Castro’s Doctor: “Fidel will live past 140″

What was I thinking when I told you that Fidel Castro was on the verge of death back in January? I feel foolish now, what with all the new photos of him looking spry and his own doctor’s prediction that he will live to see the age of 140:
The leader of the revolution, Fidel Castro, will live past 140 years, according to Cuban doctor, Eugenio Selman, who has been on the presidential medical team for years.Selman, who in 2003 created the “120 year-olds club” with the objective of uniting people of any age and from all over the world who desire “satisfactory longevity”, told journalists that Castro won’t need to join that club because “he’ll live past 140.”
God, I guess Michael Moore was serious about that Cuban healthcare system. If this is true, they can practically raise the dead. I guess all that celebrating in Miami was about 60 years too early.

If there were ever a couple in the world of Latino entertainment that we thought was solid, it was Juanes and his Mrs., Karen. But sadly, after three years together and 2 children, the Colombian superstar and his wife have decided to part ways:
They decided to part after months of trying to resolve their differences, the magazine reports. They will remain friends and are committed to their two daughters together, Paloma, 4, and Luna, 3.For now, the girls will remain with their mother, who is pursuing an acting career in the U.S. Juanes is recording his forthcoming album in America.
Whether the singer’s hiatus last year had anything to do with a struggle for his marriage isn’t clear.
It’s el mundo al revés when Juanes and Karen separate and JLo and Marc Anthony are still together.

Bolivia’s President Evo Morales may be pals with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro but he’s no friend of the U.S.’s best friend, capitalism. At a conference this past Tuesday Morales said:
The transnational corporations always provoke conflicts to accumulate capital, and the accumulation of capital in a few hands is no solution for humanity,And so I have arrived at the conclusion that capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity. Instead of making more weapons and bullets to kill humankind, we must concentrate on producing more food,”

Hugo Chavez : President and Movie Maker?

Maybe it’s not that Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez doesn’t like television but that he like movies. After all Hugo just approved almost $18 million to finance a movie about Toussaint Louverture, the leader of a 1791 slave uprising that helped make Haiti the first black nation to get European colonists out. Making the movie with Venezuela’s dinero is African-American Hollywood star and civil rights activist Danny Glover.
