Here is video from TVGuide’s retrospective on the Biggest TV Moments of 2008. In part one, Ugly Betty makes the list at number 12.

It’s interesting to me, the moment they picked was the climatic confrontation between Wilhelmina and Kimmie in episode 3.06, Ugly Berry. I remember being surprised that Ugly Betty fans really weren’t interested in the whole Ugly Betty / Lindsay Lohan drama, and the ratings were only nominally helped. But, the entertainment press is going to choose a Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears moment every time, especially if it involves conflict.
For me, the best Ugly …read more

Welcome to the weekly craziness here at Ugly Betty News, where we watch and react to new Ugly Betty episodes! This week’s episode is entitled Ugly Berry:
Betty finds herself competing with Kimmie (guest star Lindsay Lohan) who finally shows her true colors, and new citizen Ignacio prepares to vote for the first time. Meanwhile Hilda takes advantage of the increased election traffic to promote her shop, and Wilhelmina wants to hire a new financial officer (guest star Grant Bowler) whom Daniel can’t stand.
This will prove to be a doozy. Can’t wait to see Betty “knock her down” !

Some members of the cast of Ugly Betty (including guest star Lindsay Lohan), attended the New York premiere of Madonna’s directorial debut movie Filth and Wisdom. In attendance were America Ferrera, Judith Light, Vanessa Williams, and Becki Newton.

A girls’ night out, it appears.
Filth and Wisdom was filmed on location in London, England. It is a comedy/drama/musical/romance, the story revolves around a Ukrainian immigrant named A.K. (Hütz) who finances his dreams of rock glory by moonlighting as a cross-dressing dominatrix and his two female flatmates: Holly (Weston), a ballet dancer who works as a stripper …read more

As previously promised, here are photos of the women at the Ugly Betty season 3 preview party, held this past Monday at Highbar in New York. Everyone looked spectacular – there were no ‘misses’ at all, IMHO.

The star of the show, America Ferrera, looking perky and sweet in this floral dress. She really is The All American Girl.

Becki Newton looking stylish and playful. Has she grown out her hair? Extensions, maybe? We need to ask Vanessa Williams, who is not shy on giving away Hollywood’s beauty secrets. …read more

Lindsay Lohan and America Ferrera recently shot a new scene at a high school in Queens, and this one is obviously a flashback!

LiLo donned a cheerleader outfit (what is it with Ugly Betty and cheerleaders?).  Now, Lohan is young enough to pull off a high school flashback (for that matter, so is Ferrera), but her lifestyle is starting to show on her face a little, so to me, it looks a little “not quite right”.  But maybe, that’s what the producers were going for here.

There is also a pic of Ferrera in an absolutely hideous outfit; you can see that …read more

As promised, here are photos of Lindsay Lohan on the set of Ugly Betty.

As expected, Lohan’s character, Kimberly (I’ve also seen it as “Kimmie”) is working at a fast food restaurant. Some captions have described this scene as a fight between Lohan and America Ferrera (or rather, their characters). Indeed, in one of the photos, you can barely see Ferrera inside the restaurant, Lohan outside, and what looks like milkshake all over the just-closed door.
Apparently Betty and Kimberly aren’t getting off to the best of starts.
It’s good to see some of the Lilo filming …read more

At the recent TCAs, TV Guide’s Matt Mitovich caught up with Michael Urie and Becki Newton. As usual, the two are hilarious together. Watch till the end:

I’ve seen Urie and Newton perform thier “Lohan” song (an ode to Lindsay Lohan) quite a few times, and this is the best one of all. I love how they take the craziness that is the Lohan circus with a dose of humor.
A hornet attacks Becki Newton in the video, and they answer a few more questions about being in New York.
If “Beckael” doesn’t land a spinoff at the end of …read more

Transcript, when available, after the jump.

David Hinkley of the NY Daily News has screened the Ugly Betty finale (giving it four out of five stars), and he drops in a few more hints about what will happen.
Now, Hinkley doesn’t reveal anything new about content, but method. He makes it clear that Lindsay Lohan’s appearance is very brief. I figured it would be, there just wasn’t enough time, and the creative reason for her appearance in this season’s finale is for introduction only.
(One nitpick thing I’d like to add. In the high school flashback scenes, Ameri-Betty has perfect teeth. OK, I know …read more

Here is the first sneak peek of the season finale, episode 2.18 (Jump) of Ugly Betty. It’s our first view of Lindsay Lohan on the show, and in her short stint here, she doesn’t disappoint.

So I was wrong, it isn’t a musical number.
There have always been elements of hit movies in Ugly Betty, (starting, of course, with The Devil Wears Prada), and now I guess it’s time for Mean Girls. THis is pretty funny, and sets up what I hope are going to be some interesting scenes and flashbacks next year. I still think Lohan’s …read more
