Here is a little more in-depth preview of Ugly Betty episode 4.03, Blue On Blue, airing tonight on ABC at 9/8c. (Hat tip – BuddyTV).  All of this info has been floating around piecemeal, but BTV is the first place I’ve seen it all summarized in one place.
Betty is going to try to get a scoop in her new job as features editor at Mode: 
She goes all out in her pursuit of Gucci’s fresh designer, Evan York (Hamish Linklater) but she needs help.  Enter Hilda, and her well-connected customer Sammy (Adam Ferrara).
Marc, of course, is still angry with Betty …read more

Want to know what’s going on with Ugly Betty after this week’s episode 4.03, Blue on Blue?  Here are the titles and synopses for episodes 4.04 and 4.05 (hat tip SpoilerTV).
Episode 4.04 is entitled "The Wiener, the Bun and the Boob". (Heh).  The synopsis:
Betty is overwhelmed with her editorial work, so Wilhemina assigns Marc to be Betty’s temporary assistant. Betty’s story idea to cover the worst jobs in New York goes south when she has to dress up as a hot dog and do a Bollywood dance number. Meanwhile, Marc frets that he’ll never be taken seriously by his …read more

TV Guide has a good write-up about the upcoming Ugly Betty season 4 premiere and it’s tie-in with the United Nations-sponsored program Nothing But Nets.
The show cross-promotes the program in a very creative way, with Betty proposing a story about it in mode, complete with a mosquito-net-clothing photo shoot.  I would imagine some kind of (real) appeal is going to be aired during or immediately after the show as well.
The show’s stars recently appeared at the UN promoting the program (and the episode) in person.
"It’s really a perfect marriage," said Judith Light. "Betty Suarez is a person who has …read more

Here is another sneak peek of the Ugly Betty season four 2-hour premiere, airing October 16th on ABC.

(Once again, sorry to you folks outside the US for the restrictions)
This one is set at the end of Betty’s awful, horrible first day.  She heads into the steam room in Mode’s gym (in case this is lost on us, the wonderful UB set department puts “STEAM” in huge letters on the doors).
Betty lies down, but her moment of peace and quiet is interrupted by Wilhelmina, who has also come for some steam.  Willi, knowing about Betty’s day, informs her that if Betty …read more

Here are some photos of America Ferrera and Becki Newton filming scenes for Ugly Betty on location at Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

America and Becki raced down the challenger slides at at the humongous water resort.  This looks like so much fun.  This was from an actual scene, and not just the two playing around, I believe, because Ferrera is “wearing” her braces, and you almost never see her with braces on unless she’s in character.
As you can see, Betty isn’t exactly wearing a string bikini (neither is Amanda for that matter).  They are both wearing proper waterslide attire, …read more

Although most of the buzz about Ugly Betty lately has been about the October 9 season premiere or the November sweeps Bahamas episode, the show is still filming other episodes.  Here are some photos of recent shooting in New York City.  This is a scene with Vanessa Williams and Michael Urie.

You’ll notice in some of these pics that Marc (Urie) looks worried or hard-pressed, and Wilhelmina (Williams) seems angry.  In a way, this is a good thing.  If Wilhelmina looked happy and cheerful, something would definitely be wrong.  The last thing we need is a contented or happy Willi.
In …read more

Ugly Betty is once again is TV Guide’s MegaBuzz post, and they verify something many of us suspected since last season’s finale:
How soon before we discover the identity of Willi’s mystery visitor on Ugly Betty? — Jamie MICKEY [O'connor]: You won’t have to wait very long at all actually, but you may not recognize him or her after the big reveal. In this case, though, it’s not the who that’s important, it’s the why, and it marks the beginning of a storyline that spotlights Willi’s special talent for deception.
***WARNING: SPOILER-LIKE SUBSTANCE …read more

As promised, here are some set photos of America Ferrera on location filming Ugly Betty. 

A couple of small children, who are quite adorable, joined Ferrera as she exited the trailer.  I don’t think they are part of the shoot – but they sure are cute.
America, in the deep red coat, is beautiful and stylish (love the butterfly pin). I THINK the photos I’ve included with Ferrera totally in costume are from the same shoot.  The shoes, scarf, and gloves “Betty-fy” the outfit, although much more subtlety than in the past (especially Ugly Betty season 3).  Of course, in …read more

Here are some photos of Becki Newton and Judith Light rehearsing lines at a location shoot for Ugly Betty.

Help me out here.  I can’t seem to remember a Claire / Amanda scene before in any of the first three seasons, except maybe just in passing.  Or am I forgetting a scene they had together?  (Notwithstanding Odor in the Court, in which Amanda withheld evidence that exonerated Claire)  I’m curious to see what this is all about.  Maybe Claire is trying to get information from Amanda about something Marc and Wilhelmina are doing?
Or, even more intriguing – the two have …read more

  Ugly Betty gets a mention in TV Guide’s Mega buzz:
Will Daniel have another girlfriend when Ugly Betty returns? — Michael MICKEY [O'Connor]: Not exactly. A woman he meets at a bereavement class will become his assistant… and confidante. And what will this Betty substitute look like? She’ll look like Entourage’s Jamie Lynn Sigler, but with a twist. "You won’t recognize me in my hair and makeup," Sigler hints. "It’s kind of a disguise." I’m seeing braces and a poncho, and I hope to Suarez I’m wrong.
First of all, what the heck is with …read more
