Steve Martin wrote a Novella "Shopgirl" and Selma Hayek has the show "Ugly Betty " based on her Novella.

The diff is one of length.
A novella is a narrative work of prose fiction somewhat longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. A common length is about 50 to 100 pages, or around 20,000 to 40,000 words. The extra length is generally used for more character development than is possible in a short story, but without the much greater character and plot development of a novel.
--Addendum: Okay, now I see your comment about Salma Hayek and the "novella" Ugly Betty. "Novellas" are the Latin American version of soap operas on Univision and other TV. The stories usually run for about 6 weeks.
So "novella" means two things as you hear it these days. There is a literary meaning of the term "novella", which is basically a short form novel (this is what Steve Martin wrote), and the context you seem to have heard it in, which is the Latin American name for a serialized TV show (which Salma Hayek has been connected with creatively).

A novella is longer than a short story, but shorter than a novel.
(about 50 to 100 pages long). A novel is an extended narrative (like a book). Hope that helps.

A Novella is a short Novel (fiction, not true)
