Posted by Adam
LIZA Minnelli is set to join the cast of the hit US TV show Ugly Betty.
The Hollywood icon begins work next week and will be appearing in multiple episodes later this season, according to Fox411.
Liza has an intense filming schedule that begins in Brooklyn, New York, on January 28th and runs until February 12th.
“There were massive rumors last year, then again in early January that Liza was being courted for the show, but Liza originally hadn’t planned to do the show,” a source said.
“Ugly Betty producers presented her with a great offer and a hilarious story and they kept coming back to her.
“She’s going to be playing an outrageous drama teacher and it is going to be fun! Liza is excited to be playing another off-the-wall character like Lucille 2 on Arrested Development.”
The insider added that the Ugly‘s Executive Producer, Salma Hayek, “has her eye on the what’s happening at all times, and she’s an involved woman in the production process.
“I wouldn’t rule out a chance that she will be back on the show as well.
“The cast, crew and writers of the show are working hard to regain their following after the Friday night graveyard time slot.”
