OMG--No way! Yes I'm a fan of the show. Rebecca Romijin on "Ugly Betty?!?!!" Rebecca Romijn ('X-Men' movies) has signed to be a series regular on ABC's 'Ugly Betty,' one of the season's few new hits. She'll play the mystery woman who's been conspiring with Vanessa Williams' Wilhelmina character to take over the publishing company at the heart of the show. The character to be played by Romijn has already been seen on the show, but in profile and covered in gauze. A different actress has been supplying the voice of the mystery woman.Variety says Romijn is expected to begin work on Monday. Her first episode should air in time for the February sweeps."Cool news, but I'm sure the only thing Betty fans wanna know is, "When is Henry from Accounting coming back???"{Source}
"Unlike her fashion-challenged TV alter ego, Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is the picture of chic in her little black dress Tuesday night at a special presentation of the She Made It: Women Creating Television and Radio exhibit at the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills."

Ugly Betty follows the daily life of Betty Suarez, a young woman from a struggling Latino family who works as an executive assistant at MODE fashion magazine. Most of her female co-workers are more attractive than she is; they often humiliate and insult her because of her appearance (her only friend is Christina). Suarez is not interested in fashion and is sometimes clueless about the company's motives and organizations. Her boss, the womanizing Daniel Meade (who initially turned her away because of her appearance), has a lack of fashion experience too, but both are intent on performing well at their jobs, even at the expense of those trying to stop them. The program includes a serialized plot involving Meade's predecessor Fey Sommers, who supposedly was killed in a fiery hit-and-run accident but actually is a hospital patient swathed in facial bandages that conceal her identity, as well as a storyline involving Betty's father, Ignacio Suarez; whose admission to coming to the United States as an illegal immigrant could put his family in a legal bind.
Although it is expected to remain true to the original Betty La Fea, this version is expected to include more dramatic elements because of the serious issues explored in the program. And like another ABC dramedy series, Desperate Housewives, this one also uses the same tone and style, combining elements of drama, comedy, mystery, farce, camp, soap opera and satire, but done in a lighter element. The show is filmed like a traditional network drama (with motion picture film), rather than the videotape production of the original telenovela.
