Here are a few photos of Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato swimming with a dolphin at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.  They were in the tropical location filming a special episode of Ugly Betty.

My FIRST guess would be that this was a side excursion, and not part of a scene for Ugly Betty.  Actually, I hope I’m wrong and that this was filmed and will make it to the final cut of the episode.  The two are so cute here (not to mention the dolphin)!
I think Mark REALLY enjoyed this.  On Twitter, on the morning of October 5th, …read more

This past Saturday found Ugly Betty star and new mother Ana Ortiz in Central park, hosting FITNESS Magazine’s 8th Annual Mind, Body, Spirit Games.   (Hat tip – Hissip.com, who also has a couple of nice pics of the incredibly slim Ortiz at the event)
Runners, walkers, and supporters of the FITNESS Mind, Body, Spirit Games enjoyed live music, massages, and wellness classes.
Ana accepted a check for $10,000 on behalf of Developing Artists Theater Company, which is a nonprofit whose mission is providing multicultural children 9-18 with performing arts opportunities.  Excellent!
This had to have been quite an event.  Bob Harper was …read more

The baby pipeline that seems to run through the dressing rooms at Ugly Betty won’t be slowing down very soon, that is if Ana Ortiz has her way.  She tells OK magazine that she’s ready to have baby number two, just two months after having baby Paloma.
“The sooner the better,” she says.  “We’re definitely looking forward to having a playmate for her.”
She was recently at an event at NYC’s Double Tree Metropolitan Hotel, wheeling little Paloma around.  “I brought her out because I couldn’t get a babysitter,” she says.
Welcome to parenthood, Ana.    I can really relate to …read more

“I would love to see Hilda pregnant”, says Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz when asked by EOnline’s Kristin if art will imitate life. 
“I think she’s going to be hysterical because she’s very vain, and she likes her tight outfits. She’s such a crack-up, but she also loves being a mother. I think that’s where she gets the most pride, from her son and her family.”
True.  They had a great opportunity at the end of last season, but I understand why Ana’s pregnancy wasn’t written into the show.  With the attention of the plot lines so scattered, not enough attention …read more

Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz tells hometown paper the Philadelphia Inquirer about her first week as a mama:
“This has been an amazing first week. She is so beautiful it is staggering”, she said, speaking of newborn daughter Paloma Louise Lebenzon.  (Hopefully we’ll have a picture soon!)
Ortiz tells a wonderful story about the generosity of co-star America Ferrera, her on-screen sister.  On Paloma’s birthday, once Ana, her husband Noah Lebenzon, and baby Paloma were alone, after all the friend and family had left she got a delivery to her room of three dozen freshly baked cookies and ice cold milk from …read more

A spokesperson for Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz says she and her husband Noah Lebenzon welcomed their baby girl on Saturday.
They named the girl Paloma Louise (what a beautiful name!).  They waited till the birth to choose the name.  She weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces.  The spokesperson says Ortiz has left the hospital and is now Back home in Broooklyn.
Ana recently told OK magazine that the first thing she’ll have to do with Paloma is introduce her to the family pets.  "I have to get the dog and the baby to know one another so that will be interesting," …read more

Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz is primed and ready for when she goes into labor.  Her baby, a girl, is due tomorrow.
Ortiz tells OK Magazine, “The bag is packed – mostly.  I need to get some toothbrushes.”
If she’s down to toothbrushes, I’d say Ana is just about ready.  Ortiz also talks about why she’s looking so buff, even at 9 months pregnant:
“Because they didn’t write [my pregnancy] into the show, it was kind of important to me to try to stay as much in shape as possible. It’s the first time I ever worked with a trainer because I didn’t …read more

I ran across these photos of Ana Ortiz at the celebration of Vanessa Williams‘ CD release celebration last week, and I had to share them.  Ana is, as they say, about to pop.

It seems like the whole Ugly Betty crew was there.  I think America Ferrera is in LA shooting her new film, but otherwise, Ana, Tony Plana and Michael Urie were in attendance.
I’ll be doggoned if she isn’t wearing high heels in these pics.  I have been proven wrong.  (I said several times that Ortiz  would stop wearing heels when she got late in the pregnancy.  She is …read more

Someone call Alison Dubois.  Apparently Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz has gotten “the gift” during her pregnancy.
"Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl," Ortiz, 38, told PEOPLE at the Point Honors gala in New York City. "I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name."
If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s this: never, never ignore female intuition.  If I were Ana’s husband, Noah Lebenzon, I’d go with the flow and be glad that a name for his daughter came from the …read more

  Time absolutely flies, doesn’t it?  Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz will be having her baby in July, and that’s just around the corner!
So, it must be about time for the baby shower.  And guess who’s hosting it?  Not America Ferrera.  Not new mom Rebecca Romijn.  Not Meade Mom Judith Light.  Oh, no doubt they’ll be there.  But this shindig is going to be hosted by Ugly Betty costume designer Patricia Field.
“She told me, ‘I’m going to throw you a baby shower,’ and I started crying,” the 38-year-old recently told OK Magazine.
“That’s how the whole show is — very much a …read more
