Ugly Betty Stars Shine at ‘Save The Children’ Event

The stars of Ugly Betty had a busy time yesterday, traveling to two different events:  A Special Evening With Ugly Betty, hosted by Times Talks, and a fundraiser for Save the Children, hosted by Esquire and America Ferrera.  Here are some pics from the latter.

America looks GREAT, and she’s really got this red carpet thing down (thanks to time and Vanessa Williams).  America is wearing a black Moshino safety pin-embellished crepe dress paired with gold peep-toes.
Speaking of Vanessa:

The lady can still bring it in this LBD.  Check out the two-toned shoes!
Becki Newton was there.  She wears this …read more

More About Ugly Betty’s UN Malaria Crusade

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

Happy (belated) Birthday, Tony Plana!

Happy (belated) Birthday, Tony Plana!

Ugly Betty patriarch Tony Plana celebrated a birthday yesterday (I wonder if he and America Ferrera, whose birthday is April 18th,  have a mutual celebration each year?).
Plana was born in Havana, Cuba in 1953.  In 1963, his family moved to Miami. He is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University and was trained in acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, UK. He has been married to actress Ada Maris since 1988 and they have two children.
Plana has been an outspoken advocate/spokesperson for Latinos in the entertainment field.
I will say this, and I’m pretty sure that many …read more

Pics of Tony Plana At Inaugural Gala

Pics of Tony Plana At Inaugural Gala

Today is an historic day in the United States. It would be if it were any presidential inauguration (sometimes we overlook how miraculous it is to have a peaceful transfer of power every 4 or 8 years). Of course, history looms extra-large over this inauguration with the swearing in of America’s first African American persident.
I’ve been wondering if any Ugly Betty stars made it down to Washington DC for the festivities, and what do you know? The first one I find is Tony Plana, who attended Sunday’s Voto Latino Inaugural Party.

Ugly Betty Preview Party: The Men

Ugly Betty Preview Party: The Men

They held a Preview Party for Ugly Betty season 3 on Monday, and, let’s just say a few folks showed up. We’ve got so many pics of the event, I thought it might be a good idea to show them in two posts: one of the men, one of the women. How ’bout we start with the men?
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(420,574,107998,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()

Mark Indelicato is growing up FAST. I want to say I ‘get’ the shirt, but…

Photos of Ugly Betty Cast At ALMA Awards And After-Party

Here are some pics of America Ferrera, Tony Plana, Ana Ortiz, and Mark Indelicato at the 2008 ALMA awards, and subsequent after party this past weekend. 

As reported, Ugly Betty did quite well in the awards that recognize positive portrayals of Latinos in the entertainment field. 
Now, of course Ortiz and Ferrera were absolutely gorgeous, as usual.  And Plana is always classy and dignified.  But, I can’t get over how smooth the young Indelicato looks.  He wears the dark suit very well!
Ugly Betty, including its creators Salma Hayek and Silvio Horta, deserve all the kudos they’ve been receiving.

Video: Tony Plana and Mark Indelicato Interview

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

More Pics Of Ugly Betty Cast At Alzheimer’s Benefit

Here’s the final set of photos of the Ugly Betty cast at the Alzheimer’s benefit “A Night at Sardi’s” in Hollywood on Wednesday. Let’s get to the MEN, shall we?
Mark Indelicato looks cool (although he’s so skinny I think David Blue needs to take that boy out for a few cheeseburgers), Tony Plana looks CLASSIC, we’ve already seen that David Blue cleans up pretty good, and chris Gorham is quite hansdsome here.

Many In Ugly Betty Cast Help Alzheimer’s Association

Ugly Betty’s David Blue, Mark Indelicato, Ana Ortiz, Tony Plana, and Vanessa Williams were scheduled to appear in the 16th Annual Weekend At Sardi’s tonight. This year’s entertainment was “Selections from Bye Bye Birdie”. It was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
I guess since the cast didn’t get to participate in the musical episode this year, this is the next best thing.
If photos of the event surface, of course I will post them here.
Special hat tip goes to David Blue, who posted about this at …read more

Tony Plana on Food Network this Weekend

Tony Plana on Food Network this Weekend

Ugly Betty’s Tony Plana (who we hope to see a little more in the coming episodes) will be appearing on Food Network this weekend.  He’ll be the guest on Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann this coming Saturday, February 16.  Chek your local listings.
Plana’s character, Betty’s father Ignatio, is a great cook (a man after my own heart), it will be awesome if Plana knows his way around the kitchen in real life.  It would appear he does.  This episode of Simply Delicioso revolves around Hoffmann and Plana preparing dinner for friends who are joining them to watch TV.
Recipes include Black …read more
