Ugly Betty Flushes Her Money Away

When you’re swimming in money, what better way to spend it then to finance your boyfriend’s dreams?

That’s what Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is doing by starring in and executive producing an Iraq War-related drama shooting in New Mexico starting in February.

The project, tentatively titled American Tragic, follows a young soldier (Ryan O'Nan) who has trouble readjusting when he returns to his small hometown. He leaves his wife, mother and sister (Ferrera, Melissa Leo and June Diane Raphael) to “travel the country in search of redemption.”

Sounds like a snooze fest.

A snooze fest Ferrera’s longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams wrote and will direct. If you can’t get a real job, have your sugar mommy girlfriend create one for you.

We’re calling it now, this movie’s going to be a disaster. Not that anyone will ever see it. Look what happened to other “Iraq war-related” movies: Stop Loss, Rendition, The Lucky Ones, In the Valley of Elah, Body of Lies, etc, etc, etc.

Bad investment, America. Talk about tragic.
