Natasha Richardson’s Funeral
7:01 pm By la Macha · Celebrities|society · Comments Off
24 Mar 2009I mentioned here that Natasha Richardson had a bad fall and things were not looking good for her. I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that she died and was just buried on Sunday. Natasha’s always classy and incredibly beautiful mother, Vanessa Redgrave, was there.
I love that she wore white to the funeral.
As we all get older, I think it hits people harder when other people our age dies (Natasha is only a bit older than I am). Confronting death is always something we do anyway–but losing loved ones or people you know (as our dearest mala just did), makes it especially difficult.
My heart goes out to Natasha’s family, her two sons, her friends. And to all you who are suffering through loss right now–loving vibes.
Prop 8 Musical
8 Dec 2008I know we’re kinda late on this…but that’s ok. If you’re like me, you refuse to hope on the bandwagon until the bandwagon has pulled out of the station and is thirty miles down the road.
BTW: video is remarkably subversive for a Hollywood deal. Anti-capitalistic interrogation of anti-gay measures? Haven’t seen this sorta subversiveness since the Red Scare.
Cuz La Macha Can’t Take Even One More Second Of Bad News

20 Nov 2008The bad news just keeps piling up higher and higher, and as such, I will share with you my primary coping strategy. I recently discovered the quaint blog, Cisoto Fotos, a blog that caters to the “shirtless male celebrities from all over the world”–with a primary focus on Latinos (prolly not safe for work).
It features photos like this:
Who is Paulo Quevedo? Who the hell knows? All I know is that when I am finished surfing CF’s for the day, I always feel better–no matter how gray, nasty, snowy, and violently cold it is outside. Leather is a great way to stay warm and happy, don’t you think?
Rosie Perez is still awesome
5 Nov 2008Of course this video is a day late and a dollar short–but I wanted to post it anyway because 1. It’s got good facts in it and 2. I didn’t realize Rosie Perez was still so awesome. The last I had heard, she was regulated to Click the Camera on Diego and other D-list jobs because gawd forbid anybody in Hollywood dare to have an accent.
Dancing with the Stars

23 Oct 2008I definitly enjoy imagining this one:
NOTORIOUS Irish skirt-chaser Colin Farrell stripped down to his birthday suit to dance for mega-babe Sala Hayek – to settle her nerves about appearing nude in a flick.
Hayek was worred about losing her clothes in the 2006 film Ask The Dust.
…
“And I wasn’t dating her – we were working together. We were doing a scene where she had to be naked, so I thought, ‘I want to be naked’.”
I want to be naked with Colin and Salma, too!

Salma Hayek=Half Lesbian. Er, Lebanese. Er…

So, either the common people are so unused to a Spanish accent or so unused to Lebanese as a reference point, that when a Mexican born woman of Lebanese descent speaks, she must be outing her queer self.
ITV talk show presenter Eamon Holmes made a gaffe while the actress was present to discuss her campaign to wipe out Tetanus, reports The Sun.
Holmes asked Salma, Hayek doesn’t sound very Mexican”. To which the actress replied that’s because she’s half Lebanese.
He didn’t understand what she said and mistakenly asked: “You’re a lesbian?”
Salma clarified that she was a Lebanese.
Eamon asked her to forgive him and admitted he’d thought she’d said she was “half lesbian”.
You know what is really amusing to me? That even though this dude is talking to a woman with such a thick accent he can’t understand her, he still has the audacity to question her Mexican identity! It’s so much fun to be mestiz@ some times.
Happy Birthday Salmita!

2 Sep 2008Today is Salma Hayek’s birthday! My siren goddess is 42 years beautiful, and promising to only grow more goddess like this year. As a special gift to us all, Salma forwarded me a photo of her new bathing suit. I have to say I’m a fan of stripes, aren’t you?
Happy Birthday Salma!
Pitbull arrested for DUI

No, this isn’t something you’d see on Animal Planet, rapper Pitbull (a.k.a. name Armando Perez) has been arrested for driving under the influence. We hate to follow one DUI story with another, but we guess it’s just that time of year. Reports TMZ:
According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Perez was stopped after flying past a marked cop car in his silver Mercedes, doing 93 mph in a 55 zone. At first, the rapper wouldn’t get out of the car, and when he did, the officer writes that he “could detect a strong breath odor of alcohol over the gum he was chewing,” that Pitbull’s speech was rapid and slurred and his eyes were bloodshot.Results of the sobriety test weren’t pretty either: he couldn’t do the finger-to-nose touch, he was swaying, and basically mangled the “walk and turn” portion of the test, losing his balance, stepping off line and starting without being told to do so.
TMZ also claims that Pitbull allegedly yelled repeatedly to officers “This is a big waist [sic] of time your time papo.”
The rapper was then booked and his bail was set at a modest $1000.
Check out TMZ for the arrest report, video (including Pitbull laughing off the incident) and more developments on this story.

Lupillo Rivera’s ex attacks his wife

Banda star Lupillo Rivera‘s ex wife went ballistic on his current wife earlier this week, striking the latter multiple times in the head and leaving her injured. Police arrived on the scene and promptly arrested María Gorola, the ex wife, but she was later released on $500 bail.
Lupillo’s publicist sent VL the following statement in Spanish:
Lupillo and Mayeli would like to express their deep appreciation for the support received during this difficult week. Neither of them will offer any statements about the incident because of the discretion that a case that is still under investigation demands. In spite of being a public figure, the priority of Lupillo is the weell-being of his wife and children and he understands that any statement that he can make might hurt his children more. We ask everyone that this issue be respected as private and person.If you need more information please contact the Long Beach Police Department.
On the other hand, Lupillo’s ex, the accused, says that the “incident has been manipulated to show the other person as the victim.”
Bored at work? May I suggest…paperdolls

TGIF! Ladies (or gentlemen), if you are bored in your cubicle just waiting for this week to come to an end, why not revert to your childhood and play around with some Latino celeb paperdolls? I just dressed up Shakira and Eva Longoria. Granted, they don’t look much like themselves, but it’s fun anyway.
For the guys, why not take a stab at making over Ronaldinho? He certainly needs it, and his paperdoll, unfortunately, looks strikingly like him. Other Latino celebs include Christina Aguilera, Ronaldo, Salma Hayek, and Penelope Cruz.
All this nuttiness can be found over at StarDolls.com. You can even play around with the stars’ makeup.
My favorite StarDoll happens to be Justin Timberlake. It looks just like him, boxer briefs and all. And I think he needs a makeover given his recent breakup.
