It looks like Ugly Betty’s new Wednesday timeslot is going to be a real drag for Wilhelmina Slater — but in a good way.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Vanessa Williams’ real-life bro, Chris Williams (a.k.a. Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Crazy Eyez Killah!), will guest star in an early ‘10 episode as Willie’s drag queen doppelganger, Wilhediva Hater.
Good, right? Wait, it gets better.
Here’s the set-up, per an Ugly insider: Willie gets tipped off that someone has been regularly impersonating her at a drag club and she tries to shut the act down. That is, until she realizes that faux Willie could come in handy by attending meetings and events on her behalf. As a result, “The two end up working together,” says my spy.
Two words: Gen. Ius.

OMG!! This is just fantastic- first it was Becki Newton's brother, Matt... and now Vanessa Williams's brother, Chris of whom is the next family sibling to follow in Matt's footsteps by appear on Ugly Betty.
It sounds too good to be true, and yet, it is! I just can't wait to see these photos and of him with lipstick, mascara, donning high heels, a fake wig and a dress :) ! If the make-up artists and costume department get this one right, then Chris's 'drag queen look' could surpass America's Betty's hot dog from 4.04's 'The Weiner, The Bun & The Boob'.
The face-off between Vanessa as Willie and Chris as Willie number 2 in this episode is literatelly going to be one hell of a kind- I wonder if they'll end up in a cat fight.
I would pay money to see those two going at each other. But of course in real life, the feeling between Chris and Vanessa is mutual as bro and sis.
This is clever casting by the Betty peeps- I've never seen Chris on Curb Your Enthusiasm but I'm sure he is going to rip it up as Wilheldiva Hater.
Brilliant move indeed.
