    @SelenaGomez & @VanessaHudgens Leave Disney Behind & Become @SpringBreakers

    Disney channel superstars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens shove their mouse ears (and innocence) to the back of the closets with Spring Breakers. The media surrounding the indie film had been at full force; I’m guessing the publicity bill for the flick was parallel with the cost of the actual shooting budget–or...

    @JessicaAlba is Living an @Honest Life

    Jessica Alba captured the attention of every man (and let’s admit it, every woman) with her underwater work in Columbia Pictures’ Into the Blue. But the Latina beauty is much more than television & film eye candy. She is mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur using her celebrity and status to provide...

    Latin Icon, Lupe Ontiveros, Left Out of the In Memoriam Tribute Video at The Oscars

    There are certain things one can expect at The Oscars: the red carpet, awkward moments when a joke falls flat, sappy speeches, boring speeches, genuine heartfelt speeches, and the In Memoriam Tribute video.

    Where Were the Latinas at The Oscars?

    Of course I’m biased, but I think Latinas rock the red carpet like no one’s business and the Oscars are no exception. The Academy has embraced us to an extent and always given the spotlight to a Latina name at some point during the show. In fact, who could forget when Cameron...

Though the producing power couple have a platonic relationship, they’ve been making magic together since E.T. The Honor Society: Zero Dark Thirty,...

    J.Lo’s New Charitable Clothing Collection

    I have a love/hate relationship with Jennifer Lopez. Okay, hate is a strong word; let’s say I have love/kinda not thrilled sentiments towards her. On one hand I can’t deny she’s paved the way for a lot of Latinas. She made us cool, she has made us marketable, and did it with...
