First of all, I’m sorry for neglecting the site for so long, the regular updates will continue from now on. School’s just around the corner, so if I don’t update the site for a couple of days, it’s because of – you know it – school.
Second, it seems that Salma will be in Ugly Betty (she’s also one of the executive producers). She’ll play a small part as a slap-happy maid in Betty’s fathers’ favorite soap. Here are some tidbits of what Salma’s said about the show and her role.
“…Hayek sees the title as a sarcastic take on a classic fish-out-of-water series. “It’s about how Betty is not ugly, but she is working in an ugly environment full of beautiful people,” she says. “She has a sense of humor about who she is and a self-confidence that a lot of times pretty girls don’t have.”…”
“…Hayek appears in cameos as a slap-happy maid in Betty’s dad’s favorite novela. How much fun is that? “Can you imagine? It was hysterical, it was hilarious,” she says. Let’s just hope she doesn’t upstage Betty.”
Ugly Betty will premiere September 28, 8 PM on ABC.

Salma Hayek started her acting career appearing in telenovelas. Now, the Oscar-nominated Mexican actress is bringing her own comedic take on one to network television.
Hayek is one of six executive producers on Ugly Betty, debuting Sept. 22 on ABC. America Ferrera plays Betty Suarez, a plump, decidedly unhip girl from New York City’s borough of Queens who works as an assistant to a fashion magazine publisher.
Asked whether the show’s title might offend viewers, Hayek said, “It’s sarcastic. Anybody who isn’t super skinny and really tall, some people think they’re really ugly. We’re making fun of it. We’re not really calling her ugly.”
The show is based on Yo Soy Betty La Fea, a Colombian telenovela. Telenovelas have been hugely successful in the United States on Spanish-language networks such as Univision and Telemundo.
“I’m sure that the American audience is very thirsty for something like this and they’re just going to love it,” Hayek said Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer meeting.
“It’s causing a lot of excitement in the Latin community. They will definitely not be able to get enough of this Betty.”
