  • Ugly Betty Stars Make Beautiful Music | Today's News: Our Take | 3/6/2008
    Could Season 3 bring a musical episode of Ugly Betty? It's inevitable, say the cast of the ABC show. On Wednesday night at the Alzheimer's Association's 16th-annual "A Night at Sardi's" fund-raiser, almost the entire Ugly Betty ensamble — along with stars from Heroes, Boston Legal and even Brothers & Sisters' Steven Weber in a glittering snakeskin suit — performed selections from the Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie. Betty's Tony Plana, Ana Ortiz, Becky Newton, Mark Indelicato, Vanessa Williams, David Blue and Chris Gorham proved that they can belt out a tune like the best of Broadway, which is no surprise as most of them hail from New York and are, as Ortiz puts it, "theater geeks." For Ortiz, joining the charity show after being asked by her on-screen dad was a no-brainer. "Tony Plana's mother is afflicted with Alzheimer's, so when he asked us to do this we jumped at the chance to honor her. It's for a great cause. It's a wonderful thing." But that doesn't mean the ac... read more
  • Ugly Betty Star: Lindsay Lohan Still Might Visit | Today's News: Our Take | 3/5/2008
    It's no news that Lindsay Lohan was supposed to join Ugly Betty for a guest-starring turn, but what most disappoints Tony Plana about the cameo that may never happen is that he won't get to interact with the starlet. "She was going to be somewhat involved in [Ignacio's] world, which I like," he told TV Guide at the Body Language Sportswear store opening in Los Angeles. "The predictable thing would be to have her involved in the fashion world.... So I was happy. I think it would have given her a whole different kind of thing to play."Plana thinks the writers will have to drop such guest stars and subplots to efficiently wrap up Season 3, but regarding La Lohan's guest gig, one should not lose hope just yet. "As far as I know," he says, "we're still talking to her." — Carita RizzoRelated:• Ugly Betty Fan Lohan "Flattered" by ABC's Interest • Lindsay Lohan a Pretty Good Bet to Join Ugly Betty? read more
  • Ugly Betty: Burning Questions Answered! | Today's News: Our Take | 5/9/2007
    Are Betty and Henry ever going to get together? Have faith! "It all comes to a head by the finale [May 17]," says Christopher Gorham, who plays Henry. "By the end, there will be some resolution between Henry and [girlfriend] Charlie and a new complication with the love triangle. Henry really steps up for Betty — and pays the price. The thing is," he adds, "Henry and Betty needed to break up. By taking herself out of the picture, Betty made him realize how great she is. They are going to move toward being together." Hope this isn't rude, but we really want to know: Is Betty still a virgin?"Uh… no," says the show's executive producer Silvio Horta. The only guy she's ever been with is Walter, a fact alluded to in the episode called "The Lyin', the Watch and the Wardrobe." Are we ever going to find read more
