Timed to coincide with the debut of the Be Ugly '07 marketing campaign, ABC Family is airing an all-day Ugly Betty marathon on New Year's Eve. Ironically, this announcement was made to the press by Betty's less-than-ugly producer Salma Hayek and her friends - Salma Hayek's left breast and Salma Hayek's right breast. If you've been watching The Office on Thursday nights, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on the adventures of the Suarez clan. The show, one of the few break-out hits of 2006, is a joyful concoction - part telenovela, part comedy. With its strong female performances and pop aesthetic, it's Almodovar for the boob tube. Between this and the Arrested Development, Reno 911, Christmas Story and Twilight Zone marathons, you may not have to talk to your own family once this holiday season.

Unless they made this annoucement a month ago, those pictures are for the wrong time. That press conference was over a month ago.

I am tuning in for this marathon for sure. I've only been able to see one episode of "Ugly Betty" and this marathon is the perfect way for me to get caught up and up to date. "Ugly Betty" has been nominated for a People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama. I was lucky enough to vote early because I work with the People's Choice Community, but you still have a chance to vote at http://www.pcavote.com . The site now has a message board where you can ask your favorite celebrity a question and it might be chosen to be answered. Check it out and tune to watch The People's Choice Awards on Jan 9th at 9pm on CBS to see who wins. Queen Latifah is this years host so you know it's going to be a great show!

I have to commend you Julia for picking such fine pictures. You are an asset to our company. (I work for Time Warner in the cable division).
