Ugly Betty’ star Vanessa Williams has a set of hot new wheels. “For my 40th birthday, I got a oaserati coupe, a sports car with paddle shifting and a great-sounding engine,” she reveals, “It’s really fast-plus I get big props from the guys on the set of `Ugly Betty’ because I can handle it. They love to hear me zoom up and screech to a halt. Being able to get the toys I want is one of the true luxuries of getting older. I wish I’d always known about options like climate control – to think, I used to just roll down a window!” [13 April 2007]
