Jay Hernández is Quarantined

Ay! Just look at those hasel eyes…

Mexican/American actor (delicia) Jay Hernández scares the crap out of… no one in the set up for the Knott’s Scary Farm Premiere of “Quarantine,” Held on October 9 in Buena Park, California.

The 30 year-old actor looked happy, sexy as blood, gore and all things dark hell, standing next to his cast member, the eerie wounded guy, and also flirting with la Dominicana, actress Dania Ramirez.

After all, they’re so scared in this movie that all they’ve got is each other.  And possibly, each other’s numbers on speed dial.

The 2008 ALMA Awards Low-Down

alma

Many of us remember those back-in-the-day moments, when we barely witnessed any diversity on our favorite television shows or movies, which is why American Latino Media Arts (ALMA) receives props for honoring our presence and importance in entertainment. We may love to hate on a couple of estrellas, but the fact is that they are here to trash talk for many years to come!

This year’s awards will be hosted by Eva Longoria, who is also a part of the selection committee. The “Desperate Housewives” actress spoke about erasing her name from the ballot and her take on Latinos in the limelight.

“Everybody knows Desperate Housewives, let’s recognize the people that you may not know on certain shows. I’m involved in the balloting and the selection process and the committee. So for me it was a conflict of interest.”

“I think the only person that I knew who was Latino when I was growing up was Rita Moreno on West Side Story. There weren’t a lot of Latino role models.”

Even Eva realizes that she is over-rated! Not a bad call.

Make sure to check out the ALMA Awards on Friday, September 12 at 8PM ET on ABC.

Quién luce mejor?

jlo and eva

Las estrellas were shining bright at last night’s Vogue Magazine Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. The exhibit theme might have been ‘Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy,’ but Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria flowed down the red carpet like pura damas.

J.LO was representing for all the fierce baby mamas in a long textured gown revealing her amazing post-pregnancy figure. Her old Hollywood look was finished off with a classy silver clutch and stunning diamond jewelry.

Homegirl, Eva also transformed into a red carpet renegade in a plum colored couture gown. The elegant textured look drew plenty of attention and complimented the star perfectly.

Both of these ladies prove to be true fashionistas, but who do you think rocks their look the best?

Estilo Hits And Misses

Aylin Mujica

Latin Billboard awards host, Aylin Mujica was modeling the fake bronze look like a pro last night! To match her golden glow, the star was also seen wearing several tacky gowns on stage.

It seemed like her wardrobe changes revealed one stripper gown after another! Her nipples were dying to pop out of at least half of those dresses!

We don’t think her estilo transformations deserve any applause, but there were a bunch of red carpet estilo misses at last night’s awards.

Check out our red carpet pics and vote on your best and worst dressed!

From Blush To Black

Penelope Oscars 2007 vs 2008

Penelope Cruz followed the feathered trend and strutted down this year’s red carpet in a black strapless Chanel Haute Couture gown.

The actress went from 2007 Academy Award nominee for her work in “Volver,” to 2008 award presenter. This might explain why she appeared more glamorous at last year’s event when she wore a beautifully designed blush Versace gown.

Better luck next year Penelope.

Eva’s Family Love

Eva and Parents

Eva Longoria shared the family love at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, Over Her Dead Body. The lovely actress looked beautiful in a petal pink dress while posing for pictures with her proud parents.

Longoria is known for being una mujer de familia. In 2006, she purchased a house for her family and stated the following on the Oprah show,

“I never knew we were that poor … because [we] grew up with a lot of love and my family’s really close. [Since buying the house] every day my mom wakes up and says, ‘I feel like I won the lottery!’”

Share the love Longoria! I wonder if she is that giving to ‘distant cousins’ knocking on her door and saying, ‘Remember me…I’m your prima Juana?’

Regardless, Eva proves that she is wealthy in more ways than one.
