The Hollywood stars were out last night in full force as nearly 1000 actors, entertainment industry executives, film and television studios and supporters attended the 23rd Annual Imagen Awards Gala ceremony at the nearly sold-out Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Actors John Leguizamo, Edward James Olmos, Lupe Ontiveros, Eva La Rue and Cesar Millan, Leonor Varela, Carlos Mencia, Dania Ramirez and many more could be seen gracing the Gala’s Red Carpet as fans, media, and the general public flocked to the hotel’s lobby and ballrooms for a glimpse.

18 awards were presented in a diverse range of entertainment categories in addition to several Imagen Foundation legacy awards: Actor Tony Plana received the Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award; HBO’s In Treatment Producer/Director Rodrigo Garcia received the Creative Achievement Award; and Ligiah Villalobos, executive producer and writer of the feature film La Misma Luna, received the Foundation’s esteemed Norman Lear Writer’s Award.

“This year we saw a massive increase in both the quantity and quality of exceptional submissions across categories,” stated Helen Hernandez, Founder and President of The Imagen Foundation and creator of the pioneering Imagen Awards. “The A-list stars and luminaries this ceremony attracts each year from the world of Latino entertainment is truly reflective of the increased prevalence that we play in Hollywood, mainstream America, and throughout the world.”

The awards included presenters and coverage from LATV, the nation’s first bilingual entertainment/music network distributed via digital multicast, that will broadcast a one-hour special on their channel featuring Red Carpet arrivals and behind-the-scenes exclusives of nominated/winning Latinos from the 2008 Imagen Awards ceremony.

OTHER STORIES IN THIS ISSUE:
David Archuleta on Top
David Archuleta, the first Hispanic contestant to make it as a finalist on American Idol, talks to PEOPLE en Espanol about his newfound fame, how he almost did not make it, and his plans for the future. “I’ve always imagined myself on stage,” says Archuleta, who at 17-years-old, placed second, after David Cook, on the hit reality show series.
Even after millions of votes and his “Archie” fan club, he still remains humble. “I thought nobody liked to hear me sing,” says Archuleta. However, his accomplishments are nothing short of a miracle. About a year and a half ago, Archuleta received medical treatment for paralysis in his vocal cords. “The doctor said there is somebody up there who wants him to sing because, medically speaking, he should not be able to,” says Archuleta’s father.
He’s now gearing up for the American Idols Live! Tour 2008 and will also start recording his first album as a solo artist. “I feel a connection when I hear other people singing. If I can accomplish that, it would make me feel so good,” says Archuleta. (Page 143)

LATINA ACTRESS EILEEN GALINDO MAKES THEATRE DIRECTORIAL DEBUT IN “TRAILERVILLE”

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Latinas ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Entertainment ] [ California ] [ Los Angeles ]
Tags: border, Disney, family, Hollywood, mobile, rodeo, sales, Theater, Ugly Betty

Actress Eileen Galindo is jumping on the other side of the stage, behind the spotlight, to wear a new hat as first time theatrical director.
She will world premiere “Trailerville”, the unique play written by Hannah Logan and produced by Jennifer Cetrone founder of From The Ground Up Theatre Company.

“Trailerville” takes place in the early 1970’s and explores the lives of the residents of the fictional Lakeview Mobile Home Park in the Southern community of DeSales County. It is an, at times hilarious, and often moving, exploration of faith, acceptance, love and triumph that asks the question - Does where we come from make us who we are and, perhaps more importantly, does God live in a trailer?

But perhaps it is the behind the scene story of how “Trailerville” came to be that equally deserves the focus and most certainly, a closer look at. One word can then summarize it all: SERENDIPITY, and one name brings it all together: EILEEN GALINDO.

Eileen is not just anybody. She is someone absolutely worth knowing, and someone everyone wants to know! She’s been called the Oprah Winfrey of her own social circles for her exponentially growing entourage - sort of a “six degree of Galindo” phenomenon. And “Trailerville” is yet another perfect illustration of Eileen’s Midas touch. “I wanted to start directing, maybe readings for some of the theatre companies I had been working for, when Jennifer Cetrone, told me she was looking for a director for her company’s next production”, explains Galindo.
“I said I could probably put her in contact with someone. She then asked who would be crazy enough to want to direct for free. - I said that if someone asked me I’d do it. And that’s how it came about”, Eileen proceeds to say while nonchalantly drifting a smile.

The original plan was to do a published piece. But as the company was going through a transition, it became the perfect opportunity to try launching a world premiere. Galindo had been working in a writer’s group with short story writer, Hannah Logan, on the original Trailerville stories and instantly knew they could be adapted into a play.

“Trailerville” is an ensemble cast with a total of 30 actors altogether part of a double cast - there are no under studies and no specific leads/principals.
Another unique aspect of the play is that the production company is one of the only “bi-coastal” theatre companies in the country, as artistic Director/founder, Jennifer Cetrone opened an east coast chapter of From The Ground Up Theatre Company in March of this year.

Taking on the role of director was certainly not a big stretch for Galindo whose real lifestory is nothing short of “taking charge” episodes. She is one of those rare talents who remains strongly involved on a political level to affect the entertainment industry with regards to minorities and has most definitely become a voice to be reckoned with.

She found herself on the pages of the LA Times not just for an acting review but for her charitable endeavors following the Katrina disaster. Owner of a 5-unit building in Hollywood, California, Eileen generously housed a young couple with their newborn (Katrina evacuees) for three months rent free. She sent out a mass e-mail asking for donations of blankets, food, clothes, etc… and somehow found herself mentioned on Hollywood’s members-only, highly prestigious, elite internet newsletter dubbed “The List”. The outcome was car loads of prêt-a-porter designer brands from the finest boutiques on Rodeo Drive and Robertson Blvd, snazzy furniture, gift cards and boxes of gourmet delicacies.

On the political front, she served as a board member of the Screen Actor’s Guild for three years. At only twenty one years of age, Eileen became instrumental in the non-traditional casting movement that gained momentum in the 1990s, putting herself on the picket lines to encourage Broadway producers to endorse diversity in casting.
As a result, today Broadway is certainly more integrated.

Now Eileen is rightfully reaping the seeds of a well deserved success.
She secured one of the lead starring roles in a series of webisodes called “In the Motherhood”, opposite Leah Remini [”King of Queens”], Chelsea Handler [”Girls Behaving Badly”] and Lainie Kazan; wrapped production in the critically acclaimed theater play Zoot Suit “Romeo &Juliet” adapted and directed by Tony Plana, opposite Ana Ortiz (”Ugly Betty”), and Mauricio Mendoza (”Resurrection Blvd”); and joined the cast of NBC’s “Days of our Lives”, in the role of the nefarious “Beverly Healy”; and secured a voice-over appearance opposite Caroline Rhea and Mitchel Musso in “Phineas and Ferb” the new Disney Channel animated comedy by the creators of “Hey Arnold” and “Sponge Bob Square Pants”.

“Trailerville” opens on June 13 at the legendary Moving Arts Theater in the trendy Los Feliz area in Los Angeles, and runs until July 27 for six consecutive weeks.

‘Garcia Girls’: Low Budget but Lovely - A vivid slice of Mexican-American family life that anyone can connect with, regardless of ethnicity

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Blogante Entertainment ]
Tags: America Ferrera, border, family, Ugly Betty

Before she tried on a pair of magical pants or transformed herself as the award-winning star of “Ugly Betty,” America Ferrera appeared in the indie charmer “How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer.”

The movie’s been kicking around at festivals since 2005 and is just now being released theatrically, but it further reveals Ferrera’s naturally lovely screen presence, something which was first on display in her acclaimed but little-seen 2002 debut “Real Women Have Curves.” Here, she plays the youngest among three generations of women who discover themselves, and their sexuality, during a long, hot summer in an Arizona border town.”*

‘Betty’ spices up its salon, stories and guest stars

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Blogante Entertainment ]
Tags: America Ferrera, television, Ugly Betty

Inside the Suarez home on the Ugly Betty set, things look about the same as before the writers’ strike. Justin (Mark Indelicato) is dressed up as Grease’s Danny Zuko and complaining about having to go to the school dance. Dad Ignacio (Tony Plana) and daughter Hilda (Ana Ortiz) are in foul moods, thanks to colds.

And Betty’s (America Ferrera) her usual chipper self, as is Ferrera, who earlier in the day, with Indelicato, burst into a chorus of Flo Rida and T-Pain’s Low. “We got really into it,” says Indelicato.”*

America Ferrera regains spotlight in ABC drama’s post-strike run

Amid all the shenanigans on ABC’s “Ugly Betty” — Amanda’s search for her father, Christina’s search for money to pay for her estranged husband’s medication, Wilhelmina’s search for a surrogate to carry her late husband’s child — something got a little lost: Betty!

No more, assures the show’s star, America Ferrera, hanging out in her trailer after shooting a scene for the show’s third of five new episodes. The first, airing 7 p.m. Thursday, finds Betty once again the center of attention as she celebrates her 24th birthday. She fantasizes about what her special day will be like, only to be faced with a different reality.”*

America Ferrera couldn’t wait to get out of the Valley.

“The Valley reminds me of my childhood,” says Ferrera, who appears in the just-released film “Under the Same Moon.”"*

Under the Same Moon - E! Reviews

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Hispanic News ] [ Blogante Entertainment ]
Tags: America Ferrera, border, kate del castillo, Ugly Betty

Review in a Hurry: The immigration debate is fierce, feisty and emotional—everything this completely paint-by-numbers drama is not. Under the Same Moon is a heartfelt attempt to personalize the issue, but falls flat under the weight of its own heavy hand.

The Bigger Picture: Carlitos (Adrian Alonso) is a 9-year-old boy who hasn’t seen his mom, Rosario (Kate del Castillo), in four years, when she immigrated illegally to the U.S. to support her son and his sickly grandmother. When grams dies, Carlitos heads to the border (with the help of Ugly Betty herself, America Ferrera), magically slipping through various traps like a Hispanic Harry Potter.”*

The Mexican Phenomenon That Shook the U.S.: La Fea Mas Bella (Televisa’s ‘Ugly Betty’) in Stores Now!

Tags: Colombia, Colombian, DVD, latin america, Mexico, Nielsen, novela, Reno, Spanish-language, telenovela, televisa, television, Ugly Betty, Univision

The distribution partnership of Xenon Pictures and Televisa Home Entertainment continues with the release of the 2007 telenovela phenomenon LA FEA MAS BELLA. The #1-rated telenovela and winner of the 2007 TVyNovelas award for “Novela of the Year” gave Univision the highest ratings it’s ever achieved, drawing an average audience of 7.4 million viewers for the finale, according to Nielsen (comparable to that of its U.S. counterpart, ABC’s UGLY BETTY), making this telenovela one of the most watched Spanish-language programs in U.S. history! The novela, which aired in primetime, outrated many English-language programs on a daily basis. LA FEA MAS BELLA is in stores now.

Based on the renowned Colombian hit “Yo soy Betty la fea”, the format successfully remade in over a dozen countries across the globe-including “Ugly Betty” in the U.S.-LA FEA MAS BELLA was written by Fernando Gaitan, who also penned the acclaimed novelas “Destilando amor” and “Cafe con aroma de mujer”, and currently produces “Ugly Betty”. It was directed by the celebrated actor Sergio Jimenez (”Vivo por Elena”, “Nunca te olvidare”), making LA FEA MAS BELLA his final novela before his untimely passing in 2007.

With a first-rate cast, one of the most diverse and talented ever assembled, LA FEA MAS BELLA stars Angelica Vale (”Sonadoras”, “Amigas y Rivales”) in a performance so riveting that it earned her the TVyNovelas award for “Best Actress”. In fact, Vale was cast specifically for this role and was pulled off her prior hit show, “La Parodia” (Mexico’s equivalent of “Saturday Night Live”), halting its production. The talented actress will be in the U.S. the week of March 10th to commence a promotional tour in support of the DVD release. (For interviews contact press department)

LA FEA MAS BELLA also features magnificent performances by hearthrob Jaime Camil, one of Mexico most respected actors (7 dias, “Mi destino eres tu”), Patricia Navidad (”Suenos y caramelos”, “El Manantial”), the controversial Niurka Marcos (”Salome”), Laisha Wilkins (”Muchachitas”), and the legendary Angelica Maria, among others. The novela also marks the return to television of Latin America’s most revered idol, Jose Jose.

The triple-disc DVD package includes more than 10 hours of content with special features, and is in Spanish with English subtitles. LA FEA MAS BELLA will be available at all major retail and online stores, with a suggested retail price of $24.98. (High resolution cover attached).

Rating Comparison:
ABC’s UGLY BETTY first season finale show: 10.5 million viewers
LA FEA MAS BELLA finale: 7.4 million viewers

SYNOPSIS:
Lety is a sweet, shy, romantic, highly intelligent girl, though not what you’d call attractive. Graduating with honors in economics and a master’s in finance, she confidently enters the job market, never once considering her appearance to be an obstacle. Lety soon discovers that her skills and education are not enough as she is rejected over and over for her plain looks. She finally accepts a secretarial position at a major production company run by the founder’s dashing but womanizing son, Fernando. As the company’s fortunes dwindle and future prospects dim, Lety comes to the rescue, proving how valuable she really is-and falling in love in the process!

Can Lety stand up to the beautiful, catty office gossips and win Fernando’s gratitude, as well as his heart? And what unexpected twist of fate will turn this “ugly duckling” into a lovely swan? That’s what makes this novela one beauty of a story.
