'Ugly Betty' exclusive: Jamie-Lynn Sigler replaces Betty!

Categories: News, Ugly Betty

Jaime-Lynn-Sigler_l Yes, the headline’s misleading — but only slightly!

Sopranos vet Jamie-Lynn Sigler is joining the cast of Ugly Betty in the recurring role of Natalie, Daniel’s sexy, spiritual, funny new assistant, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Natalie replaces Betty, who was promoted to features editor in last May’s season finale.

See? Only slightly misleading.

Sigler will debut in Betty’s second episode (the first after the two-hour premiere on Oct. 9).

    PHEW!!!!
    You had me REALLY worried with that title!!!

  • adam-bham

    she’s really pretty!

  • Nathan

    I’m glad Jamie-Lynn got more work with this and Entourage. We haven’t seen enough of her since The Sopranos.

  • BillyBob

    She may be pretty, but as her work on the Sopranos showed, she can’t act. Great to have you aboard the Ugly express!

  • whatevs

    Wow, she looks so much older than she did on The Sopranos. We’ll see her acting ability finally since Meadow didn’t seem to have much of a personality…

  • Spider
  • Chichi

    Nice nose job, Sigler.

  • Adam

    She is definitely not UGLY…wow. Really really beautiful.

    Man, was I worried about that title.
    Only for a second though, lol.

  • april-ann

    Oh, that sounds fun! I can’t wait for the return of “Ugly Betty”. Thanks for this, Ausiello!

  • Bob

    I’d hit it 2x.

    Score another Soprano feather in the ABC hat. Drea, the perfect fit for Desperate Housewives and now Jamie Lynn cast perfectly in the role of Daniel’s new assistant. That is going to be a riot! He will never get any work accomplished. I can see her struggling to be Betty’s equivalent on the job and failing. But, clueless and major hot in this instance will have its benefits regardless. And a 2 hour premiere- spot on!

  • Sina

    Hopefully this will improve the writing and this show.

    Does this mean she’ll be leaving “Entourage”? She and Turtle are so cute together, I’d hate to see her leave!

  • Tom98006

    I was hoping she’d be the mother on how I Met Your mother – she was on it (Whooo Girl), said Ted was cute and the kids kind of look like her

  • EntertainmentBlogger

    I dig her. But nothing can make me watch UGLY BETTY.

    Um… joining a sinking ship? That’d be like [whoever] joining ‘My Name Is Earl’. The show’s STALE and DEAD.

    Lame. Ugly Betty tried so hard to cut its dead wood (and its budget), killing or exiling many secondary characters, now they ADD one? Dumb. Why not fish inside its great talent pool, and make Justin Daniel’s new assistant? Or Amanda? Or the best actor on the show, Hilda? And make Hilda surprisingly more competent than Betty? Plus she’s already sexy and fun!

  • failboat

    She’s really joining a sinking ship. Poor girl, can’t find decent work after the sopranos.
    If they cancel Betty she could always join another sinking ship like Supernatural, she could be a sexy hot buffylike angel.

    EntertainmentBlogger, if you want people to visit your website, you should not talk trash about a show in a article about this show. Get it? The only people who will read this are fans of the show, stupid.

  • Allie

    So what is going to happen to her Entourage role?

  • Doug

    Entourage is over and done

  • katiey
  • Ben

    How does Sigler keep getting work? Probably another sign (along with getting moved to a bad timeslot) that the show will only be around one more season.

  • DAN

    This show is extremly funny. People please stop bashin this show. This is the best show out there! Great job Jamie lynn Sigler

  • jasmine

    Yeah!!!! Of course this show is superb and hilarious show…I am the huge fan of this tv series…I like all the seasons and episodes of this show very much…
