Spanish uber-hottie Javier Bardem has been tapped to star in the film version of Gabriel García Márquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera”:
En su rol, Bardem personificará a un romántico joven que pierde a la mujer de sus sueños por culpa de un millonario que logra conquistarla. Y que durante los siguientes 50 años se empecina en lograr estatus y reputación con la esperanza de algún día tenerla.
Bardem will play the starring role in the film, after producers finally convinced Garcia Marquez to allow his book to be adapted for film. Filming starts this year in Central and South American locations.
Bardem is the first Spaniard ever to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, for his portrayal of Cuban exile poet Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls.

Rita Moreno Remembers Electricidad

I didn’t know her name back then when I was a tiny girl in Brooklyn but I remember seeing her and others on The Electric Company and somehow even at that young age I knew she was Puerto Rican and that made me happy. I’m talking about Rita Moreno. This talented Rican with all sorts of awards to her credit such as an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy was recently interviewed by The Detroit News, where she fondly looked back at her days at the Electric Company. She said:
We got to play any role assigned to us and that had nothing to do with ethnic persuasion. Whoever heard at that time of a black person, such as Morgan Freeman, playing Dracula? Or me, a grown Latino woman, playing a horrible little brat with long blond curls named Pandora?.
The Electric Company celebrated its 25th anniversary by releasing a commemorative four-disc DVD set this month. I’m putting this one on my wishlist!

Bochinche from Star Magazine is as reliable as gossip from la vecina when you run into her at the corner bodega. Regardless, we already wrote about how Jennifer Lopez may be pregnant, a rumor which was fed by her and hubby Marc Anthony’s shopping for baby items. Star Magazine is reporting that the couple is not biologically expected a child but that they are looking to adopt. An unnamed source is quoted as saying :
I think J.Lo would love to adopt a Puerto Rican baby, so the child can share its heritage with her and Marc.
