Kevin Bacon to Make Out with Julie Bowen on Modern Family? Yes, Please!

Kevin Bacon is coming to Modern Family, at least according to E! :
“Kevin Bacon just agreed to come on our show!” Modern Family star Jesse Ferguson (Mitchell) told E! at last night’s Golden Globes. “I just met him and I said, ‘Come on our show,” and he said, ‘I’m comin!’ So I’m personally casting him as a guest star. We’re going to have Judy Greer, Minnie Driver and then Kevin Bacon.”
Of course, Modern boss Steven Levitan and the ABC mucky-mucks will have to sign off on the whole thing, but really, minor detail, right? And Julie Bowen has already plotted out the whole hot and heavy storyline…
“Are you kidding me?!” Julie (Claire) gasped when E! mentioned her costar’s possible Kevin Bacon casting coup. “There will have to be flashbacks to Claire’s past. He can be her ex-boyfriend and we can make out. I want the flashback to where we really get hot and heavy and dance to Footloose. I remember the dance in the warehouse. I remember every minute of that movie.”

2009 TV Yearbook

The end of the year is coming closer and everyone has their top 2009 list, this time coming from Poptimal another vote to Modern Family actors:
DRAMA KING & QUEEN: Rachel Berry & Cameron Tucker
Glee is arguably the debut show of the year, and its success is in large part due to its lead and her voice. As an unknown to relatively anyone outside of the Broadway world, Lea Michele was given the opportunity to fully mold and embody Rachel, the girl with the undeniable talent who is almost impossible to ignore. And never did TV make dysfunctional families look so good than on Modern Family. Eric Stonestreet steals scenes as Cam with his hilarious flair for the dramatic and his lovable individuality. Whether focusing on his devotion to his partner Mitchell, his love for newly adopted Lily or his enthusiasm as Fizbo the Clown, Cam is always the center of attention.
Top TV Characters in 2009
Pioneer Local listed their top TV characters for 2009 and guess who made the list:
6. Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) — “Modern Family” ABC
There’s no shortage of funny characters on “Modern Family,” but Mitchell just makes everything better the way he channels his family’s insanity as the “sane” one in the group. He’s what Michael Bluth was to “Arrested Development” but like Jason Bateman’s character, Mitchell might be normal, but he’s not without his quirks. One of the funniest episodes of “Modern Family” was Mitchell trying to recapture his glory figure skating days as one half of “Fire and Nice,” and secretly trying to see if he could pick up his sister. His sarcasm, self-doubt and cynicism is a nice dollop of reality on what otherwise would be too much crazy on one show.

Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson: My Fave Five of 2009

Best Actors 2009

Modern Family actors were some of the 18 actors who truly stand out in 2009 according to the SF Gate:
Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet, “Modern Family,” ABC. Don’t look now, Alec Baldwin, but your Emmy streak is in danger. On this season’s best new sitcom, there are at least five people who may get nominated for their work, but these three are absolute, must-have nominees. Burrell’s clueless dad/friend plus Ferguson and Stonestreet as the gay couple are comic gold from episode to episode.
Should Eric Stonestreet Got A Golden Globes Nomination?
We agree with The Guardian which said:
We were thrilled to see Modern Family get recognized in the Best Comedy category:It’s the funniest new show of the season, but the ABC sitcom didn’t get any love in the acting categories. Ignoring Eric Stonestreet is particularly egregious; he has mastered the delivery of lines such as, “I’ve wanted to be a clown ever since I found out clowns are just people wearing makeup.”
What do you think?
‘Modern Family’ Star Jesse Tyler Ferguson Returns as Dr. Farkus on ‘Ugly Betty’

Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly reports that the ABC comedy is bringing Jesse Tyler Ferguson back for an episode that marks Betty’s Wednesday move. We last saw the actor back in season 1 as our heroine’s orthodontist. Three seasons later, he’s here again and for good reason. Are Betty’s braces getting ready to come off?
Ugly Betty creator and executive producer Silvio Horta won’t spell out the answer for the audiences. However, he did say that Dr. Farkus and Betty are going to have quite an interesting encounter.
The Modern Family actor was also quite pleased about the news, updating his own Twitter account to announce such an occasion. “In NYC,” Ferguson wrote. “Here to check up on a certain patient I haven’t seen in a few years.”
