There are still LOTS of pics coming in from the recent Ugly Betty on-location filming in the Bahamas (including an incredibly juicy set involving a villainess diva and a certain Aussie that I’m trying desperately to get my hands on).  Right now, it’s Michael Urie’s turn.  Here are some pics of Michael relaxing and enjoying himself with some friends in the lovely clear waters.

Looks like Michael had a tough shoot – all the sand and sea and frozen fruity drinks – I feel sorry for him.    No seriously, I am SOOOO jealous!

Very, very few men have …read more

For those of us who can’t get enough of Ugly Betty’s Marc and Amanda, here is an “Amazon Exclusive” episode of the “Mode After Hours” web series:

 
Thanks to UBN commenter  Nanyscia, who made me aware of this great webisode.
In this episode, seems to have been filmed sometime before episode 3.21, The Born Identity.  Marc is babysitting William for Wilhelmina, or so it seems.  Amanda soon discovers Marc isn’t babysitting at all, but spying.
At first, Marc creates a ruse about who he is spying on, but Amanda soon discovers the real object of Marc’s stalking – Jake Gyllenhaal.
Amanda then performs an …read more

Here are some Ugly Betty set photos of America Ferrera taken very recently.  She was surprised on the set by her two dogs, Buddy and Lucy.

I LOVE the joy you see in Ferrera’s face as she greets her dogs.  They have a way of bringing smiles out of us, don’t they?  And I love the fact that Ferrera likes big dogs.
I’m assuming the Golden Retriever is Buddy (as in “Air Buddy”?)  They are both beautiful.
So is this coat worn by Ferrera.  Obviously, you can tell she is mismatched in her clothes underneath, but we’ve all gotten used to that.  …read more

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the photos of Ugly Betty executive producer Salma Hayek smoking with her baby nearby while after-Christmas shopping. Needless to say, they’ve caused quite an uproar.
Part of me says, “A Hollywood celebrity smoking? Who woulda’ thunk it?”. Hollywood has a long tradition of smokers, many of whom are considered legends.
And, whose business is it anyways? This is NOT Michael Jackson holding his infant son over a balcony railing. Heck, it’s not even Miley Cyrus riding around without a seat belt. In America, smoking tobacco is …read more

Here are some more photos of Ugly Betty executive producer Salma Hayek at the Women in Film Crystal +Lucy award.  As we’ve reported, Salma was honored with the Lucy award, celebrating her achievements with Ugly Betty and elsewhere.
 
The still relatively new mom said, “I’m 41 now. And I have to say, it is the best time in my life.”
She gave birth to daughter Valentina Paloma last September, with billionaire fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault.  She revealed that the years had been a learning experience.
“I have learned to enjoy time to be a woman,” she added.
“I have learned to enjoy how …read more

Well, I’ll be. Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams was in town, and didn’t even call.
If you’ve been reading here a while, you know that I live in Nashville, TN. Well, they happen to be filming the Hannah Montana Movie here, and Ms. Williams was spotted on the set last week. I need to get my camera and head out there more often.

It would make sense that Williams would have a role in the film. Miley Cyrus told Ryan Seacrest on one of the YouTube installments of the Miley And Mandy Show that the …read more

Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera stopped outside the Ed Sullivan Theater last night to sign autographs before appearing on The David Letterman Show.  She was absolutely gorgeous in this dress.

I hope Ms Ferrera stays as wonderfully (semi) accessible as she is now.  Moving to New York will mean many more opportunities to “press the flesh”.  It would appear from the interview that Ferrera doesn’t mind the move to New York at all.  I didn’t know this, but she was living in New York when she was cast as Betty.  Come to think of it, I’d imagine most of the cast …read more

It’s interesting – there is a lot of talk going on about America Ferrera’s makeup, or lack of it.  The Ugly Betty star is a hit either way.
As you know, Ferrera dazzled on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
 
Part of her fabulous look was due to the work of makeup artist Vanessa Scali, who used Lancome products on Ferrera to complete her look.  She used She used Lancôme CILS Booster XL (super-enhancing mascara base) and High Definicils High Definition Mascara with Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir, and used the Color Design Artist Palettes in Couture Warms …read more

Instyle has a America Ferrera chosen as their “Look of the day” for her casual, yet lovely look at the recent premiere of Disney’s Enchanted. 

 
 
America looks enchanting in a Nanette Leopore top, “Sweetheart” colored jeans, and peep-toe pumps.  Apparently, many others came to the premeire dressed to the nines – but this look is absolutely perfect!
Instyle also has a “look of the day” poll – she is up against Eva Longoria, Kate Moss, Hayden Panettiere, and Angie Harmon.  You can vote here:

Hey, Ugly Betty fans, hop on over and vote for America!

America Ferrera joined the Writer’s Guild of America picket lines Monday in solidarity with the writers.  Notice from this photo that she’s wearing her Betty necklace, and I think, one of Betty’s dresses.  Did she come stright from the set?  If so, that would be quite interesting. Hopefully the actors and runners, showing solidarity will bring the producers back to the table more quickly.
Speaking of, there is a very helpful article in Variety about the runners and others who have dual roles, like Ugly Betty executive producer Silvio Horta:
Silvio Horta, creator-exec producer of ABC’s “Ugly Betty,” was mulling over his …read more
