So, join us – I’ll be starting the live blog right before 8pm EDT.

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 official Ugly Betty podcast released by ABC, which corresponds to the season finale (episode 2.18 – Jump). As usual, Becki Newton and Michael Urie are just adorable together.

I absolutely loved when Urie asked Naomi Campbell to confirm that she does not, in fact, have super powers.
Naomi also enters the Benry/Getty debates. I won’t give it away, but she chooses one. Of course, she’s dealing in hypotheticals, so take it with a grain of salt.
It’s pretty neat that those very, very interesting shoes that Campbell wears are there at her request. Also, she seems …read more

Believe it or not, there’s other things going on in the Ugly Betty season finale (episode 2.18 – “Jump”) than the hyper-reported appearance by Lindsay Lohan. (Seriously, if you doubt that the casting of Lohan will be a ratings bonanza, just pay attention to web postings; it’s unreal!).
Most importantly, it would appear that the GioBenry love triangle is going to come to a head in this episode. ABC released the synopsis today, and the hints we’ve had the last few weeks seem to be leading to a major cliff-hanger:
Just as Gio makes Betty an incredibly romantic offer, …read more

This is the height of awesomness. They recently filmed the softball game sequence for the season finale of Ugly Betty (episode 2.18). Ugly Betty News has behind the scenes photos of the filming! And, of course, there’s a spoiler or two, so I’m putting most of them after the jump.

It should be no surprise that the uniforms for both teams are absolutely beautiful. Beautiful and softball, they just don’t seem to go together, do they? The designers on the set, both costume and set designers, have discovered the use of orange as an accent color.

It’s official: supermodel Naomi Campbell will appear in the Ugly Betty season 2 finale. This will be the episode with the company softball game – and should be an absolute hoot. A representative for ABC confirmed Wednesday that Campbell would play herself.
Becki Newton says, “She’s going to be in our last episode, which is exciting. I’ve personally requested that I don’t stand next to her because Amanda would not like to be seen with such a tall, pretty person.”
Of course, that’s ridiculous, but there’s no denying Campbell has some …read more
