Heads up, Ugly Betty fans! According to ABC, the beautiful black blouse worn by Amanda (Becki Newton) on tonight’s episode is going to be autioned off by the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation. It was designed specifically for Newton by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, who guest stars on the episode.
OK, so I made fun of it a little (saying it heralded in the return of the poofy blouse), but that was before I knew I could buy it for my wife! As a reminder, it’s what Amanda is wearing in this video:

The blouse will be on …read more

Ugly Betty’s Tony Plana and Mark Indelicato recently spoke with ETOnline, and of course, we’ve got the video!
There are no true spoilers in the interview (they talk about Christian Siriano, Nina Garcia, and Eddie Cibrian, who will be guest starring). However, it’s nice to see Indelicato in an interview – he really interviews well for such a young man. And of course, Tony Plana is a classic.
Plana says that Siriano is just the start: next season there will be more designers on the show, and for many of them, a line will debut on Ugly Betty! What …read more

Here is the second sneak peek video relased by ABC for Ugly Betty episode 2.15, Burning Questions. There is SO much going on in just this this short video clip!

I think the part with Daniel and Christian Siriano is not only funny, it’s a good-natured dig at every media writer in the world (including yours truly), who used the word “fierce” in stories about Siriano’s appearance. Yes, it was lame, but it was just too tempting. Believe me, I search the world’s media for stories about Ugly Betty. I can tell you, rare was the writer …read more

Mr Siriano holds forth. He does command a room, does he not?

Image details: Christian Siriano Dinner served by picapp.com
So, have you seen the “First Look” article in People Magazine’s TV Watch section about Christian Siriano’s appearance on Ugly Betty? The more I hear about this, the more I want to see it.
This is how they are going to work Siriano into the plot: Mode magazine is trying to convince Christian to work with them for a fashion spread instead of their competitors. (If they mention Elle by name, it would be SOOOOO catty!)
So the designer shows up for a meeting with an entourage of models wearing his designs …read more

ABC has confirmed that Project Runway winner Christian Siriano will indeed make an appearance on Ugly Betty. But it gets better. According to the release by ABC, Runway judge and Elle Magazine fashion director Nina Garcia will pay a visit to the show in the same episode!
They will film in April, and the episode will air sometime during May sweeps.
I’m sure it will be entirely too irresistable to keep Siriano’s storyline from merging with Alexis; if there ever was a “tranny mess”, well, Alexis is it!
Could it be …read more
