Okay, now that it's behind us, we can say that

Hey, remember when Salma Hayek was on
The Sinbad Show back in 1993? Yeah, neither do I, but apparently that was the last time she was on a television show. After the long absence from the tube, Hayek will jump in front of the camera again for a few episodes of
Ugly Betty starting on November 2 (just in time for sweeps). Hayek is currently an executive producer of the ABC series. Technically, this won't be the first time Hayek has appeared on the show. In the series pilot she can be seen acting in a telenovela playing on Betty's television. We'll see if Hayek's appearance helps jack up the ratings for
Ugly Betty. Not that the show would need it, it's been getting great ratings as of late, and ABC recently picked the series up for a
full season.
