America Ferrera has been tapped to star in An Invisible Sign of My Own, an adaptation of the quirky novel by Aimee Bender, according to the Hollywood Reporter.The Ugly Betty star will play Mona Gray, a young math teacher who draws upon her own childhood struggles with her father's illness to help her students through their individual problems. At the helm of the film, which is expected to begin shooting soon, is Marilyn Agrelo, who will be sitting in the director's chair for the first time since her 2005 indie crossover documentary Mad Hot Ballroom.The shooting schedule will keep Ferrera even busier than normal.

Young Hollywood Awards Bring Hot Stars, Cool Scoop | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 4/29/2008
"It takes a special kind of person to be part of young Hollywood," host Aisha Tyler told the audience at Hollywood Life's 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards, before rattling off the undergarmentless achievements of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and friends. But at Avalon nightclub, the young ones honored were far from the scandalous kind. Chris O'Donnell, America Ferrera, J.J. Abrams and more took center stage to honor those on the cusp of breaking through, purely on the basis of their talent. TV Guide caught up with Thomas Dekker on the red carpet, who, despite sweltering conditions, was the epitome of cool. And for good reason — Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are back this fall, bigger than ever. "I'm so excited. We're going to have to crank [the episodes] out pretty quick because we're going on in October." Viewers can look forward to an action-packed 13 episodes. "A lot of very dark twists immediately take place right at the beginning," teases... read more

Movie News: A Hero Hits the Screen, Ferrera's New Flick and More | Today's News: Our Take | 2/14/2008
Cutie-pie and Heroes regular Nicholas D'Agosto (aka West Rosen) is signed up for the teen comedy Maxim's Fired Up. In the film, he's a high-school football player who drops out to join a cheerleading camp, all in the pursuit of hot girls (can you blame him?).... America Ferrera's new flick, Hacia la Oscuridad (Toward Darkness), got picked up for domestic distrib by Peace Arch Entertainment. The film, which Ferrera is also exec-producing and starring in, features fellow Betty castmate Tony Plano, as well as Gilmore Girls' David Sutcliffe. The bilingual thriller should hit screens this spring.... South Korean pop star Rain is poised to make an international splash with a starring role in the Wachowskis' new film, Ninja Assassin. Fans of the singer will also get a taste of him from a supporting role in another upcoming Wachowski flick, Speed Racer. — Anna Dimond read more
SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights — in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower love on my favorite new show of 2007, AMC's Mad Men, and its terrific star, Jon Hamm (who has just joined the cast of the remake of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, which sounds appropriately robotic). So while not all may be forgiven, the wound stings a little less.My favorite part of the SAG Awards is the ensemble-cast category. Because let's face it, most great TV shows rely on cast chemistry. Even The Closer, which on face value looks like a... read more
