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

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

America Ferrera gave a little advice by example to troubled stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan in an appearance on TRL yesterday:
My advice to anyone who gets into too much trouble is, ‘Get a job!’
 
I can’t get into trouble because I’m working all the time…I’m too busy working and focusing on what I’m doing to be out partying.
I love it!  Fererra has said in the past that she works 13 hour days; she takes her role as Betty very, very seriously.  I would also say that her advice is sound, but I really don’t hold any hope that it would be …read more
