UPDATE: We were certainly on the right track on Wednesday when we revealed that a new hottie would be joining Ugly Betty.

Turns out that flame is none other than Mark Consuelos, hunky husband of Live’s Kelly Ripa. Muy caliente!

He’s slated to appear on one episode of the show.

Like we revealed on Wednesday, he’ll be hanging out a lot at the Mode offices. Amanda better break out her sexiest couture!
 

This is why I love being in the field.



Yesterday, while hanging out at my new favorite Queens spot -- the Ugly Betty set -- I learned that the 
show is looking to cast a new male lead.



"The buzz is he'll be the new hottie at Mode," a show insider revealed
 to me.



We definitely need some new office eye candy now that Christopher 
Gorham, who played Betty's boyfriend Henry, has ended his Betty
 run and will take up residence in Harper's Island, a new project for
 CBS.



"We'll miss him. He's a good friend and such a huge talent,"  Betty 
star Ana Ortiz told me.



"Of course, he's already got a show. And think it's probably better for
 him, with his wife pregnant again." (Christopher and his wife, actress 
Anel Lopez Gorham, are expecting their third child in January 2009.)



And here's an A-list spotting I had during my exclusive visit: Beyonce,
 standing 10 feet away from me just outside the studio's lobby.



She was wearing just a blue robe, her hair was light (again!) and she 
looked fierce.



Turns out she was at the production studio to shoot a new 
Loreal commercial.



 

You better work that lip gloss, girl!
