EOnline’s Kristin was at ABC’s big bash for the TCAs, and she had this wonderful interview with Becki Newton and Micheal Urie, crashed by Vanessa Williams about Ugly Betty season 3.
Newton and Urie must be a handful on the set - they seem to be constantly joking around. I think that’s what makes them […]

I’ve been trying to figure out what to make of this video ABC put on their site in the Ugly Betty page, where the character Betty Suarez asks Madonna for an autographed CD for Justin.

Here is the official Ugly Betty podcast released by ABC, which corresponds to the season finale (episode 2.18 - Jump). As usual, Becki Newton and Michael Urie are just adorable together.
I absolutely loved when Urie asked Naomi Campbell to confirm that she does not, in fact, have super powers.
Naomi also enters the Benry/Getty debates. […]

There’s a pretty fascinating article in the LA Times by TV critic Mary McNamara.

Here is the second, more substantive video sneak peek for Ugly Betty episode 2.18 (Jump) - which is the show’s season finale. A WHOLE lot in the romantic department happens in this video.
I love Ignacio’s reaction (pretty much what would be my reaction). I also love Justin’s “I’ll get the recap later” after […]

ABC president Stephen McPherson unveiled the 2008-2009 fall schedule for the network, and there aren’t a whole lot of changes.
“We’re returning our dominant core group of shows from last fall,” said McPherson. “The few openings we had we’ve filled with the kind of quality programming viewers have come to expect from ABC, and […]

Most of the crew of Ugly Betty, losing their jobs by the show’s relocation to New York, are placing a full-page ad in Variety, asking state and Los Angeles officials to take action to ensure more productions are filmed locally. According to Nikki Finke at DeadlineHollywood.com, not only are the crew buying the ad, […]
