Where are my fellow Ugly Betty viewers? Ratings for last Thursdays new episode were some of the lowest since the show went on the air! Ugly Betty was in the number two spot for its hour with a 6.7/11. Survivor Fiji won the ratings race with an 8.1/13.

The powerhouse of the Survivor brand is partially to blame but ABC’s repeated mini hiatuses did not help at all! Ugly Betty only has 4 more episodes to go and then the first season is over. The only good thing about that is no more breaks! Ugly Betty will be all new episodes until May 17, when the season finale airs.

I should have been watching the new episode of Ugly Betty that finally played last night. Technically I did watch it, my TV was tuned to ABC but unlike the rest of you all I got was video and loud static noise! No it was not my TV I checked all 5 of them. It was my local ABC affiliate which for some reason didn’t realize it was only playing static! Even though I was disappointed that I couldn’t see the episode with you guys it has inspired me to search for the best ways to watch Ugly Betty online. So far only three options seem available…

1. Watch for free at ABC: ABC’s media player gives you the opportunity to watch full episodes of Ugly Betty as well as other hits like Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. Shows are presented with limited commercials, and their new media player gives you the option to watch the show in mini media player to full screen. Episodes of new shows are available the morning after they air and they are free!

2. Pay for episodes at the Itunes Store: If you don’t mind paying for free shows, episodes of Ugly Betty (and many other shows) are available they day after they air.

Will Salma Hayek do her part for race relations?

In the weirdest Salma Hayek news I have ever come across Oscar winning Rap duo Three 6 Mafia have professed their love for Ugly Betty actress and producer Salma Hayek. DJ Paul and Juicy J have penned an open love letter to King Magazine asking both Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz to move to Memphis, Tennessee to be their partners and do their part to increase race relations by having kids with them.

The platinum selling rap group is best remembered for receiving an Academy Award for best original song for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” from the soundtrack to Hustle & Flow at the 78th Annual Academy Awards.

Why am I dancing, you ask? Ugly Betty is back and all new (finally) this Thursday! In episode 19 “Punch Out” Betty tries to keep Daniel on the up and up as he reverts to his old male gigolo ways, with lots of partying and models. A tabloid style writer is stalking the Meade family and she has possession of Fey Summers diaries. Guess which two diabolical divas want these diaries? Yes it’s Wilhelmina and Alexis but they have different plans for them. On the home front Ignacio is feeling the pressure as Constance urges him to turn their relationship into a romantic one.

What I can’t wait too see!

* Will Ignacio give in to Constance?
Obviously Constance wants him, and what Constance wants she will probably get! Especially since Ignacio’s future in America will probably depend on making her very happy.

*Will Eric and Alexis make up?
The last new episode of Ugly Betty left Daniel feeling rather dejected. His sister once again left him in the dust and made him feel like a failure. Both his mother and father are too caught up in their feelings about Alexis to give any thought to Daniel’s needs or feelings. Claire is happy to have Alexis back and is caught up in the fantasy of them being one big happy family; While Bradford is obsessed with getting revenge and keeping Claire out of jail.

*What secrets are in Fey Summers diaries?
My first guess is intimate details about Bradford Meade in bed, as well as details on his shady business practices. Bradford is the type who doesn’t mind getting dirty to get what he wants, and he’s got to have some skeletons in the closet. Who knows what else!

What’s your guess?

America Ferrera has joined on to become a spokesperson for Declare Yourself. The nonpartisan media campaign is looking to empower young people at age 18 to register to vote and actually get them out to vote for the 2008 presidential elections.

Declare Yourself includes the far reaching resources of Myspace, Yahoo and Comedy Central among many others. The nonpartisan group is focusing on 18 year olds because research has shown registering and voting at age 18 is the best way to turn voting into a life long habit. Hero’s Hayden Panettiere will serve as a spokesperson alongside Ferrera. Source
