Could An Elle/Mode Magazine Merger Be Too Far Behind?

I’m pretty sure when Nina Garcia signed to guest star on Ugly Betty, she was still fashion director at Elle Magazine. It’s my understanding that this week’s episode (2.15 – Burning Questions) has the magazine as part of the plot.

Now, new details are starting to come out about the Ugly Betty season finale, and once again, they involve Elle.

Editor Robbie Myers and creative director Joe Zee are going to appear in the season finale. They will be a part of the big intra-company softball game. As we’ve reported, Naomi Campbell will be playing on the Elle team. This has the makings to be a very special episode. It also gives me an idea for future episodes:

Since they’ve incorporated a real-life magazine into the plot, why not kick it up a notch in season 3? I envision a hostile takeover attempt, with the Mode gang hanging on for dear life without Bradford or Alexis to guide them. All could seem lost until an Elle photographer takes some suggestive photos of a 15-year-old tween idol, causing an uproar and killing the merger. Cliff St Paul could then save the day by providing the superstar with a more wholesome photoshoot.

Say, isn’t Miley Cyrus still under contract with Disney/ABC?

Call me, Silvio.
