexis Meade meets while slumming in a sports bar with Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams).

And to pull ahead during February sweeps, Lucy Liu (Charlie’s Angels, Kill Bill, Ally McBeal) will also appear in a two-episode arc playing Grace Chin, a.k.a. “The Chin,” a formerly frumpy college classmate whom Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius) once stood up on a date. When Daniel needs Grace’s help with a pressing family matter, he learns that she has a long memory. Her first episode, “Derailed,” will air on February 15 on the network.

Pictures below include stills from Ugly Betty episode “I’m Coming Out,” which airs tomorrow and guest stars American Idol’s Katharine McPhee. More pictures after the jump!
