Vanessa Williams Teases UGLY BETTY 'Musical Episode' On Wendy Williams Show
Tuesday, July 14, 2009; Posted: 10:07 AM - by BWW News Desk

"Ugly Betty" star Vanessa Williams guested on The Wendy Williams Show yesterday Monday, July 13th and spoke on a variety of subjects, including the news of an upcoming musical episode for the ABC comedy serieS. Williams mentioned that is would be happening this season.

A musical episode has been rumored for the Broadway friendly series for the last couple of years. In 2007 it was reported that the show secured the talents of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (HAIRSPRAY, upcoming CATCH ME IF YOU CAN) and Jerry Mitchell (LEGALLY BLONDE, HAIRSPRAY, BROADWAY BARES) but the writers strike halted any production at that time. The show employs the talents of many stage actors in both starring and guest roles each week. Patti LuPone, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kristen Chenoweth are just a few of the theatre favorites who have graced episodes.

William dished about the new season of "Ugly Betty" and performed a song from her new CD, "The Real Thing." She also revealed she'd love to return to Broadway if it could be worked out with her shooting schedule.

"Ugly Betty" is a Golden Globe and Emmy winning comedy starring America Ferrera in the title role, along with Eric Mabius, Judith Light, Rebecca Romijn and Vanessa Williams. The series premiered on September 28, 2006, on ABC in the United States.

Sure, it's fun to talk about new UB products and the faces and minds behind the show. But it's also fun to talk about the show itself, even when it's not running. In fact, I think it's the best time, since we're now in between seasons and have had more time to digest everything we've seen.

So, questions:

1. Have you seen any other versions of Betty le Fea, or, indeed, the original show itself? How would you rate the other show(s) in comparison to Ugly Betty?

2. Which season did you prefer? Or is it more about specific episodes?

3. This is going way back to season one, but am I the only one who thought Walter was an emotionally stunted control freak? People have complained that he was whiny, but there were episodes in which he reminded me of a ninth grader who won't give his girlfriend space and won't eat anything except hamburgers. ("I want real food, Betty.") It always disturbed me that the Suarez family wanted Betty to get back with Walter.

4. Was Betty better off in her apartment, or do you think the writers made the right choice in having her move back home?

Let's discuss! :)

New York TV stylist Patricia Field has designed a limited edition Ugly Betty Diet Coke bottle.

Field, who's best known for managing the chic wardrobes of shows such as Sex and the City and Ugly Betty, has created a bright pink leopard-print bottle, which comes with stickers featuring outfits worn by America Ferrera's Betty in the current series of the Channel 4 comedy drama.

Unfortunately for Ugly Betty fans and memorabilia collectors, the bottles are only available at branches of Selfridges.

Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz and her husband, musician Noah Lebenzon, have welcomed their first child, a daughter, on Saturday, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

"She is elated and completely glowing," said Ortiz's rep. "She is surrounded by her friends and family and so happy to be a mom. She is just really enjoying the moment. The baby is absolutely beautiful."

The baby girl – Paloma Louise Lebenzon – was born at 4:25 p.m. in New York City and weighed 7 lbs., 10 oz.

The proud parents took their time deciding on a name and worked from a short list of five choices, wanting to get to know the baby before picking a name that fit. "We haven't decided on a name yet," Ortiz had told PEOPLE from the hospital. "But we are getting close."

In the days leading up to the birth, Ortiz, 38, said she was "anxiously awaiting" but well prepared for the big day. "My husband's phone number is on speed dial, my deep yoga breaths have been practiced and my bags are all packed except for the toothbrushes, so I'm all set. I'm ready to have the baby!"

I'm not going to do a weekly post, but if you guys want to or post your thoughts behind a cut to gain conversation, go for it. :)

Happy Watching!! :)
