The 13-episode program, which airs Sunday nights, features interviews with prominent men in sports, entertainment and culture.

“I am an observer of life,” said Gonzalez. “This project has to do with me, with my preoccupations.”

But if you’re looking to see a battle of the sexes during Gonzalez’s intimate chats, you’ll be disappointed.

“The conversations are wonderful and entertaining. I’m not looking for a fight, but an encounter. With this type of interview one can know the protagonist of each program better, and from a more human perspective,” says Gonzalez, who has starred in telenovelas, including Amas de casa desesperadas and Mujeres asesinas.

Scheduled guests on ¿Que piensan los hombres? include actors Jencarlos Canela and Osvaldo Rios, Latin music superstar Juanes and soccer stars Diego Forlan and Luis “El Matador” Hernandez.

“They are successful, but they are also people who suffer, who are passionate, who believe inside,” Gonzalez said of the men she interviewed for her program.

He recently joined voices with Jencarlos Canela to release a Spanish version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”… And, now Jose Feliciano is preparing to tackle the music of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

The 66-year-old Puerto Rican singer-songwriter will release an entire album dedicated to Elvis Presley.

In an interview with Efe, the legendary “Feliz Navidad” singer decided to record the new album because he’d followed Presley’s music since he was 11, while living in New York after his parents moved there from Lares, Puerto Rico.

Feliciano, who says he’s recorded eight of the 12 songs on the album in the studio at his home, says he also identified with Presley because both were born in poverty.

While living in the Big Apple, Feliciano became an Elvis fan without forgetting his roots. He still loved the music of Puerto Rican artists like Tito Rodriguez, Davilita, Felipe Rodriguez and Johnny Albino.

“I have a tremendous musical education because I listened to all of those together,” said Feliciano, who recently performed at the celebration of Presley’s birth in Memphis.

In addition, Feliciano said he was “happy” to receive the San Sebastian National Prize this past Thursday in Old San Juan “for his musical career on the world level for more than five decades.”

Everyone has listened to the music of this talented man who is considered a musical legend. I hope the public will enjoy it as much as we have.”
