Ugly Betty's Vanessa Gets Pretty Penny from Proactiv | Today's News: Our Take | 10/15/2007
Vanessa Williams has inked an endorsement deal with Proactiv worth nearly $20 million, sources tell the New York Post's Page Six. The Ugly Betty cast member's pact reportedly is on par with the $3 mil-per-year Jessica Simpson just scored, but at the end of the day Williams will net even more because she is going to be developing a cosmetics line for the company. (Me, I think J.Simp perhaps overestimates just how many people are looking at the face.) read more be the first to leave a comment

Reviews and a Preview: Happy February! | Matt Roush | 2/1/2007
Today is not only the start of February but of February sweeps. You know what that means: a repeat-free zone for at least the next four weeks. (Then comes Mar. 1, and you know what that means: Unless you're 24, Lost or Jericho, which will be all-new to the end of their respective seasons, it's a mixed bag of new and old episodes, plus the chaos of rejiggered schedules to make room for mid-season tryouts. But we'll cross that bridge later.)For now, before we start the sweeps march, I want to... read more be the first to leave a comment
