I received exciting news today. I am now part of WOMENLIKEUSFOUNDATION.ORG, an organization that caters to women worldwide. This is extremely exciting for me because I’ve always wanted to get involved in such movement. I attended my first meeting today to meet the team and discuss future projects. I was fortunate enough to obtain a writing position for Women like Us Foundation. This is a new chapter I’m starting, willing to put in my two cents to make a difference. Please visit womenlikeusfoundation.org to find out how you can help!
I was honored to visit the HellzBellz offices to conduct a one-on-one interview with the one and only, LANIE ALABANZA a.k.a Miss Lawn. She is the founder of Hellz Bellz clothing. I began writing about Hellz Bellz when I blogged for the LipstickDiaries so it was a great pleasure to finally interview one of the most talented females in the fashion industry. Many thanks to Miss Lawn and the Hellz Bellz team for the wonderful experience. Video Interview coming soon! 🙂

Last year I attended the Sports Spectacular Honoree event to conduct interviews on the red carpet. Many athletes were honored and received awards. This event also puts together an auction to raise money for the Cedars Sinai hospital genetic research program. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be conducting interviews again this year. I can’t wait! Here are the pictures from last year’s event.
I stopped by Nick Cannon’s office to conduct a couple of interviews. I got lucky enough to roam around and check out the recording studio some celebrities use to record their albums. I’m a picture freak, so I took a few pics. Check them out!
Being Latina and breaking into the entertainment industry is not easy. Many of the most admirable women in the industry are Latinas. I truly admire every one of them for their hard work and representing the Latino community. Ever wonder how they got discovered? Every week I’ll pick one and write about how they started their careers. I did a little bit of research and this week I picked…
SOFIA VERGARAÂ
This Colombian hottie is my favorite. She is funny, smart, and beautiful. Sofia was discovered at the age of 17 by a photographer while tanning on a beach in Colombia. Her first acting role was in a Pepsi commercial.
She later transitioned to hosting. She hosted a few shows on Univision, the most recognized hispanic network.  Of course her career doesn’t end there. Everyone wanted more of the charismatic Colombian. She took an acting role on:  Big Trouble (2002), Chasing Papi ( (2003), Soul Plane (2004), Four Brothers (2005), Lords of Dogtown (2005), Meet the Browns (2008), Happy Feet(2011), and The Smurfs (2011). Films are not her only specialties, she also signed a contract with ABC to appear on Hot Properties, The Knights of Prosperity, and the most talked about show, Modern Family.Â
Sofia is also the new face of Diet Pepsi.
Sofia has a 2o-year-old son named Manolo Gonzalez. In interviews, she talks about Manolo always making fun of her heavy accent. It certainly looks like they have a good mother and son relationship.
RANDOM FACTS:Â
-“In 1999 Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú awarded Vergara the Hispanic Woman of the Year Award, commending her leadership skills representing the qualities Latina women have to offer to the world.”
– “In 2007 she was named one of The 25 Most Powerful Hispanic Women in the Entertainment Industry by The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard.”
– ” Studied pre-dentistry at the University of Columbia for three years. Only a few semesters were left to graduate before she moved to another country to pursue her acting/modeling career.”
I love Sofia. I can relate to her in a lot of ways, especially being a Latina :). Stay tuned for next week’s Hottest Latinas in the Entertainment Industry post!
I attended the Zumba Fitness DVD Launch at the Music Box venue. Nikki Hilton was releasing her first Zumba fitness video. Many celebrities attended to do a bit of Zumba workout on stage. The whole performance was hilarious. The best part of the event was meeting and interviewing Nikki Hilton. She asked me how tall I was. I wonder why, lol.
Although you can only see my hand and phone, I’m interviewing Nikki here. She was nice.
I got invited to a soiree at a showroom a few weeks ago. The place was fancy, the food was great, and most importantly, I had amazing company. Pictures coming right up!…
