Ay Dios Mio!

I have obviously have no idea if this is even true or not, but of course I'm posting it anyway. Reports claim that Salma Hayek will not baptize her baby girl, Valentina. This seems to be going against her very religious parents' wishes. This along with claims that she may not even marry her baby's daddy, but just have the party instead.

Salma Hayek in Chicago next week for Pampers

"Salma Hayek will be in Chicago to kick off the North American campaign of the Pampers diapers "One Pack = One Vaccine" program, an initiative partnering with UNICEF that aims to eliminate the condition of maternal and neonatal tetanus in developing nations."

Hopefully she takes baby Valentina. That would be really cute! But I'm sure she doesn't want all that publicity focused on her daughter. We'll see what happens.

Your J. Lo news for today


Oh wait, she doesn't like to be called that anymore. Anyway, I'm sure you've seen this by now, but here they are. I tried to go pick up a copy to at least read it and look at the pictures, but I couldn't find any at 2 different stores I was at! I will have to look harder I guess.

No Boys Allowed

Mexico City now has women only buses. This is a sigh of relief for many that are tired of being harassed or groped.

"The women-only bus service, launched in January, is the city's answer to a long-standing complaint among Mexican women that in the sardine-can confines of buses and subways, some men simply will not keep their hands to themselves."

At least for me, and knowing what I know about the city, it would definitely make me feel much better.

Bagpipers in Mexico City?

I had no idea this happened but I guess every month in Mexico City bagpipers honor the Irish who fought for Mexico by going through a plaza in downtown Mexico City.

"The ceremony honors the St. Patrick Battalion, a group of 600 Irish-American soldiers who switched sides to fight for Mexico in the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War. On St. Patrick's Day, many Mexicans will raise a glass to commemorate the "Irish martyrs" who are regarded as heroes in a war that still arouses passions here."

Dragon Tales

Pretty funny that people are saying that J. Lo's twins were named after the Dragon Tales characters. This was first pointed out to me by ChiTown Girl. Now here are some stories about it!

"His" Panic

In Geraldo Rivera's new book, he examines the growth of the Hispanic population in the United States. The book is titled, "His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S."

"The journalist tackles the highly divisive issue of illegal immigration, specifically focusing on Hispanics. Rivera references his parents' struggle to assimilate into American culture, as well as other ethnic Americans who try to do the same."
