America Ferrera always has a way of making me laugh.  The girl has got huge talent and she makes Ugly Betty such a fabulous show.  And in true America fashion, she dressed in a hotdog costume for an episode filming in New York City  today (Auggust 25th).  Talk about true dedication to your role!  That can’t be comfortable… How cute does she look though?  Too funny.  I can’t wait to see this one!

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera flashed a smile for the camera on set of the famous TV show in Manhattan, New York yesterday (March 20). I’m happy they didn’t cancel show. I’m not exactly an avid fan but I do like my Ugly Betty fix on the weekends.

Rumors say Ugly Betty’s future was at risk because of America’s diva attitude. Apparently this started after Lindsay Lohan’s special appearance on the show had to be cut back to four episodes instead of the six planned because America couldn’t stand her. I can’t see America being a diva, she seems to be such a sweet girl.

America Ferrera may be called America because of her TV acting, but that’s not what people call her at home. In Woodland Hills, California they call her Georgina.

A former classmate [says], “She went by her middle name in school.” Managers made her go back to “America” for her first role, in Real Women Have Curves.

I know this probably really isn’t surprising but it’s funny how celebrities like to change their names. I even have to admit, Taylor isn’t my real name either. So why do we feel like we have to change them? Is it so we can become something or someone we’re not?

Here is a short list of celebrities that have changed their names (and don’t think my real name will be listed here!):

Anna Nicole Smith = Vickie Lynn Hogan
Barry Manilow = Barry Alan Pincus
Ben Kingsley = Krishna Banji
Carmen Electra = Tara Leigh Patrick
Christian Slater = Christian Michael Leonard Hawkins
Courtney Love = Love Michelle Harrison
Demi Moore = Demetria Gene Guynes
Elle Macpherson = Eleanor Nancy Gow
Elton John = Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Joan Rivers = Joan Alexandra Molinsky
Kirk Douglas = Issur Danielovitch Demsky
River Phoenix = River Jude Bottom

“‘I’m very lucky in that respect – the expectations are really low for me because I play Ugly Betty. I can just walk out in jeans and a T-shirt and people are like, “Man, you look good!””

– The decidedly non-ugly America Ferrera on the public’s surprise at how gorgeous she really is.   You can read more of her interview with The Mirror here.

Celebrities touched by cancer in some way got together for “Stand Up to Cancer,” an hour-long, commercial-free fundraising show aired simultaneously on NBC, ABC and CBS. If you missed the show and want to help, you can still make your donation at StandUp2Cancer.org (here is where your money is going and why!).

“This is an absolutely historic night, thanks to the unbelievable generosity of the three networks,” producer and cancer survivor Laura Ziskin told the audience at the Kodak Theatre before the show began.

“We hope we’re going to make you laugh, and I know we’re going to make you cry, so I have some party favors,” she said as she tossed packets of Kleenex into the crowd.

Cancer survivors Lance Armstrong and Elizabeth Edwards kicked off the program with statistics: Cancer kills 550,000 Americans and six million people worldwide each year.

“That’s the equivalent of 9/11 every two days,” Armstrong said.

Fabulous celebrities at StandUp2Cancer include: America Ferrera, Jennifer Garner, Salma Hayek, Kate Bosworth, Ellen Degeneres, Christina Ricci, Sharon Osbourne, Mandy Moore, Jimmy Fallon, Melissa Ethridge, Camila Alves, Fran Drescher, Dana Delany, Elizabeth Berkley, Casey Affleck, Charles Barkley, Shemar Moore, Forest Whitaker, Tony Hawk, Neil Patrick Harris, Mekhi Phifer, Marg Helgenberger, Melina Kanakarades and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Last week footage was shown on The Soup where America Ferrera rolled her eyes at Blake Lively talking about her show, Gossip Girl. Blake denies that there is a feud between the two of them…

“She’s one of my best friends in the whole wide world and honestly, when you’re sitting in a room for three hours doing satellite interviews… We were staring at a Post-It (note) with a smiley face, so I think I probably rolled my eyes a hundred times. I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, this thing is still going on?.’”

I’m glad that Blake said something. I knew that America wasn’t that way. Even though America is such a diva!

To be fair, I should probably say, “Betty Suarez, what are you wearing?”  I swear I think the costume designers for Ugly Betty have the best job.

Here’s the lovely - and when not in character, very chic - America Ferrera on the set of her hit show, which has just begun filming its third season in New York.  This is actually one of Betty’s better outfits, I think.  At least the colors match!

After America Ferrera was seen on the set of Ugly Betty wearing “a big diamond ring on that magic finger,” rumors started to fly thick and fast that boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams had popped the question.

However, her rep tells Us Magazine that the couple are not engaged. The magazine claims that “the ring could be part of a plot twist on her hit ABC show.”

Betty Suarez is getting married? Now that’s news!

America and Ryan were previously rumored to be engaged in February 2007, but since they’re not married yet, we can assume that either this is the longest engagement in Hollywood, or that like most rumors, it just wasn’t true.

Rehabbed sometime actress and current personal shopper to herself, Lindsay Lohan, has been pulled out of a guest starring role on the hit TV show ‘Ugly Betty‘.

Lindsay was set to play a girl who works in a fast food restaurant that is befriended by the show’s star Betty, played by Emmy-winning actress America Ferrera. The plotline involved Betty trying to get Lindsay’s character a job at Mode fashion magazine.

We hear that Lindsay’s PR company pulled the plug, telling the Mean Girls’ actress that it “wouldn’t be a good for her PR wise.”

How is having her on a hit show, actually doing some work not a good PR move? We all hear she is filming in between shopping and she shows up at a dance studio to be convienently photographed, we haven’t seen her do anything work related. The movies she’s chosen recently have been box-office bombs. It’s silly to not get her on a hit show and get some good press for her work.
