Posted on November 2, 2015 by Tom Castaneda

There’s no doubt celebrities know how to go all out for All Hallows‘ Eve. And some don’t hold back at all.

Here’s a look at the most spook-tacular Halloween costumes by Hispanic celebrities this year, including this year’s best-dressed Latina Jennifer Lopez.

The 46-year-old Puerto Rican singer/actress and American Idol judge, who is prepping for her Las Vegas residency, was nothing short of drop dead gorgeous as a self-described “haute couture skeleton.”

Lopez and her boyfriend Casper Smart attended Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween bash in New York City.

She may say she’s “trouble,” according to her Instagram account, but Gina Rodriguez looked like she’d found trouble in her costume.

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican actress and Jane the Virgin star dressed up as a broken china doll.

It may be Halloween, but it was more like The Nightmare Before Christmas for Nicole Richie.

It appears one costume wasn’t enough for Alessandra Ambrosio…

The 34-year-old Brazilian supermodel and Victoria’s Secret Angel traded in her wings for horns as she donned a racy red devil costume to host her Heaven And Hell party in Los Angeles.

But Ambrosio didn’t just flaunt her supermodel figure and set temperatures soaring in her red costume, she also proved to be one hot momma.

She shot a selfie of herself dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, with her son dressed as an adorable fire house dalmatian.

She may be the head of The Honest Company, but Jessica Alba is claiming she invented Post-Its.

The 34-year-old half-Mexican American actress and her BFF Kelly Sawyer wore matching costumes worn by the characters on the poster for the classic chick flick Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

Fergie proved to be the cat’s meow in her Halloween costume.

The 40-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member and her actor-husband were a match made in heaven as Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld and his beloved cat Chopette at the Casamigos Tequila Halloween party in Los Angeles Dascha Polanco.

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Tom Castaneda

Carlos Leal has landed a wrong project…

Entitled “The Wrong Stuff,” the project centers on an accordian league pitcher Bill “Spaceman” Lee.

Adapted from the memoir by the 1980s-set the film chronicles the downward spiral of Lee (Josh Duhamel), a hot-tempered, self-serving madman unable to see himself as anything other than a baseball player. Ave Zoli will play Mary Lou, Lee’s long-suffering wife who fights for custody of their kids. Leal is set as Gino Lapue, the French-Canadian manager for the Longeuil Senators where Joe (Ernie Hudson) plays and who is hoping that Lee will join the team.

Leal, who co-starred on European series The Team and Der Bestatter, is repped by Creative Partners Group and Brio Entertainment in the U.S. and A6 Cinema in Spain.

Fergie Reportedly Working on New Solo Album, the Follow-Up to Her Hit Effort “The Dutchess”

It looks like Fergie’s ready to go solo again…

The 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member hasn’t released a solo album in a little more than eight years, but she may finally be returning to the scene with a sequel to her hit album The Dutchess.

Fergie is reportedly working on new music for a sophomore album, as she alluded to during a stop by Chelsea Lately last month, according to Billboard. According to a source, there’s a “good bet” that the album will finally be released in 2015, with a new single possibly coming out before the end of this year.

Billboard has also learned that Mike WiLL Made-It is involved with Fergie’s next full-length studio effort. The hip-hop maestro executive-produced Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz album, and has helmed songs by Rihanna, Ciara and 2 Chainz, among many others.

The Dutchess, released in September 2006, Spawned six hits for Ferguson. It all began with “London Bridge“, then “Fergalicious“, “Glamorous“, “Big Girls Don’t Cry“, “Clumsy” and “Finally.” In December 2007, Blender selected her as the magazine’s woman of the year following her success as a solo artist.

Since The Dutchess’ release, Fergie married actor Josh Duhamel, re-joined the Black Eyed Peas for the group’s blockbuster 2009 album The E.N.D. and gave birth to her first son in 2013. Fergie most recently popped up on “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got),” from last year’s Great Gatsby soundtrack.
