Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
Jorge Ramos would like you to know that he rejects the use of his impossibly cute face image to support the message of any politician, whether he or she is Republican or Democrat. The video below comes on the heels of Barack Obama’s promotional campaign video using a clip from Noticias Univision with Ramos talking about Latinos and the lack of health insurance.
Watch Ramos in full action defending his journalistic integrity and… sigh away, muchachas. Isn’t he something?
Paisana and fellow heavy-accented Mexican Kate del Castillo is the latest celebrity to support PETA. Watch her saying how much she loves theeese cute aneeemals.
Burger King has a secret weapon to sell more salads. They are hot and they are Latinas.
Watch Sofía Vergara and Salma Hayek flaunt their cute accents and other attributes to get men go crazy for some greens.
There are those who don’t really need to wear jeans –or much else for that matter– to get ahead.
In the latest celebrity/fashion trend, weather woman extraordinaire Jackie Guerrido has launched her own line of jeans, which according to MTVtr3′ Blogamole:
“… are designed for every occasion and for women like me, who work every day to get ahead.”
I think that’s just fantastic, especially because I always thought that to get ahead like Ms. Guerrido you actually had to favor big cleavages, high-heels and very short skirts.
So thanks for the heads up, Jackie… As a woman who works every day to get ahead, I’m just going to slip on my jeans and continue to make things happen! Perhaps a job at Univision is in my near future.
Not sure if I’m buying this, but apparently one of the richest women in the Whole Wide World can run out of milk in the middle of the night, and would do the impossible for a gallon of milk.
The ad might be unbelievable, but quite funny if you asked me. Just watch.
If you thought Mexican luminaries are the only ones paying tribute to Roberto Gómez Bolaños, Chespirito, think again. In a sign that El Chapulín Colorado knows no borders, JLo picked to wear this for her latest V Magazine cover shoot.
¡No contaban con su astucia!
Call me biased, but I prefer JuanGa’s outfit, like, a million times better. Which do you prefer?
¡Sí, señor!
1. Where in New York City can I drive that fast, with no traffic, nor traffic lights?
2. How did JLo manage to fit her gigantic derrière in that tiny little vehicle?
Anyone?
There is nothing more refreshing than spending some time with a 23-year-old U.S.-born Latino and hear his take on Hispanic media and marketing… Oh, and if such a 23-year-old is terribly good looking, well, all the better.
On Tuesday, I was lucky to moderate a panel featuring Mr. Canela and Post Foods senior director of marketing Tony Shurman.
The session focused on a Post Foods’ Hispanic marketing promotion featuring Mr. Canela as the spokesperson of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.
When I asked Canela (a star of Telemundo telenovela Más sabe el diablo) about the content on Hispanic television, he simply said it isn’t “quite there yet.”
“Why do telenovelas have to be so… so… so… dramatic?” he asked.
And that was not all. While Shurman informed us the Jencarlos Canela campaign far exceeded the company expectations; the young kid said that was at least half the sales boost was owed to his mother.
“I got home and I was like, ‘Mom, what is this?’ There were cereal boxes all over the place…I asked her, ‘What are you going to do with all these cereal boxes?’
I had always heard about this guy who, for some reason, Hispanic media kept calling the Jorge Ramos of the general market.
Today, on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 I finally understood why.
And you thought this date had any other meaning!

I love the way the gringo announcer says “Andres Cantor.” Priceless
Father Albert (aka El socerdote, ahem, I mean, sacerdote) is back on the television scene, this time as host of Father Albert Show a new show on Fox, which premieres today and promises lots of juicy, scandalous stuff (probably not as juicy and scandalous as his own, but we’ll see.)
I am told the very first episode will revolve around Father Alberto’s own fall from grace, which happened not when he decided to confess his “love” for some woman, but was caught canoodling at the beach with her.
If food giant McCormick is serious about its recent Hispanic marketing push, it should seriously consider bringing Ventaneando’s Pedro Solá as spokesperson. Just watch him trying to spice up his salad with McCormick, ahem, Hellman’s.
You should always trust this blogger when she tells you someone is onto something.
Not sure you remember this, but Univision’s COO Randy Falco was hard at work May 19th posing for the cameras and showing Univision’s owners he was not only fit for the top job, but could easily hang out with some of the network’s big-breasted most talented people.
Falco today was appointed Univision’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Congrats, Randy, now can you go get some Spanish lessons?
If you thought the most dangerous place for a Latino was Arizona or a meatpacking plant in Minnesota, think again. According to Latino organization Unidos por la Vida the most dangerous place for a Latino is, well, in the womb of their evil mamitas.
The not-so-obscure organization has the support of Texas Governor, Rick Perry, and is endorsed by some Latino luminaries, including Emmanuel, Verónica Castro, Karyme Lozano and Leticia Calderón, who are expected to show up at some kind of pay-per-view event June 12 in Los Angeles. Also, according to Fox News Latino, they are planning a media blitzkrieg featuring the billboard above.
Ay, caramba!
