  Time absolutely flies, doesn’t it?  Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz will be having her baby in July, and that’s just around the corner!
So, it must be about time for the baby shower.  And guess who’s hosting it?  Not America Ferrera.  Not new mom Rebecca Romijn.  Not Meade Mom Judith Light.  Oh, no doubt they’ll be there.  But this shindig is going to be hosted by Ugly Betty costume designer Patricia Field.

Meanwhile, another Betty thesp is using the coast-hop as …read more

I’ll be doggonned.
After Silvio Horta had put to bed any idea of a Linsday Lohan appearance on Ugly Betty this season, this morning our friend Ausiello at TV Guide has a bombshell: Lohan is in advanced talks to appear in the season 2 finale. Ausiello’s tone makes it sound like it’s almost a given. Wow.
But, then, the news gets even more shocking. Lohan is in talks to appear on the show in a story arc next year. NOT the three-episode arc we’ve heard about, but possibly up to eight episodes!!! Holy cow.
Apparently, she’ll …read more
