Mark Consuelos Spotted at Mode

What's Mark Consuelos up to when he's not blinding us with that beautiful smile? Acting on "Ugly Betty" -- that's what! TV Guide reported yesterday that the easy-on-the-eyes husband of daytime TV talk show queen Kelly Ripa will appear in the third episode this coming season. (Totes worth noting: the couple met while on ABC's "All My Children.")

Mark has only signed on to do the one ep -- which seems like a total shame, BTW. But these kinds of things tend to change (hint hint, Silvio Horta and the rest of the "Betty" writing staff). Cases in point: Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan, who return again next season.

Though everyone is being super secretive about what his role will entail, we DO know Mark's shooting scenes on the Mode set -- and that his arrival at the mag will factor into a major storyline. Hmm ... our imaginations are running wild!

Speaking of imaginations: While we are curious about his storyline, we're really most concerned with whether or not his shirt factors into every scene.

What other guest stars would you like to see grace the hallowed halls of Mode?
