Ugly Betty Stars Make Beautiful Music | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 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.
