America Ferrera Gossip, News & Photos

America Ferrera was out on the streets of NYC filming a scene for 'Ugly Betty.' Using my amazing powers of deduction, I think Betty is so engrossed in her phone conversation that she drops the cup of coffee she's holding ;) I wonder if the coffee was for Daniel?

I was glad to hear that ABC picked up 'Ugly Betty' for the 2009-2010 TV season. I can't imagine why not: the show still has high ratings, even if they've dropped a little from the show's first season! 

Betty's clothes are always so vivid; I guess it would compromise the character to let her develop a more chic fasion style, wouldn't it?

When you are a reality star, the world is your set!

Stephanie Pratt spent some quality time with Audrina Patridge grabbing a tea and doing a little shopping in LA.  Spencer Pratt's sister really integrated herself into the cast didn't she? It seems she's gotten very close with Audrina since last season. 

But their storyline isn't the one I am interested in. I am DYING to see what's doing with Spencer and the bar fight. Then of course we have Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad crying to one another. Oh yeah... I'm ready. Did you see the trailer for the new season of The Hiills?

On the other side of the country, America Ferrera was hard at work filming for Ugly Betty. It looks like the actress was caught snacking on some berries in between takes.

True Blood!! I just LOVE that show! Dying to find out what is going to happen with Lafayette's character! Here they all are (Anna Paquin, Chris Bauer, Nelsan Ellis, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley) at the HBO Post Golden Globe party held at Circa 55. 

Also in attendance were Melissa George, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Adrien Grenier, Laura Dern, Tyrese, Eva Mendes, America Ferrera, Zachary Quinto, Rachel Griffiths, Kevin Dillon, and Jerry Ferrera.

Do celebs just party hop? I couldn't imagine picking between an HBO party vs an NBC etc.

I love that no matter how hard the wardrobe people try to make Betty nerdy, America Ferrera's beauty shines through anyways.  She's a force to be reckoned with!  She and Becki Newton were filming in Madison Square Park, and from the looks of it, were freezing their butts off.  Poor Becki in that tiny skirt!

And is it just my imagination or is Ugly Betty stepping up it's fashion game? Giant fur coats, teeny tiny skirts and designer heels...sounds more like Sex and the City to me!

America Ferrera has signed onto an independent film focusing on the war in Iraq. Tentatively titled American Tragic, Ferrera will play the wife of a young soldier, played by actor Ryan O’Nan, who has trouble readjusting to civilian life when he returns to his small hometown. A story I am sure so many of our troops can relate to.

Ferrera will also executive produce the project which means big bucks if the movie is a hit. She is scheduled to begin production in February in New Mexico.

I have such a new found respect for her ever since I read about how hard she works on the set of Ugly Betty. 

She didn't come right out and say that America Ferrera and Lindsay Lohan didn't get along on the set of Ugly Betty but Vanessa Williams did kind of hint at it.

"We're such a tight cast, and a well-oiled machine, that to jump on and to rise to the occasion is the true test.  We've had Patti LuPone, who's a Broadway legend; Bernadette Peters, who just started with us last week  — So there are people who have been in the industry for years and have had tremendous accolades. And I think Lindsay playing the part that she did, which was Kimmy — kind of a bratty high school nightmare for Betty  — I think she did her part."

Vanessa goes on to talk further about Lindsay saying, 

"America is the consummate professional.  She works very hard, and she's also she's very invested in her character. So if you don't come with the same drive and panache... I think that's were the unbalance was."

But, Vanessa did add,

"I think by the time Lindsay was finished, she loved us and she wanted to stay longer."

And she mentioned that the media blew any problems "out of proportion."

I love how red carpet events in NYC usually don't have red carpets. The actors and actresses just walk on the street into whatever venue the function chose to use. That's a big difference between the East and the West.

America Ferrera, Kate Bosworth, Natalie Portman, Jane Krakowski, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Fergie, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Taylor Swift, Debra Messing, and Tyra Banks all stepped out to attend the 2008 Glamour Woman of the Year Awards held at the Carnegie Hall. 

Nicole obviously was the recipient and while wearing a L'Wren Scott cream sheath down the red carpet, she said about her win: "It's such a privilege. I feel a little overwhelmed."

Other winners?

• Hayden Panettiere - Newcomer of the Year
• Lily Allen - Editor’s Special Award Other

Clutching a Starbucks coffee, America Ferrera was spotted browsing Calypso Home in Soho while in character on a break from filming 'Ugly Betty'.  I am definitely digging this outfit, I don't find it very "ugly" at all, in fact I love the mod yellow coat and sunglasses (I am completely ignoring the heeled Crocs though!).

Any 'Ugly Betty' fans out there dressing up as her for Halloween? I think it would make an adorable costume.

Rachael Ray welcomed the cast and crew of Ugly Betty to their new set in NY. Mark Indelicato, America Ferrera, and Vanessa Williams (who is just as beautiful as ever) all chowed down on Rachael's famous grub.

The episode will air on the RACHAEL RAY show this Friday, September 26th should you want to catch it live.
