Bledel Starring Opposite Katherine Heigl in “Jenny’s Wedding”

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Tom Castaneda

It’s wedding belles for Alexis Bledel…

The 33-year-old half-Argentine American actress and former Gilmore Girls star is starring opposite Katherine Heigl in the upcoming film Jenny’s Wedding.

Heigl stars as Jenny, a closeted lesbian who’s secretly dating her “roommate” Kitty (portrayed by Bledel). But when Jenny decides she wants to get married, she’s forced to come out to her family, who doesn’t take the news too well.

Bledel talked about her character in an interview with lesbian magazine Curve in 2014.

“She doesn’t expect Jenny to come home and say that she wants to get married one day,” she said. “That’s probably the last thing she ever expected her to say. It’s something that she was hesitant to want because she didn’t know if that was something Jenny would be capable of since she hadn’t even told her family she was a lesbian.”

Jenny’s Wedding hits theaters on July 31 and VOD on August 1.

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Tom Castaneda

Naya Rivera didn’t pick up The Actor at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, but she did earn best-dressed Latina honors…

The 26-year-old half-Puerto Rican actress/singer turned heads on the red carpet at the Shrine Exposition Center at Sunday’s SAG Awards.

Rivera, nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series along with her Glee co-stars, rocked a Donna Karan Atelier black gown with a sheer exposed inset that not only showcased her ample cleavage, but added geometric appeal to her neckline with its intricately designed corset.

Rivera completed her look with Stuart Weitzman shoes, Neil Lane jewels and a Judith Leiber clutch.

But Rivera wasn’t the only Latina wearing a Donna Karan Atelier gown…

Sofia Vergara, who beat out Rivera and her castmates to claim her third consecutive SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series with her Modern Family co-stars, proudly displayed her curves in a skin-tight Donna Karan Atelier white lamé gown.

Vergara, who just received a pilot order for her Killer Women project from ABC, finished off her show-stopping look with white platforms and a million dollars worth of Neil Lane jewels.

Morena Baccarin, nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series with her Homeland co-stars, resembled a proud peacock in her Basil Soda dress, which featured a feather-like print and a leg-revealing slit. The 33-year-old Brazilian American actress completed her look with giant Jacob & Co. earrings.

Mad Men’s Alexis Bledel left red carpet watchers green with envy at the SAG Awards. The 31-year-old Argentinean and Mexican American actress, best known for her starring role on Gilmore Girls, rocked an emerald green Rena Lange pleated dress that helped highlight her eyes.

Bledel, who walked the red carpet with her boyfriend and Mad Men co-star Vincent Kartheiser, topped off her looks with House of Lavande vintage jewels and an Amanda Pearl clutch.

Lea Michele proved to be pretty in pink on the red carpet. The 26-year-old half-Spanish actress, nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series along with her Glee co-stars, wore a strapless fuchsia Valentino dress, Jennifer Meyer jewelry, Jimmy Choo shoes and Fendi bag.

Rodriguez to Make a “Sin City” Sequel

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Robert Rodriguez is heading back to Sin City…

The 43-year-old Mexican-American filmmaker and Frank Miller have announced plans to film a sequel to their 2005 cult classic Sin City, a film that explores the dark and miserable town, Basin City, and tells the story of three different people, all caught up in violent corruption.

Entitled Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, the upcoming film was developed by Miller from his graphic novel of the same name, and scripted by Miller and William Monahan. The film will be distributed once again by Dimension Films.

“Audiences have been clamoring for Sin City 2 with Robert and Frank for a long time and trust me, it will be worth the wait,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company. “This will be my 11th collaboration with Robert in 16 years and he’s become a great friend. I look forward to continuing our long lasting relationship and partnering on more projects in the future.”

Production is slated to begin this summer at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas with casting starting next week. According to the official release, much of the film’s original cast is expected to return— though the release didn’t specify if the characters who died in the first film would be popping up again.

The original film—which proved to be a landmark step forward in filmmaking, breaking ground with immersive green screen to create its iconic stylish look included appearances by some of today’s hottest Latino stars, including Jessica Alba, Alexis Bledel, Rosario Dawson and Benicio del Toro.

Sin City, released on April 1, 2005, grossed over $160 million.
