Does the American Film Institute’s (AFI) top 10 TV shows match your picks? Here’s the rundown – awards will be handed out January 11th. Read the rest of this entry »

Rebecca Romjin took a break from the world of Ugly Betty to head out with her husband Jerry O’Connell to pick out a huge Noble Fir Christmas tree.

So Victoria Beckham isn’t exactly a fixture in the television world, but she did have her own special and recently appeared on “Ugly Betty” (and with the Spice Girls on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.). Anyway, I had to chuckle at her admission that she’s really not the best singer, dancer or actress – way to sell your talents, Posh!

Victoria Beckham told Elle magazine (January issue), “It became very obvious from the start [of my career] that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a ‘natural.’ You know, I’ve never been that good at anything, to be completely honest.”

Another thing Victoria Beckham isn’t good at? Smiling for pictures.

Kiss singer Gene Simmons is set for a guest starring role on “Ugly Betty” – rumored to be playing receptionist Amanda’s father. However, no confirmation about his role has been given, with Gene Simmons staying particularly mum about his guest role on “Ugly Betty.

According to Simmons, “I’m shooting Ugly Betty - not the character, the show. Can’t tell you just yet who I’m playing or what it’s about. But it might give you a chuckle.”

Looks like “Ugly Betty” and “High School Musical 2” are family favorites, as they each took home awards Wednesday night at the Family Television Awards.

America Ferrera won a best actress award for her role as Betty on “Ugly Betty,” while the series won best comedy. Ferrera can add the Family Television Award to her growing list of awards: Golden Globe, Emmy and Screen Actors Guild honoors.

Zac Efron took the best actor award for his role as Troy Bolton in “High School Musical 2,” while the Disney movie nabbed best movie musical award.
