Oh boy. Ugly Betty begins a story arc this week on a topic that tends to make me squeamish when it pops up in my entertainment: the choice between family and career. In The Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway's character is told straight-up that once your personal life suffers, you know you're making it in the business world, and that now seems to apply to Betty as well.

Stefano Pilati's work at Yves Saint Laurent is impeccable — it's no wonder both Becki Newton and Kylie Minogue wore his same cobalt creation. Becki first dazzled both you and me at the US Weekly 2008 Hot Hollywood event in YSL's blue belted dress. She kept it youthful with a gold cuff bracelet, black YSL platforms, and a black patent clutch.

This week's Ugly Betty is all about Betty learning to mix in a little "play hard" with all that "work hard" she's always doing — and who better to help her than her pain-in-the-butt roomie, Amanda (aka the "juice mooch")? While Amanda may not be the most responsible flat-mate in the world, she does balance out Betty's uptight attitude toward life in the city, and the effect is a nice (and very funny) yin and yang relationship.
While the young up-and-comers at Mode are out drumming up fodder for their articles, the grown-ups (aka Daniel and Wilhelmina) are still pining away for Molly and Connor.

There were so many great and touching moments on this week's Ugly Betty, I can't wait to talk about them all. But there are also some good laughs. I mean, I know that Hilda isn't a huge part of the episode, but her anecdote about using every advantage — which includes her referring to her boobs as "the Pointer Sisters" — may have endeared me to this woman forever more.

How much fun it must be to wear the designer's pick to a charity event benefiting a great cause like UNICEF. While the hostess, Rihanna, brought the mostess, a few other lovelies donned Gucci garb. Becki and Blake both wore looks from Gucci's dark, folksy Fall collection, and while the two have similar studded and embroidered embellishments, the silhouettes are vastly different.

Rihanna was on hand to light UNICEF's Snowflake in NYC last night before hitting the red carpet in a more dramatic gown alongside Blake Lively and Madonna. The snowflake marks the beginning of holiday shopping season, which we've already gotten a great start on around here with all our fabulous gift guides. Rihanna was also there to officially launch her Tattoo Heart Collection for Gucci, which also benefits UNICEF.

It was a starry night in Miami Beach at Fontainebleau's reopening party on Friday. Kate Hudson stood out with her bright blue dress as Paris Hilton struck a pose in her shimmery ensemble. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a tiny LWD and hung out with Alex Rodriguez but it was Madonna's other BFF that ran interference when a girl tried to flirt with him at the party.

On this week's Ugly Betty, the senior management at Mode is whisked away into the country for a team-building retreat led by Daniel and Connor. This is a brilliant move, as it makes possible all kinds of good stuff, including a plethora of hunting and forest jokes and some amazing costumes that are supposed to denote a casual time in the woods (see Claire's get-up below).
And while the adults are away, the young assistants at Mode do play.

Daniel Craig has been busy premiering Quantum of Solace in Europe, and last night he finally came to the US with his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell for a screening in NYC. While the film's female stars skipped the event, Daniel recently said any of his former co-stars like Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow or Nicole Kidman would make great Bond girls for future installments. He wasn't lacking in female company last night, though — Becki Newton, Debra Messing and Molly Sims all took a stroll down the red carpet.

We've witnessed Betty Suarez the heartbreaker for some time now (turning down engagements, letting Gio slip away in favor of some alone time) but on this week's Ugly Betty we see Betty Suarez with a major crush on a boy. It's cute to see her swoon and make not-so subtle attempts to show the object of her affection how she feels.
Betty isn't the only one crushing.
