The stars of Ugly Betty had a busy time yesterday, traveling to two different events:  A Special Evening With Ugly Betty, hosted by Times Talks, and a fundraiser for Save the Children, hosted by Esquire and America Ferrera.  Here are some pics from the latter.

America looks GREAT, and she’s really got this red carpet thing down (thanks to time and Vanessa Williams).  America is wearing a black Moshino safety pin-embellished crepe dress paired with gold peep-toes.
Speaking of Vanessa:

The lady can still bring it in this LBD.  Check out the two-toned shoes!
Becki Newton was there.  She wears this …read more

Ugly Betty’s Eric Mabius and his beautiful wife Ivy Sherman were amongst the many celebrities at the New York City screening of Quentin Tarantino’s new flick Inglorious Basterds.

 
I see that we have the return of Bearded Mabius, who always appears in the Ugly Betty offseason.  Since filming on Betty season 4 is already underway, I think we have to assume the Mabius’ beard will make it onscreen.  Perhaps it will be an outward sign of Daniel’s mourning of his departed bride, Molly.
Mabius’ real bride, Ivy, looks lovely here,  That is an extremely flattering dress.
And, of course, Mr Mabius always …read more

Here are a couple of photos of Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie and Becki Newton at the 11th Annual Broadway Barks Adopt-A-Thon this past weekend in Times Square.  Doggies and Marc & Mandy – who can resist?

 
The event was hosted by  Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore.  As I side note, have we seen the end of Peters on Ugly Betty?  Plot wise, after stealing Betty’s dream job, is there anything left for Jodi to do?  I still think it would be cool for her to pop up from time to time, allowing Betty a chance to get even a …read more

Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie tells us that he’s rejoining the strange, wonderful world of Celebrity Autobiography on Friday, June 26.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with Celebrity Autobiography, it is just as it sounds: comedians read, word for word, from autobiographies of celebrities.
Nightline did a story about it last year, and Urie was one of the people featured:

Hi-larious.  It’s kind of a funny push-back from our “tell and show everyone everything all the time” reality society.  I believe I remember where Urie once read from Miley Cyrus‘ book, which would have been so funny you couldn’t see straight.
Joining …read more

Here are a couple of pics of Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams at the 2009 Logo NewNowNext Awards.

Vanessa doesn’t wear black much in these public events (forgive me if her dress is navy). The pattern is really interesting, but doesn’t distract from the overall look.
The NewNowNext Awards (produced by cable network Logo),  are celebrate the best in pop culture from a GLBT point of view.  From the website of the awards:
The NewNowNext Awards are bringing you another celebration of fresh, freaky and up-and-coming pop culture, celebs and saliva-inducing stuff. Every year we hand out awards to the new, now …read more

A couple of weeks ago, when this flashed on our TV, my family made me rewind the DVR to view it again.  Sure enough, it was Ugly Betty’s Daniel Eric Gold starring in a commercial for McDonald’s dollar menu:

Hey, if you’ll remember, David Blue had a killer Subway commercial.
Gold is really starting to grow on me.  I think where his real comedic talent lies is playing it straight while ridiculous things are happening all around him.  Sort of like Bob Newhart back in the day.  There’s no better environment for that kind of comedy than the world of Mode and …read more

This past Wednesday night, there was a special “Ugly Betty Is Back” event with many of the cast and crew of Ugly Betty.  There was an early screening of episode 3.20, Rabbit Test, and a Q &A session afterward.  Some folks you probably know – members of “The Getty Girls”, who post at Mode Girl, Sandwich Guy (a Gio/Betty “ship” and general Freddy Rodriguez fan site) – several of whom comment here, were in the audience. 

Pictured are Miss_T, the fabulous Becki Newton, and Meg.  Strike a pose, ladies!
Anyway, a LOT was revealed during the Q&A.  It’s all recapped …read more

Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams is going to be a part of A Capitol Fourth, the annual 4th of July Concert/Fireworks show in Washington, DC celebrating US Independence Day. She will be singing, and will no doubt include a couple of songs from her new album!
According to EOnline, Williams will be performing along with Natasha Bedingfield and the legendary Barry Manilow, along with several characters from Sesame Street.
Jimmy Smits will be hosting.  Awesome!
The same EOnline report mentions the lineup at the DC Memorial Day Concert.  At that shindig, Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna will be hosting, and Katie Holmes will …read more

Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera continues to grace the cover of many magazines – the most recent being Gotham Magazine, the upscale New York area magazine.  The magazine held a party in Ferrera’s honor, and many Ugly Betty stars were present.

Beautiful!  America is stunning in this light blue Malandrino Resort 2009 dress.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen her wear a dress with such a plunging neckline, even at the Emmys.  And, the cover photo behind her is quite beautiful as well.
Also present were Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants alum Alexis Bledel , along with Chrishell Stause, and of course, …read more

Here are some photos of Ugly Betty’s beautiful Vanessa Williams, (and her equally beautiful daughter), at the Hollywood premiere of Hannah Montana, The Movie.

Vanessa and daughter Sasha both look quite spring-like (which kind of gives me spring fever).  In case you didn’t know, Williams plays Miley Cyrus’ pushy agent in the film.  I think most of her part of the story line occurs at the beginning of the film, but I do know that Vanessa spent some time in Tennessee (where the bulk of the movie was filmed), so perhaps she has a bigger role than I am imagining.
Also …read more
