Becki and Michael Urie are featured among the “small-screen stars who kept us captivated”, according to People Magazine (and practically everyone else)! Read what they had to say about the funny duo below.
MICHAEL URIE & BECKI NEWTON ON UGLY BETTY
Urie and Newton play off each other with campy glee as Betty’s (America Ferrera) tormentors Marc St. James and Amanda Tanen. Whether whooping it up, pom-poms and all, as Mode’s flamboyant cheerleading squad of two (”You’re Elle, you smell, your team can go to hell!”) or going head-to-head with guest star Lindsay Lohan, they’re a laugh-out-loud duo you wouldn’t want to cross.
The New York Observer caught up with Becki and Chris at the launch of Gucci’s Tattoo Heart Collection. Read below for what they had to say on singer Rihanna and the current economy crisis.
On November 20th, at Fifth Avenue’s three-story Gucci behemoth, the heels were treacherously high, the paparazzi were out in full force, the fur-lined suede coats were not on sale (but yours for just $5,960)—it felt like 2006!
The crowd was there to celebrate a new line of Gucci products that benefit UNICEF; the singer Rihanna stars in the ad campaign and was the evening’s host (though after a brief appearance in the women’s department, she departed with her bodyguard and entourage of seven for a private dinner in the Oak Room at the Plaza). Ugly Betty star Becki Newton and hubby Chris Diamantopoulos were both clad in head-to-toe Gucci and Ms. Newton was star-struck over Rihanna’s (brief) presence.
“I’m still hung up on ‘Umbrella’,” she said.
“She dances around the apartment singing it,” said Mr. Diamantopoulos (who met Ms. Newton in the Times Square subway station).
“I know that everyone’s moved past that song and there are a bunch of new songs, but I can’t get over that one,” said Ms. Newton.
Was anyone here worried about the economy?
“Well it’s so ironic to have that discussion here in the Gucci store on Fifth Avenue,” said Ms. Newton. “Sacrifice when you’re among beautiful bags and beautiful clothes …”
“We try to always be aware of what’s going on and just be smart,” said Mr. Diamantopoulos.
“As two actors, in a business that ebbs and flows, in an economy that ebbs and flows, I think we’re just trying to be as careful as possible,” echoed Ms. Newton.
“We’re just aware of how lucky we are,” said Mr. Diamantopoulos. “It’s ridiculous. When you really consider what’s happening …”
I can’t believe I missed this, but last night Becki stopped by Late Night with Conan O’Brien to promote Ugly Betty. I just found out myself, all thanks to the wonderful staff at Ugly Is In. However, Becki looked sexy (Conan himself said so!) in a short black dress, as she talked about Ugly Betty and her auditions for Broadway. She even gave us a look at what she looked like when she did a rap for one audition!
Almost 300 screen captures and a video of the interview have been added to the site. Once again, thanks to Ugly Is In! I have also added the video from Becki’s previous appearance on the talk show, earlier this year.
Becki Newton and husband Chris Diamantopoulos was spotted on the Miami Beach the same day they attended the Annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I usually don’t post paparazzi-photos on Becki-Newton.org, but after receiving a number of requests for the photos, I decided to at least give you links where you can see them. ;)
Becki and Chris look so happy and cute together, so the photos are worth a peek. See them HERE and HERE!
OK! magazine featured a number of celebrities and how they celebrate and get into Halloween spirit; and Becki Newton was one of them. Read below on how she’ll celebrate Halloween this year.
Some busy celebs, like Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton don’t have time to pick up a costume, so they’re finding less time-consuming ways to get into the Halloween spirit.
“I’m not really [dressing up], but I like the fall in general, like pumpkins, and I just went to William Sonoma today and got some pumpkin smelling candles.”
It’s true. Sources close to ABC’s Ugly Betty confirm to me that Lindsay Lohan has been cut from the show.
“They don’t plan to have her back for more episodes,” says a high-level insider. “And they are cutting her out of the episodes they have already shot.”
According to my sources, the main driving force for this decision is that Lindsay was not gelling creatively with the series. “She was not so interested in creating a character,” another reliable insider close to Betty tells me. “She was more interested in just playing herself, and that doesn’t work on a show like this with such heightened reality.”
Just thought I’d stop by and let you all know that a) This site is not dead, I’m just working out of town for the summer and therefore don’t have the time to keep Becki-Newton.net updated, and b) The selected questions you sent me have been forwarded to Becki and will be answered as soon as she has the time.
Now onto even more exciting things - Becki co-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly on August 13th! She was completely adorable and so funny as she sat next to Regis Philbin for the show. The Host Chat can be seen at the official site of the show.
