Based on these set photos of America Ferrera and Daniel Eric Gold filming scenes for Ugly Betty, I think it’s safe to say that in some upcoming episode of the show, Betty and Matt will be at the very least, friendly.

This looks like a date to me, and one that’s going well.  But, this could just be a friendly walk, such as we’ve seen Betty take with Daniel many times.
They seem to be walking around somewhere Betty knows, because she’s pointing out something to Matt.

I LOVE these red coats that Betty has been wearing, it is a very …read more

Here are some photos of America Ferrera filming scenes for Ugly Betty in Lower Manhattan.

Two things stand out: Betty looks more stylish than ever, and she seems kind of flummoxed.
I like the pink empire-waisted thing (is that considered a coat?  a sweater?  Forgive me, I’m showing my fashion ignorance.  To me, a coat should have buttons.  )  The hat is a nice touch, as well.  The only “Betty-fied” part of her outfit is the purse, which really stands out.

Betty seems upset about something – but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot …read more

Usually, when we fans want to compliment something about an episode of Ugly Betty, we say it was “season 1 – worthy”.
But, last nights season 4 premiere, episode 4.01 (and 4.02), “The Butterfly Effect” was wonderful, yet I think saying “it was like season 1” would be an insult.
The show is growing up a little.  “The Butterfly Effect” was enjoyable for reasons all its own.  My favorites?

Betty’s transformation.  So, they aren’t handling it with a Nanny McFee subtlety, but this is television.  I loved how Betty played with her bangs the entire episode, as if she was subconsciously …read more

The stars of Ugly Betty had a busy time yesterday, traveling to two different events:  A Special Evening With Ugly Betty, hosted by Times Talks, and a fundraiser for Save the Children, hosted by Esquire and America Ferrera.  Here are some pics from the latter.

America looks GREAT, and she’s really got this red carpet thing down (thanks to time and Vanessa Williams).  America is wearing a black Moshino safety pin-embellished crepe dress paired with gold peep-toes.
Speaking of Vanessa:

The lady can still bring it in this LBD.  Check out the two-toned shoes!
Becki Newton was there.  She wears this …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

TV Guide, in their Fall Preview section, has a photo gallery of TV couples they would like to see hook up.  Or, as they put it:  “15 TV Duos Who Should Do It”.  Well.  No subtlety there.  I’m surprised they didn’t throw in the phrase “Tap That”. 
Anyway, Ugly Betty made the list.  Not surprisingly, the suggested hook up is a Detty hook up.  As their caption (submitted by a fan) to a photo of Daniel and Betty says, “I know [creator Silvio Horta] is saying no, but the fans say yes. I kind of thought it was …read more

I don’t know how long this is going to be available, so watch this NOW!!!!!

This is video from early in season four of Ugly Betty, maybe the 2-hour premiere.  If this is any indication of what the season is going to be like, Ugly Betty is going to be BACK in a big way!
(The video doesn’t start for a few few seconds, but stick with it)
This is the partially made-over Betty, looking pretty darned good, IMHO.  But, we don’t get too much of a chance to look at her, because this is one crazy dream sequence.  The entire Mode staff …read more

Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera recently rekindled the Sisterhood, joining Traveling Pants costars Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel at the release party for Tamblyn’s new book, “Bang Ditto”. 
<p
Amber’s book is a collection of poetry and prose about about her observations on life in Hollywood. This book exposes a lot of Amber’s personal feelings and experiences.
Amber pulls no punches in her characterization of young life in Hollywood:
We’d all love to stop eating the poisonous parts of our wildness.
I cannot imagine America Ferrera not liking this book, whether it was written by her friend or not.  …read more

Here are some more revealing (in more ways than one) set photos from this week’s filming of Ugly Betty.  After all, I promised you a pic of Michael Urie as a hot dog bun.
But there’s more – apparently America Ferrera’s Betty was made to do all sorts of, shall we say, interesting things that day.

Pulling a rickshaw with Marc and some couple of substantial girth?  Is this some sort of initiation?  Possibly.  At first I thought it was the case that Marc had some power over Betty – he had something she wanted or had info she didn’t want …read more

The ALMA Award nominations were announced yesterday, and a quirk of fate caused an interesting matchup to occur.  Ugly Betty Executive Producer Salma Hayek is nominated in the Best Actress in a TV Comedy category for her work on 30 Rock.
Guess who else is nominated in this category?  Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera and Ana Ortiz. 
Will Ferrera lose once again to someone on 30 Rock?    Just kidding.  Hayek was VERY funny on 30 Rock and would deserve the award if she wins.
There’s no TV Movie Drama category, or certainly Ortiz would have been nominated for her …read more
