Actress Jaime Pressly has blasted hit TV sitcom Ugly Betty because she fears the show sends out the wrong message about plastic surgery.
The new mom, whose show My Name Is Earl goes up against Ugly Betty on Thursday nights, insists Salma Hayek's sitcom is full of confusing double standards about fashion and appearance.
Pressly explains, "They're purposefully big-upping the ugly fat girl to make everybody feel great, but it also glamorizes the fact that people are getting plastic surgery because they can. It's really bizarre."
And, even though Ugly Betty is far more popular than Pressly's rival show, the pretty blonde actress admits she turned off months ago: "It bores the hell out of me."
