The Advocate, the most widely read gay magazine, has revealed that Lost‘s Latina cast member, Michelle Rodriguez has been bitten by the love bug. In an interview with her co-star in BloodRayne(and apparent partner) Kristanna Loken , we get the scoop:

As we sat downstairs in her Los Angeles home, upcoming Advocate cover girl Kristanna Loken—the smoldering star of Terminator 3—found an adorable way of letting us know that she’s involved with her equally sexy BloodRayne costar Michelle Rodriguez.At first Loken, 27—who has a recurring role as lover of Shane (Katherine Moennig) on Showtime’s The L Word this season—affirmed that she’s in a relationship but wouldn’t specify the name or gender.

Then we mentioned the tantalizing stories Loken has told in past interviews about getting tight with Rodriguez when they filmed BloodRayne in Romania. Here’s what happened next.

What about all the stuff that was said about you and Michelle on the shoot?
[Laughs, then takes a deep breath] There is the $64,000 question. Um…I don’t even know how to answer that.

It seems like you both had a lot of fun partying.
Uh-huh. [Smiles, doesn’t say anything]

OK, your silence says volumes. [Both laugh]
Just don’t look upstairs, OK?

Ooh, OK. You don’t want me to print that?
You can print it. [Laughs again] The very hot housekeeper. No, just joking.

Hmm…hopefully having a gf will help keep Michelle out of jail.

Michelle Rodriguez Gets Her Get out of Jail Early Card

The Latina Lost star was released last Thursday after serving a tiny portion of her 60 day jail sentence for violating her probation by driving under the influence in Hawaii late last year. According to People en Espanol, Michelle Rodriguez actually spent a total of 4 hours and 20 minutes incarcerated. The reason for her release? Overcrowding in the Los Angeles jail system which forced the release of non-violent offenders. Michelle is still required to perform 30 days of community service and will be under probation for 2 years. And where did the star go to celebrate her early release? A bar – of course.

“Lost” Latina jailed

Hit TV show Lost‘s Latina actress Michelle Rodriguez (known to Lost fans as Ana Lucia) got locked up today in Hawaii as a result of an unfortunate borrachera back in November of last year:

Maybe Michelle Rodriguez figured jails in Hawaii are nicer than those on the mainland, or maybe there’s another reason the “Lost” actress took five days in a sunny slammer of Hawaii over community service when a judge found her guilty of drunken driving, according to a recent Reuters report.

Sentenced Wednesday, she went directly to the Oahu Community Correctional Center, where she is expected to serve her sentence. Rodriguez and “Lost” co-star Cynthia Watros — who play castaways from the other side of the island, where a “Lord of the Flies”-like experience left them in worse straits than the rest of the survivors — were arrested in December “on suspicion of driving under the influence.” The bad girls were arrested separately, but within minutes of each other.

The best part? It ain’t the first time…juicy!

Rodriguez has been on the other side of the law, receiving three years probation in 2004 for three traffic offenses in L.A., including hit-and-run and drunken driving.

I always wondered how they got by without alcohol on that island (and without killing Matthew Fox), but apparently they don’t.

SAG Awards : Keep it Moving. No Latinos to See Here (well very few anyway)

Well there were few of us anyway getting awards at last night Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony. Seems that when Latinos act, we are noticed more when we act as part of a team. Michelle Rodriguez and Jorge Garcia are part of the cast of the television hit Lost that won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Eva Longoria and her television husband Ricardo Antonio Chavira are part of the Desperate Housewives cast that won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Español ready for prime-time

Some people have no idea what that button on their remote marked “SAP” does. Network giant ABC knows, and they want Latino viewers to use it, according to the LA Times.

This Fall, ABC will become the first English-language broadcast network to make all its prime-time programming available in the language of Cervantes. While the Spanish subtitles (or dubs) may mark a pop-culture milestone, it’s unclear they make for wise corporate strategy.

Wise or not, it was bound to happen. With the success of ABC shows like Lost and Desperate Housewives in Latin America and Spain, as well as competition in these markets from CBS’ CSI, it’s no shock that networks would want to attempt to replicate that in the US Latino market. I, for one, believe that there are many people who will take advantage of this when it is offered, and not all are monolingual Spanish speakers.
