Copa Libertadores : Cry Me a River (Plate)

Many Latinas were watching Premio Lo Nuestro last night but not this Latina. Last night I settled with a glass of wine as the only woman in a room full of screaming male futbol fanatics to watch Colo Colo vs River Plate in the Copa Libertadores. The campeones de Chile, Colo Colo, were beat 2-1 by Argentina’s River Plate. The first goal via River’s Leonardo Ponzio came right as half-time began. The goal was protested by many of Colo’s players who say the whistle to restart play was never blown (I sure didn’t see or hear it blow). The second River goal came via Ernesto Farias in the second half of the game.
Bardem joins Penelope in new Allen bilingual pic

Spanish hottie Javier Bardem has been cast alongside Penelope Cruz in the upcoming bilingual Woody Allen film we told you about recently. Who cares what the film is about…Woody Allen is directing and Bardem is starring…I’m sold!
Bardem and Pe will meet up with Woody in Barcelona, Spain, for this film. This will be the only the second time in Woody Allen’s 30-year career that he will film outside of New York City, the first being when he shot Match Point (excellent film) in London.
Let’s hope that with the help of Woody Allen (and Penelope, who is Hollywood’s darling at the moment) Javier can get the attention he deserves. After being cheated by the Hollywood machine at the Oscars back in 2000 for his stellar performance portraying Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls (they chose Russell! Crowe!), I think Javi’s been less than interested in Tinseltown, but I’d love to see him get the international acclaim that is due him. Looks aside, in my opinion, he’s one of the best actors in the world these days.

Latino superblogger Perez Hilton no tiene pelos en la lengua. He pretty much says whatever is on his mind — much to the dismay of many a Hollywood celeb — and indeed that has been the main draw to his blog, PerezHilton.com. Yahoo! News reports that a recent post which included a topless photo of Jennifer Aniston is now at the center of a lawsuit filed by Aniston’s studio against Perez:
Universal City Studios Productions LLLP filed the U.S. District Court copyright infringement suit Tuesday claiming Mario Lavandeira, who operates the www.perezhilton.com Internet site posted the stolen image.The Aniston image was allegedly “misappropriated and illegally copied” during production or post-production of the 2006 romantic comedy hit The Break-Up, starring the actress and Vince Vaughn, the suit said.
More Immigrant Sweeps Across the Country

Late last year there were a series of immigration raids across the country targeting the meat packing industry. And while in downtown NYC yesterday, NYU Republicans played “find the illegal alien” amidst protests, in Midtown Manhattan the government was seeking out undocumented workers, except they weren’t playing.
In a sweep across 17 states and the District of Columbia, immigration officials descended on popular eateries like Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood, arrested almost 200 illegal immigrants working for a janitorial company and filed criminal charges against its top three officials.
