Sofia Vergara: a stunning beauty Colombian actress

Sofía Margarita Vergara Vergara (born July 10, 1972) is a Colombian actress, television host, model, and entrepreneur.

Vergara had been widely known for co-hosting two TV shows for Univisión in the late 1990s. Her TV career opened up for her a window of exposure to North American audiences prior to her first notable acting job in English, the 2003 film Chasing Papi. Subsequently, she appeared in films, including two Tyler Perry films, Meet the Browns (2008) and Madea Goes to Jail (2009), receiving an ALMA Award nomination for the latter.

Sofia Vergara is a picture of bronze beauty whose radiant personality and unwavering devotion to family endeared her to Univision viewers when she debuted as host the popular 1995 travel series Fuera de Serie, model/actress Sofía Vergara's crossover appeal was cemented when a memorable performance on the FOX Network's 1995 American Comedy Awards launched her almost instantaneously into Hollywood stardom. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, to an extended, musically inclined family that included five brothers and sisters in addition to many cousins, quiet and studious Vergara attended the private bilingual school Marymount while dreaming of a future career in dentistry. At the age of 18, Vergara married the man who had been her childhood sweetheart since age eleven, and soon thereafter the young couple gave birth to a baby boy. Thanks to years of hard work and intense studies it appeared as if young Vergara was at last close to realizing her childhood dream of becoming a dentist, though an innocent walk on the beach proved that fate had other things in store for the career-minded beauty. Glimpsed by a well-known photographer as she strolled the shore in her native Colombia, Vergara was soon stepping in front of the cameras to appear in a Pepsi commercial that soon made her a recognizable face across the country.

A move to Bogotá two years later found Vergara making a name for herself on the runway as well as the small screen, and soon the rising starlet's popularity would spread stateside when she accepted an offer to host the globetrotting Univision series Fuera de serie. Her undeniable charm even more infectious on screen than it was in the glossy pages of high fashion magazines, Vergara was an instant hit and soon branched out as host of the weekly prime-time variety-show A Que No Te Atreves. When a brief but memorable performance at the 1995 American Comedy Awards found her appeal reaching even further beyond Spanish-speaking audiences and into the American mainstream, it didn't take long for Hollywood to come calling. In 2002, many American filmgoers got their first look at the up-and-coming actress when Vergara appeared in a supporting role in director Barry Sonnenfeld's ill-fated comedy Big Trouble. Pushed back from its original release date of 2001 due in large to sensitivities resulting from a plot involving a bomb and an airplane, Big Trouble died quickly at the box office before hastily being relegated to life on the home-video market. Though her following two films, Chasing Papi and The 24th Day, didn't fare much better at the box office, Vergara's winning performance in the high-flying 2004 comedy Soul Plane did well in showcasing both her remarkable beauty and impeccable comic timing. Her subsequent role in the animated IMAX film Robots found her stepping behind the cameras for her first voice-over role, though audiences could rest assured that in 2005 Vergara would be back in front of the lens not only in director Catherine Hardwicke's eagerly anticipated Dogtown and Z-Boys companion piece The Lords of Dogtown but the comedies Pledge This! and Grilled as well.

Jennifer Lopez Vanity Fair Pic Troubled Marc Anthony

So, was this one of the reasons Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split up??

E! News reports that Marc was not pleased with this photo that Jen took with famed photographer Mario Testino.

The pic shows Jen baring her body only covered slightly by a white fur coat.

Marc supposedly got upset with this but Jen defended the pose and pic, especially because it was going to put her back in the pages of Vanity Fair…a mag she hadn’t been featured on in a while.

After the shoot, the separation was announced and the magazine made some quick changes so Jen could take the cover and the divorce be in the center spotlight.

What do you think of the photo???

Galilea Montijo: a beautiful Mexican actress

Galilea Montijo was born on June 5, 1973, in Guadalajara, Mexico. Little is known about her childhood, though one can surmise that -- given her stunning beauty and extroverted nature -- she's been drawing attention her entire life. In 1993, at the age of 20, Galilea took her first steps toward fame by entering a prestigious beauty competition called La Chica TV. Her victory there all but assured her a career within the world of Mexican soap operas. Galilea made her television debut on such a program in 1995 with a role on El Premio mayor.

Galilea spent the next several years appearing on a series of popular Mexican soaps, including Azul (1996), Tu y yo (1996) and Tres mujeres (1999). In 1999, Galilea made her film debut with a small role opposite recent Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza in the comedy La Paloma de Marsella. Galilea’s fame continued to rise during that time, and it wasn’t long before she found herself pursued by various production companies and television stations. She was subsequently hired as a host on Mexico’s Ritmoson Latino television network and it wasn’t long before Galilea had established herself as one of the station’s most popular anchors.

Galilea achieved the sort of fame that she had always dreamed of, and it wasn’t long before the up-and-coming television personality was invited to appear on Mexico’s adaptation of Big Brother in 2002. After emerging victorious from the competition, Galilea decided to try her luck at another locally shot reality program. Bailando por un sueño is essentially Mexico’s answer to Dancing with the Stars, as several established celebrities are paired with professional dancers to compete until only one couple remains. Galilea didn’t win the competition, though she did manage to make an indelible impression on viewers with her sultry dancing style.

2006 proved to be an especially fortuitous year for Galilea, as the television personality was invited to appear on the Latin Grammy Awards as a presenter alongside such celebrities as Sofia Vergara, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Jimmy Smits. She also took on a starring role on the telenovela La Verdad oculta, which unsurprisingly premiered to instant success in her native homeland of Mexico.

But Galilea’s charmed life took a turn for the worse in early 2007 after she found herself embroiled in a sex-tape scandal. Galilea immediately denied that it was her on the tape and indeed, it was eventually revealed that it was not Galilea on the tape, but a porn star named Monique Fuentes.
