Exclusive Season 3 scoops from the "Ugly Betty" premiere party

Vanessa Williams, Mark Indelicato, and America Ferrera 

Last night I braved the midtown crowds and crashed the Ugly Betty premiere party to nab a good percentage of the cast and find out what's in store for the new season. I'll have a more detailed report coming in my Best.Gay.Week.Ever column this Friday (yes, LiLoh was there...), but here are a few choice bits of scoop:

Justin (Mark Indelicato) will be dealing with a school bully ... who may wind up becoming a friend. Still no romance in store for the youngest Suarez. Yet.

Marc (Michael Urie) and Amanda (Becki Newton) will be up to their usual scheming and are still thick as thieves this season. However...

Marc and Willie (Vanessa Williams) may have some friction when she asks Betty to do some work for her, which doesn't sit well with her Alpha Gay assistant. And that's not all...

There may be a new love interest for Marc, even though David Blue is back as Cliff. Interesting...

And finally, you are going to fall in love with Grant Bowler, who joins the cast as Mode's new CFO. Check back for my full interview with the agonizingly handsome Aussie newcomer on Friday to find out why, as though you need more reason than this:
