It doesn't seem like it would be a secret, but until today, Michael Urie of Ugly Betty fame has never officially announced his sexual orientation. Of course, people have made their assumptions based on his acting roles and of the such, but now we have a definitive answer from Michael himself.

In an interview for The Advocate, Michael explains that he would rather not put a label on himself as "gay," but he is currently dating a man. (A very sexy actor man named Ryan Spahn!) Michael reveals:

“I’ve never been in. I’ve never said I was straight, and I’m not saying I’m gay now. I never lie, and I’ve never shied away from the topic. I’ve certainly chosen through my work to do things that promote the rights of LGBTQ people. I am not a hypocrite—certainly not now…I’ve been in a relationship for a while now, and if you just met the two of us together we’d be ‘gay.' But that somehow means anything that happened before [we met] didn’t count—and I don’t feel that way. I know that some people feel that way. They were with women, but it always felt wrong. But it didn’t for me. It felt right at the time. It didn’t work out, but it also didn’t work out with other men—many times. That’s why ‘gay’ never seemed right.”

So, when asked which letter in LGBTQ he identifies with most, Michael selected "Q" - queer.

And there you have it. Not so much a mystery solved.

As do we!

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera supported the theatrical efforts of costar Michael Urie by showing up to a performance of his show, The Temperamentals, in NYC this weekend.

Adorbs!

We hear some good things about Michael's show and we are loving America's simple, sexy summer look. Girl knows how to work it out when she isn't forced to wear those fugly specs and Mexican ponchos.

Kudos to both.

CLICK HERE to watch the cast of Ugly Betty do the classic tune New York, New York!

Can it be happening? Is is true????

Is Ugly Betty really going to be turned into a musical?

Well, according to series star Michael Urie, it is!

In a recent radio interview with the UK's Heart, Urie said, "They do want to do an "Ugly Betty" musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it’s all hush-hush."

And as for the stars to play them on stage, Urie adds, "I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. I think we would all do it, although we maybe don’t dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in."

Interesting. We're almost tempted to go see it.

As for possibly doing an episode of Ugly Betty as a musical, Urie says, "They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it’s a great idea. It would definitely work.”

Fun! We love musicals!

Urie also commented on Victoria Beckham's appearance on the show, as well as David Beckham's on-set visit.

He says, "I think everyone who worked on the show popped in at some point or another to just look at them because they are so gorgeous. They brought their gorgeous Beckham spawn also. They are so adorable, the little boys. It was fun. She’s just great. She’s teeny tiny, she’s so hot, and she’s sweet, sweet, sweet! They gave me some Beckham cologne. It was a nice parting gift. She’s the only guest star who’s ever been on the show and given gifts!”

Yea, VB should have been giving out her jean collection, cuz you know no one is willing to pay for it!

Why couldn't this be us?????
