Wrapup Deluxe Edition
WRAP UP LAST TWO WEEKS
Last week I had Jury duty, which was not as boring as you might be thinking. So a lot of good Ugly Betty tidbits were ignored, so enjoy 2 weeks of wrapups.
Vanity Fair:America Ferrera is on the March 2008 fold out cover of Vanity Fair. Only the first 4 women on the left can be seen before unfolding the cover. The cover is part of the annual Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, which comes on the heel of their announcement that they have canceled their annual Oscar Party. The photography by Annie Leibovitz’s, features pastels and whites showcasing old Hollywood glamour. The other 9 fresh faces on this years cover are: Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Alice Braga, Ellen Page, Zoë Saldana, Elizabeth Banks and Ginnifer Goodwin. Check out Vanity Fair’s slideshowof the annual covers by Annie Leibovitz. Besides America and Zoë the rest of these girls kinda fade into the background.
A Day in the life of Vanessa Williams: Vanessa gives Every Day with Rachel Rayan inside look at her life. Check out the scoop in the March 2008 issue of the magazine the B.L.D. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) section has all the info! Read all about how they got to snack on New York pretzels (in LA) and reveals her weakness for homemade bread with butter. Umm I’m having a craving now. To catch up on the latest news from the very busy Rachel keep updated at Watching Rachel Ray. Thanks to Erin for the tip.
Spamalot: Alan Dale is now on stage! Even though we miss his dark grittiness as Bradford Meade head honcho of the Meade family in Ugly Betty he has a great new role. Starring as King Arthur in the London version of Monthy Python’s Spamalot. The role has been played by many other notable actors including Tim Curry. I’m also still salivating to see Alan Dale make his Torchwood appearance. After seeing the Spike (James Marsters of Buffy fame) appearance in the Season 2 debut I can’t wait to see what they have in store for Alan Dale! Yes I know Spike is not a real person, I just wish he was!
Salma’s still hot: Askmen.comhas revealed their list of annual beauties officially called The Top 99 of 2008. Salma came in at Number 52 behind Hayden Pateriette of Heroes and right above one of the many women on this list I’ve never even heard of. Salma was down 20 places from last year but somehow I don’t think she’ll be worried. Number 1 on the list? Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy…
America knows a lot about America:America Ferrera reveals more about her decision to back Hillary Clinton as president was not influenced by her gender. America is basing her decision strictly on who she thinks is best for the country, campaign to reach out to “disenfranchised people” apparently impressed her. Last week America also took time to speak to catholic youths and encourage them to learn more about the election process and make their vote count. The diversity conferenceallowed Ferrera to talk to 150 boys and girls from 17 different Catholic high schools.
Primetime Downtime: The strike is still on and primetime TV is still mostly dead. All 13 episodes of Ugly Bettythat were produced have already aired. Is their some good news ahead for all of us TV addicts? Rumors are circulating that a tentative deal has been reached with the WGA and an announcement could be coming next week. Silvio Hortia talked to Entertainment Weekly and stated that he could have 4 episodes ready to go in May, also know as Sweeps month. Of course until the WGA makes an announcement I won’t hold my breath.
