Kicking off a music blog with a post about Jennifer Lopez is fitting in some ways, and admittedly eyebrow-raising in others, but what the hey—I’m doing it anyway. Especially because I’m off to Atlantic City (aka the holy land of New Jersey) tonight to check out the debut of her tour with Marc (don’t […]

This season of “America’s Next Top Model” has a theme, and it’s not “be fierce.” The theme is Saving the Planet (or something like that), and girls will live in a green (aka eco-friendly) house, which, I think, is very cool.
The thirteen hopefuls moved into the Green House, and the drama starts almost immediately. A […]

So, what did you all think of Cane? Loved it? Hated it? Will you watch again?
Unfortunately, the ratings for the long-awaited show (by Latinos, anyway) weren’t quite so, uh, sweet. Here’s what Benjamin Toff of the New York Times had to say:

Habla and Habla Mas, showing through Saturday on HBO on Demand, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Far from being earnest […]

So, after years of not knowing what to do with a dark-skinned Latina with potential, it seems like Hollywood finally just decided to shove Zoe Saldana into outer space. Not only has the Dominican actress started shooting James Cameron’s $200 million 3-D extravaganza, Avatar, but she just signed on to do a new Star Trek […]

Just doing my part to see that Eastern Promises, which just went wide this weekend after premiering in just 15 theaters on September 14, gets the word of mouth that it deserves. It should get a big audience, not only because it is a taut crime story that manages to have a very personal, small […]
