Ugly Rumors about Salma Hayek

Are things going to get ugly for Salma Hayek again?

Last fall, Hayek, who executive produces Ugly Betty, appeared on seven episodes of the Golden Globe-winning series as Sofia Reyes, a magazine editor who pretends to fall in love with Daniel Meade, a womanizing editor-in-chief played by Eric Mabius. Hayek's gig ended after Sofia reveals she duped Daniel in order to write an article about snagging a man in 60 days.

This is what I'm hearing: Hayek was on set last week shooting some new scenes.

However, reps for the show and Hayek insist there are no plans for a Hayek return.

It would be a hoot to see Hayek's real-life pregnancy worked into the show. Perhaps Sofia returns to tell Daniel she's expecting their love child? Sounds like a perfect stunt to increase ratings during the all-important May sweeps period, doesn't it?

Hayek, 40, announced earlier this month she is pregnant with her first child. The baby's father is Hayek's fiancé, French gazillionaire businessman Francois-Henri Pinault.
