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.

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.”

The production of Ugly Betty is definitely moving to New York City, announced Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. David Paterson and ABC Studios President Mark Pedowitz.

The ABC series is moving from LA to NY in order to take advantage of the 35% tax credits from the city and state, which will create more than 200 full- and part-time jobs.

The move was joked about on Saturday Night Live this past weekend during Amy Poehler’s Weekend Update: “Producers of the hit show Ugly Betty are in talks to relocate production of the show to New York City, where it is set. Which is odd, because I thought it was set on a gay spaceship.”

Here are the first official pictures of the hunky (and shirtless, of course) Eddie Cibrian from his guest spot on the hit ABC show, Ugly Betty.
