Celebrity Gossip Round-Up

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is denying recent reports that she is engaged to her long-time beau, filmmaker Ryan Piers Williams. After the actress set off a media frenzy by wearing what looked to be an engagement ring on the set of the ABC hit, her rep refuted the claims. Instead, a source told the magazine, the ring could be part of a plot twist on the show. Sex and the City writer and director Michael Patrick King appears to be refuting Cynthia Nixon's recent "spoiler" that a character will die in the upcoming movie. "You don't know how many people came up to me when I was making the movie and said, 'So is somebody going to die?'" King told the New York Times. "Yup. Happy summer. Thanks for your $10. Enjoy your Diet Coke. Someone's going to die. Like that's what I'm going to do."
