Beckie Newton is hilarious and unbelievably hot at the same time. Those eyes!

Tanner ruined the Veronica Mars TV Watch too. She/He is awful, a truly painful read.

slezak!!!im not reading any more ew popwatch until u come back to do your ugly betty watches...you're the so called number one fan, were's the love, you belong here!!!!please,please,please!!!!!!!!!!

alright, my posting didnt work before when i got all nasty about how sucky the other popwatch article was. so here i go again. seriously, that article was like a formal 5th grade essay. i say we posters ban together to get slezak on betty, or at least someone competent. and cmon, it was pretty obvious becki played that chick, you knew it in the voice before the camera even zoned in on her. SLEZAK WOULDA KNOWN THAT. and ya, i couldnt even read the entire popwatch article, cuz it SUCKED. sorry man, but as much as i look forward to Betty, i look forward to Slezak's take on it. replacements just wont do.

Rhonda Sun, Jan 14, 2007 at 12:40 AM EST

YYYAAAAY!!! hi slezak! we miss you on the betty watch!

Of course, I caught it immediately. In all honesty, though, I didn't catch it by looking at her. I caught it from her voice, and then I confirmed it by looking at her. Becki Newton is absurdly, amazingly, ridiculously good. She (and so many other characters on this show) need way more awards love than they have been given to date.

She actually made three appearances Thursday night. She was also in an Olive Garden commercial shown during the show.

Christine Sat, Jan 13, 2007 at 01:56 PM EST

Had no idea that was her... though I have the episode Tivoed and haven't watched the whole thing. Wow, amazing.

Which just goes to show you, without the hair, make-up and lighting people,"stars" look just like the rest of us. Oops, let's not forget the stylists too.

I've got to stop reading my new issue of EW while watching television ! God is in the details and they're kind of missed when you're busy agreeing with every word of Lisa Schwarzbaum's critics ! I Love Ugly Betty. I find it's a show with heart, humour and a general feel good theme that's the perfect antidote to the procedurals and the overwrought dramas. In adition, everyone gets redeeming quality, which makes you sort of cheer for them. Wilhelmina as vulnerable - and that means wearing a smoking pair of jeans! Amanda's assault with the handbag; bossman's christmas tree trimming with the Soarez family... Next thing you know, Mark, between conniving and living vicariously through the glamour of his fabulous boss, will be shown taking care of his elderly parent or volunteering at a soup kitchen !

this show is for seven year olds

Maeve Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 07:15 PM EST

Yes, Olive Garden! That was her! We had a three-pronged attack of Becki Newton last night...we are so lucky. And excuse me, what's this about Slezak not doing the TV Watch anymore? Why the F not???

Nick Ross Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:55 PM EST

I say that we, fellow Slezak lovers, form a petition to get him back on U.B. duty. Give Tanner the Idol thingy. Without a doubt Mike Slezak is the MAN when it comes to Ugly Betty. I need someone to point out things like Becki Newton being awesome, Marc & Wilhemina's little silliness with the armadillo, hell, even Ignacio's brewin' love with the caseworker. Plezak Mr. Slezak, come back to Betty!

kellye Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:34 PM EST

LOVE HER!

lola Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:33 PM EST

Slezak, I can't believe you're abandoning the Betty TV Watches for American Idol. The new Watcher didn't even notice Becki Newton's double duty. Can't you do both?

Christina Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:30 PM EST

I was pretty sure that was her. Good to see that I wasn't seeing things

EP Sato Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:20 PM EST

I absolutely love to hate Amanda, she is by far my favorite character on the show, save for the sometimes cold hearted character played by Vanessa Williams. Actually, I love the whole cast of that show. Between the wonderfully sassy older sister to Willameena's gay assistant, I can't go more than 7 days without Betty's beautiful cast. Save for Walter, the schlubby cheater with a penchant for universal remote controls.

Gretchen Weiners Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:03 PM EST

I knew it! She's Amazing. My fave reaction last night was Mark screaming and falling to the floor when opening the armadillo.

Leah Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 06:01 PM EST

ah! I loved that and I love her! So awesome, my favorite on the show.

I actually thought Ugly Ruthie looked a lot like on of the many other Ugly Betty's from years past, which was the first thing that made me giggle...until I realized who it was!

Danny Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:55 PM EST

Give her the emmy now!

Mozz Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:46 PM EST

Emmy Award Winner Becki Newton. Hmmm, sounds so natural.. Of course she would have to share it with Vanessa Williams... OH WHY IS BETTY SO WELL CAST!!! it makes picking my favorite so difficult.

alexa Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:30 PM EST

I saw that Olive Garden commercial too! It is her. I can't believe that was her playing the other girl. How clever of them!

Joe Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:21 PM EST

WOW!!! I didn't know till know that was the same actress. Funny, I thought she was kind of cute in a gawky Amy Acker sort of way. Call me crazy but this makes me want Becki Newton even more.

Marnie Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:15 PM EST

I KNEW IT! OMG. The entire night i was hoping they would notice they looked alike. ugh!

Vicky Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:14 PM EST

I keep seeing this Olive Garden commerical that's more than a year old, and I keep thinking "Wow, that girl who plays the hostess looks a lot like Becki Newton from Ugly Betty." I have no idea if it's her or not. Then again, I don't really know how her career was going over a year ago. Anyone know?

Simon Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:13 PM EST

Oh my gosh, was that her? I would not have guessed it! I thought whoever played Ruthie did an awesome job. Becki is hilarious. Someone give this woman an award!

stephanie Fri, Jan 12, 2007 at 05:08 PM EST

I was rolling on the floor when Becky decked Salma with a purse in the elevator. It looked like a little old lady fight with ladies in their mid to late thirties.
