ALMAs Take Over Wysteria Lane

Eva Longoria-Parker and Christian de la Fuente

Wysteria Lane got some Latin flavor yesterday. I’m sure y’all remember that I mentioned Eva was going to be hosting and executive producing the ALMAs again this year. Usually, when an awards ceremony is having their nominations press conference, they hold it an auditorium or some other similar place. Not the ALMAs! Yesterday, Eva and others involved in the show set up shop right on Wysteria Lane to fill the press in on what they’ve got planned this year. Here is a picture from the event. Eva is standing with actor Christian de la Fuente.

So, this is what we know: as mentioned, Eva is host and the show will take place on August 17th at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and will air on September 12th from 8Pm to 10 PM eastern time on ABC. Besides Eva, The Black Eyed Peas, America Ferrera, Carlos Mencia, Jessica Alba and more are confirmed to be taking part in the show. They also plan to give special awards to Linda Ronstandt, Shakira and Narciso Rodriquez. From the looks of that line-up, this is going to be one hot show. I’m looking forward to seeing how Eva does as well as seeing the Black Eyed Peas and Shakira.

The ALMA awards will also kickstart the annual Hispanic Heritage Month, where the culture and contributions of the Latin Community are recognized. ALMA stands for the American Latino Media Arts Awards and means “soul” or “spirit” in Spanish. Well, that’s about it for now… are you going to be tuning in on the 17th to see our Gabby in action? Looking forward to anything specific in the show? Sound off in the comments, I’d love to know! Til next time, take care!
