Michael Loves Hoodies!
Michael Urie: Hoodies are stylish
Michael Urie: Hoodies are stylishMichael Urie says he wears hooded jumpers like they are “fresh pieces of couture”.
The 30-year-old actor achieved worldwide acclaim for his portrayal of stylish personal assistant Marc St. James in the popular US comedy series Ugly Betty about life at a hip New York fashion magazine.
Despite always looking trendy on-screen, Michael admits he isn’t particularly interested in fashion in his spare time, and prefers relaxing in tattered casual wear. Nevertheless, the actor does concede that whatever he wears, he wears it with panache.
“Probably the hoodies that I wear almost every day. They’re falling apart, but I wear them like they are fresh pieces of couture,” he replied when asked what the most shocking garment in his wardrobe was.

Michael admits that in real life he has much more in common with the title character of Ugly Betty, played by actress America Ferrera. Betty is famous for looking un-groomed and un-coordinated, which the actor admits is a look he frequently sports.
“In real life, I’m much more like Betty than Marc in the fashion department!” he blushed.

Ugly Betty Violated Ethics Code ?
Above: Claire (Judith Light) with Amanda (Becki Newton) and Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) (ABC)
Most people are hardly P.C (politically correct) constantly violating ethics in the workplace. According to findings by Global Compliance, many TV characters are rarely P.C as they constantly 'violate' rules whilst at work.
Ugly Betty was singled out of course for this. The series and "Glee" each had 2 violations per episode.
The Global Compliance wrote:
On "Betty," Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) forces a receptionist to reveal personal info about Claire Meade (Judith Light), then uses it to influence business decisions (Misuse or Misappropriation of Information or Assets).
Marquee Blogs- CNN
But of course, if it were NOT for this to happen, would it make the show less enjoyable, interesting to watch? The answer to that would be, yes it would.
As much as these grievances may be annoying in real life, in TV, especially on Ugly Betty, people forget that these types of situations, no matter how unethical they may be and sound, keep the show moving and fans interested. Without it, there would be nothing remote to talk about.
Besides, it's only a fictitious TV show, right?

Hello And Good Bye - My Betty Highs & Lows Of 2010
By Waiching
The idea for the blog post title came after watching Hello Goodbye in season 4, hence the Hello and Goodbye part. Get it?!
The Lows and Goodbyes
January 26 2010 - This was the day fans dreaded as the nightmare became a reality; the sudden announcement made by ABC that Ugly Betty will not be renewed after season 4 and that the last ever episode will air in April of this year.
Watching the series finale episode - I was slightly disappointed by it, but that didn't compare to realising and coming to the terms with that it was the last one, ever and that there were no more episodes after that. Sadly, Ugly Betty didn't even manage to achieve 100 episodes in its 4 year run. As it deserved a 100th ep.
ABC - ABC treated this show and the fans appallingly throughout season 4, and yet the worse was yet to come after they-yes ABC- cut the original episode order for season 4 from 22 episodes to 20. Nuff ' said.
Ugly Betty News - Fans were bemused after seeing a replacement showbiz news site when they typed the web address for Ugly Betty News. Alas, UBN was gone as early as in March. It was a great site too- shame it went away.
Ugly Is In - The disappearance of fan site Ugly Is In, although frankly speaking the site hadn't been updated regularly. Nowadays, the site is replaced by a advertisement selling dietary, slimming pills. WTH.
The Highs and Hellos
It was a show that was like nothing else on TV- It was different, unique but also warm, heartfelt, funny and dramatic all at the same time. In contrast to the Reality and drama shows, Ugly Betty proved to offer a different type of dramedy series, encompassing many different characters, story-lines, scenarios and themes.
The great ensemble cast- Even though they are all doing different things and projects, individually but led by America Ferrera, it was one of the best male and female TV castings, ever. They were like family altogether as they turned up every day to work on the show. Just amazing.
The fans of Ugly Betty - In spite of all the shipping wars, the differences in opinion over the seasons and episodes, Ugly Betty was THAT show that enabled fans from across the globe to get together and share their thoughts, ideas and form friendships on Twitter, Facebook etc.
Fans who continuously visit this site - 9 months on since the last ever episode, I am so pleased that fans who love Ugly Betty as much as I do continue to pay a visit to the Michael Urie and Ugly Betty Fan Blog site and whenever possible post comments, feedback.
I knew I did the right thing to keep this website going and NOT shut it down like the others have done with theirs, months after the series ended because you guys love Ugly Betty and are always interested in what I have to offer. So thanks! :-)
Meeting Michael Urie back in October - When I first read that Michael Urie was bringing Celebrity Autobiography to London, I knew I just couldn't pass up on this opportunity to see the show and to perhaps meet him in person as well, if I could.
Well guess what? I managed to succeed in both! - I was very lucky to meet Michael and to talk to him after the show. He was wonderful and a really nice guy. He signed my Ugly Betty 2010 calendar as well. It was a memory I will never forget. Ever. I do hope he returns to London next year.
