They seem to be perfectly chummy. On television anyway! Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony seem to be completely satisfied with one another and their new separate lives regardless of their failed marriage. To watch them together now, whether it’s on their new reality television show Q’Viva The Chosen or promoting this same series on an exclusive pre-Valentine’s Day special on Ellen, the superstar couple doesn’t seem to have any trouble at all making nice...

Latin America is one of the wonderful regions of America that is divided into four further primary sub-regions. These are the Central America, North America, South, as well as the Caribbean. Spoken dialects in this area which ...
They looked so happy on the set of El Chavo del 8. All friends up to puro borlote in the vecindario for so many years. Forty years to be exact. Who would have ever thought that in their Golden years the cast of El Chavo would be going through such drama? Well it’s Carlos Villagrán, better known as the lovable cacheton ‘Quico’ who seems to be calling foul on this one. The 68 year old actor told Mexican media outlets today that he has not been invited to the multinational “América celebra a Chespirito” homage that’s being planned across Latin America and the United States on February 19, and that he wouldn’t be a part of such an event even if he was invited...
I LOVE a great funny commercial, and one featuring the popular Mexican dance of Quebradita definitely fits the bill! On Super Bowl Sunday while most of us were too busy evaluating the million dollar ads being unveiled for the first time during the big game, this little gem was already airing on Spanish-language networks like Univision and Telefutura. I have to say, out of all the new commercials that I’ve seen lately, this one is hands down my absolute favorite...
2/6/2012 By Brad Kane When South Windsor-based TicketNetwork decided to launch a Spanish-language version of its sports and concert ticket exchange Web site, company officials thought primary customers would be Hispanics living in America.
Recognizing and awarding visionaries and change-makers in the online comunidad at the official Latino event at SXSW Interactive, The Social Revolución… how could one resist being a part of that!? More than anything else I was so excited to hear something like this was finally taking place. ¡Enhorabuena! The Social Media landscape has opened the door to so many new talented faces in our comunidad that it’s about time we started celebrating them as well...
Spanglish! It’s a love-hate relationship I’ve had with the language. Growing up it was Spanish at home, English at school. In truth, I don’t even remember talking in Spanish with my siblings… and even now it still feels a little awkward to do so – like it is unnatural between us or something. That’s probably because as soon as we all started speaking English we just began communicating with each other almost exclusively in that language...

It doesn’t take much to send me flying down memory lane about the good old times we used to have in Mexico. Life there has always seemed so much simpler than life here, at least for us who have always gone down there to visit only, never to live permanently. Every time we get to reminiscing about those times we can’t help but compare how carefree everything is in Mexico. What to eat and what to eat next are about all the hustle and bustle you have to worry about when you’re there… and even then, not so much because usually your family will get deeply offended if you don’t accept their offer to eat at their homes...

When my mom turned 60, she met her true love. He’s was in the mariachi band we hired to play for her birthday party. Santa and Ruben have been together now 15 years. My mom just turned 75 on Sunday and Ruben is now 81.
That little love scamp Latino Cupid presents his special Valentine’s Day cards for tough times. As they say around here, Happy Valentimes Day!
He used to annoy the living crap out of me. What would possess anyone to watch this guy? He doesn’t even talk! That was my main reason for disliking Mr. Bean so much. He made stupid faces and acted like an idiot. Was he supposed to be an alien or something? I never watched enough of the show to find out. Instead I’d say “ugh, that stupid Mr. Bean is on. Change it!”...

Few things in the world can put a little two step in your day like a little Mexican music in the morning. Y’all know what time it is!

Mitotero, the only word in that sentence that stood out to me. Mostly in telenovelas and variety shows is where I’ve heard it before since at our house metiche and chismoso were much more common. And apparently there are a couple of different definitions of what exactly mitotero means. El Urban Dictionary says - being up, or getting mixed up, in business or information that has no relationship to you whatsoever. Being up in the mix where you DON’T belong. Prying into the affairs and business of others...
I love Mexican food. And I am a diabetic. So making it healthy, yet yummy is key. But doable! Have had success finding and creating some great dishes. My kids even love preparing and eating these recipes.
Immigrants are often caught between the cultures of their homeland and their adopted country. Mexican American playwright Josefina Lopez is showcasing the struggles of Latino immigrants through film, and through a community theater in Los Angeles.
In the previews and the first episode of the brand new Nuyorican co-produced ‘Q’Viva The Chosen’ Jennifer Lopez proclaims ”This is like being able to really, really go – I am Latina and this is who we are… isn’t it fabulous, isn’t it amazing, doesn’t it bring tears to your eyes and make you want to dance, smile, and stay up all night?” In truth, JLo, La Diva del Bronx, and her now ex-husband Marc Anthony are hoping this new collaboration of theirs will do precisely that for viewers of their new Latin American talent search show on Univision. Or at the very least, have them tune in to watch...
