Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
If it weren’t for the promise of a hot kissing session between Kate del Castillo and Eva Longoria, I wouldn’t have paid attention to the upcoming release of Without Men, a romantic cliché comedy of sorts starring Longoria, my favorite retroacculturated Latina and Christian Slater.
This blogger can’t wait to not watch this thing.
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.
As if I didn’t know where the Atlantis crew got their inspiration for such colorful suits…

If you are in the advertising, or food marketing business, you’d better get acquainted with Ecuador’s singing sensation El Delfín, whose “Andean techno-folklore” style will help your next TV spot truly unforgettable.
Behold this advertising jewel via Maruri Grey, which –not surprisingly– has earned plenty of advertising awards in its native Ecuador.
I love it when marketers go out of their way to make their products relevant to us, Latinos.
Take Descuento Libre, which is already being coined as the “Latino Groupon” and offers all sorts of discounts, including deals in your next purchase of conchas at your local Mexican panadería, or on the admission to a Mexican dancing show.
Because really, what else can we possibly want to save on?
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 are remotely familiar with La Michoacana, and its über successful chain of ice cream parlors throughout Mexico, you’d understand why this is one of the most brilliant monikers, like, ever.

…And speaking of Hispanic media and Chiquinquirá Delgado, watch as Tom Hanks spices up Univision’s weather segment during a fleeting visit to the network on June 21, the longest and most caliente day of the year.
Hispanic print media continues to impress me beyond words.
This time, the June edition of Gente Latina brings readers some super valuable information, such as How to send an email, which is like, super cool, because as everybody knows we Latinos like to communicate with each other using telegrams, postcards, sign language, smoke signals and the like.
Next time you want to blame God for your misfortunes, you might want to turn to undocumented immigrants instead. After all, that might be more convenient and will eventually make you feel better for not spitting all over God and stuff.
Ask Senator John McCain, of Arizona, who pretty much thinks undocumented immigrants should be blamed for the state’s wildfire crisis.
“We are concerned about, particularly areas down on the border, where there is substantial evidence that some of these fires were caused by people who have crossed our border illegally,” he said over the weekend. You don’t believe me? Just watch!
I always thought that one good thing about having Mexico’s Finance Minister Agustín Carstens replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn as head of the IMF, is that he would spend more time eating than groping chambermaids in hotel rooms.
But upon refreshing my memory with this picture from a recent Mexico visit by the Sarkozys, I became increasingly anxious at the possibility.
It seems our finance minister has a knack for both, eating and ogling women.
Ay, caramba!
One thing I’ve always loved about Americans is their penchant for specialization.
Take a special unit at Newark Airport that is becoming so adept at racial profiling that they have come to be known as the “Mexican Hunters.”
According to the Daily Mail:
To be sure, these fellows are also stopping Dominicans, but hey, you cannot ask them to be that good at telling one Hispanic from another, can you?
