Video: Urie,Newton and Williams Interview at TCAs

EOnline’s Kristin was at ABC’s big bash for the TCAs, and she had this wonderful interview with Becki Newton and Micheal Urie, crashed by Vanessa Williams about Ugly Betty season 3.

Newton and Urie must be a handful on the set - they seem to be constantly joking around. I think that’s what makes them […]

Photos: Vanessa Williams On Set With Miley Cyrus

In other, less distressing news, Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams has been hard at work filming Hannah Montana, The Movie with uber-tween star Miley Cyrus.  Although a good chunk of the movie is being filmed here in Tennessee (Vanessa, call me.  Let’s do Cracker Barrel.  My treat), these scenes were shot in Beverly Hills.

Ugly Betty’s WIlliams, Light Make Emmy Supporting Actress Shortlist

More Emmy 2008 category semi-final lists are coming in, this time Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.  Not surprisingly, Vanessa Williams made the list.  More surprising (to me at least), is the inclusion of Judith Light.  Here is the whole list:
Kristin Chenoweth, “Pushing Daisies”Conchata Ferrell, “Two and a Half Men”Jenna Fischer, “The Office”Jane […]

Video: Vanessa Williams Opens The TV Land Awards

Here is video of the lovely Vanessa Williams, in her opening segment as host of the 2008 TV Land Awards last night. It’s great to see her outside the role of evil Wilhelmina on Ugly Betty.

Even though she seemed to be out of her element (a little), Vanessa has that “something”; she carries the […]

Vanessa Williams’ Life Comes Full Circle

Vanessa Williams has had a roller-coaster life, that’s for sure. The woman who plays evil Wilhelmina on Ugly Betty hasn’t always been on Disney’s “A” list.
In 1984, Williams was crowned Miss America, only to lose the title when some very risque photographs of her showed up in Pentouse Magazine. Even in the 90’s, […]

Vanessa Williams Arriving at TVLand Awards

Here are photos of the lovely Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams on the red carpet at last night’s TVLand Awards. It was good to see she brought her beautiful daughter, giving her a glimpse of our TV heritage.
I’ve rarely seen Vanessa in black, but man, that color looks good on her. It must have […]

Since I last told you about Vanessa Williams’ involvement in the Hannah Montana movie, we’ve learned a few more things. I know this because I live in Nashville, where the film is shooting, and you can’t turn around without seeing a news story about the film. It’s funny, part of the culture here […]

Vanessa Williams Finally Receives Degree From Syracuse

Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams left Syracuse University in 1983 when she became the first African American Miss America. After almost 25 years, she finally received her degree.
Some of us are old enough to remember how Williams’ reign as Miss America went. She was forced to resign her position after Penthouse Magazine published sexually […]
