Ugly Betty returned with a new episode last night, entitled “Bad Amanda”. And just as the title implies, it had a lot of Becki’s character on the show - Amanda, duuh - in it! What did you guys think of the episode? And even more important, what did you think of Becki’s performance?
Come back soon for screen captures from the episode, as usual!
Another sneak peek video of Ugly Betty episode 3×10 “Bad Amanda” have surfaced. Check it out below! And don’t forget to catch the episode tonight, 8PM on ABC!
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.
Here’s a great new sneak peek of a scene from next week’s episode of Ugly Betty, entitled “Bad Amanda”. It’ll air on December 4, and I’m sure there will be lots of Becki! “Hi… I couldn’t help but notice you looking at us. And by us, I mean me.” Don’t you just love flirty-Amanda?!
“Betty, you know that fashion is clothes, right?”

I have added 138 screen captures of last night’s episode of Ugly Betty, entitled “When Betty Met YETI”. Although Becki wasn’t in the episode that much, it was a great one, and the writers are doing a great job so far this season. The next episode will air in two weeks - on December 4 - and it seems to have lots of Amanda/Betty in it! Watch the trailer here!
Not only did Becki attend another new event yesterday, but she also stopped by CW11’s Morning Show to talk about some Ugly Betty-related topics. They even showed a hilarious clip from tonight’s episode! Becki was super sweet during the interview, as always. Watch the entire interview here!
Don’t forget to tune into ABC tonight at 8PM, to catch another episode of Ugly Betty!
Becki Newton is featured in another article that’s praising her portrayal of Ugly Betty’s Amanda (not that we ever get tired of reading them!). This time, the article was published by New York Magazine. I’m so happy that Becki’s getting more and more of the recognition she deserves for this role-of-a-lifetime! Read the small excerpt from it below!
Now in its third season, Ugly Betty is beside the point. Not the show Ugly Betty, which still draws obsessive fans on Thursday nights, but the eponymous lead character, the plucky ugly duckling played by America Ferrera in a bad wig and braces. The conceit of Betty—that she’s a hardworking, wrong-side-of-the-tracks magazine assistant at Mode, a fictional Vogue populated with high-fashionista backstabbing—is getting stale. How long do people actually wear braces, anyway? But if Betty herself is losing steam, this has only provided more scene-stealing opportunities for her entertaining supporting cast. The standout among that crew—Michael Urie as Marc, Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina, Judith Light as Claire Meade—is Becki Newton, who plays Amanda, Mode’s sexy receptionist and resident underminer. Newton’s distinctly low-pitched voice and perfectly arched eyebrow accompany her devastating zingers, provoking a wealth of heh-heh rather than ha-ha moments, courtesy of the show’s writers. But that Amanda is also vulnerable, rather than just another mean girl, is entirely thanks to Newton.
“When I read the Ugly Betty pilot, I thought, Oh, this part’s funny,” says Newton, 30, who’s sitting across from me in the Upper West Side’s Cafe Lalo. She’s wearing a knit hobo cap and a loose-fitting sweater—a strikingly different ensemble from that of her gladiator-heeled character. “I said to my husband, ‘I’m going to get it!,’ ” she says. “But based on what? All my exquisite comedic work in a Nike commercial? Yet something about the character made perfect sense in my head, even though she’s so demented. I knew exactly how I wanted to portray her.”
