Ugly Betty To Become Doable Beauty
In an attempt to juice up the exiled-to-Friday fourth season of Ugly Betty, ABC has instituted changes that could throw a wrench into the works of every entertainment news reporter who loves to crow, "America Ferrera was anything BUT ugly on the red carpet last night!" That's right, folks: Betty's getting pretty! Exactly what should we expect from this television makeover?
EW's Michael Ausiello learned of a focus group designed to solicit feedback to Betty's new look, which includes shaped eyebrows, makeup, and Chanel. This is important, because as Marc Jacobs's terrible new Simpsons tattoos have shown us, people in fashion look classy and put-together at all times.
Of course, this makeover is just small potatoes compared to Betty's eventual big step: the removal of her braces. Fortunately, at that point, she'll be able to kiss all the lesbians she wants.

But Betty's "TeeVee" Ugly was what endeared her to millions of fat American slobs. Who will we root for as we spend yet another Thursday night home alone in our 2X sweat pants?
At least she'll still be ugly on the inside.
Cue Fox's More to Love.
Don't forget the straightened hair! Hollywood and TV HATE kinky hair. Even on African Americans. Even Nicole Kidman used to have auburn curls. The only people allowed to be "do-able" with kinky hair have it in ringlets, like the "ethnics" on Police Procedurals like CSI NY and Cold Case. And Bernadette Peters. Always Bernadette Peters. What were we talking about again?
The original Soap Opera from Columbia...had Betty go pretty....so it is a natural transition for the character in America to do the same....I was a fan of the Soap Opera and of the TV show so I look forward to the transformation...and it's been a long time coming....
Mmmmmm, Bernadette Peters.
Ha. Cold comfort.
