Happy Cinco De Mayo To 20 Celebs With Mexican Roots: Demi Lovato, Jessica Alba And More

Grab your stereotypical sombrero everybody, it’s Cinco de Mayo! In the American tradition of commercializing obscure holidays that have very little to do with their actual countries of origin, today’s festivities must include a street dance with a mariachi band, many tequila shots and some probably inauthentic Mexican food. How else to commemorate a minor victory over French invaders? Well, we’d also like to celebrate some of the other things our neighbors south of the border have given to the world, say for instance, a number of Hollywood’s hottest. Talented stars like Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, and Mario Lopez are just a few of our favorite Mexican stars. While not all listed celebs are full-blood Mexican — and some on this list may surprise you — we like to think they all have a healthy dose of Latino pride. Take a break from your margarita blender and toast our 20 favorite celebs with Mexican roots. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

George Lopez Apologizes For Pig Crack, Kirstie Alley Snaps Back

Kirstie Alley shrugged off George Lopez‘ so-classy  “Kirstie Alley Is A Pig” bit with a crack about Lopez being a “big, bad, drunk wolf” on her Twitter, but that didn’t mean she was ready to play nice. Lopez apologized soon after (“I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie”), but the actress wasn’t having it, tweeting “I don’t need or want ur apology…I want your kidney dude..on behalf of ur X and all the women uv insulted…give it back.” Yow! Misjudge that!

Alley continued to riff on Lopez allegedly cheating on his kidney-donating wife with a prostitute, noting “I don’t consider ‘I misjudged the joke” an apology. sorta like a husband saying ‘I misjudged putting my d— in a whore’ …sorry hon..hehe.” While we’d like to high-five Kirstie for showing how to really be mean and funny at the same time, the Dancing With The Stars contestant finally let him off the hook. “Take life as lightly as u can and then move on …even u George ….u are forgiven…..:)….” Will George fire back or keep his wolf tail between his legs?

Kirstie Alley Responds To George Lopez’s “Pig” Comment

Yesterday we got really riled up at George Lopez for calling Kirstie Alley a pig post her Dancing With The Stars debut. The not-so-funny “comedian” presented a clip of Alley on his show Lopez Tonight and laughed, “She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show she went to the market, then she had roast beef, and this is her going all the way home,” followed by a shot of the Geico commercial pig. His comments gave us a serious case of the stabbies, because that kind of “humor” just stinks.

We also thought there was no way she would take that sort of bulls—t sitting down and we were right. Only Kirstie responded to George with real humor, and she made sure she got it out there by using Twitter. Kirstie tweeted, “Don’t worry about George’s comments…just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf [sic]…falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs.”  You go, Kirstie! Lopez, take notes.

George Lopez Calls Kirstie Alley A “Pig” After Her DWTS Debut

We knew someone was going to take a cheap shot at Kirstie Alley‘s weight while she participates on Dancing With The Stars, and George Lopez proved us right. And he made sure it was a really low blow. On Lopez Tonight, Georgie reviewed some of the celebrity participants on the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Kendra Wilkinson and Ralph Macchio were included in his little dissertation. But then, in the manner of saving the best for last, came Kirstie.

While barely containing his laughter, Lopez showed a small clip of her dancing and said, “She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show she went to the market, then she had roast beef, and this is her going all the way home.” He then cut to an image of the pig from a Geico commercial. Ha-FREAKIN’-Ha, Lopez. You just called her a pig, and that kind of humor makes you swine. We get it, she’s big. She has a show called Big Life. We just think he took it way too far. Forward to the 2:25 mark to watch him in action. BTW, Kirstie — who is 60 — rocked it on the show. We were surprised because the lady has some serious rhythm! We weren’t the only one’s who thought so, because the judges loved Kirstie’s performance too.

Cameron Diaz Pretty Sure She Bought Weed From Snoop Dogg In High School

We’ve always known Cameron Diaz was a California native, but we didn’t know she grew up in the LBC with Snoop Dogg. Diaz told George Lopez last night that growing up in Long Beach, California, she was a year younger than Snoop and she remembers her high school peer well, because they both were fans of the marijuana cigarettes. Diaz said “We went to high school together…He was very tall and skinny, wore lots of ponytails on his head. And I’m pretty sure I bought weed from him — I had to have.” How is it that someone hasn’t found the “Before They Were Stars” photo of Cameron and Snoop in the Long Beach High parking lot making a stealth transaction?

Diaz has never really been shy about being a pot-lovah and you may remember her public puffing in Hawaii with bestie Drew Barrymore, pictured above. We wonder if she and A-Rod chill out with a post-game doob once in a while, or if the Yankee is too uptight for such antics.

Selena Gomez Loses Voice, Still Manages To Diss The Bieber

60025890

Some Disney stars are in jail (hi Lindsay Lohan), some are going to strip clubs (hi Zac Efron), and some are right on track. That would be newly minted 18-year-old Selena Gomez.

The Ramona and Beezus star was scheduled to appear on Lopez Tonight. Problem is Selena lost her voice that morning. Not that it deterred her in anyway at all. George Lopez got her a dynavox and that’s how she “spoke” to him (you type in a response and it converts the words to automated speech). And it made for a hilarious interview partly because perky Gomez sounded like the female version of Marvin the Paranoid Android.

The other part was that she managed to Dynavocally diss her buddy Justin Bieber! She told Lopez about a performance which they were going to duet in. Biebs frantically got to her backstage and asked her to take her heels off. He didn’t want her taller than him. Selena’s response?  ”[I told him] ‘I’m not going to take off my heels. You’re short, embrace it.”

George Lopez Accused Of Cheating With Text-Wielding Hooker

George Lopez

What is with all these strippers and hookers ratting out celebrities? You’d think these ladies were desperate for money and attention or something. Today’s gristle for the infidelity mill is TBS talk show host and future Conan O’Brien wingman George Lopez, whom the Enquirer accuses of sleeping with “Tiffany,” a professional escort from Tampa Bay (and her friend to boot!). “He wanted a threesome and texted me…” claims Tiff. Too bad they didn’t tape the alleged romp—that’s a sequel to Balls Of Fury someone might actually pay to see.

Lopez, whose wife Ann donated a kidney to the comedian in 2005, has yet to comment on the allegation. We thought about heading down to the grocery and checking out this alleged text concerning Lopez’ quest for a tres-some, but it was bad enough to imagine Tiger Woods doing the stuff on Josyln James‘ “iBone”. Instead, we’ll just say “do you like creamcicles?” and remind everyone: if the money a hooker would get to rat you out is more than the money you gave her for sex, do not be shocked if she goes ahead and does it.

Sandra Doing “Great,” Jesse James “A Broken Man”

Sandra Bullock & Jesse James

Did you know George Lopez and Sandra Bullock are BFFs? The talk show host gave props to Sandy, who was an executive producer on his old sitcom, while attending the unveiling of his wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s in DC. “I went to her house the other day after the Kids’ Choice Awards and saw her and sat with her for a few minutes,” he told People. “She’s great. We love her. We all love her. She is an amazing person.” May we all someday discuss what we did after the Kids’ Choice Awards at the unveiling of our wax replica.

Judging by what his lawyer says, a Jesse James mannequin would have to be smashed into a million pieces to be spiritually accurate. “This whole thing has destroyed Jesse’s entire universe,” Joe Yanny told the AP. “Right now, he’s a broken man.” Yes, the “whole thing” destroyed it—not Jesse’s wandering penis. Admitting the frequent philanderer is in rehab (though he refused to confirm it was for sex), Yanny said without irony “Jesse is in love with Sandra. The single most important thing to Mr. James and the children is that the marriage somehow survive.” According to OK!, Bullock plans to stay in his daughter Sunny’s life whether or not she stays in her husband’s. “One of Jesse’s employees arranged a meeting, which will happen soon at a private residence. Sandy wants to reassure Sunny that she’ll always love her and be there for her.”

Lindsay Lohan Snaps Over George Lopez Joke

Lindsay Lohan & George Lopez

Lindsay Lohan‘s had enough of your irreverent deathwatch, thank you very much. The one-time actress lashed out on Twitter over comments George Lopez made on his show about the white clouds of powder emanating from her heels last weekend. “Thanks for the childish comment regarding baby powder in my shoes to loosen up the leather* don’t you have kids?…U wouldn’t wanna hear that about them, or would you? Act like a grown man, have some respect and dignity for yourself.” Ironically, Lopez had not made one of the countless drug jokes the bizarre image could—and did—inspire, instead suggesting she used baby powder to loosen her shoes. Could she really not think of a worse powder to be associated with?

Undoubtedly smelling a ratings coup, the talk show host offered to stop cracking wise…if Lohan would tell him to in person. “Let’s take this off twitter .. Come on the show .. I’ve met you before and don’t have anything against you,” he tweeted. “You want me to stop talking about you I will .. Come and tell me .. To my face .. I’ll stop !! Respectfully.” We wholly endorse a door-to-door campaign to keep rumors startin’—it’s not like Lindsay has anything better to do.
