This cast photo makes me miss Ugly Betty just a little bit less.
Although we’re about to begin the seventh season of Desperate Housewives, a few new faces might help keep the ABC series fresh.
A few weeks ago, we got to a glimpse of Brian Austin Green on set with Marcia Cross. Now, we’re getting a taste of what Vanessa Williams might bring to the show. (Doesn’t she seem right at home in the middle of these ladies?)

First Look: Brian Austin Green in Desperate Housewives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Desperate Housewives, Gossip,
Brian Austin Green was able to win over Vanessa Marcil and (new wife) Megan Fox, but what kind of effect will he have on Marcia Cross?
In the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives, the former 90210 star will play a handyman hired by Bree (Cross) to work on her home. That tattooed character will not only catch the eye of the redhead, but also the eye of new Wisteria Lane resident: Ugly Betty‘s Vanessa Williams.
“Suddenly by episode 4 they’re both going after him,” executive producer Bob Daly teased.
Season 7 of Housewives will debut on September 26.

First Look: Ugly Betty’s Wilhemina Slater with Her Drag Queen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
Who better to mock/emulate/impersonate Vanessa Williams than her very own brother?
In an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty, the actress’ real-life sibling, Chris Williams, will guest as “Wilheldiva Hater”—a more fabulous version of Mode‘s creative director.
How will Wilhelmina Slater feel about this drag queen? Well, if she didn’t find her lookalike so handy, she might just scratch her eyes out.
Look for Wilheldiva and Wilhelmina to meet on January 20.

Bright and early this morning, Chandra Wilson and Jim Parsons announced the nominees for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards.
Just like last year, we saw many first-timers named and a long list of cable acknowledgements (for both pay and basic channels). Thanks to expanded categories, we also saw a number of surprises (Flight of the Conchords, Family Guy) and overdue nominations (How I Met Your Mother, Big Love).
For the second year in a row, Mad Men, with its 16 nominations, topped all drama programs. Meanwhile, 30 Rock broke comedy records with a whopping 22 noms. Overall, HBO was the most-nominated network with 99 mentions while NBC - yes, NBC - came in second.
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris on Sept. 20 on CBS.

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,
Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.
Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.
So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!
