So VivirLatino couldn’t attend (as in couldn’t afford) The Latino Inaugural Gala. Pero just in case you were wondering what the famosos who attended are thinking about the soon to be President Obama (that feels nice to write), here you go.

See Shakira after the jump.

Tony Plana, who plays Betty’s father in the television series “Ugly Betty,” said he was ecstatic about President-elect Barack Obama’s victory. He said an Obama administration could improve the lives of all minorities.

But he also said Hispanics deserved a better spot on the inaugural festivities list.

“It’s a concern this event tonight is not an official event of the administration. It’s a little sad for me Latinos had to organize their own event,” Plana said. He said he hoped it did not mean Hispanics would be relegated to a back seat. The event was organized by the National Council of La Raza and other Hispanic organizations.
