Just Jared has some pics of America Ferrera checking her cell phone during a break in filming Ugly Betty.  Is this the new Betty?
As you can see, she is gorgeous, as exemplified by this one.  One of the photos is zoomed out a little, and you can see most of Betty’s coordinated outfit.  Yes, her clothes are no longer a fashionable but clashy mish-mash. 
She is striking, and almost indistinguishable from the glamorous Ferrera who graced the cover of Seventeen Magazine (shown above).
But, is this really Betty, or just America being her usual beautiful self?  This pic is zoomed in a …read more

There is an interesting take on Ugly Betty in this article at Soap Opera Digest (hat tip: Angel25).  The writer, Michael Karol, both loves the show and has major problems with it at the same time.
Let me tell you about my love/hate affair with UGLY BETTY. On the one hand, it’s colorful, often hysterically funny, beautifully shot (in high-def) on location in my favorite city, New York, and is set within the publishing industry, something I know a little bit about, having worked on magazines all my adult life.
On the other hand it’s infuriating: sad, bittersweet and repetitive. …read more

It sure looks like Silvio Horta is going to keep his word, and keep the ‘heart’ in the show.
Spoilers after the jump!

Can’t get enough Betty? Now you can have your very own Betty Suarez doll from Madame Alexander.

There are two dolls in the collection – a cloth doll and a traditonal Madame Alexander doll. I really like the traditional, but those generally do not show the subject smiling, so we can’t see those wonderful braces of Betty’s. The cloth doll has the braces in all their glory.

Here’s something interesting: apparently, there is a Madame Alexander Desperate Housewives collection as well.
There is obviously a whole world of collectible dolls out there I knew nothing about.  :)

There are some interesting things afoot for our favorite Ugly Betty characters, and also for former cast member Alan Dale (Bradford) !
Chris Gorham, who plays TV’s hottest nerd, Henry, recently talked about the Betty/Henry relationship in an interview at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. He said, “Well, I’m such a fan of Betty that I just want her to be happy. I think she’s very happy right now, but they have some tough times coming up, because that baby’s comin’ out, and it’s Henry’s baby.”
I wish someone would ask him why Henry doesn’t sue for custody, (it would make for …read more
