We had previously reported the rumor that Ashley Jensen was leaving Ugly Betty at the end of this season.  With her ridiculously reduced screen time - and unrealistically long pregnancy - on the show, we had no reason not to believe it was true.

However, we still feel obligated to report that ABC has confirmed this Jensen's last season on the series.  Ugly Betty executive producer Silvio Horta told Ausiello Files:

"While we're sad that Ashley will not be returning next season as a series regular, she is still a member of the Ugly Betty family.  So don't be surprised if you see Christina pop back up in Betty's life."

Jensen will be moving on by co-starring on CBS's new sitcom, Accidentally on Purpose, which stars Jenna Elfman as a San Francisco movie critic that finds herself accidentally knocked up.  We've never seen an actress play a best friend better then Jensen, so we wish the show nothing but the best of luck.

We will, of course, very much miss Christina on Ugly Betty.  Jensen did an amazing job with the very limited screen time she was given on the show.
