Ugly Betty
News (Page 4)

On this Friday's episode of Ugly Betty, our favorite magazine editor tackles the worst jobs in New York.

Among them? Dressing like a hot dog and performing a Bollywood-like dance. See what we mean in the official ABC promo for "The Wiener, the Bun and the Boob" below:

Let's hope this installment is a positive change of pace for the show, whose ratings have been plummeting so far this season.

We'll update our section fo Ugly Betty quotes soon after the episode ends. For now, click on the pics below for an early look at scenes from it:

Many things stood out on this week's episode of Ugly Betty.

There was Betty falling over in her bean bag chair; Grant Bowler returning as Connor Owens; and Marc’s bright yellow suit jacket.

Also, as always, there were a number of winning Ugly Betty quotes. We've listed a few below:

Wilhelmina: Marc, scheming is a lonely business. | permalink

Wilhelmina: Can you believe there's traffic in Bermuda? Luckily, I've chased felons here before, so I know all the short cuts. | permalink

Marc: I'm sorry, but that psychedelic misfit toy is living my dream! | permalink

Marc: We are not talking about that! One more mention, and heads will roll. Pretty blonde heads that don't have their original nose! | permalink

Wilhelmina: Marc, this trip is a total disaster. Connor checked out this morning. And I suspect he was tipped off by our bargain bounty hunter. We need a new bounty hunter. Next time I prefer one in brown. | permalink

At the conclusion of last season, Ugly Betty viewers learned that Claire Meade had given birth to a son many years ago.

On an upcoming episode, meanwhile, Claire will decide to reconnect with the boy, who it's just been announced will be played by Neal Bledsoe.

The actor recently kissed Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl and appeared on three episodes of As the World Turns in 2007. He'll debut in December.

On Friday's new episode of Ugly Betty, the show's main character tries to get a scoop with Gucci's new designer.

But Marc won't be having that, as he tries to sabotage Betty. Meanwhile, Daniel goes to a bereavement group and meets Natalie, played by guest star Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

Don't forget to return to TV Fanatic soon after this episode ends. We'll publish the latest Ugly Betty quotes from "Blue on Blue."

In the meantime, click on the pics below for an early look at a trio of scenes from it:

It's finally almost here.

The fourth season of Ugly Betty premiere on Friday night, October 16.

During the two-hour special, Betty discovers many changes as she starts her new job as associate features editor. It doesn't help that her boss is her bitter ex-boyfriend, Matt Hartley.

The show will also focus on an important, real-life issue: Betty runs her own Mode photo shoot at the United Nations to promote its anti-malaria initiative, "Nothing but Nets."

Lynn Redgrave will also guest star on the episode, which will involve a fun Betty dream sequence. Click on the pics from "The Butterfly Effect" below for an early look at scenes from the installment:

On The View this week, meanwhile, star Ana Ortiz confirmed that Betty is ditching her braces this season. She said:

"They are coming off this season. Even in the first episode - it's a two-hour episode, it's brilliant - she starts to make the transition. It's really exciting."

Shakira, and her honest hips, will soon give acting a shot.

Ugly Betty creator, Silvio Horta says the singer will appear on an episode of the ABC hit this fall, telling People:

“We had a very memorable moment in the third episode where Betty has a makeover that goes wrong and she struts down the street to ‘Hips Don’t Lie.’ We’ve mentioned [Shakira] several times over the course of the series and have always wanted to work with her. She’s an enormous Latina icon, as is Betty, and we thought it was a perfect fit.”

On the episode titled “The Bahamas Triangle," Shakira will assist a Mode photo shoot when the publication is on location in the tropics. Christie Brinkley will also appear during this installment, portraying the editor of a competing fashion magazine.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler will also appear on Ugly Betty this season. Get an early look at her in the role of Natalie now!

Sorry, Turtle. But Jamie-Lynn Sigler will soon leave Entourage for a new primetime favorite.

At least the actual Jamie-Lynn Sigler will.

On October 16, the former Sopranos star joins the cast of Ugly Betty as Natalie, Daniel’s new assistant. As you can tell by the photo ABC released this week, the character will be a departure for Sigler:

Ugly Betty returns on October 16 with new episodes.

Fans of Ugly Betty may need to wait until October 9 for the show to premiere its fourth season, but we can offer two pieces of comforting news at least:

1. The episode will be two hours long;
2. In it, Betty will make like Sydney Bristow in Alias and Neo in The Matrix, all at once!

Lynn Redgrave and Kristen Johnson also guest star on the opening episode, a clip from which - that will make the second point above far more sensical- we've posted below:

While the extent of it is unknown, Betty Suarez is undergoing a makeover this season on Ugly Betty.

Now, TV Guide Magazine reports that veteran actress Lynn Redgrave will play a key role in this transformation.

Redgrave will guest star on the two-hour season premiere of the show, which airs on October 9. She'll portray Olivia, a jewelry designer that Betty - newly promoted to Mode's features editor - comes across while working on a story.

Olivia designs beautiful, bug-like baubles. In the course of relaying her story to Betty, she inspires the show's title character to come out of her shell and blossom in a new way.

Adam Rodriguez, who played Eric Delko on CSI: Miami for seven years, is set to come aboard Ugly Betty.

The actor will play Bobby, an ex-boyfriend of Betty's sister Hilda.

"He's an old high school boyfriend, and  [he comes] back into their lives," Rodriguez told TV Guide. "A little romance buds, and there's some drama to go along with it."

But who will be involved in this romance,  Hilda or Betty? The actor wouldn't say.

"Maybe a little bit of both. We'll see how it turns out, but it's going to be a lot of fun and it's really funny," said Rodriguez, who appears in at least five episodes.

Ugly Betty also made male viewers happier this summer: it cast Brooklyn Decker in a guest-starring role.
