Their last partnership may have ended in divorce, but Rick Fox and Vanessa Williams are making another go at it – at least onscreen. Fox, 38, will join the cast of ABC's Ugly Betty in its second season, a source confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"Things get heated [between their characters]," the source says of Fox's guest-starring role.

Williams, 44, who got an Emmy nod for her turn as villainous magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater, can look forward to bossing around her ex-husband. "He'll be playing Dwayne her bodyguard," the source says. "He'll be there for at least two episodes." [SOURCE]

Many predicted Vanessa Williams would fade into obscurity when she gave up her Miss America crown because of a scandal over nude photographs, but her star shone brightly Monday.

Williams received the 2,331st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fellow cast members from the TV show "Ugly Betty," in which she plays a villainous magazine editor, showed up to cheer for her at the ceremony in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

"We were so happy to get Vanessa," said Salma Hayek, the show's executive producer. "She is brilliant because she is so nasty on the show, but in reality she is the sweetest person."
