Rebecca Romijn Gets 'Ugly'
by Laura Saltman
As if Salma Hayek weren't steaming things up enough on "Ugly Betty" as sexy Sofia Reyes, a new temptress is about to shake things up at Mode magazine. The Dish has learned that model turned actress Rebecca Romijn is joining the cast.
I doubt Salma will be sticking around for that much longer. The Oscar nominee has several film projects in the pipeline. So don't be surprised when her budding romance with editor-in-chief, Daniel goes sour and Betty's job offer to work at her magazine goes up in smoke. Salma's set to begin filming the drama "Keep Coming Back", directed and co-starring William H. Macy, in January. Considering she is the show's executive producer though, I'm sure she will be popping in on the Mode offices every once and awhile.
In a surprise twist, Romijn will play the mysterious woman behind the mask who’s been plotting to take over Mode Magazine and stalking company owner, Bradford Meade. Either the folks at the Wilmont Surgical Center, where the masked woman has been camping out, are geniuses with the scalpel or show producers are going in a different direction. So far, we've been led to believe that the masked woman was an older gal ..supposedly the thought to be dead but it looks like very much alive former editor-in-chief, Fay. The voice sounds older, the hands are that of a woman seems in at least her 50's or 60's. Rebecca's only 34.
Here's my thought on how it's all going to play out.. Rebecca's character is going to turn out to be the illegitimate love child of Bradford Meade and Fay, making her Daniel's half-sister. She's plotting the takeover of Mode to get revenge on the father who abandoned her and gain control of the company she feels is rightly hers. Just a theory.
By the way, the show has begun receiving its first official accolades of the award show season. Besides its People's Choice Award nomination for the show, they have also received nominations for several Satellite Awards to be held December 17th.
