paulinaconcierto180.jpgEarlier this week we told you that La Oreja de Van Gogh (the group that makes me want to cut off my own orejas) was losing its vocalist, Amaia Montero, all but disintegrating the sugary sweet pop group. Enter the not-so-sweet, always controversial Paulina Rubio, who according to Mexican chisme show La Oreja (no relation) might become La Oreja’s (the group) new vocalist for their next album:

Due to the fact that Amaia Montero has left La Oreja de Van Gogh, Paulina Rubio could become the new voice of this successful group, although just for one album, according to a member of the Spanish pop band.

Drummer Haritz Garde told Spanish radio program “La Jungla” that the possibility of “la chica dorada” being the voice La Oreja de Van Gogh on their next album is being negotiated.

Argentine town on the auction block

STG16131.gifInterested in having an Argentine town all to yourself? Well it just so happens that there’s one coming up for auction in province of Cordoba. The reason? Because a local businessman can’t pay his debts, and a judge is ordering the sale to pay them off:

The businessman is the owner of an olive grove of 3000 acres, 20 of which are occupied by the town of Olivares de San Nicolás, located 14 kilometers from the city of Cruz del Eje.

In addition to residences, the town has a chapel, a Justice of the Peace, a police post, a public school, a clinic and several businesses.

The weird thing about all this is that, unlike other cases of towns up for sale in Latin America, this town is populated by 800 people. What happens to them? The judge hasn’t clarified that little detail yet.

The man keeps on keeping the Latino man down. Pobre former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is just trying to earn an honest living speaking about what he knows best.

Actually you have to hand it to the protesters for their creativity. The visual of the “prisoner” in the orange jumpsuit and hood next to Gonzales is priceless and is anyone else missing the irony that Sr. Gonzales is speaking at a series called Accents?
