A chat w/Christopher Gorham of Ugly Betty...

I told the adorable Christopher Gorham at the GLAAD Media Awards that the gay blogs - including this one - went nuts over the photos of him in his underwear during a fantasy sequence on "Ugly Betty."

So, does he know that he such a sex symbol to gay men? He laughed and said he did not know that but remarked, "It's great!"

But the whole sexy thing, that he's heard: "I have to say, when I found out that I was one of the sexiest men alive last year in People, that was awfully surprising. It's made for lots of jokes around the house. My wife is totally sick of it but I still think it's funny."

It's been so great to have "Ugly Betty" back on the air with original episodes. But fans of the show who are rooting for our heroine Betty (America Ferrera) to end up happily ever after with her endearingly nerdy boyfriend Henry ( Gorham) better wake up and smell the coffee. Henry's ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child and he's being a stand-up guy about it. But he really, truly loves Betty.
"It's a mess," Christopher said. "Oh my God Greg, it's a hot mess. It is my baby, we know that. That is tough."

He wouldn't tell me what was next for the ill-fated lovers but hints: "There's a big cliffhanger that involves me in the season finale."

Christopher, 33, is mighty happy to be in a hit show after starring in such quality, but unfortunately short-lived, shows as "Popular," "Out of Practice," "Jake 2.0" and Oddessy 5." But "Betty" is a big Thursday night hit and will begin filming its third season at the end of June.

"I really like what we're doing coming back with this last bit of season two and then going
into season three thematically because they're really bringing the show back to Betty," he said.

"I felt like it got a little crazy in the beginning of the second season, there were a
lot of storylines. So we're really boiling that down in these last five episodes, everything
is coming back to Betty which is where everything should be centered. I think the show is
going to be better and also, it's coming back to being the more of the family show that it was in season one."
