I’m pretty sure when Nina Garcia signed to guest star on Ugly Betty, she was still fashion director at Elle Magazine. It’s my understanding that this week’s episode (2.15 – Burning Questions) has the magazine as part of the plot.

Now, new details are starting to come out about the Ugly Betty season finale, and once again, they involve Elle.

Editor Robbie Myers and creative director Joe Zee are going to appear in the season finale. They will be a part of the big intra-company softball game. As we’ve reported, Naomi Campbell will be playing on the Elle team. This has the makings to be a very special episode. It also gives me an idea for future episodes:

Since they’ve incorporated a real-life magazine into the plot, why not kick it up a notch in season 3? I envision a hostile takeover attempt, with the Mode gang hanging on for dear life without Bradford or Alexis to guide them. All could seem lost until an Elle photographer takes some suggestive photos of a 15-year-old tween idol, causing an uproar and killing the merger. Cliff St Paul could then save the day by providing the superstar with a more wholesome photoshoot.

Say, isn’t Miley Cyrus still under contract with Disney/ABC?

Call me, Silvio.

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 who resisted temptation to use the ‘F’ word.

Based on this clip, I can’t figure out what Rebecca Romjin is upset about concerning her character. She seems to be the only person in the room with any savvy. Doesn’t that reflect well on her?

Becki Newton steals the scene without saying a word. As usual.

I love how they tied Renee’s unraveling with Siriano and Nina Garcia’s appearances. The writers seem to be on their game!

This is apparently going to be a very, very stressful week for Daniel all around.

• Return of the poofy blouse. (Rebecca Romijn does not look pregnant here!)
• Amanda strike a pose as Christian takes off his cape.
• Renee bursts in.
• Daniel doesn’t look too happy.
• More of an uncomfortable Daniel.
• “Nice to meet you“. Amanda is still posing?
• Mr Siriano holds forth. He does command a room, does he not?
• Siriano, Romijn, and the models. I may have to take back my whole “Rebecca is pregnant” statement.
• Black is the new black. Christian wears it well.
• There’s a million things going on in this photo. Amanda appears to be shocked. Nina Garcia and Alexis appear to be discussing good news. Renee and Daniel appear to still be arguing.
• Siriano making an exit. Amanda either looks unhappy or very intense.
• I dont know about you, but it looks like Christian is about to say something catty in this photo. I’ll lay money down that he’s calling Alexis a tranny mess.

All in all, it appears there is going to be a lot going on in this episode, and I can’t WAIT!

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 and Runway judge Nina Garcia (soon to be former Elle fashion director), who also plays herself on the episode.

“Filming Ugly Betty was amazing,” Siriano, 22, said. “The cast was the most fun, lively and supportive ever.”

About the cast of Ugly Betty: “Ooooh, they’re as fierce and ferocious as they can be,” raves Siriano. “Vanessa Williams is the queen of fierceness and Becki Newton is the princess … I’m inviting them all to my Spring 2008-09 collection — it’ll be a great front row!”

The “sneak” photos are pretty exciting in their own right. It just gives me the giggles seeing how the models and Vanessa Williams tower over the petite Siriano. And apparently he’s designed “the new black”.

The outfit he designed for Becki Newton…it’s a litte ‘out there’, but it seems to fit her personality perfectly.

So, are you looking forward to seeing Siriano (and Nina Garcia)?
