Ahhh, Autumn. The smell of dying leaves. The sound of crying children shuffling back to school. TV Guide's annual "Fall Preview" issue kicking ass all over newsstands. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Aside from Christmas. And my birthday. And any time I spend with my goddaughter Maddy, who is the most awesomest kid on the planet ever.

Sunday's ALMA Awards were far from Ugly for actress America Ferrera. Not only did her show Ugly Betty take victory for best Latino-led ensemble cast, but Ferrera went home with the night's big win as Entertainer of the Year. The 24-year-old actress earned the honor not only for her frumpy-but-fiesty role as Betty Suarez on the ABC series, but also for her offscreen work encouraging youth to become politically active.

Posted by devera...Jeers to Ugly Betty for Henry not returning. I put all that effort into caring about Betty and Henry's relationship and rooting for the nice guy, and [Christopher Gorham] isn't even coming back as a series regular? For a show that is supposedly about heart and the nice guy winning, is this a "jump the shark" moment? Someone needs to figure out a way to bring him back, and pronto.
