Let’s take a  break from all the Ugly Betty ratings/schedule/ending craziness (yes, I know Lost is not going to Wednesdays – but ABC hasn’t announced what IS, as far as I know). 
Let’s skip an episode – we have all week to talk about episode 4.07, Level(7) With Me.  Here is a cool video someone assembled from the promo pics for episode 4.08, The Bahamas Triangle (Warning -MUCHO SPOILERS!).

Warning to the hearing-enabled: this has a Shakira soundtrack. 
Everyone looks incredible.  Vanessa Williams is gorgeous as usual.  Is that one-piece Becki Newton wearing at the :40 mark incredible or what?  …read more

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

It looks like the promo for tonight’s episode of Ugly Betty didn’t give any clue about the big stuff that will be happening on tonight’s episode (4.06, Backseat Betty).  EW’s Ausiello gives tonight’s episode mucho amor, then gives us some cryptic spoilers.
It  looks like, based on what’s being said by Ausiello and at AfterElton, this is going to be an excellent episode, keeping par with what has already an excellent season.  Low ratings or not, I’m starting to see buzz about Ugly Betty that I haven’t seen in a couple of seasons. 
Anyway, according to Ausiello, it looks like …read more

I don’t know what the heck is going on over there at ABC, but EW’s Ausiello is saying that the move of Ugly Betty to Wednesdays isn’t going to happen.  From his Ausiello Files post:
Question: What’s the latest word on Ugly Betty moving to Wednesdays? —Alec Ausiello: All signs point to… it not happening. ABC insiders tell me Betty is staying put on Fridays for now. The most likely candidate to inherit Eastwick’s Wednesdays at 10 p.m. timeslot early next year is Lost. Speaking of Betty, is it just me or is …read more

Based on these set photos of America Ferrera and Daniel Eric Gold filming scenes for Ugly Betty, I think it’s safe to say that in some upcoming episode of the show, Betty and Matt will be at the very least, friendly.

This looks like a date to me, and one that’s going well.  But, this could just be a friendly walk, such as we’ve seen Betty take with Daniel many times.
They seem to be walking around somewhere Betty knows, because she’s pointing out something to Matt.

I LOVE these red coats that Betty has been wearing, it is a very …read more

Here is another sneak peek of Ugly Betty episode 4.05, Plus One.  Betty is third wheel, (or plus one, whatever ) at a lunch with Daniel and Natalie.

Hat tip: B&B
First off, what’s up with Natalie’s Kate-Gosselin-hair?  Yes, it looks wonderful, but it really changes the character, by looks alone.  Maybe that’s on purpose.  As much as I liked her character in Blue on Blue, I’m guessing she’s going to end up being “the bad guy”, and Betty’s going to have to save Daniel from her.
Anyway, in the sneak peek, Natalie cannot eat restaurant food, she is eating “Maca-greenie …read more

Here is a sneak peek of Ugly Betty episode 4.05, Plus None.  This one really gets the Detty on.
Hat tip: B&B
Betty and Daniel meet at the elevator; Daniel is heading to his group meeting, we don’t know what Betty is doing, but she seems to be leaving for the day.
Daniel tells Betty how “the group” is helping him cope with losing Molly.  He then says he notices she and Matt have been “chummy” lately.  He asks if “there’s anything (about them) she’d like to report".
Betty hems and haws, then mentions that the two of them (Daniel and Betty) have …read more

This is double-interesting news.  According to EW’s Ausiello, Fisher Stevens will join the cast of Ugly Betty in a possibly recurring role as Betty’s new landlord.
You’ll recognize Stevens right away, because he always plays “that creepy guy”.  I remember a recurring role on CSI NY where Stevens was spectacular.  Then, of course, there’s the role he played on Lost (George Minkoski)
On Betty, he will play Mr. Z., a dry and sarcastic landlord.  When they cast the role, they were looking for a "New York actor who could go head-to-head with America Ferrera."
Personally, I love Stevens, and I think I’ll …read more

Here are some photos of America Ferrera filming scenes for Ugly Betty in Lower Manhattan.

Two things stand out: Betty looks more stylish than ever, and she seems kind of flummoxed.
I like the pink empire-waisted thing (is that considered a coat?  a sweater?  Forgive me, I’m showing my fashion ignorance.  To me, a coat should have buttons.  )  The hat is a nice touch, as well.  The only “Betty-fied” part of her outfit is the purse, which really stands out.

Betty seems upset about something – but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot …read more

Here is a little more in-depth preview of Ugly Betty episode 4.03, Blue On Blue, airing tonight on ABC at 9/8c. (Hat tip – BuddyTV).  All of this info has been floating around piecemeal, but BTV is the first place I’ve seen it all summarized in one place.
Betty is going to try to get a scoop in her new job as features editor at Mode: 
She goes all out in her pursuit of Gucci’s fresh designer, Evan York (Hamish Linklater) but she needs help.  Enter Hilda, and her well-connected customer Sammy (Adam Ferrara).
Marc, of course, is still angry with Betty …read more
