Is Ugly Betty Ending? And Who Gets the Girl?
Chris Gorham just twittered an hour ago that he's back on the set of Ugly Betty and that "Ana Ortiz's baby is beautiful."
This makes us worry.
Not because of the baby comment (we've seen Ana's Paloma; she's a living angel!), but because of what sources have been spilling about Betty's fate: That the end may be near and Betty's ghosts of suitors past are circling.
Although Gorham himself has clarified via Twitter, "I'm not back on Ugly Betty. Just dropped by to visit my friends," according to sources, he may be very soon...
Inside sources tell me that ABC has been working on ways to try to save Ugly Betty (including the possibility of moving it to Wednesdays, as previously reported); however, if ratings don't improve by mid spring, it's possible that Betty will be canceled in May.
To that end, one well-placed Betty mole tells me: "The writers have accepted that this season may be the last and are brainstorming endings now, just in case. The big question is: Who will Betty end up with? The writers room is deeply divided."
I'm told it's down to three contenders, and they are...

Ugly Betty May Steal Eastwick Slot From Lost
Not even Jerry O'Connell's bare backside could save it.
Despite JOC telling us he was just shooting some "sexy scenes" last night on the set of Eastwick, the news has broken that his wife Rebecca Romijn's series is a goner. ABC has confirmed that no new episodes will be produced beyond the original 13-episode commitment.
So this means Lost is a shoo-in to come back to Wednesday nights, right?
Maybe not.
ABC insiders tell me another series might be headed for that cushy slot, and its star happens to rock a mean Guadalajara poncho...

Paula Abdul Is No Betty
This week is off to a grim start for Paula Abdul.
The dancing shows don't want her, and now she won't be bringing the pretty to Ugly Betty after all.
"Paula will not be on our show," an ABC spokesman tells E! News.
Abdul was slated to appear on the America Ferrera comedy as a temp at Mode who buddies up with Becki Newton's Amanda. The episode was supposed to begin shooting this week.
ABC did tease, however, that 3rd Rock From the Sun funnylady Kristen Johnston would be guest-starring on the show. No word if she'll be filling the shoes of Amanda's new friend or not.
Could this mean a return-to-Idol announcement may be imminent?
Fingers crossed!

Things Are Getting Ugly for Paula Abdul
We kid. It's actually quite the opposite.
On the heels of leaving American Idol and endless speculation as to where she will end up next, E! News has confirmed that Paula Abdul is in talks to guest star on ABC's Ugly Betty.
That's right, folks, the little Paula that could continues to rebound after last week's A.I. debacle. While info about Abdul's potential role on the underdog series is being kept secret, our best frenemy Michael Ausiello reports she'll play a Mode temp who becomes fast friends with Becki Newton's Amanda.
We can only imagine the misadventures these two will find.
If ABC keeps this up, they may just land Paula for Dancing With the Stars after all. We'll keep you posted...

Accidentally on Purpose's Ashley Jensen Talks Ugly Betty Return
Now that the hilarious Ashley Jensen is Jenna Elfman's sidekick on CBS' new Accidentally on Purpose (a pilot that made all of team WWK laugh out loud repeatedly), does that mean her Ugly Betty days are over?
