Ugly Betty Says Goodbye Tonight

Tonight we say goodbye to ABC’s soaptastic Ugly Betty. During its four seasons the over-the-top dramady made America Ferrera a star and won her an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a SAG Award, breathed new life into the careers of Vanessa Williams, Judith Light and Tony Plana and introduced us to Michael Uri, Mark Indelicato and Becki Newton. It also treated fans to a lot of laughs, shocking plot twists and more than a few catfights, all centered in the sensationalized world of MODE magazine. As Ugly Betty takes its final bow it’s important to remember its most important theme, it’s what’s inside each of us that matters most.

Vanessa Williams Hosts the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards


Amid my initial reaction to 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominees I wasn't really paying attention to this year's host, Vanessa Williams. Don't get me wrong, I like Vanessa Williams and think she'll do a good job, but I fully expected them to choose Tyra Banks. Considering the popularity of America's Next Top Model and the upcoming move of her talk show to The CW, it seemed like network executive's dream come true. Of course, I still don't understand why the Daytime Emmys aren't begging and pleading with Ellen to host the show each year. Ellen would promote the hell out of it on her show and daytime fans love her.

Who do you think would do a better job as the Daytime Emmy host?
