“I wanted to be Bette Midler when I grew up. It’s not about being her. It’s about being myself the way Bette Midler unapologetically has been herself.”

i love her beauty, she is an amazing actress and role model!!
I want to be first….second????
this girl is stunning and beautiful inside and out
nice to see a young actress who is not a drug addled, whore, shit head.
ewwwww!
unapologetic. Ummm. I would rather be Angelina Jolie, but I guess America is realistic about things. Ugly Betty to Bette Midler is do able. Mann Bette Midler WTF? why not Diahann Carol she's pretty hott for her age unlike Bette.
She is so pure and beautiful.
If she wants to be herself then why are these pic's so air brushed??? She is hardly recognizable.
THANK YOU AMERICA ! For not being a whorish skeezy ho like those other dumb celebrities out there.!
NOT THE MOST FLATTERING PIC OF HER
she's rockin' !!.
I love that she doesnt care to cater her image and size to Hollywood. Ultimate beauty is defined by exuding confidence. Shes glorious in all ways.
Stupid brownie wanting to be white….just like jlo.
Boy, they really photoshopped her! Didn't even recognize her!
Sorry, but i have to agree, she realy do not look like herself in this pic. Pretty pic, but it's not her…??
That's fantastic.
The hair colour doesn't really suit her but she looks nice anyway.
of course she did. Wetbacks always want to be white women. By the way, shouldn't she be called South America?

Re: USA – Trailer trash bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Lynda – They are not wanting to be anything else. You only wish you looked half as good as them!!!!
Brava! She is very wise for her years. She is talking about courage to forge her own path, like Bette did. I wish I had it in me, too.
All of that makeup and the best photographers and she still looks like an ugly fat wetback maid with a mop in her hand.
She looks great…And I love the show Ugly Betty……Keep doing your thing

SHE LOOKS LIKE SOME MEXICAN WHORE I FUCKED IN TIJIUARNA !
Love her!
That just made me LOVE her. That is the kind of role model young girls need. Someone who loves themselves as they are and doesn't desperately try to fit into some sort of Hollywood mold.
FAT UGLY GREASY STUPID SO-CALLED PROUD LATINA COVERED IN PASTY WHITE MAKEUP DESPERATE TO BE AS WHITE AS BETTE MIDLER. NOT SO PROUD TO EMULATE A LATINA YOU FAT HAIRY BEAR HYPOCRITE SUCK ASS BALLS. STUPID BITCH MAID.

"The tortured magic of Mapplethorpe" + "Ryan McGinley's Summer Soundtrack" = I need to get my hands on this.
Re: missk – Re: missk –
America wasn't idolizing looks unlike most shallow people. She was going by talent and personality and by that Bette is a very talented woman who pretty much has a legacy of her own and her personality is undeniably strong. Bette is by any needs not a bad looking person either. Grow up. I think America is quite classy herself and shows that she has a brain inside her head unlike most of these young stars. America is quite admirable.
la la la la what the hell does that even mean. I wish I lived in a dream world where whatever crap I said "meant" something "deep"
They really should have photoshopped her eyes…they are wonky. But otherwise…what a beautiful young woman. No drama, no scandal…just a talented young actress out theere doing her thing.
i think she is so beautiful inside and out. i find it that she looks a million times better in person than she does on pictures and camera. she is "un orgullo latino" and i am so proud that she is doing such a great job at what she does, while keeping humble.
she looks so beautiful. I love her spirit. Yayyyy, America! Sadly, almost everyone here missed her point. She was talking about being like Bette as far as being her own person and forging her own path via her talent. It has nothing to do with her wanting to be white or look white. Ignorance obviously abounds on this site…
I couldn't agreewith America more. Bette Rocks
Uhm. It's ironic that everyone is going off about how refreshing and non-hollywood she is for an actress, and yet it looks like she lost 50 lbs and airbrushed the makeup directly onto her face for this shoot.
Seriously, didn't she used to be a perky, slightly pudgy woman? Cute as a bug, if I recall. Now she looks 20 years older.
perez damn it. youre a hispanic gay man for gods sake. im tired of coming onto youre site and reading the most discriminating, racist, and homophobic shit ever. if you truly are a "WE" as you refer to yourself or your alleged team in your posts, start monotoring shit.
She looks so hot in this pic!!
LOVE her. And she's beautiful, too.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING OGRE. SHREKS LONG LOST SISTER……
Love her. She's so purrrrty and looks like a REAL female, not a aneorexic H-wood type. And I love Bette Midler and her comment about being herself without apology like the Devine Miss M. Love her.
I love her. You should post WAY more of her and WAY less on shit like the Jonas Brothers.
behold the magic power of air brushing!
You go America, you are gorgeous!
Re: fiera – HA! That's really funny!! Who the hell would want to be a filthy, oily, stereotypical, stab-you-in-the-back, not-knowing-your baby's-daddy, depending-on-the-government wetback? Not I.
Umm, wow…that doesn't look like America at all. At first I thought it was the chick who plays her sister on the show. I don't know if I like her all vamped up like this. Still, very pretty though.
Re: Dawn –
and you think America asked to be airbrushed?
it still looks like her .. she looks beautiful, and she is a smart woman and a proud latina. She isnt trying to emulate bette midler for all you idiots that didnt understand that part .. she is trying to say that she want to be like her talent-wise. Also, please do refrain from being racist dumbasses .. trust me .. she not dying to be white .. nobody is THAT FUCKING STUPID !!! HAHAHAHA …. wanting to be white…hahahahahahah what a fucking joke .. who the fuck would want to be white ??!!!! hahahahahahaha
i effing love her
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
I really like America! And Bette Midler is awesome! I got tix to her concert from work a couple of years ago and I wasn't a fan then but I was by the end of the show! She is so awesome and a great role model for entertainers!
Mario are you crazy? Have you read Bette's ideas on gay marriage? She thinks gays shouldn't get married because gay men sleep around! She stereotypes gay men (like a lof of married straight men don't sleep around?). Betty's been to too many bathhouses. She's got the vapors!
I love her!! She seems so down to earth. She's a good role model. Love love ugly Betty can't wait for it to return!
she looks grate for me!
what's up with her teeth? it looks like there's lipstick all over them.
Re: Fail! – seriously you have issues..does it make you feel better to use deragatory terms? There is always a hater in the crowd and those are the ones who never find happiness only lonliness.
Congratulations on being a loser! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy
FUCK THAT who wants to be white anyway. Isn't it the White, pasty ASSES that pay so MUch $$$$$ to get a nice TAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah POSERS don't try and act like something your not!
WHITE IS OUT TAN IS IN YOU ALL SUCK!!!!!!!!!
