RIHANNA HAS A BIG TATTOOED HEART



Rihanna likes charity just as much as she does fashion.  The singer made two appearances last night for UNICEF.  Firstly, RiRi stopped by Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan Unicef Snowflake Lighting Ceremony, then she dropped by the Gucci event at their 5th Avenue store.

Rihanna is the official face of the Gucci Tattoo Heart collection. Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said of her muse, "She represents the perfect Gucci woman. She's so talented, she's so fresh, she's so beautiful.  She's putting her face, as a celebrity, to a very right cause that's dear to all of us."

RiRi was joined by Ugly Betty's Becki Newton and Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford.  Gucci will donate 25% of the proceeds from the bags, shoes and clothes that are part of the Tattoo Heart collection to UNICEF.  Fashion and charity are the best combo ever!


          

UGLY BETTY BURNS MY RETINAS



Aye, Betty Suarez! Turn down that electric jacket, it's hurting my eyes!

We spotted America Ferrera and Becki Newton shooting an episode of Ugly Betty on location in New York City this afternoon.  Betty may have been wearing her most colorful outfit yet, with purple tights and a pumpkin orange jacket. 

There's been some dramz on set with Lindsay Lohan guest spot.  Apparently LiLo's role got cut down from 6 to 4 episodes because she was a nightmare on set (whaa?).  A source told US Weekly that "Lindsay would show up every day with an entourage of people. She smoked 24/7, and after she left, they had to re-paint her dressing room it was such a mess."  Others say it was America who couldn't handle Lindsay "stealing her thunder". Oooh.

The best part is the pantsing.  America caused LiLo to accidentally flash the cast during an episode entitled "Granny Pants."  Lindsay - who played Betty's high school enemy - was supposed to "de-pants" America. But the scene calls for America to turn the tables – and pull down LiLo's pants instead and apparently Lindsay wasn't wearing underwear.  "Woops!"  Can't wait til we see this on tv, the cattiness will be palpable.


     

UGLY BETTY SWEATS ON SET



America Ferrera is so adorable, even when she's dressed up as Ugly Betty.  We spotted the star on set (who was hard to miss in her pink, floral print dress and green stripped tights) in its new NYC location along with co-stars Michael Urie and Becki Newton


      

UGLY BETTY PLAYS BALL



America Ferrera and the rest of the Ugly Betty gang got on their best and brightest soft ball uniforms for the tapping of the season finale.  In some cases, like for Michael Urie, it looks like the uniforms were maybe slightly too form fighting, ahem.  It looks like Mode magazine is going to have a showdown on the baseball diamond, with guest apperances by Naomi Campbell and maybe even LiLo (I'll guess they'll be on team from Bitch magazine).
