Daniel Meade may not be able to survive well without his trusty sidekick Betty on the ABC hit comedy "Ugly Betty," but in real life the actor who plays him is doing just fine. Eric Mabius, who plays Daniel, recently announced that he and his wife are expecting their second child.

Mabius told the Associated Press that he and his wife Ivy Sherman are expecting a baby, but do not know yet if it is a boy or a girl.

Victoria Beckham is set to star in an episode of "Ugly Betty." The former Spice Girl, who is married to soccer superstar David, is being lined up to play herself in an episode of the hit U.S. show.

Actor Eric Mabius, who plays fashion magazine Mode's editor-in-chief Daniel Meade in the series, let slip that bosses have made initial steps to secure Victoria - who is moving to America in July when David begins his contract with MLS soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy - for a cameo role.
