Eva Longoria: Lalaland’s new tourism ambassador

7:29 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Celebrities|Los Angeles|Marketing · Comments Off

18 Nov 2005

evalongoria1.jpgI thought Eva Longoria was a proud Texican…or at least that’s what she’s always playing up in interviews. I thought she hated Hollywood. Didn’t she say

“I’m just a Texan through and through. I want to move back to Texas as soon as I’m done with the show, whenever that is. You know, I’m never followed by paparazzi in San Antonio.”

But wave some dinero in her face and give her a chance to plug her latest venture and she’ll say this:

“It doesn’t get better than driving down Sunset Boulevard and catching a comedy show like ‘Hot Tamales Live’” she says, referring to the all-female comedy variety show she co-produces at the Comedy Store, located on the Sunset Strip.

Longoria says, “Los Angeles is a great place to live, work and play. I am excited to be part of an effort to promote LA to visitors from around the world.”

Big Tobacco out to target young Latinos

smokey.gifNo, I’m not a pious ex-smoker. I still take a puff on occasion, especially when I’m outside of the U.S., where smoking isn’t villified as much. But like beer companies sponsoring scholarship programs for Latino youth (and I love beer, by the way), I’m not cool with tobacco companies targeting kids. Activists aren’t either:

The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is urging state attorneys general to investigate R.J. Reynolds Tobacco’s new “Kool be true” campaign and other industry promotional practices they say are covertly aimed at Hispanic youths.
