Most of the spoiler news about Ugly Betty lately has been surrounded around Betty and her family. Refreshingly, EW’s Michael Ausiello has an interesting little tidbit about Marc:
Question: We haven’t had Ugly Betty scoop in forever! What’s next? — Sidra
Ausiello: Marc’s getting a new roommate…But the show isn’t adding any new cast-members.
Hmmm – the possibilities are intriguing.
The obvious one would be the return of David Blue as Cliff. No doubt Michael Urie and Blue were great together, in an odd-couple sort of way. This is the possibility I am wishing for the most. However, when …read more

Michael Urie recently hopped across the pond to attend the National Television Awards, broadcast on ITV from Albert Hall. Ugly Betty was nominated for Most Popular Comedy Programme (I LOVE spelling it that way!), although the award went to Benidorm.
This is an interesting look for Urie; it’s almost as if he stole Alec Mapa’s glasses.
It appears I’m not the only one wondering what’s going on with urie’s character Marc. 3.07, Crush’d, was a disaster for him. Cheating on Cliff, and not even over some long term emotional attachment, but anonymous sex (stereotype …read more

I got so excited with the wonderful episode of Ugly Betty last Thursday (3.06, Ugly Berry), I almost completely overlooked the equally wonderful Mode After Hours starring Becki Newton and Michael Urie.  This “webisode” was entitled “Trapped”.  It was as strange as it was funny.
 

Marc and Amanda get trapped in an elevator at Mode, and go into an air-headed panic.  I love how they go from “we’re stuck in here” to “the entire human race is gone, but us.”
The conversation at the beginning about flavored, er,something, is intriguing.  I also especially liked Marc’s dream about putting on Wilhelmina’s tiara  and …read more

Mode After Hours webisode entitled “Slumber Party” is hilarious! Amanda tells Marc she has needs, so they plan a slumber party at Mode. Marc said they could have pillow fights and talk in British accents, lol, sounds fun! Then there a little bit of overzealous waxing involved. Ouch!

OMG, these Ugly Betty webisodes are absolutely hilarious!  Here is the latest installment “Friend-iversary”:
 

It starts out with Amanda doing her “Vlog”, basically describing Betty’s love life delimma through a sandwich analogy. Who says Mandy is dumb?
Marc comes in, then mayhem ensues. What starts out as a celebration of the anniversary of their friendship turns into a fight – a real one. It’s quite hilarious.
Each proceeds to reveal to the web audience embarrassing facts about the other (my favorite? Marc’s screen name is “StickyBunz” BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!) They have a fight reminiscent of “Dynasty”, then of course, make up. Absolutely wonderful. If …read more

As much as I liked the Web Telenovelas associated with Ugly Betty put out by ABC, I think I may even like the mini-”Webisodes” even more.  Check it out:

The webisode tells the story of Marc and Mandy after an unsuccessful night out partying, stuck at Mode without cab fare.  Amanda goes to steal Betty’s subway tokens and finds an extra pair of “Betty” glasses.  That’s when they decide to mock first Betty, then Daniel.
I’ll say it right now: Becki Newton is absolutely HOT in Betty glasses.  As Craig Ferguson said about a certain vice presidential candidate, Becki has that “naughty …read more

This is hi – larious!  Michael Urie and Becki Newton recently did a “behind the scenes at Mode” video for Elle Magazine, in their Ugly Betty characters.  The results were, of course, very funny:

It’s a little weird that Newton seems to have the mic, meaning many times that it’s hard to hear Urie, but I guess that just adds to the homemade “realism”.
The absolute best part is when Amanda sits in the big chair and “acts like a doll”.  The tour of WIlhelmia’s office is funny all around.  It recreates a little of that magic from “Four Thanksgivings and a …read more

 First of all, I want to make clear that last night’s Ugly Betty, episode 2.12, Odor In the Court, was one of my favorite episodes, ever.  Seeing Betty go berzerk was side-splitting funny.  I loved how, for this one episode, Micheal Urie, Marc Indelicato, Ana  Ortiz, and Eric Mabius all got to play the “straight man” to Betty’s craziness.  America Ferrera is one great comedic actress.  As EOnline’s Kristin (actually, Korbi) said: “These are the moments that Emmys are made of…”
Having said that, there were a few moments that made me say, “Yeah, but what about…?”  I’m not the type that demands …read more

There were so many great moments in this past week’s episode of Ugly Betty (episode 2.11 “Zero Worship”), it’s near impossible to fit them all into the weekly poll.  I’ve highlighted my favorite moments, but I put a “something else” option, because it’s really impossible to fit them all in.  Here were my favorites this week:

Wilhemina’s “welcome mat”.  Ahem.  Took me a couple of days to figure it out, when Marc mentioned something about Wilhelmina having a “welcome mat” and she said, ”I haven’t had a welcome mat since the 90’s”.   Or something like that.  Naughty, naughty.  But hi-larious!
Marc “comforting” Christina.  Christina, …read more

Here is the second video sneak peek released by ABC for Ugly Betty episode 2.12 ,”Odor in the Court”. In this one, Wilhelmina and Marc offer Christina 100K in exchange for her carrying Wilhelmina’s baby. I absolutely love it when Christina gets to do that “Betty stare”. You know the one – the “I can’t believe you just said that, you idiot!” stare.

Plus, her melodramatic line at the end is priceless. And, Marc seamlessly switching in and out of a Scottish accent is hilarious.
