Becki Newton, Ugly Betty
Ugly Betty's scene-stealing bad girl Becki Newton talks to TV Guide about shaking her booty, stalking Tim Gunn and finding love. (ABC's Ugly Betty airs Thursdays at 8 pm/ET.)
TV Guide: How do you get in touch with your inner vixen to play Amanda?
Becki Newton: I think of the girls I used to meet at New York City auditions. Girls have a great way of sizing each other up with a look that can debilitate everyone. I was usually the victim of that. I've always been more the Betty than the Amanda. But after years of studying those girls, I've learned how to channel it.
TV Guide: You felt like Betty?
Newton: Always. I think everyone does. The Amandas of the world are covering up a lot of pain by trying to be the one who makes other

Elizabeth Reaser, Grey's Anatomy
It's Sunday, and on a stylish strip of Hollywood's Melrose Avenue, Elizabeth Reaser has her choice of two popular coffeeshops — one that's packed with self-consciously hip Nicole Richie look-alikes, the other with a more serious sweats-and-Sunday-paper crowd. She makes a beeline for the latter. "It's such a scene at that other place," she says, pouring soy milk into her coffee.
This preference for depth over superficiality makes the Michigan native a natural for a scene-stealing role that has nothing to do with her good looks: a nine-episode stint on ABC's Grey's Anatomy (Thursdays at 9 pm/ET) as Jane Doe, the pregnant ferry-crash victim with severe facial injuries.
"Elizabeth can communicate so much with her voice and eyes — she has incre

Christopher Gorham, Ugly Betty
It's something fans of ABC's Ugly Betty (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET) just know: Betty must end up with Henry. Why? "They're like-minded," says Christopher Gorham, who plays "Mode" magazine's sweet-as-pie accountant. "They're both comfortable with being smart, and they're not overly concerned with appearances in themselves or other people."
Since Betty finally broke up with Walter — and Gorham recently signed on as a regular for next season — fans may get their wish. And if that means waiting for Henry's girlfriend, Charlie, to hit the road, Gorham won't mind. He's enjoying every minute on set. "We joke around a lot," he says. "We were doing Borat impersonations for a while. We tell each other how horrible we were in the last scene all the time."
Off set, Gorham possesses the three things most val

California girl Sara is TVGuide.com's early pick to win Top Model.
Another round of strutting, pouting, posing — and spatting — is upon us now that UPN's America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET) has returned for a sixth cycle. "What I love about this new group is that no one looks like anyone else," says host Tyra Banks. "They're all so different, and they all photograph strikingly." While Southern-fried Kathy has already been sent home, here's why each of the remaining hopefuls thinks she has what it takes to be a runway success.
