Despite Ugly Betty's horrible time slot on Friday night, the show is experience a creative resurgence this season. Hell, I'm even enjoying Daniel's storyline. Plus, they've added the hunkalicious Adam Rodriguez to the cast, at least temporarily, and it's amazing what he can do when he's not having to analyze a crime scene.

The premiere of the fourth season of Ugly Betty has been pushed back one week. ABC has been reworking its fall schedule and after the special two-hour episode, the series will be moved to its regular 9 p.m. time slot on Fridays.

While it's unclear what effect the schedule switcheroo will have on viewership, but there certainly are plenty of upcoming season highlights intended to entice audiences into tuning in like a guest appearance from Colombian pop star, Shakira.

Meanwhile, the stars of the show glammed it up to celebrate the forthcoming season in the Bahamas.

Singer Shakira will be shimmying her hips on Ugly Betty in a cameo on the ABC comedy series. The Colombian pop star (incidentally, the country where Ugly Betty originated) will be playing herself and according to E! Online she ""will be shooting her scenes in New York, but they will [appear] in the Bahamas episode--which will most likely air in November."

Show runner, Silvio Horta tells People magazine that it was a scene from the third episode, in which Betty "struts down to street to 'Hips Don't Lie'" after a botched makeover that inspired the casting decision.

Horta explains, "[Shakira's] an enormous Latina icon, as is Betty, and we thought it was a perfect fit." Sort of like this fetching black and white frock she's wearing while promoting her new album in Paris.

Sporting what looks like a designer hot dog costume, America Ferrera, filming along with co-star Michael Urie looked all kinds of Oscar Mayer glamorous on the set Ugly Betty.
The actress was obviously in costume for her role on the ABC comedy, which has her dressing up like she's ready to roll around on the BBQ grill and pop into a bun later on.

I have to say that for an outfit of processed meat, she actually looks pretty stylish.

Well, it looks like we can't call her ugly much longer. It looks like America Ferrera's Betty Suarez on the show Ugly Betty is looking quite polished and put together. While filming in New York City today, America looked fantastic as Betty with a quite put together red ensemble. She almost looks as good as America usually does when she's hanging out.

Sure, she had on some yellow ankle socks, but you can't expect Betty to change that much, can you? She's still got the braces and glasses too, which I love. All of this new found fashion must stem from the fact that Betty is no longer an assistant but Features Editor for fictitious Mode magazine. Seriously, I cannot wait for this new season. It's going to be so good!

Oh, and her new TV boyfriend played by Daniel Eric Gold is so entertaining. Those two are extremely cute together. Look at them kissing! I love it! Yay Betty! Hope ABC keeps up the new look during the whole season, since everyone loves the Betty look so much.

Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz and husband Noah Lebenzon are celebrating the arrival of their daughter, Paloma Louise Lebenzon. The little one--the first child for the couple--was delivered Saturday afternoon.

While pregnant, Ortiz expressed her excitement for her girl's impending arrival to Us Weekly, "I've heard lots of horror stories, but I'm actually really, really enjoying this!"

She added that her pregnancy was typified with a craving for sweets. "All I want is cake," the actress confessed before the baby was born. Don't we all?
