A man, immune to a virus that has apparently wiped out the rest of humanity, spends his days in Manhattan keeping fit, having one-way conversations with his dog, waiting at the same place and time every day for someone, anyone, to show up–and trying to keep from going insane. Oh yeah, and catching bloodthirsty zombies […]

First things first: Two of our people earned acting nominations: Javier Bardem ( for his supporting role in “No Country for Old Men”) and America Ferrera (for lead TV comedy actress in “Ugly Betty.” Otherwise “Atonement” owned today’s announcement of the Golden Globes nominations, grabbing seven nominations. The beautifully made drama, adapted from Ian McEwar’s […]

Hello pretties! Happy Holidays! Last night was the Latina holiday party, held at the deliciously hip Son Cubano restaurant in the painfully hip Meat Packing district of lower Manhattan. I, of course, ran late. This time it wasn’t my fault: There were meetings to finish, phone calls to return, nails to polish. My nails were […]

Hello girls! Today I am introducing you to the first entry in my beauty series “It’s an Oldie, but a Goodie.” This is going to be a round-up of fantastic beauty products that I’ve been loving for years – and I just know you all will, too! The first is my favorite body moisturizer, The […]

Who’s hotter: José or Teddy? You decide.
I’ve been blessed to see some amazing concerts in ‘07 (The White Stripes at Madison Square Garden, La Mala at S.O.B.’s, MIA at Terminal 5 and Ojos de Brujo at Highline Ballroom are a few highlights), but there have been terrible ones, too. One of them, oddly enough, […]

Let me just start by saying that I am the world’s best aunt. During my Thanksgiving stay in Miami, I played improvised games with my 7-year-old nieces, took them on a fun field trip, made a girl-power playlist on their mom’s ipod, bathed them, put them to bed, snuggled up next to them when they […]

“Drama/Mex” is the first movie produced by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna’s Canana Films to hit the states. Didn’t make much of a splash in theaters over the summer, but it came out on DVD this week.
