Ooh, baby baby…Looks like Pe has got a new man: Scarlett Johannson’s old man. Oh, well, I guess she doesn’t care about “sloppy seconds”:
Penélope Cruz and Josh Hartnett shared a romantic dinner on March 21st in which their was hand-holding and even movie star kisses.…the protagonist of “Volver” was surprised last week in the company of the actor in the El Coyote restaurant in L.A., attempting to get a table where they could have dinner protected from the curiosity of the rest of the customers.
When there wasn’t one available, they went to the luxury restaurant The Little Door, where they reserved the blue room. In such a romantic atmosphere, according to In Touch, Pe and Josh had an exquisite evening where hugs, kisses and gestures of tenderless were not lacking.
Penelope goes through men like I go through kleenex. In all honesty though, I wouldn’t say that this is the best she’s chosen so far. I mean, this guy was in 40 Days and 40 Nights.

Chile: Transport crisis leads to mass firings

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Chilean president Michelle Bachelet. In what is being referred to as the first real crisis of her presidency, Bachelet made the difficult decision to fire 4 of her ministers as a response to the mishandling of capital city Santiago’s new transportation integration system, TranSantiago. This, unfortunately, sets back Bachelet’s original plan to “change Chile” by having both genders equally represented in her cabinet, as some of the outgoing ministers are women. And just what has happened with TranSantiago? Well, a debacle that is so bad that it’s even had staunch Bachelet supporters calling for the ousting of ministers:
The Transantiago – a wholesale overhaul of Santiago’s antiquated transport system – began badly, leaving large areas of the city of 6 million, especially working-class neighborhoods, virtually without transportation. Protests broke out daily, with angry people blocking traffic and clashing with police.

Lucha libre and its stars have always been popular in Latino culture and more recently in mainstream U.S. culture. Capitalizing on this and attempting to turn the popularity into attention to environmental problems enters el Hijo Del Santo.
The wrestler will tag team with WildCoast, the U.S.-based nongovernmental organization in its campaign to defeat sea turtle consumption in Mexico, defend protected beaches on the California coast, and save the gray whales in Baja California.
“I began to worry, to become interested, and I was affected very much by the statistics on what is happening,” Hijo del Santo told a news conference that included the presentation of a mock movie trailer announcing “Santo vs. the Enemies of the Sea.”
