Jennifer Lopez Gives Birth to Twins
Congratulations to Yeni and Marky. They are parents to a boy and girl born in a Long Island Hospital.
Nelly Furtado in Spanish
Nelly Furtado delighted fans by performing in Spanish at the Viña del Mar Festival in Chile. Before embarking in South America, Nelly made had already conveyed her appreciation for the culture.
“I definitely feel Hispanic, I feel Latina. I have a very very strong connection with my culture. Singing in Spanish and singing in Portuguese is an extension of my love for my culture.”
Funny that her comments sound less condescending than when La Beyonce expressed similar sentimientos.
Eva Longoria 'badly dressed'
E.Lo might be the apple of Tony Parker’s eyes, but she’s not getting any carino from animal rights organization PETA. The organization placed her on their list of 2008 worst-dressed celebrities, saying:
“Eva Longoria is short on compassion. In her trashy furs, she looks like the streetwalker of Wisteria Lane. Eva is one “desperate housewife” in need of a quickie divorce - from her stylist.”
Christina Aguilera and Child
Looks like People Magazine won the bidding war for first pics of ChrissyAgui’s creatura. Max looks so cute. He reminds me of those little babies in those Anne Geddes book in the album and picture frame aisle at Ross. A month old and counting, Maxito is certainly bringing out the motherly side of ChrissyAgui:“I can’t stop staring at him, studying him. You can’t believe you created this. Me and my husband couldn’t be happier.”
International stardom, platinum-selling CDs and hot DVDs aside, ChrissyAgui is convinced that Max is her most wonderful accomplishment...
Juanes Has a Superstitious Fashion Sense
Know the term metrosexual? Looks like Juanes is one of those. The Columbian gave the UK’s The Independent fashion columnist Charlotte Philby a little insight into his fashion sense:
“How you look in something depends on your attitude. I started to choose my own clothes when I was a teenager. I discovered that I had an independent mind and was able to build my own style, which at the time came with the music I was listening to.”
And get this: Juanes has lucky boots: “Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve worn the same style of black leather boots; they help me feel safe when I walk. They protect me both literally and metaphorically against all the dangers in life. When you begin to explore the world, you find many trials and tricks that you must be wary of. I travel so much that it’s important not to lose your way, spiritually. I feel this style of shoe can guide me when the road ahead is unclear.”
The Hissiper comments: "Gee, Juanesito, I hope you rotate them and don’t get attached to any particular one. With the humid weather in Columbia, I can imagine all the mildew that’s accrued in Juanesito’s boots. Remember to rotate your boots stash, querido."
