TV Guide has a good write-up about the upcoming Ugly Betty season 4 premiere and it’s tie-in with the United Nations-sponsored program Nothing But Nets.
The show cross-promotes the program in a very creative way, with Betty proposing a story about it in mode, complete with a mosquito-net-clothing photo shoot.  I would imagine some kind of (real) appeal is going to be aired during or immediately after the show as well.
The show’s stars recently appeared at the UN promoting the program (and the episode) in person.
"It’s really a perfect marriage," said Judith Light. "Betty Suarez is a person who has …read more

Here are some photos of Becki Newton and Judith Light rehearsing lines at a location shoot for Ugly Betty.

Help me out here.  I can’t seem to remember a Claire / Amanda scene before in any of the first three seasons, except maybe just in passing.  Or am I forgetting a scene they had together?  (Notwithstanding Odor in the Court, in which Amanda withheld evidence that exonerated Claire)  I’m curious to see what this is all about.  Maybe Claire is trying to get information from Amanda about something Marc and Wilhelmina are doing?
Or, even more intriguing – the two have …read more

Michael Urie isn’t the only Ugly Betty cast member starring in a stage production this summer.  Judith Light, who plays the show’s matriarch Claire, is currently starring in A.R. Gurney’s “Children, and the Boston Globe has a very enlightening article about it.
Apparently, in the late 90’s, Light had fallen into a kind of rut, pretty much only working TV pilots and movies of the week.  She had turned down part in a play that she felt she wasn’t a right fit for, and her longtime manager, Herb Hamsher, challenged her about it and accused her of running scared from …read more

EW’s Ausiello has some interesting Ugly Betty casting news in his Ask Ausiello post today, and he takes it in an intriguing direction. First, the actual spoiler:
Betty is casting the recurring role of Richard Hartley, a fiftysomething Ted Turner-type and the father of Betty’s new love, Matt (Daniel Eric Gold).
I’ll get to Ausiello’s specualtion about this in a minute. But first, the more obvious analysis. I think it’s safe to say that Matt is not going to be another drive-by love for Betty (3 or less episodes, like Jesse). They are casting around the Matt …read more

We’d like to wish a happy birthday to Judith Light of Ugly Betty. Judith is one of our favorite actors, whether in Ugly Betty or in other projects. Today happens to be one of those cool “rounded” birthdays, as well. I hope she doesn’t mind if I tell you that today is Judith’s 60th birthday!
Light has, since her first appearance in season 1, brought a certain “seasoning” to the show. Where Tony Plana has been a grounding force, Light has added the other end of the spectrum. Her character Claire is world-weary, with a touch …read more

Here a MORE pics of the Ugly Betty cast at the premiere of Shrek The Musical. This time it’s the women, specifically America Ferrera and Judith Light.

I don’t know if many of you will agree with me, but I think this is a GREAT look for Ferrera. The pattern is just cool (She’s worn something similar before). Notice the eye-catching part of the dress is in the center. You fashionistas will have to explain WHY this works, but it’s extremely flattering on America. Now, for Judith Light:

I Love, love, LOVE this look on Judith. Part Ellen, Part Elvis, it just looks right on Light. It seems like the kind of outfit they’d feature in Hot Flash.
As an aside, did they ever decide the final fate of Hot Flash on Ugly Betty? As I recall, Alexis was planning on killing it, but never quite did, and Connor later …read more

As I recently told you, Ugly Betty’s Judith Light was at the 36th Annual International Emmy Awards. On the red carpet, she spoke of an upcoming spark in Claire’s love life.
Here are some photos of Light at the event.

This is a beautiful, sophisticated look for Judith.
Considering how quickly (in Betty time) Hilda bounced back from the loss of Santos, I’d say it’s time for Claire to get a little love in her life. And what self-respecting man of mature age would not go for this absolutely beautiful woman?
Yes, there …read more

Image details: Bebe Spring Ad Campaign Announcement With Rebecca Romijn served by picapp.com

As you’ve probably heard, Rebecca Romijn recently made some comments to the New York Post about taking a smaller role on Ugly Betty. The headlines about this have been all over the place. I’ve seen that she’s “quitting”, or that she’s being “fired”, or any other number of things. When we look at what she actually said, we know none of these are true.
(Full disclosure – I made a big deal out of the possibility that Romijn might be pregnant. I obviously was mistaken, …read more
