Their’s a pretty nice article over at Access Hollywood about some stars previous jobs. Here’s America’s:And if you thought working for Daniel Meade involved a lot of hot air on “Ugly Betty,” that’s nothing compared to America Ferrera’s old summer gig.”The worst job I ever had was blowing up balloons,” American said. “Not myself, but with the helium thing and they would pop in your face. Back then, me and my best friend always tried to wear really long acrylic nails and we would pop the balloons ourselves.”To view the rest of the stars (mentioned are Piers Morgan, Debra Messing, Kevin Costner, Diddy, Patrick Dempsey and Kevin Dillon) click here.

I found this article from Indian Television:Things get exciting on Star World as it brings a Golden Globe Award winning American sitcom to your television sets. Based on the groundbreaking Colombian telenovela ‘Yo Soy Betty La Fea’, comes the ultimate fish out of water story in UGLY BETTY, starting Wednesday, 4 July at 9 p.m.. Betty Suarez (America Ferrera), may be sweet, intelligent and hard-working, but in the world of high fashion Betty is the oversized peg in the petite round hole. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade (Alan Dale) hands the reigns of Mode, the bible of the fashion industry, over to this son, Daniel (Eric Mabius), he specifically hires Betty as his son’s new assistant – mostly because she’s the only woman in NYC Daniel won’t sleep with. Neither of them really knows the ins and outs of the fashion world, but the two are a formidable team against those who will do anything to see them fall.Source: Indian Television.comI’m also working on the gallery. No images yet, but I just put up the theme. I also am working on getting another program to cap images since the one that I have just isn’t what I exactly need.

Well, I was working on the gallery layout and it was coming out great (atleast, I think it was ;p) and my stupid program closed down on me. I should have saved it, oh well. I’ll work on it again =)Expect some more things tomorrow =)

America is noted as a positive role model while others are not. Mentioned are Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and more. (To read the full article, go here)”I think that all these celebrities do have admirable qualities. I love the way Britney dances, Lindsay acts, and Hilton’s fashion sense; I look up to them for those things,” says Caroline Radi, 18, of Mastic. “I wouldn’t say they are necessarily good, but they are effective. Teens love them, and for that, they look past the bad and only see the good that they love.”There are, of course, positive celebrity role models for young people: Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson (hmm, there’s a pattern here), Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff, Amanda Bynes, Ugly Betty’s America Ferrara, Ivanka Trump and skating stars Sarah Hughes and Michelle Kwan. But a cynic would say, give ‘em time.Being interested in these celebrities and others-like Nicole Richie, known more for her skeletal frame than for her talent, and party girl Tara Reid-is one thing, but the elements of how they’ve become so successful could be damaging to the self-esteem of teenage girls. “I do not in any way find that they make good role models. They make horrific role models,” says Laura Callei, an 18-year-old from Levittown. “They promote the idea that having multiple eating disorders is acceptable, while actresses like [America] Ferrera promote good body image [but don't] get nearly as much attention. It’s truly a shame.”Before I forget, I’ll be away from a computer until Sunday evening. On Sunday, I’ll update any news I got of America and hopefully get the rest of the pages up, so that I can start on the gallery =)Until Sunday.
