Marlo Thomas Joins Ugly Betty

It looks like the ever-so-old Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) will be out done with dating age gaps when Marlo Thomas gets on board the Ugly Betty ship and points her sails right at Daniel Meade (Veitch).

Jayma Mays Pops Up on Pushing Daisies

Jayma Mays has already made a splash last season on Ugly Betty as Henry’s (surprise) girlfriend, and on Heroes as Hiro‘s dear Charlie. Now she’ll be popping up again on ABC’s new show, Pushing Daisies this fall!

Mays will be making a guest appearance on Pushing Daisies as Elsita, a woman who works and lives in a windmill (Kristin). While this seems like a rather odd role, it’ll probably fit right as Pushing Daisies promises to be a wonderfully quirky show.

Come on out, closeted (or proud) Dawson’s Creek fans!

Ugly Betty is practically the new Friends with all its celebrity guest stars.
