TMZ reports,

quote1.jpgThe actor wrote a blog on his MySpace page early Saturday morning, detailing how it all went down. He wrote, “Walking back to my friend’s car, about a block away from the party, two men jumped out of their car and held a gun to my face and stole my wallet and my friend’s purse/camera/phone.”

Blue wrote that he was happy to be alive (obviously!) and also glad it didn’t happen to one of his richer co-stars — like America Ferrera or Judith Light.

Did he just use this opportunity to ask for a raise?

What others said:

  • Ugly Betty News says, “This is an awful thing to happen to anyone, especially near the holidays. Here’s hoping they catch the perpetrators and punish them quickly. Oh, and ABC, Blue needs to be made a regular, and needs a new contract (based on what he’s said about money in this post). Of all of guest stars on Ugly Betty, David Blue is the most universally liked, based on comments at Ugly Betty News.

Lindsay Lohan To Star On ‘Ugly Betty’

Lindsay Lohan might be giving her acting comeback a little push with a guest appearance on ABC’s “Ugly Betty”. An insider tells the New York Obsever,

quote-pic“Everyone’s very excited. Of course it brings a lot of attention to the show, and it’s a great part for Lindsay.”

Lindsay would play a fallen beauty queen who manages the fast food restaurant where the Betty’s father works. Betty, played by America Ferrera, would befriend Lindsay’s character and help get her a job at the show’s fictional fashion magazine.

Looks like “Ugly Betty” is becoming the next hot spot for movie actors to make their guest appearances. Victoria Beckham’s episode is airing tonight. Here’s a little preview:

Victoria Beckham, How She Dresses for Her Role on Ugly Betty

Really, aside from the pig nose, there’s not one ugly thing about Victoria.

The Daily Mail reports,

quote.jpgHer obsession with couture, twiggy frame and primped appearance meant Victoria Beckham fitted right into Ugly Betty’s world of high fashion.

The Spice Girl recently filmed a starring role on the award-winning Channel 4 programme, Ugly Betty - and walked a way with a rather hefty pay check.

She was reportedly paid an impressive £70,000 for a one-off cameo appearance in an episode titled Nice Day for a Posh Wedding.

This sneak peek picture shows Victoria playing bridesmaid to Ugly Betty villain Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams), who is set to wed Alan Dale’s Bradford Meade.

Emmys Get Lowest Ratings Ever

Emmys Get Lowest Ratings Ever - PIC

Even Ryan Seacrest dressed like that couldn’t get people to watch the Emmys this year. The broadcast may have been the least-watched in history.

quote-picPreliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research put the audience for Sunday’s show, aired on Fox, at 13.1 million viewers. That’s three million fewer than for last year’s telecast, on NBC, and less than the record low 13.8 million three years ago on ABC.

What were people watching? About 13.3 million viewers chose to watch the New England Patriots play the San Diego Chargers instead. Which is sad since the Patriots won 38-14 and it wasn’t even a game after the first quarter.

The best part of the whole broadcast was Katherine Heigl correcting the announcer who mispronounced her name. Other than that, there were no real surprises. But if you’re interested, you can see all the winners after the jump

America Ferrera W Mag Photos and Video

America Ferrera, star of the popular show (which I’ve never actually seen) “Ugly Betty” gets the cover and a photo shoot in something called “W” magazine, which I’ve never heard of.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

quote-pic America Ferrera W Magazine Cover Photo America Ferrera’s first real showbiz experience was something of a letdown. At 16, after a decade of acting in school plays and drifting off each night to Hollywood dreams, she was cast in a Disney Channel movie about a junior high school dance team with the somewhat hilarious name of Gotta Kick It Up. At first, she was thrilled. “I love to dance, so I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to just dance all day. And there were four other girls in the cast, so that was fun. And you know the way you think when you’re a teenager: Disney Channel today, Oscars tomorrow!” she says with a laugh. But a few weeks into filming, she had what she describes as “a mini nervous breakdown.” “I just felt really empty,” she says. “I had achieved my dream, and it wasn’t totally fulfilling. I still had school problems, and I still had boy problems. My life was still my life. I guess I had been waiting to be turned into a swan.”

***

Betty Suarez—the lead character in television’s Ugly Betty—is a style-challenged young Latina from Queens who lands a job as assistant to the editor in chief of a fashion magazine. The show is based on a Colombian telenovela called Yo Soy Betty, la Fea, which was a cultural phenomenon in Latin America and was adapted for markets around the world—everywhere from Israel to India—before being imported to the U.S. for the fall 2006 season. American audiences fell for the series almost immediately. Drawing roughly 14 million viewers a week, the show dominates its competitive Thursday night time slot and ranks as the most watched newcomer of the season. In January Ugly Betty won the Golden Globe for best TV comedy or musical series, and Ferrera herself—who dons a wig, fake brows and snap-on faux braces for her role—walked away with the statuette for best actress, beating out such veterans as Felicity Huffman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Two weeks later she took home a SAG award.

According to critics and those who work with Ferrera on Ugly Betty, such accolades were well deserved. “She’s one of the most charismatic people I’ve ever met,” says Salma Hayek, an executive producer of the show. “She’s also authentic. That’s a rare characteristic nowadays, and that’s why people are falling in love with her. I knew the minute that I saw her that she was a superstar.”

***

What’s most interesting about America-as-Betty is the breadth of her appeal. The character has struck a chord with a remarkably diverse collection of fans— 12-year-old girls, gay men, Latinas, the fashion crowd—all of whom seem to want to adopt her as their mascot. The day after the Globes, for example, California Congresswoman Hilda Solis took to the floor of the House to, in her words, “commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas.” A few months later, Out magazine put the cast on its cover under a headline that read, HOW UGLY BETTY BECAME THE GAYEST, BEST SHOW ON TV. In the accompanying story, Ferrera recounted the surreal experience of attending the West Hollywood Halloween parade—a big night for L.A.’s gay community—and seeing scores of guys dressed up as Betty. “Anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider can see themselves in her and feel represented,” she says. “And who hasn’t, at some point in their life, felt like they didn’t belong?”

Some more photos from the shoot:

A behind-the-scenes video

The article and photo spread is called “Hot Betty” as a play on “Ugly Betty.” I’d say it was more like “Not All That Bad Looking Betty” or “Kinda Fugly for Hollywood But She’d Do in a Pinch Betty.”

MollyGood disagrees saying it should be “Slightly Chubby but Still Strikingly Beautiful Betty.” Usually, the gossip blogs are way too hard on really hot babes. Here, though, I think they’re grading on a curve because of the name of the show.

2007 Golden Globe Awards - Arrival Pictures!

Let’s take a moment to learn people! [heh]

Golden Globe PicThe Golden Globe Awards are American awards for motion pictures and television programs, given out each year during a formal dinner. Run since 1944 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the awards are a major part of the film industry’s “awards season” which culminates each year with the Oscars. This is particularly true since 1996, when the HFPA signed a new television broadcast contract with NBC (prior to that, they were aired on TBS, but before the existence of TBS, one of the “big three” commercial networks, i.e. CBS, NBC, or ABC, always broadcast the show). The broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards generally ranks as the third most-watched awards show each year, behind only the Oscars and Grammys, and movie studios actively solicit support from HFPA members and mention nominations and awards in their advertisements.

The Golden Globes are awarded early in the year, based on votes from (as of 2005) 86 mostly part-time journalists living in Hollywood and affiliated with media outside of the United States.

Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligibility period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Golden Globe Awards begins October 1.
