Ninel Conde, La Misfortunada

This is just not Ninel Conde’s year; heck, it ain’t her millenium.

 

First her new husband Juan, come to find out, was still married to his previous wife María Sol Corral, and now the Mexican newspaper Reforma is reporting that the Mex Feds are after her for tax fraud, dating from ‘03.

So far, due to some technicality, she’s evaded some carce time. Let’s hope so for Ninel’s sake that it stays that way. Goodness knows there’s probably plenty of folks at those Mexican prisons ready for some fresh flesh.

At least she will  have yet another thing in common with her husband: ex-con status.

Penelope Cruz Meets the Parents

You know a Spaniard is serious about his mujercita when he has her meet La Madre.

Oscar winner Javier Bardem did just that recently on the night of his Oscar win. I can see Penelope trading Javiercito stories over some crochetting.

Is the next carpet that Javier walks on…be the one that leads to an officiating priest? And will Lopita be right alongside him, with mama Pilar Bardem in tow?

Christina’s Rack

Did ChrissyAgui get bitten by a scorpion? Did her rack get stung by bees.

 

There’s got to be a good explanation for this. Here she is on her way to dinner the other night. It’s a sure bet, that her rack got there a good minute before she did.

Aracely Arambula, Baby Adviser

Want to know todo about your bebe? Why not turn to Aracely Arambula? The baby mamma and wife of LuisMi’s show—entitled fittingly enough  “¡Viva la Familia!” will be coming to your local Univision affiliate station, with Aracely churning out motherly/parenting advice. Can’t figure out how Telemundo didn’t bid on it.

Wonder what advice Aracely could possibly have to give. Am pretty sure all the poop clearing is done by a nanna, so she wouldn’t be able to comment on that. Second-hand knowledge is not so bad.

La Mas Bella Es…?

Okay, it’s down to ChrissyMil at the Billboard Oscar party…

And Rosario Dawson last week at Tao’s in Las Vegas.

So…Tres, dos, uno…who looked more stunning?

Alan Ledesma Nov 1977-Feb 2008

Alan Ledesma passed away at the age of 30, not 29, as is being reported elsewhere. He would have turned 31 this November, but, alas, got defeated in his battle with stomach cancer.  

 

The Mexican actor was known for his role in telenovelas like “Pablo y Andrea” and “Codigo Postal”. His illness got so terrible that he couldn’t continue working on his latest telenovela outing Las tontas no van al cielo. 

Hissiper’s condolences to his family and friends.

Rosario Dawson is Hood

Rosario Dawson? Si, ella es hood. I know, I know, I thought she was prim and proper too, but apparently not! Turns out that on the set of Alexander, she connected with her inner Oscar de la Hoya. Encouraged by Colin Farrell to make a fight scene look real, she–Why don’t we let the lady tell it:

“He [talkin' about that Colin Farrell] was all, ‘C’mon, you can hit me.’ I said, ‘All right, but I’m from New York, you know. Be careful what you ask for.’ So I smacked him, and pow!”

That’s method acting for you.

Telemundo’s Pecados Ajenos

Is it me or is Telemundo’s telenovela a semi-remake of Salome without the belly dancing and the switcheroo birthin’?

The telenovela seems to be going on and on, but Telemundo viewers aren’t complaining. Maybe it has something to do with the cast: Mauricio Islas, Catherine Siachoque, Lorena Rojas, Lupita Ferrer.

Telemundo seems to have the casting game on lock. Why Univision is always ahead in ratings is a mystery to me. Some Nielsen payola, perhaps?

Zulay Henao Talks Future Tense

Zulay Henao is one hot chica, and you will be feeling her making some noise in the future. Discussing her ideal starring role, she told Latina that it would be…

“Something related to the military, because I have such strong ties in that whole world, I would love to work on a good military story with some unspoken heroes. Someone everyone wouldn’t think is a hero, but she is. You don’t have to be a superhero. I think there is a hero [aspect] about a lot of stories.”

What was that stuff that that dude said, man can if only she wills. Well, Latinas will ’cause they can! See you at a theatre near me, Zulay.

Eva Longoria Defends Gabrielle Solis

Someone with a Bible could pin down Gabrielle Solis’s rupture of all the ten commandments over the last couple of seasons of “Desperate Housewives”, even the woman who plays her E.Lo.

“I wouldn’t like me very much if I did all those things to my girlfriends. I think Marc Cherry [the show's writer] writes these evil, evil things but in a light, fun way with great physical comedy aspects to it. I don’t know why people like her but I’m really glad [they] do.”

Yeah? You wouldn’t have a career otherwise. We see how you’re always whining, and you have a big stash, a fine husband, and plenty of designers sucking up. Wonder where the whining meter would be, if that wasn’t the case. 

El Cielo is the Limit for Javier Bardem

Now that Javier Bardem has won the ultimate validation for an actor, Something tells me that he won’t be one of those actors who wins an Oscar one year and then disappear from the face of the Earth, only to resurface in ‘hab.

Up next, he’ll be starring in Tetro, Nine, and of course Vicky Christina Barcelona, the movie that will pair him up with querida Penelope Cruz. Javier seems to be drawn to complex characters, as was the case with his Oscar-nominated role as Anton Chirugh in No Country for Old Men:

“Being a foreigner, in a foreign movie, my first American movie, in a foreign landscape, working one or two days a week, with a lot of free time – and that haircut – there was a moment when I felt totally isolated, totally detached, and that’s what I brought to the character. Somehow I understood him, without trying to understand him.”

Fabulosa o Desastrosa?

Uh, look. It’s Eva Mendes, at the Independent Spirit Awards. And in the spirit of independence, she decided to rock that yellow purse with that all-nun-grey outfit.

At least…She’s looking quite sober, ain’t she? No white stains beneath those nostrils, so the stint at Cirque Lodge must have done her some good already.  Goodness what size shoe does she wear? Those toes look like they start in Miami and end at Baranquilla, Columbia or something.

Jennifer Lopez Home with her Twins

Yeni is at home along with those twins with the on-the-hush names, says her OB/Gyn.

Yeni’s friend and producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas buzzed over the bliss that La Lopez and the contentment Skeletor papi are enjoying lately:

“She and Marc are so ready for a family. They love each other so much and built this beautiful life together. It feels like the only thing missing were these children, and now they have them. She really enjoyed her pregnancy.”

But child rearing will be left to the nanna. La Lopez is supposed to be filming her new movie Love and Other Possible Pursuits later on this year.

Oscar Curse

People are always saying that Oscars are a curse to a relationship. Once an actor or actress wins an Oscar, a romantic or marital split is not far behind. Wonder if this means that Javier and Penny will split soon?

Eva Longoria’s Crushing

Looks like E.Lo has a crush. And it ain’t on marido Tony Parker. The hyphenated misssus confessed that she has a crush on…

HISSIP RADAR: Melonie Diaz

Actress Melonie Diaz has been getting all sorts of acclaim, especially for an independent little film called Be Kind and Rewind. She’s shared her philosophy about acting recently:

”I am not a Method actor. I don’t know how to build a character. It’s a little conceited to say you are natural, but that’s what people have said about my performances. I can only justify it by saying I am playing a part of myself.”

Melonie is a Nuyorican, which makes her a target for the Hissiper’s radar. So, um, Melonie, you are now officially on the Hissiper’s radar. I see you, Melonie. You can’t hide.

Ana De la Reguera Regreso!

Ana De la Reguera will be starring in “Capadocia”, which will reunite her with Dolores Heredia  who played her mother  in ”Gitanas”, but don’t picture a “Gitanas”, clone. And hombres don’t expect those cleavage fests like the ones from Ana’s previous series. 

One critic pretty much summed up the 13-episode series, writing:

“En efecto, “Capadocia” es una excepción en la tv mexicana: no es una telenovela rosa protagonizada por galanes con poca ropa de la cintura para abajo … “Capadocia” es una denuncia del sistema penitenciario, al mismo tiempo que una historia sobre mujeres encarceladas.”

“Capadocia is an oddball in Mexican television.  It’s not a rosy telenovela with beautiful hunks with little clothes on and a lot of cleavage… “Capadocia” is an expose of the prison system, and at the same time it’s a story about incarcerated women.”

Well thank goodness it only runs for 13 episodes, and will be out of our faces. We’re sure that as one of AskMen.com’s sexiest women, Ana will find a way to lure viewers and to let a little cleave slip.

Isn’t Élan the cutest member of The D.E.Y?

 

 She’s certainly looking stylish these days.

Latinos Shine on the Oscar Red Carpet

Mira! It’s the once and future Mrs. Cash Warren along with Cameronita. Oh, the glamor.

Oh, look, its Penelope. She looks like she was in a morgue cabinet/drawer for a good 4 hours. She looks so flushed. Love the accessories though, from the pearl drop earring to the purse (again those purses!).

Oscars Latino Style

There was something about Cameron as she arrived at the Oscars.

She looked quite elegantq, along with that black metallic purse.

Javier Bardem Wins an Oscar

I told you: Javier Bardem beat out a lot of fellow great talents and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in No Country for Old Men.

 

Here he is arriving on the red carpet.

 Go Javier. The sky was the limit, but now you have the entire galaxy.

Eva Mendes’s Secret Lover

If you didn’t know, now you know: Eva Mendes has got a man, and it’s independent movie director George Gargurevich. [give yourself a cookie, if you were able to say that without stuttering].

 

Eva dished out on her hush-hush relationship:

“I was named on a list recently of the 10 hottest bachelorettes and I was like, ‘Really? I didn’t know I was up for grabs. Good to know.’ So there are people who don’t even know I have a boyfriend, which is fine by me.”

And looks like her publicity folks do not have paparazzi on mobile speed dial:  

“There are no public displays of affection. I don’t want that attention in my life.”

Chica, let’s see if you can keep that No PDA policy once the attention over your rehab stint has obliterated.

Jennifer Lopez Gives Birth to Twins

Congratulations to Yeni and Marky. They are parents to a boy and girl born this morning in a Long Island Hospital. Names haven’t leaked yet. But I wager, one will be a Marc Anthony, Jr., and the other (the girl) will have the surname of some Lopez relative.

 

You’re a nobody, til you give birth. Go J.Lo. Having those extra booties and inflated mammaries will all be worth it.

Sabine Moussier Splits with Her Baby Daddy

Sabine Moussier split from her longtime man Jorge Peralta. Sabine and Jorge are smart enough to know that the less said the better, but Sabine had this to say:

“Vivimos en un mundo retorcido, donde se intenta hacer daño a la gente para vender y queremos evitar malas interpretaciones o versiones, porque después no vamos a dar entrevistas, ni hacer caso a palabras tontas y dolorosas.”

 ”We’re living in a perverted world, where hurting people is a business and we’d like to avoid misinterpretations and multiple versions, so we’re not going to give any interviews, and we’re not going to pay any attention to people talking trash or saying vicious things.

Guess they weren’t that confident in their relationship in the first place. They had two kids and had been together six years, but the fornicators never made it legal.

Christina and Naked Domingos

Every family has their little traditions. In the ChrissyAgui-Bratman familia, there’s one too. A rather peculiar one:

“We have to be the cosiest couple around. We have something called naked Sundays. On Sundays we just do everything in the house, and we’re just cosy and laid back.We don’t need to go anywhere, we’re just with each other. We do everything naked. We cook naked. It’s important to keep the marriage alive, to spice it up a little.”

Say what? First those penile balloons, and now this? Wonder how Maxito will turn out.

Telenovela Cheats

So Marimar, Marimar, the hit telenovela starring Thalia, Fernando Colunga and Chantal Andere is now on DVD. And what a rip-off. A total of 10 hours for $24.95. The 10 hours on the 3 disc set don’t even cover a week’s worth of the show. If this isn’t a clear and cut robo, I don’t know what is. What’s so hard about putting an entire novela on DVD? The abridged editions I’ve seen have all been chopped up messes.

Christina Milian Out and About

Oh mira! It’s ChrissyMil, the Mujer in Red  seen recently at Japanese eatery Katsuya in Los Angeles.

 

Hope she didn’t get any sushi on that dress.

Christina Aguilera and “Those” Things

ChrissyAgui was on the Ellen Degeneres show yesterday, along with those things she calls her mammaries.

Nelly Furtado en Espanol

Nelly Furtado delighted fans by performing in Spanish yesterday at the Viña del Mar Festival in Chile. Before embarking in South America, Nelly made had already conveyed her appreciation for the culture.  

“I definitely feel Hispanic, I feel Latina. I have a very very strong connection with my culture. Singing in Spanish and singing in Portuguese is an extension of my love for my culture.”

Funny that her comments sound less condescending than when La Beyonce expressed similar sentimientos.

Wherefore Are Thou Michelle Rodriguez?

Wonder what Michelle Rodriguez is doing these days. Haven’t heard anything out of her since she was released out of her DUI penitence. She must be getting her liquor on behind closed doors in her abuela’s rocking chair, instead of a driver’s seat these days.

Eva Longoria Gets No Love From PETA

E.Lo might be the apple of Tony Parker’s eyes, but she’s not getting any carino from animal rights organization PETA. The organization placed her on their list of 2008 worst-dressed celebrities, saying:

“Eva Longoria is short on compassion. In her trashy furs, she looks like the streetwalker of Wisteria Lane. Eva is one “desperate housewife” in need of a quickie divorce – from her stylist.”

Whoo. That ain’t cold. That’s frigid. E.Lo if you want to evade all that hate don’t go around in those Basso coats, yokay?

Baby Dearests in the Making

What about Yeni’s babies? As she’s readying to give birth, I’ve been examining the damage. A $6 million dollar deal for their pics. Thousands of dollars spent on their nurseries. What will Yeni do for an encore? These spoiled brats aren’t even born and they’re having money thrown to them and at them.

I think we can look forward to the consequences in years to come. Think when these ninos grow up instant gratification will be the norm for them. Gird up your loins Yeni.

Christina Aguilera, Designer’s Muse

ChrissyAgui has dropped that baby and she’s wasting no time. Even with that million-stash for selling the pics of her Baby Max to People, ChrissyAgui ain’t resting.

 

 Her latest venture? Not really hers, but she’ll get some stash out of it I’m certain. Well, turns out she inspired jewelry designer [and celebrity suck-up] Stephen Webster. The price tags on these babies? About $343-3528. My advice to you hissipers: drive yourself to your nearest Walmart and get some imitations.

Hissip Tube: What Perez Sez About Divas

If you were among the ones who missed the premiere of “What Perez Sez About Divas: Act 1″, consider yourself very unfortunate.

 

Didn’t your abuela get a charm bracelet for you? The show featured Perez’s encounters with all sorts of divas: Pink, Tori Amos, Dolly Parton, Janet Jackson, and oh, Gloria Estefan. Turns out that Mariosito had a suprise for her at the end of her segment of the show. He staged a gay wedding for her (’cause every diva needs a gay husband’, according to Perez), complete with effete groomsmen, and a customized cake with Gloria and Perez pics.

What will Mario think of next?

Cameron Diaz: The Waxed Edition

Cameron Diaz has gotten a new honor. She now has her own doll in the famous Madame Tussaud Museum along with pal Drew Barrymore.

 

Wonder if her wax gemela can do the Scooby-Doo like her character in Charlie’s Angels? And I wonder who is the next Latina to be given the wax treatment? Yeni wouldn’t be a good idea, but The Butt might prove a challenge to the waxers.

Eva Mendes Getting Professional Help

Some people will stop at nothing to get some piece of mind. La Mendes, fresh out of rehab, confessed that she’s seeing a shrink. Let me correct my verb usage. She’s been seeing a shrink. For 2 years, now.

“When I started to become recognizable and somewhat famous, that was really hard for me to deal with. It was either I quit acting or I get some help, some tools to help me deal with fame and all that weirdness.”

Atta, chica. Get that ayudo. Evasita, you might want to get a price reduction, since that psychiatra didn’t prevent your Cirque Lodge admission, and all.

Presenting Daddy Yankee, El Mogul

Guess Daddy Yankee has a lot of gasolina in his game.  The reggaeton rapper just brought shares into the Puerto Rican basketball team. Commenting on his new venture:

“Since I support the talent here, I feel like I have to support the sport. These guys, these great athletes, give 100 per cent on the court. It makes us happy to see them win, and we hate to see them lose. I hope I can attend a lot of the games next season. There’s nothing like being there and watching your team win.”

Guess all those news reports about a recession are really getting to Latino celebridades. Everybody’s trying to get a back-up hustle.

Castro Has Stepped Down

After decades of ruling Cuba, Fidel Castro has stepped down. He wrote this statement for  online Cuban newspaper Gama:

“My wishes have always been to discharge my duties to my last breath. That’s all I can offer. But it would be a betrayal of my conscience to accept a responsibility requiring more mobility and dedication than I am physically able to offer. This I say devoid of all drama.” 

This of course has set off a lot of hissiping.

While everybody’s politicking, I wish they would ask the real questions:  will hermanito Raoul Castro’s dimunitive little body fit into Fidelito’s leopard camouflage uniforms, or is it call for some major alterations by a Havana seamstress? Or perhaps yet, will Raoulito override the style of the man Hugo Chavez called the most stylish world leader, and initiate his own style? Developing…

Raquel Welch, A Vieja Who Rocks

Raquel Welch is one of the original Glatinas, and she’s still giving a lot of Glaminas a run for their money at 67.  She was recently considered for a role in “Desperate Housewives”, but…

“There was talk, but nothing materialized. I’ve often thought that I would like to play a relative of Eva Longoria, but it’s fine.”

Raquelita is still a winner, though. She stars in ”Welcome to the Captain”, a sitcom.

On the show, she plays a 52-year old actress trying to make a comeback:

“A couple of times, people have wanted me to really lay it on thick,” Welch says of earlier offers to satirize herself, “but I already would have been doing the whole ‘vampy’ thing with the costume and hair and makeup. I just pray I have the same restraint as I go forward with this. I want to keep Charlene within bounds, but fun and likable as a human being. You can see she’s possibly deluded a little bit. I’m working in this medium. We’re all in this together, and I’m really enjoying it.”

No Engagement Yet for Satcha

Satcha Pretto ain’t engaged, yokay? Yet. So hold on to the rumor.

The Honduran host on the Univision network’s “Primer Impacto” denied that she’s been proposed to by her abogado novio Aaron Butler.

Girl, all I gotta say is this, when he does ask, you know that being a lawyer, he’ll try to hand you that prenup. Examine all the clauses chickita. You know with him, being in the law biz and all…

Dulce María’s Side Hustle

Fans had actually been circulating the book on the Internet, illegally; goodness knows where they got it (check the underpaid staffers at your publisher, Dulce). And unlike some Hollywood pulp, it’s not written by some ghostwriter. It’s all hers and hers alone:

The Spanish actress nominated the year before for Best Actress for her work in Volver by director will figure in the roster of presenters alongside other Oscar winners from 2007.

It would just be something if she were the one presenting Javier Bardem the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at the ceremony. How romantic would that be! Um, assuming that Javier gets the Oscar. But he will. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.

Zulay Henao Gets Her Acting Game On

Now that she’s done boning (or at least put her boning on pause or slow motion), Zulay Henao is ready to turn to serious biz, as in her acting career. Zulay is starring in the Charles S. Dutton-directed Lifetime movie Racing Against Time.

She plays Carmen, one of the toughest girls at most minority-inmate filled prison, who gets recruited by a kind-hearted prison guard to be part of the prison’s track team. It doesn’t get more serious than Lifetime.

[Gosh darn, these lime, hot pink tights look cutting. Bet that prison guard used putting a track team together as an excuse to get those girls wearing those pelvic squeezers.]

Juanes Has a Superstitious Fashion Sense

Know the term metrosexual? Looks like Juanes is one of those. The Columbian gave the UK’s The Independent fashion columnist Charlotte Philby a little insight into his fashion sense:

“How you look in something depends on your attitude. I started to choose my own clothes when I was a teenager. I discovered that I had an independent mind and was able to build my own style, which at the time came with the music I was listening to.”

And get this: Juanes has lucky boots:

“Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve worn the same style of black leather boots; they help me feel safe when I walk. They protect me both literally and metaphorically against all the dangers in life. When you begin to explore the world, you find many trials and tricks that you must be wary of. I travel so much that it’s important not to lose your way, spiritually. I feel this style of shoe can guide me when the road ahead is unclear.”

Gee, Juanesito, I hope you rotate them and don’t get attached to any particular one. With the humid weather in Columbia, I can imagine all the mildew that’s accrued in Juanesito’s boots. Remember to rotate your boots stash, querido.

Fat Joe’s Lawsuit Threats

Earlier this week, rumors were running rampant on the blogosphere, on a supposed cover of Hop Hop Weekly claiming Fat Joe’s wife was the jumpoff of Benzino, the co-founder of The Source magazine.

 

But BraggadaJoe is cracking on everyone:

“Fat Joe and his legal eagles have sent cease-and-desist letters to websites that were posting the bogus cover art, and they’re planning to sue for defamation,” writes Miss Info, who spoke to Joe last night. “Joe says that Benzino and Dave Mays reached out to make sure he knew that they had nothing to do with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if other women on the cover take legal action too.”

 If the threat of legal action isn’t forcing all the gossip mongers to stop spreadin’ the rumor, maybe the idea of being sat on by Fat Joe will.

Looks like People Magazine won the bidding war for first pics of ChrissyAgui’s creatura.

Max looks so cute. He reminds me of those little babies in those Anne Geddes book in the album and picture frame aisle at Ross. A month old and counting, Maxito is certainly bringing out the motherly side of ChrissyAgui:

“I think that there are adjustments, but [networks] are involved in a business and they have shareholders to report to and all of that.So they are adjusting their –at least from what I see–they are trying to adjust their strategies and realize that they need to be a little bit more supportive on the long-term basis.

Want to know why Christina Milian looks greasy some days and looks gorgeous the next? Get a hand on her beauty secrets.

La Milian let the chihuahua out of the duffel bag:

“I call up makeup artists and hairstylists and say “fix me, please!” No, I’m regular. I’m a very simple person. I moisturize my face. But other than that, I kind of just get creative. I pick out a magazine and pick out what my look is going to be that day.”

So, you mean to tell me Chrissy that when you look all glowy on the red carpet, it’s all due to your moisturizer? Maybe she was born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.

Mayra Veronica’s Got a Plan

Could Mayra Veronica be shepherding herself into classier territory? The video vixen showed up at this week’s Grammys looking quite presentable. Could she be mistress-minding a career into respectability?  

 

That’ll be something to see.

Prodigal Daughter Jessica Alba

Now that being Latina is in style, Jessica Alba wants to join the band wagon.

The star is reclaiming her roots, roots she claims she never denied. Ooh, and she wants the fetus growing within her to be dark. Like her. And about reports that she’s said she didn’t consider herself Latina:

“I  never said that. Cut loose from what? Why would I want to cut loose from the only family I know? I always took pride in being Latina, it’s something I always embraced. But when I got shunned, it made me feel really bad, like maybe I’m not.”

La Alba closed out by saying that Latinas are, well, quite hot, so much so that they’re spawning imitators:

“I like that I look different; I like having flavor. I think it’s funny that women get their lips injected, butt implants – everyone wants to look like us now.”

Making it so much easier for you to say you’re Latina, huh, Yessy?

Roselyn Sanchez for PETA

Roselyn Sanchez has joined Eva Mendes as one of the many stars who’d rather go naked than wear fur.

 Hope she, like, Evasita doesn’t get in the rehab line.

Mariah’s Aging Blues

Mariah is turning 40 in 2010, and she’s already panicking. A no-good friend told the London Mirror:

“She kept having to raid old closets for bigger clothes or buy new stuff. Finally, she just said to herself: ‘You’re stronger than this – you can be any size you want.’”

 All the self-talk, though, didn’t stop the panic. So, La Riah hit the diet circuit. The frienemy continued with her snitching, saying that Me!Me! was quite happy with the results she got, telling her friend:

“I’m muscular and have a butt and thighs, so I’ll never be as skinny as Paris Hilton.But I think I look good and I feel good, too. I hope I’m turning a few heads for a while to come.”

You will querida. Comfort yourself with these thoughts Me!Me!: at least you’re not turning 50 in two years.

Who’s That?

This is where this mystery woman spends her down time? Who could it be?

Want to know? Want a clue?

Christina Aguilera’s Penis-themed Baby Christening

We all know that ChrissyAgui is on the edgy side, but I really thought that motherhood would mellow that chica out. Turns out that Chrissy had penis balloons all over little Max Liron’s nursery to welcome him from his Jewish circumcision.

“It was a very sweet experience; we had a lot of close friends come over and experience the bris with us. We’re such a non-conventional couple, we had a lot of penis balloons everywhere.”

I’m speechless. For once.

Grammy’s Latino Style: Shakira + Winners List

Why is Shakira looking like a mess here? Here she is arriving at the Grammys in a Caroline Herrera gown. She must have thought she was going on a makeover show and was trying to look as shabby as possible as to make the makeover all the more spectactular.

She doesn’t look like a glamina at all. Even if she wasn’t going to do anything with the hair, she could’ve at least worked the outfit . Tsk, tsk. Want to read the list of the winners ( like Best Tejano album. Little Joe and La Familia) we actually care about and see more pics?

Grammys Latino Style: Christina and Juan Luis Guerra

It was a bad night for ChrissyAgui. While she looked like a Sabine woman in her gorgeous dress, she wasn’t a winner in any of the categories she was nominated. Like her duet with Tony Bennett from the Duets: An American Classic album. And she lost the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy for “Candyman” to Narcotics girl Amy Cokehouse for the Best Female Vocal Performance.

 

Who needs a Grammy anyway, though, when you can look this good in a Ungaro, in less than 6 months after dropping baby?

Oh, mira: it’s Juan Luis Guerra, winning yet another award. Juanito, get yourself a stylist, okay. Get a trim on that hair. For a minute there, I thought this was a file photo of Pavorotti.

Javier Bardem Nabs a BAFTA

Javier Bardem won a BAFTA award for his role as Anton Chirugh in No Country for Old Men.

 

Javier has already won a Golden Globe and the New York Critic’s Circle Awards for this role. Javier gave this perspective on his role as Anton recently:

“…he has an internal struggle: ‘the world is corrupted, the world needs some kind of punishment, and I’m here to remind them that.’ He doesn’t have any pleasure in what he does; he almost has pain in doing it.”

And a few words about what the role meant for him as an actor:  

“There was a challenge, which is how to bring the symbolic side of violence into human behaviour, so that people see a human being and not a terminator machine, otherwise we don’t feel for him, we just think, ‘Oh, here comes the machine.’ But at the same time, he has to have this unstoppable machine attitude.”

Wipe what little space you have left on your credenza Javier, ’cause you are going to get an Oscar as well. Don’t say I didn’t tell you, Javiercito. Penelope must be proud.

Out and About

Mira! It’s a quite voluptuous ChrissyAgui at the the Broad Contemporary Art Museum opening at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art over the weekend.

Guess little Max is at home, whinning and crying with the well-paid nanna.

 

She looks good that ChrissyAgui. This, I gotta say. And that rack of hers looks a little swollen. Did Little Max have a feeding, right before this outing?

A Glamina in Tech Geek’s Court

Jessica Alba might want to wipe herself with some drool disinfectant after guesting at the  Academy of Motion Picture Arts kept its Scientific and Technical Awards dinner. Said an adoring techgeek:

“For a computer geek like me, it’s really sexy to hear Jessica talk about stable, semi-Lagrangian fluid flows.”

Ooh, and look. She’s really showing. But, where was Cashito? Probably at home plopping up those pillows in preparation of sleeping on the couch again tonight.

What’s Eating Eva Mendes

Eva is in rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah. No, she’s out. Now, she’s heading back in.

 Steve Carafelli, La Mendes’s heralder told E!:

“Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly.”

Just head to the dollar store Eva, and get yourself one of those $1 notebooks, and start writing. I’ve read that writing your thoughts out real help you clear out your head. Please cut that cocaine habit. Addictions get expensive, not mention cut out work. At least, you’ve wrapped up production on The Women and those Calvin Klein commercials.

Shakira Strips Off Her Clothes for a Good Cause

Not literally now. Guys, don’t you wish. Shakira is auctioning off all her get ups from her Oral Fixation tour via Ebay Giving Works, and is doing it all in the name of charity, her Bare Foot Foundation to be more exact.

A sample of the  40 outfits that will be auctioned off:

 a shiny lavender skirt with turquoise and coral beading

 a bright red dress with a plunging neckline and huge, winglike sleeves

 a blue tank top emblazoned with the slogan “For Those Who Love to Rock”

The proceeds will benefit children in Northern Columbia. Oh, such a generous heart.  Wish Yeni would give away some of her pre-pregnancy clothes, with me as sole beneficiary.

Whore No More

Now that he’s two years away from turning 30, Wilmer Valderrama wants to leave whoring behind.

The one time 70s Show actor now turned clothing designer and every now and then club harlot told the Associated Press:

“You want the media to focus on what you are creating. For me I had to go back to the drawing board to reformulate my priorities. I played enough, and decided, OK, now it’s time to work.”

Oh. Sounds like a rewritten version of Paris Hilton’s I-learned-my-lessons-image-PR campaign.

Billboard Latin Award Nominees Are In!

Cuban drum roll please…Billboard Latin nominations have been announced.

Yeni received a nod for her album “Como Ama Una Mujer”. About time Mrs. Marc Anthony got herself some sort of industry validation for that album.  Wisin y Yandel copped noms as well. As if they needed any more reasons to get full of themselves. The Miami Herald had listings in other categories:

Hot Latin Song of The Year: Mi corazoncito — Aventura; No te veo — Casa De Leones; Dimelo — Enrique Iglesias; Me enamora — Juanes [No more drama for Juanes and more awards!]

Latin Album Of The Year (New Category): Todo cambio — Camila; El cartel: The Big Boss — Daddy Yankee; Como ama una mujer – Jennifer Lopez; Wisin vs. Yandel: Los extraterrestres — Wisin & Yandel

Latin Pop Album of the Year, Male: Quién dijo ayer — Ricardo Arjona; Papito — Miguel Bose; Viento a favor — Alejandro Fernández; La vida . . . es un ratico — Juanes [ooh, Juanes again. Congrats compadre!]

Garden — Aventura; La llave de mi corazón — Juan Luis Guerra Y 440; [Juan Luis Guerra again! Oh, well good for this papacito; Los 4 fantasticos — Karis; United We Swing – Spanish Harlem Orchestra

Could Camila supplant RBD in the music biz? All they have to do is get a girl or two to join.

Congrats to all.

Rapper Gives His Father a Beat Down

The apparently more violent half of the reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel, Wisin gave his father a culo whupping in Puerto Rico during a tamales-hot argument over roosters they’re raising for cockfighting.

 Wisin released this sheepish statement to the press:

“Blood runs thicker than water, and my family is part of me. Please understand this and give us space to deal with this matter privately.”

Generous Papacito decided not to press charges for the beat down. But, what about the cock-fighting? Um, like, doesn’t PETA have a branch in Puerto Rico?

A Jennifer Lopez Sighting!

Where’s Yeni? There’s Yeni! She was accompanied by Markitos at last night’s Madonna-hosted and Gucci-sponsored UNICEF benefit for Malawi.

  

Could this be her last public appearance before she gives birth to Marcia and Jeno?

Vida Guerra Got a New Job

So Vida Guerra is going to be the host of the Speed network’s “Livin’ the Low Life”. And it’s not a reality show based on her life, as you might have surmised from the title. It’s actually an auto-themed show about lowriding culture. La Guerra gave out a statement about her new gig:

“With ‘Low Life,’ I’m just being myself … hanging out and having fun. If there was something new for me it was that I had to learn about the cars by asking a lot of questions. So, I’m actually speaking for the audience. From my questions I hope that people will learn to appreciate not only the cars but also the people who build them.”

Oh, brother. What’s next for her: hosting a show on the history channel, so people could appreciate D-Day?

Out of the Mouth of the Padre

Jennifer Lopez’s dad David let the chihuahua out of the duffel bag, revealing to Escandalo TV that his daughter and Marc Anthony are indeed expecting twins. The abuelo gushed out to the entertainment show:

“The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing. I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years.”

Abuelo Lopez, not suprisingly, looks forward to grandpaping J.Lo’s gemelos and is already quite protective, adding:

 ”In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture.”

 We don’t need any better confirmation than this. Thanks, abuelito.

Maribel Guardia the Mogul

Maribel Guardia is turning herself into a beauty mogul, and will be launching her own lipstick line, and of course, the celebrity enterpreneur staple…a perfume.

Don’t expect her perfume to stink up all of Mexico, though.

“Me encantan los colores vivos. El rosa para los labios se me hace muy sensual. Quiero un cosmético discreto, pero que distinga la personalidad de cada mujer y un perfume de acuerdo a tu personalidad. Me gustan los aromas florales discretos”.

“I love lively colors. Roses for the lips make me feel very sensual. I want a subtle cosmetics line, but the kind that brings out the personality of every woman and a perfume that goes with the personality. I love flower scents that are discreet.”

We’d like it like that too, Maribel. If it’s another thing we don’t need it’s  another stinky celeb perfume.

Aracely and Luis Miguel as Tight as Ever?

Aracely Arámbula is standing by her man Luis Miguel. Despite the fact that there has been wide reports that Miguelomaniac had a jumpoff—none other than Luciana Salazar–Aracely told Univision TV host Rodner Figueroa, that the two of them are doing okay, thank you.

 The tv personality summarized his interview with the star during an encounter in New York recently:

“Ella no quiere perder su tiempo en aclarar rumores, está enfocada en su vida familiar. Me dijo que Luis Miguel, Miguelito y ella están conectados por un cordón umbilical.”

She didn’t want to waste any time addressing rumors. She’s very preoccupied with her family life. She told me that Luis Miguel, Miguelito [that'll be her 1 year old son by Luis Miguelomaniac] are connected like an umbilical cord. 

And you can’t get any connected that. But umbilical cords can get caught off, Aracelita. Bet you the minute your new Televisa contract puts you to work, Luis Miguelomaniac will start acting up, resume and/or increase in his collecting jumpoffs. Pobre Aracely.  One day, she’ll see the light and leave this perro for good.

Christina Back to Business

Could it be? Si, Senora, es ella. Christina Aguilera promoting her Back to Basics DVD at Best Buy. She was giving birth…it seems only yesterday.

Jennifer Lopezisms

While waiting for those twins to pop out, why don’t we benefit from a little bit of Jennifer Lopez wisdom. While promoting her newest perfume Deseo to the British press, Yeni had a few interesting things to share:  

“People ask me, ‘Do you think you can have it all?’ and you know what? “I am like, ‘I don’t know, I would like to think so. We will have to wait and see. I think as a person you have to be true to yourself – nobody can tell you what is right for you.”

In this sexist mundo, women can’t win it all. Yeni’s perspective:  

“I think the problem for women is that we are used to pleasing people, and always wanting for everybody to be happy around us, and sometimes we forget about ourselves. It’s important sometimes to think, ‘I know what’s good for me’.”

The columnist who interviewed Yeni felt she was a little colder than usual, but J.Lo’s next words seem to explain it all: 

“I am at the beginning of a huge change. I think everyone is constantly changing and evolving, new things are becoming important in our lives all the time – and never more so than for me now. The whole growing-up thing, maturing…it’s difficult, but everyone has to do it.”

Yes, Yeni do your thing.  

Mariah Carey Don’t Like “Ugly”

Who’s afraid of a tad bit of ethnicity in their realms? According to a hissiper on the set of Mariah Carey’s new movie Tennessee, La Riah was a bit uncomfty about getting her nose beefed up:

“Mariah is the nicest person to work with; everyone loves her. But she was uncomfortable being uglied up for the part. When she saw the nose, she called her people and decided against it.”

She said yeah to cornrows, but I guess the nose would make her a little more too ethnic. Girl, what’s wrong with you? That’s what getting into character is all about, or do you want Tennessee to be another Glitter?

Conjetura

What are these little boys and girls doing down in Florida?

Can you guess…

Oscar De La Hoya Prime

Boxer Oscar De La Hoya turned 35 yesterday. That’s a senior citizen in boxing age.

For De La Hoya, the work never stops. A few years ago, he told Boxing Insider:

“I work very hard in everything I do. Every time I step inside the gym, I give it my all. I train hard. I am a very dedicated fighter. When everything is fine and dandy and you are throwing good combinations and it looks beautiful, it looks really nice and it sounds good. You do not think about whether you are learning or not, stepping up to the next level.”

3 Latinas Make Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue

Not a token, but three Latinas made Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue. The three that made it wasn’t really much a surprise: America Ferrera, Zoe Saldana, and Alice Braga.

One question though…where was Dania Ramirez and Selena Gomez? Oh well, for next year’s issue. Anyway, congrats mujeres.

Will Eva Mendes Lose her Calvin Klein Endorsement Deal?

With Eva Mendes checking herself in rehab, wonder if those wonderful gente at Calvin Klein are getting nervous?

You know how companies are. When you’re doing good, they’re all up on you. They want to use you to push and peddle their stuff. And when you’re having some image challenge, you look right and left and can’t find ‘em. She is suppose to be the face of their  Fall advertising campaign for their fragrances line. They’ve already given the “We-support Eva-during-this-difficult-time-and-respect-her-decision to- seek-professional-help” statement release…

But, who knows what they’re really thinking?

For Aging Latinas, Telenovelas is the Place to Be

Look at a telenovela these days and it’s hard to see any jovens. . Practically all of the women playing leads are over 40 or so. Yep, It’s viejas right and left. Don’t American actresses wish they could have it like that?

There’s Victoria Ruffo in the remake of “Mirada de Mujer” entitled ”Victoria”, born in May 1962.

And there’s Susanna Gonzalez…born in 1973. Oh, wait, ‘73 would make her about 35. So, she only looks old. My bad.

 And Laura Flores? She’s the lead in “Al Diablo Con Los Guapos”. She’s an August of ‘63 nina.

Laura Zapata, Jacqueline Andere  (“Amor sin maquillaje”and Lupita Ferrer (“Pecados Ajenos”) do not have lead roles, but they’re still rocking the pasion.

Lucia Mendez, of Ama de “Casas Desesperadas” was born the year 1955.

What could be inspiring this agelicious trend? Could there be a lack of young actresses in telenovela land?

Nah. It’s ’cause Latinos don’t abandon their aging hags. That’s what.

El Rey Del Acordeon Gets the Key to the City

If you don’t know who Ramon Ayala is, you better ask somebody. El Rey, the architect of norteño, cantina and tejano style of music and master manipulator of the accordion, will turn 63 next month. He was recently given the key to the city of Coacherella, CA.  

Jessica Gets an Early Baby Shower from Tyra Banks

Talk show host Tyra Banks gifted expecting mamacita Jessica Alba about $6k in baby gifts while the actress was promoting her movie The Eye on her show last week.

 

There’s something peculiar about celebrities gifting celebrities. Why couldn’t Tyra donate those gifts to some Guatemalan orphanage? And shouldn’t gifting be a private affair? Oh, unless some sleek product placement is involved.

Laura Flores in “Al Diablo con los Guapos”

Some divas never lose it.

 

Laura Flores is one of them. She’s currently starring in the telenovela “Al Diablo con los Guapos” with César Évora. She can sing and she can act. Some women have it all.

Eva Mendes in ‘hab

Eva Mendes. In ‘hab. Who would have thought? But sure enough, word came through her publicist:

 ”Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support.”

 Only last year, La Mendes was running her mouth to Gotham magazine about the out-of-control Hollywood townfolksgals:

“You know [who they are]—pick up Us Weekly and they’re there. I feel bad for these girls. I don’t look down on them. I think they’re in a really hard situation. It’s out of control. I look at them with sympathetic eyes because I just can’t imagine how it is to deal with that.”

Well, Eva is dealing with that. But only at a smaller extent (as far as we know anyway). Some people sure know how to keep up appearances.

Guess the point is, she realized she had a problem and took the steps to remedy it. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Girl, hurry, there’s movies to shoot, Sexiest of Lists to top. If you’re locked up in some rehab suite, who am I going to dish on? Come on, now.

Shakira Turns 31!

Besides behind the second day of a really short month, this February 2nd is also the dia that Shakira turns 31. She was born today back in ‘77.

Here’s a look at the chica over the years.

Ama de Casas Desesperadas Rakin’ it in for Univision

It’s more good news for Univision and for the hard-working folks working on “Ama de Casas Desesperadas”. The ratings are in and Univision figured #4 in the 10 P.M. timeslot at 1.4 million viewers, only after NBC’s “Chuck,”  the CBS show “Without a Trace,” and ABC’s  ”Big Shots.”

You just know a lot of those ratings have to do with Gabriela Vergara. Wow, what an actress.

Univision, hope you pay her well. Telemundo can snatch her up for their next production and catch up, you now.

Cameron Diaz Wants a New Vencindad

Cameron wants to get the heck out of Hollywood and word is, she’s eyeing West Chelsea, New York.

Back in Hollywood, Cameron lived in a neighborhood not too far from Paris Hilton, perhaps you’ve heard of her.  Cameron describes the hell of it all:

“She [talkin' about Pareez] just has to get it [her whereabouts] plastered all over the world and have 10 helicopters around her house, which I live not too far from – I was like, ‘Can you keep it down?’ So we all suffer when Paris suffers.” And added:

“Hollywood is a funny place. It offers so much, but it can also take a lot away from you.”

Like your right to privacy, huh, Cameronita, especially since you are rumored to be romancing former Felicity actor Scott Speedman, with whom you were in the Bahamas recently. West Chelsea is the perfect assylum. But if the paparazzi follow, you can always manhandle them. For a look at La Diaz’s man portfolio…

The Year of America

I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again. The ‘08 is going to be the year of America Ferrera. She might share the honors with Dania Ramirez, but man, America has the star game on lock.

 I see her as my generation’s J.Lo with even more curves. Don’t know how far she is into her search for a Skeletor husband. If I think of someone, I’ll send her a suggestion.

I can see her coming out with her own fragrance, in a red sensuous bottle with a name like The Beautiful. Ooh, ooh, and a clothing line…a clothing line tied in with the Traveling Pants franchise. This girl has got so much game. Sigh.

Latinas on AskMen’s 99 Sexiest Women Countdown

AskMen.com did their annual 99 Sexiest Women countdown and not suprisingly, a lot of Latinas made the list. Those who made the list? I’ve filtered everyone else, so here’s the Latino-friendly list:

#79 Ana De La Reguera. Not a bad choice. According to the website, the sultry Mexican actress earned a 91% on her sexiness report card. 

The site drooled: “engaging brown eyes, perfect complexion, cascading locks, and unforgettable figure… ole”

But how did #78 Nadine Velazquez get a 93% from readers against Ana’s 84%. Go fig. Click on to read the see the other ladies who topped the countdown.
