Here is the full recap of Ugly Betty episode 3.21, The Born Identity.  Some quick thoughts:

This was a very good episode.  I thought the writers and actors were really on top of their game.
What is it about this show?  Except for Gio, every exiting cast member found out he/she had a child right before leaving the show.  It’s just a weird coincidence, I guess.
It’s funny that this is the first episode in which Stuart was truly likeable from beginning to end.

ABC is slowly joining the online content race by penning a deal with Veoh Networks to stream full episodes of its programming.  This has the potential to be awesome (with a few caveats, which I’ll get to shortly).
Veoh, privately funded company, which like rival YouTube,  began as a user-generated video Web site, already has deals with CBS, Viacom and Warner Bros.  Veoh will also have highlights and clips from ESPN (awesome!)
So, what’s the caveat?  Veoh has to use the ABC-branded media player; it is in no way embedded.  I tried it out, and clicking on an episode (so far, …read more

I swear, Ugly Betty’s Rebecca Romjin and husband Jerry O’Connell are the funniest couple in America.  First came the very strange parody of the Tom Cruise Scientology video (the parody went viral and made O’Connell an internet superstar).  Now, the two have teamed up to parody another internet superstar, Australian party boy Corey Worthington.  Worthington achieved international stardom because he threw the greatest teen party ever while his parents were on holiday, causing $20K in damage.  More specifically, Corey became a superstar because of this interview, where he either pwns the interviewer or acts like a little snot, depending …read more

Lookie what just came in my mailbox! This week’s TV Guide has a magnificent cover story about Ugly Betty Episode 2.07, “A Nice Day For a Posh Wedding”.  Many of the photos we’ve already shown you here, but the cover and story photos are splendid.

For those of you, like me, who have been following these things closely, if you read between the lines, there are some confirmations of spoilers we have been guessing about (who dies, etc).
Scans after the jump!

As posted on ABC.com, here is the “making of” video for the Ugly Betty season 2 promo aired last night. It is based on the Mika song “Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)” – which I had never heard before, but now I love it. He re-recorded the lyrics to be about Betty, and they are very well written, I must say.
The actual promo can be watched here. It makes me quite psyched for season 2!
Pssst – notice there’s no Santos (Kevin Alejandro) . One more reason to think he’s dead.
As promised, here …read more
