William Levy on Dancing With The Stars – by Popular Demand
Here it is.  ¡No me peguen please!  I wasn’t really planning on posting about William Levy’s debut on Dancing With The Stars, last night, but so many of you have been making the request that… well, here are the pictures of the Cuban born “Latin hottie” prepping and dancing his first Cha Cha Cha for ABC.  Apparently he was a big hit as he was blowing up my social media streams last night.  And if you didn’t get a chance to watch William’s first dance, you can catch him on the show again tonight at 9|8c.  Dancing With The Stars airs weekly on Mondays at 8|7c and Tuesdays at 9|8c.

10 Latinos In Entertainment Using Their Cultura to Work It
The other day I wrote about how seemingly times are a changing for Latinos in the entertainment industry.  At least to me, it seems more opportunities could be on the horizon.  Not only for the artists at the forefront of these changes, but also for the millions of us who have been asking for more adequate representation of ourselves and our cultura in the mainstream media for years.  If in fact we are at the cusp of a new era for Latino entertainment and Latinos in entertainment, then these 10 artists are definitely among the many who have been paving the way for these changes.
