Latin Gossip

How scary!

Spain’s Queen Sofia was traveling from one official event to another in a helicopter when suddenly it had a midair breakdown!

The chopper was forced to do an emergency landing and thankfully everyone came out uninjured from the incident.

The queen is such a trooper she attended the event she was scheduled to be at as if nothing happened.

Roselyn Sanchez and Alejandro Chaban were both set to act in the new pilot for ABC’s Cutthroat, but out of nowhere they were both told that they were being let go.

Hey, that happens in Hollywood and it’s all part of the actor’s life.

Except, that it so happens that Roselyn was let go because of her accent!

We looked into this and discovered that Roselyn was set to play a character named Nina Cabrera. How much more Latina can you get than that? Wouldn’t a little accent help??

Plus, is Roselyn’s accent even that thick?

Is that why Alejandro was cut too?? He was supposed to play someone named Ivan. LATINO!

Is this a case of discrimination? Aren’t we supposed to be diversifying television?

Perhaps they should cast Jennifer Aniston and Zac Efron instead!!

Univision announced the special presentation of Somos el Mundo…Voz y Alma, a behind-the-scenes documentary that details the production of the hit single Somos El Mundo.

Ready for some impressive stats??

The historic recording has broken records by becoming the #1 most-downloaded song and video on iTunes Latin music charts since its release, the first Spanish-language song to be among the top five most-downloaded videos on the English-language video charts on iTunes, and was the 10th most-watched video last week on YouTube with over 1.2 million views.

The commercial-free documentary, which airs this Sunday at 2pm, follows Emilio Estefan as he takes on the challenge of producing and bringing together some of the most popular Latin music icons today in this unprecedented gesture of solidarity with the Haitian community.

We also just found out that a portion of the money raised from Somos El Mundo will be donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Chile!

Agencia Reforma reports that Fher’s mother passed away of cancer on March 10th.

The singer of Mana has put the recording of the new album on hold to grieve.

Our condolences to Fher and his family. Sad.

Lucia Mendez’s brother has passed away after a long battle with an undisclosed illness.

As hard as this is, Lucia doesn’t want her mother finding out since she is hospitalized herself.

Tough time for Lucia. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
