The smartest thing ABC did was remove Ugly Betty from the graveyard shift that is Friday nights and put it on Wednesday. Just as the show found its mojo again, ABC got stupid and abandoned it on a night no one is home watching TV (which is basically how my other fave Dollhouse got cancelled). Word on the street is that RuPaul will guest star on the dramedy. Carlos Leon, the very funny Kristen Johnson (who had me in stitches when she was a guest alongside Mark Consuelos on Andy Cohen's Bravo talk show, Watch What Happens) and Chris Williams, Vanessa's real-life brother will star on next weeks episode.
The episode, titled "Chica and the Man" all starts out when Wilhemina (Williams) becomes upset when she discovers she has a drag queen impersonator - Wilhediva Hater (portrayed by Williams' brother, Chris Williams). The fur flies with unexpected results amid guest stars who include RuPaul Charles as Rudolph, the emcee of the cabaret. Meanwhile Betty receives an award for her blog, which causes tension between her and Daniel. When she vents online, her fans in blogosphere escalate the feud, and the press hounds Daniel. Amanda rehires Helen (Kristen Johnston), but Willie orders Amanda to fire her -- which Amanda just can't bring herself to do. And Marc runs his own photo shoot with a famous director (played by Lourdes' dad, Carlos Leon). It sounds like major overload, but I can't wait to see this episode. I actually thought they would have Ru be the impersonator, but I guess that would be too easy. The episode airs WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
