If the producers of Ugly Betty wanted to increase interest by whipping up controversy about the show’s romantic endgame, well, executive producer Silvo Horta put an end to it rather quickly.
(and foolishly, IMHO)
According to TV Guide Magazine, Horta wants to reunite Betty and Henry (Christopher Gorham), if indeed season four is the final season.  Guide says Horta believes Henry "is the true love of Betty’s life."
Hey, I’m just the messenger here. 
Let me first say this:  I don’t think a Benry pairing would be the worst ever ending for the show (that would be if they …read more

TV Guide, in their Fall Preview section, has a photo gallery of TV couples they would like to see hook up.  Or, as they put it:  “15 TV Duos Who Should Do It”.  Well.  No subtlety there.  I’m surprised they didn’t throw in the phrase “Tap That”. 
Anyway, Ugly Betty made the list.  Not surprisingly, the suggested hook up is a Detty hook up.  As their caption (submitted by a fan) to a photo of Daniel and Betty says, “I know [creator Silvio Horta] is saying no, but the fans say yes. I kind of thought it was …read more

This week’s print version of TV Guide has a blurb about Christopher Gorham and his new show, Harper’s Island.  You can view a scan here.
Gorham says, of his Ugly Betty character Henry’s relationship with Betty, “The show got us together and had to think of ways to keep us apart”. 
There’s really no disagreeing with that.  We can argue whether the producers jumped the gun with the Henry/Betty relationship (as much as I like him, I think they did – romantic tension is always better, dramatically, than a healthy relationship), but there’s no denying that the whole love triangle thing …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

Our friend at TV Guide Michael Ausiello has posted his final Vodcast – he’s leaving TV Guide for Entertainment Weekly – and he brings up once again the unnamed Ugly Betty cast member who is using the show’s move to New York to ask for more money.

I’m trying to figure it out: who could this be? It would have to be a pretty unusual character for us to “laugh our ass[es] off” at the thought of a contract dispute. I STILL think, based on Ausiello’s cryptic statements, that it’s Mark Indelicato.
I can tell you that if anyone SHOULD …read more

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello has decided to make life easier for the voters for this year’s Emmys – he’s created his own ballot. He calls it a “dream ballot”, and this is the 7th consecutive year he’s done it. Now, Ausiello has great taste in television, if not in haircuts, so voters would be wise to listen.
Ugly Betty cast members are well represented in the dream ballot. The following were “nominated” on the dream ballot:

America Ferrera, Lead Comedy Actress. She’s on this list along with Marcia Cross, Dana Delaney,Tina Fey, and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. America is, …read more

TV Guide’s Micheal Ausiello gives us hints about the Amanda/Gene Simmons story line, and if it goes where I think it’s going, Amanda will have more sadness in her life:
Question: May I have some Amanda-centric Ugly Betty scoop? — Kristi
Ausiello: Gene Simmons is back, and let’s just say life with daddy isn’t everything she hoped it would be.
I have two thoughts about this. The first is an empahtic: “ya think?” Gene Simmons isn’t exactly Bill Cosby in the whole husband and father department. I’m …read more

Made you look.
Seriously, the current issue of TV Guide has THE most wonderful cover photo and story about the return of television. Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton is featured prominently, shooting a stream of champagne in celebration. She’s there with many other stars, including Eva Longoria, Mekhi Phifer, Allison Mack, Hugh Laurie, David Boreanaz, Dave Annable, Mariska Hargitay, David Caruso, amongst others.
Newton DID have a little clothing trouble. From the article: Becki Newton (Ugly Betty’s Amanda) giggles over a wardrobe malfunction: “I look like I peed!” she says, after spilling champagne on her dress..
That …read more

Our favorite insider, TV Guide’s Ausiello, gives us the lowdown on spoilers we’ve previously told you about here at Ugly Betty News.
Wait, does that mean that we scooped Ausiello? I’ll be doggoned. You don’t see that very often. Of course, all we told you was some of the major plot points of the shows in the coming weeks. Ausiello gives us some concrete casting confirmation.
The question he answered:
Question: Any Ugly Betty scoop? Please? April 24 is so… far… away… [Wheeze, cough].— Meg

Lookie what just came in my mailbox! This week’s TV Guide has a magnificent cover story about Ugly Betty Episode 2.07, “A Nice Day For a Posh Wedding”.  Many of the photos we’ve already shown you here, but the cover and story photos are splendid.

For those of you, like me, who have been following these things closely, if you read between the lines, there are some confirmations of spoilers we have been guessing about (who dies, etc).
Scans after the jump!
