Ring in the New Year with Ugly Betty

Ugly may be the new beautiful, but SoapNet and ABC Family are about to upgrade to gorgeous just in time to ring in the New Year. ABC is launching a "Be Ugly '07" campaign that asks America to resolve to be real, be smart, be passionate, be true to yourself and be ugly, just like Ugly Betty in 2007. The campaign will be featured on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, where hundreds of Betty look-alikes will be in Times Square and Walt Disney World handing out Ugly Betty masks to help people see the world through Betty's eyes.

In an effort to get fans into the world of Betty, ABC Family will host a marathon of all 11 episodes on 12/31 from 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. ET and on SoapNet 1/1/07 from 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. ET. Whether you've watched every episode or none at all, this is the perfect time to begin watching one of the best new shows of the season!

From Emmy Winner to Rodeo Champ

Jack Bauer may have saved the country multiple times, but Kiefer Sutherland has proved that he really is the "Jack" of all trades. From actor to producer to director to band manager, Sutherland certainly keeps himself busy. The latest accomplishment on his resume is rodeo champion! Sutherland's rodeo days began back in 1998 when he took some time off from acting to pursue the rodeo circuit. Ride 'em cowboy! Season six of 24 is set to premiere in a two-hour, two-night special on January 14 and 15.

No Break for Day Break

It looks like the Lost fans have spoken and ABC has listened -- effective immediately, ABC has yanked Day Break from the schedule. The series, meant to be a satisfactory replacement for Lost over the course of the 13-week hiatus, pulled in roughly 4 million viewers each week. The series is still available for viewing on ABC.com, but as to whether or not ABC plans to air the remaining episodes online is yet to be determined. I may have been one of the very few fans of the series, but I'm hoping they provide some sort of closure. I, for one, would like to find out who really killed the D.A. and why Hopper keeps reliving the same day!

The 64th Annual Golden Globe Award Nominees

Unlike the Emmys, it always seems like the Golden Globes choose the nominees most television fans feel are the most deserving of recognition. Many times, these nominees are those who were snubbed at Emmy time, which of course makes for a much happier television fan. This year's nominees are a varied bunch and for the first time, I cannot think of one single nomination that is not much deserved! Newcomers Heroes, Ugly Betty, Dexter and Big Love scored nominations in major categories, but I think the Lost fans will be among the happiest since the series not only received a nod for Best Drama, but Evangeline Lily was also nominated for Best Actress in a Drama. The 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC on Monday, January 15, 2007. And the Nominees Are....

An Interview with Misha Harris (Agent Alameda, Watch Over Me)

Many actors know they want to break into show business at an early age and live their lives based on their ambition. Some do go on to get college degrees, but usually don't make use of their education when they score a great gig. Misha Harris, an up-and-coming actress, has lived life to the fullest before appearing in her first acting role. After graduating with a degree in Social Sciences/Economics from USC, Misha had a successful career in real estate, worked as an asset manager for Barry Diller at USA Networks and trained to become a Master Chef from the Culinary Arts Institute for Food and Wine. I had the opportunity to chat with the very lovely Misha about her favorite beaches, the concept of a telenovella and her roles on My Network TV's Fashion House and Watch Over Me.

An Interview with James Morrison (Bill Buchanan, 24)

When we think of 24, instantly we feel tense and excited at the same time. Those jaw-clenching, edge-of-your-seat episodes are some of the very best television has to offer. I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with James Morrison, who portrays Bill Buchanan on the Emmy-winning series and discovered that not only is he one of the nicest actors I've had the pleasure of interviewing, but this calm and laid back actor is nothing at all like his alter ego on 24. Learn more about this interesting actor, what it's like going through life with a famous name and get some very interesting scoop on season six of the Emmy-winning series 24.

Winter Hiatus: When Will My Favorite Shows Return?

Doesn't it seem like just yesterday that all our favorite shows premiered? Sick of repeats? It's almost cruel to make fans wait from May until September to learn the outcome of the cliffhangers, only to dangle some bait and force us to wait a month or two, or even three in some cases. It may seem like an eternity, but those winter blues won't last too long since our shows will be back before we know it. From the much-anticipated season six premiere of 24 to the agonizing long awaited return of Lost, find out when your favorite shows will return and begin counting the days!
