The popular comedy Ugly Betty is all set to launch ‘Victoria Beckham’ for her first acting role on prime-time US television, appearing as herself in an episode on the show.
However, Ugly Betty is a replica of the Indian show, ‘Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin’. Our Jassi is the Indian answer to the US based Ugly Betty.
The cast of ‘Ugly Betty’ came to Hollywood’s Mondrian Hotel Monday night to celebrate this week’s release of the show’s season one DVD, but they also spoke to Access Hollywood about the rumored season two appearance of a rather ‘posh’ guest star, Victoria Beckham!
‘I’ve heard rumors that she might come on the show and do a little guest spot, which would be fun,’ said ‘Betty’ star America Ferrera. ‘She definitely belongs in the world, in the MODE world. She’d definitely be somebody that Wilhelmina is good buddies with.’
According to co-star Eric Mabius, Ferrera may not be wrong about Posh being ‘good buddies’ with the devilish MODE magazine creative director, played by Vanessa Williams.
‘I have heard she is going to be a bridesmaid for Wilhelmina’s wedding,’ said Mabius, who plays Betty’s boss, Daniel Meade. He also implied that Victoria would be playing herself in the planned episode.
‘That is what I’ve heard…I don’t know for sure,’ he coyly added
Victoria Beckham, the fashionista wife of English soccer player David Beckham, and a highly applauded singer will play a celebrity bridesmaid in an episode of the popular show based on life at a fashion magazine. The episode will be filmed in the autumn.
Posh, a member of the reunited Spice Girls British pop group arrived in Los Angeles in July in a media blitz as her husband began a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team worth $250 million. Victoria Beckham insisted she had no desire to launch a Hollywood career as an actress, saying she was devoted to expanding her fashion line, ‘dVb’ Style. Earlier this month, US publishers acquired rights to her UK best-selling style guide That Extra Half an Inch – a reference to her love of high heels.
But the Beckhams have struggled to establish themselves in the United States as the mega stars they were in Europe.
Victoria Beckham’s reality TV special chronicling her move to California and intended to showcase her humor and personality backfired amid mediocre ratings and damning reviews. David Beckham has been dogged by injuries that have kept him on the bench for much of his two months wit months with the Galaxy
