Jamie Pressly Feels Hit Sitcom 'Ugly Betty' Gives The Wrong Message
The new mom, whose show My Name Is Earl goes up against Ugly Betty on Thursday nights, insists Salma Hayek's sitcom is full of confusing double standards about fashion and appearance.
Pressly explains, "They're purposefully big-upping the ugly fat girl to make everybody feel great, but it also glamorizes the fact that people are getting plastic surgery because they can. It's really bizarre."
And, even though Ugly Betty is far more popular than Pressly's rival show, the pretty blonde actress admits she turned off months ago: "It bores the hell out of me."
There's plenty of shows out there that glamorize plastic surgery and fashion appearance a lot more than Ugly Betty. Don't tell me she's never seen a show like Dr. 90210! Isn't this all coming from someone who plays a hillbilly trailer park girl on TV? Thought so. ;)

Ugly Betty is the shiznit, and Jamie Pressley sends a mixed message herself.
It's like, she wants to be respected, but she's always playing trashy characters.

i think she does have a good point about the show's conflicting message regarding beauty. but when said show is competing with your own, it's hard to remain unbiased...

Sounds like sour grapes to me. She's just jealous Betty took home all the Emmies and Golden Globes this year.
