Ugly Betty Archives

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of visiting the headquarters of Take180, a community where people come together to make awesome web shows.

This week, Take180 members voted to spoof the hit ABC Show Ugly Betty, calling it Ugly Yeti. So instead of not-so-fashion-forward Betty Suarez, we have a not-so-fashion-forward Abominable Snowman!

My role in the webisode? The fashion magazine photographer. Watch it below! And yes, it was my first time wearing guyliner!

The concept behind Ugly Yeti was based on a member submission and Take180’s next challenge is asking YOU for Reality TV spoof ideas. Check it out!

Take180 also has a sweepstakes for a trip to the Hollywood premiere of the new animated flick movie Up! Don’t miss it! (BTW, I saw the first 45 minutes of Up! and it looks like it might be my favorite Disney-Pixar movie ever!!!)

Things aren’t looking so pretty for Ugly Betty.

EW reports the ABC dramedy is being put on hiatus starting March 26 and replacing it with episodes of Samantha Who? and the new Megan Mullally-Cheryl Hines comedy In the Motherhood. Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

The network’s release says, “Ugly Betty will return to Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. following the run of In the Motherhood and Samantha Who?”

An ABC spokesperson adds, “The Thursday night block is a good opportunity to launch these comedies. That said, Betty is a solid performer and there is no question that it will definitely be back to complete its season, just without repeats.”

That means Betty could return sometime in June. That’s four months away!!! Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky will make her guest appearance on Ugly Betty TOMORROW, January 8.

The 19-year-old actress will play Teri, an assistant at Elle magazine with whom Betty (America Ferrera) initially develops a friendship at first but later turns into a rivalry. The two meet at a networking mixer, where Teri does something that makes Betty’s night super-duper complicated.

Nikki was most excited to act alongside Michael Urie (Wilhemina’s assistant Marc St. James). She gushed, “[He] is next to God in my book. Michael introduced himself and said, ‘Do you want to hear one of my ringtones?’ And he held up his phone and ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’ came out. All I could think was, ‘Wow, Michael Urie knows who I am and has my voice on his cell phone.’ Crazy!”

Ugly Betty airs @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky will guest star on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty, ABC confirms to JustJared.com.

Blonsky will start filming this Friday. Her cameo is set to appear January 8 on ABC.

Dimples dreamboat Eddie Cibrian films scenes with series regular Ana Ortiz on the set of Ugly Betty in Queens, New York on Friday,

Ortiz celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary to musician Noah Lebenzon last year.

“We are definitely talking about kids,” she told People last month. “It’s probably sooner than later! I want to make sure that I have at least three kids, even if I don’t give birth to all of them. Adoption, natural - everything is up in the air!”

Ugly Betty regular Christopher Gorham has joined the CBS midseason drama Harper’s Island.

That means the love triangle between Henry (Gorham) and Gio (Freddy Rodriguez) is over! Hunk Val Emmich will have a recurring role of Jesse, a potential new love interest for our braces-boasting gal.

According to THR, Gorham, 33, will play the groom-to be in Harper’s Island, which is a serialized horror story about a group of friends meet on an island off the Seattle coast for a destination wedding.

America Ferrera gets blasted with silly string on the Brooklyn set of Ugly Betty Tuesday in New York City.

She joined costars Becki Newton and Michael Urie on set to film their hit ABC show’s third season.

Ugly Betty recently relocated production from the West Coast to the Big Apple to take advantage of the 35% tax credits from the city and state.

ABC’s hit drama Ugly Betty may be turning into a Broadway musical production soon!

Michael Urie, aka Wilhemina’s assistant Marc, told British radio station Heart, “They do want to do an Ugly Betty musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it’s all hush-hush. I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. I think we would all do it, although we maybe don’t dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it’s a great idea. It would definitely work.”

WOULD YOU BUY tickets to see Ugly Betty on Broadway?
