“Blond ambitions!! Gracias to the amazing Kelly Klain I’m ready for summer!” Vergara posted on Twitter along with a photo of her new hair, which is actually closer to her natural color.

Vergara previously told reporters she keeps her blonde hair dyed brunette because of stereotypes.  “It didn’t match the Hollywood stereotype for a Latina woman.”

What do you think of her new look?

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson is engaged to his boyfriend of two years, lawyer Justin Mikita.

“It’s true, I popped the big Q,” Ferguson told viewers in a video he shot for Tie the Knot, which supports the fight for marriage equality. ”I said yes!” Mikita says.

Congratulations to the happy, good looking, charitable couple!

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has confirmed that she is engaged to her longtime beau Nick Loeb.

The 40-year-old actress told reporters that she hasn’t started planning her wedding just yet. “I haven’t started planning anything because everything has been very recent,” she said. “I am kind of, you know, working a lot — I just started the Modern Family season — so I don’t know yet [when I will get married]. No plans.”

Vergara went on to say that she hasn’t ruled out having a baby with her new groom. “It’s something that maybe … one day I’ll do again. I wouldn’t mind . . .I mean, I think I can still do it. But you know, when you want to do something like that, you want to do it right, at the right moment, so I am taking it easy, so maybe when I have a little less work.”

This will be the second marriage for Vergara, who has a 20-year-old son, Manolo, with her first husband, Joe Gonzales.

Modern Family cast mates Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara have settled their contract negotiations and will soon be back to filming their new season.

The six actors have dropped the lawsuit they filed on July 24 that claimed their “current contracts were a violation of a California law that prohibits personal service contracts from exceeding seven years.”

A source close to the contract negotiations said the group also earned a pay raise. Instead of the $65,000 they were making per episode, they’ll be making closer to $170,000-$175,000 (including bonuses) per episode for the upcoming 22-episode season.

“It’s no surprise, but I’m of course thrilled and I cannot wait to get on stage Monday morning and start making the show again,” co-creator Steve Levitan told The Hollywood Reporter.

ABC’s Modern Family cast members Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell have filed a lawsuit over contract renegotiations for their fourth season of the award-winning show.

The group is suing 20th Century Fox Television, claiming that their contracts are illegal under California state law. The lawsuit states their “contracts prohibit them from working on other projects and bind them to the ABC show from February 2009 to June 30, 2016.”

Under California state law, personal service contracts are prohibited from exceeding seven years. ”Modern Family has been a breakout critical and financial success,” the lawsuit states. “That success, however, has been built upon a collection of illegal contracts.”

Then there’s the issue of pay raises. The actors claim their contracts put a limit on the raise they can receive per season. Vergara’s contract reportedly states that her raise can’t exceed five percent per season, and the others stop at four percent per year.

So will the judge void their contracts?

The Parents Television Council were outraged with the dropping of several f-bombs by 2 year-old Lily, who is actually played by a 4 year-old actress named Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, in the last episode of ABC’s “Modern Family” (watch video below).

“It is certainly in poor taste,” Melissa Henson of the Parents Television Council told Fox News before the episode aired. “Since television is constantly adding to the likelihood that children will be exposed to this kind of language, we will naturally see more and more children eventually emulate that behavior.”

Mitchell and Cameron’s daughter’s several f-bombs, including consecutive f-bombs at a church during a wedding, were totally bleeped-out as they were used as an opportunity to show how parents deal when their children start cursing.

Modern Family’s creator/executive producer Steven Levitan said, “We thought it was a very natural story since, as parents, we’ve all been through this. We are not a sexually charged show. It has a very warm tone, so people accept it more. I’m sure we’ll have some detractors.”

In reality, the young actress was only asked to say the word “fudge” during the taping, so it’s not like they were teaching her how to curse. Actually, Aubrey might have been given the chance to expand her vocabulary. Let’s face it, how many 4 year-olds can say and know the meaning of the word “fudge”?

Tell us what did you think? Bad taste or sort of educational? When I say educational, I actually mean they show you exactly how not to react in a situation like that. Do not ever laugh when you’re child says something she shouldn’t because that will encourage that behavior.
