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.
Yesterday, Becki Newton and husband Chris Diamantopoulos attended the Gucci Launches the Tattoo Heart Collection to Benefit UNICEF event, co-hosted by singer Rihanna. Becki looked awesome in a short dress and (very) high heels, as she was photographed on the black carpet.
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!
Before Ugly Betty made her a TV-star, Becki Newton appeared in several TV series in smaller roles. One of them was Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit in 2004. She then played Colleen Heaton, a woman tied to a wheelchair, that had been raped. Becki did a great job, even in this minor role, and exactly 100 screen captures of her appearance have been added to the gallery.
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.”
ABC has launched a new feature on Ugly Betty’s official site; Ask Becki and Michael! The idea is that we all can send our questions to the duo, and the selected ones will be answered in an upcoming audio podcast (you are listening to the weekly podcast, right?)!
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!
