While many of us in the U.S. are ramping up to tax time, soccer legend Diego Maradona is dealing with some tax issues of his own. Apparently La mano de Dios is having his records reviewed by Argentine tax authorities, who are requesting records from all of the banks with which he has accounts.
This isn’t the first time Maradona has been in trouble with tax authorities:
In 2006, Italian police stripped the star of two Rolex watches during a visit to Naples, in line with a judicial order requiring payment of a reported 31 million Euros (40 million dollars) worth of back taxes in Italy.
Juan Gabriel, Paquita la del Barrio, Paulina Rubio, and now Maradona. What is it with celebrities not paying their taxes? These people are in the better position to pay their taxes than the rest of us, but they still don’t. Why?

Menudo is back! Well, almost. Last year we told you about the new Menudo reality show MTV has dreamed up, and now auditions are about to open so Súbete a mi moto and get down to L.A. for the try-outs!
Casting calls for the new Menudo kick off March 31 near Los Angeles, with the cameras rolling for reality shows on MTV and its bilingual sibling MTV Tr3s.A recording contract with Epic Records is already in place for the reincarnated Latin supergroup once it forms after a nationwide talent search.
MTV Tr3s will document the “Road to Menudo” in a four-part special beginning May 12. MTV will broadcast a 10-episode show around the final five finalists this fall, with a debut album from Epic scheduled to drop in December.

Puerto Rican women have always been at the forefront of activism around issues concerning their patria. Take Lolita Lebron, for example. And even though the U.S. Navy officially left the Puerto Rican island of Vieques in 2003, females there are still bearing the burden of the Navy bombing exercises and fighting to end that burden and get the U.S to take responsibility for its actions.
Milivy Adams Calderon, dead at age 5 of lymphoma.Liza Torres, lost 17 to leukemia.
Hilda Diaz, 80, killed by kidney disease linked to diabetes.
“Every month, two or three more of us die,” says Navedo, one of 100 residents of Vieques, Puerto Rico, who are seeking compensation from the U.S. Navy for health problems they blame on its 60-year use of the island for bombing practice.
Feliz Dia de la Mujer!

There is a saying that women hold up half the earth. Here at VivirLatino, mujeres represent everyday as my fellow editor and I come daily to the page to share our interpretation of Latino life. Today is International Working Women’s Day. Why international? It is celebrated world wide even with its origins dating back to 1909 and the Socialist Party here in the US. So yes, its political. Why working? Created at the height of the industrial revolution, women in the US and globally, especially those working in factories were demanding equal pay for equal work, safe, and fair working conditions. But really, all women are working women, no matter if we work in a factory or raising a family.
Hola!
