Jamie-Lynn Sigler Joins Ugly Betty Cast

July 22, 2009 By 1 Comment

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Don’t worry “Ugly Betty” fans, its not as horrible as it sounds! America Ferrera isn’t losing her job as the lovable but quirky Betty. Her character on the show just got a promotion to features editor on the seasons finale, so Daniel is looking for a new assistant! Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been tapped to fill the role, playing the sexy, spiritual and funny new assistant named Natalie.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, best known for her role as Meadow on “The Sopranos,” will begin airing in the fall. Natalie is a recurring character in the show’s fourth season, but there seems to be a little conflict on when the character will appear. Some reports have the character showing up in the 2 hour season premiere October 9th, others saying Natalie won’t be seen until the second episode. Will she be the one Daniel really leans on as he deals with Molly’s loss?

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is a nice addition to the cast. Ugly Betty needs some boosts so this is a good start. Does this mean she’ll be leaving “Entourage” as Turtles girlfriend? Was she hired to do damage control after Lindsay Lohan’s failed attempts to boost ratings? Hopefully this will improve the writing and this show’s viewership.

America Ferrera Joins “New Moon”? UPDATED

January 26, 2009 By 7 Comments

First Vanessa Hudgens is in, then she’s out. Next Dakota Fanning is offered a role outright. Now, “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera reveals that she may also be jumping onto the “Twilight” bandwagon. The actress admitted on her blog that she auditioned for the role of Emily in the “Twilight” follow-up “New Moon”.

Ferrera states via Crazy Days and Nights:

“I got to audition for ‘New Moon’ today! For the role of Emily. The casting director, you fans of the book will be glad to know, has read the books and loves them. And you can tell. His direction was spot on for the character. I loved the books. I would so love to be in the movie!!!”

For the few men who may be reading this, Emily Young is the fiancée (and imprinting victim) to Sam Uley-the leader of the La Push werewolves. She’s also the second cousin of Leah Clearwater, the role Vanessa Hudgens was once rumored to be up for.

I don’t know about you other Twi-hards out there, but this is starting to get on my nerves. I think I liked it more when the movie was full of no one I had ever heard of and Peter Facinelli (no one forgets Mike Dexter).

*UPDATE- It appears that this might be the wrong America after the role of Emily. Word is that it was a girl named America Young that is up for the role. She is a friend of the “Crazy Days and Nights” Editor and apparently the originator of this story (Celebuzz) got the two America’s mixed up. (Thanks to Steph)

ABC Fires “Ugly Betty”

January 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I don’t know about all of you, but I love the show “Ugly Betty”. Well, I should say I loved the show “Ugly Betty” the first and only season I ever watched it. Turns out, most people are like me and have decided to flip over to NBC to spend Thursday nights yucking it up with Tina Fey and company on “30 Rock.”

ABC announced today their plans to bench the show beginning March 26. The show will be replaced with the Christina Applegate show “Samantha Who?” and the new Megan Mulally/Cheryl Hines (aka Karen Walker/Larry David’s wife on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) comedy “In the Mother hood”.

The dozen or so of you who still watch “Betty” need not to worry. ABC also announced plans for the show’s return.

ABC statement via EW:

“Ugly Betty will return to Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. following the run of In the Motherhood and Samantha Who?”

If Samantha and Motherhood don’t tank (let’s not hold our breath), this means that Betty won’t return until sometime in June, after the end of the regular viewing season. The network is stating that this move has been created to not only help launch the new comedy but also to have Betty return sans reruns.

Uh-huh. Sure. It’s a good thing America Ferrera has her “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” cash to fall back on. But what about the rest of the cast? Time to warm-up those vocal chords Vanessa Williams.
