Residente is no stranger to making controversial art. On Wednesday, the Puerto Rican rap star released his intensely graphic short film for “Quiero Ser Baladista,” or “I Want to Be a Ballad Singer,” in which he calls out the commercialism of the Latin music industry with the help of Ricky Martin.
The video opens with the rapper being shot in an elevator as his killer places a hat with his signature [R] logo back on his head. Somber violin plays in the background, and quickly, the rapper continues dropping bars even...

Growing up in a part of Texas he calls “Selena country,” Jaime Dávila inevitably became a lifelong fan of the singer-songwriter. Thus, the Campanario Entertainment president’s role as exec producer of a new series about Selena’s life, family and career has been a long time coming.
But Selena’s life is not a story untold. Indeed, 25 years after her death, it remains a subject of not just enduring but growing fascination. To do it justice, and give fans something new, Dávila wanted to focus on Selena’s rise and the world she came up in.
To “get the true story and to really understand the emotions of what it took,” Dávila says, the show takes a hyper linear approach, showing Selena’s birth and the first moments when her father recognized her music ability: “Baby Yoda, eat your heart out; we have baby Selena.”

Raúl De Molina has been on U.S. television for nearly three decades. In that time, he’s seen a lot. He has worked for both Telemundo and Univision. He has watched as the Spanish-language U.S. broadcast audience grew in size and in importance to advertisers. And as the host of daytime“El Gordo y la Flaca,” which he hosts with Lili Estafan since 1998, he has embraced his reputation as the self-described “Latino Regis” Philbin.
De Molina’s nuanced understanding of Latinos in the U.S. meant that, on Tuesday night, he was unsurprised to see gains for President Donald Trump in Miami, home of a large Cuban American community, and also for Democrats in Texas with its large Mexican American population.
“The Cubans, the Venezuelans and the Colombians here in Miami voted for Donald Trump. That is different from how the Mexicans voted in Los Angeles and in Texas and in New York,...

Miami — Televisa plans to launch a linear Univision-branded channel across Latin America later this year.
Televisa, the Mexican media institution, is a major investor in the U.S. Spanish-language network. The ad-supported Univision channel will be offered as a pay TV entry, not streaming, and will be available at the outset in 17 Latin American markets though notably not in Brazil.
The channel will feature a mix of Univision original series as well as a selection of productions from Televisa. Televisa will handle distribution and advertising sales. The launch date is pegged by Televisa as “early 2020.”
The program lineup will include daily staples on the U.S. network such as Univision’s network morning show “Despierta America” and entertainment gossip show “El Gordo y La Flaca” and newsmagazine “Primer Impacto.”
Televisa said the goal is to boost the Univision brand outside the U.S. as well as to signal Televisa’s...

Univision and Televisa, two top Hispanic media companies, are teaming up to bring a Univision-branded linear channel to 17 Latin American markets in the coming weeks.
The ad-supported, 24-hour pay-tv channel will be initially distributed across the region, except in Brazil, “in early 2020,” an announcement said Tuesday. Televisa will operate it and also handle distribution and ad sales. Univision and Televisa will collaborate on programming and marketing for the channel.
The linear venture deepens existing ties between the two entities. For decades, Univision has aired a broad portfolio of programs produced by Televisa. In 2017, the two merged their programming operations in a bid to shore up ratings declines brought on by stiffer competition from rival Telemundo and also streaming services like Netflix, which have ramped up internationally.
As it prepares for the Latin America launch, Univision faces an uncertain road ahead. Last July, it confirmed it had begun formally exploring strategic options,...

Francisca Lachapel and Clarissa Molina have a lot in common: They’re both Dominican, television hosts, and beauty queens who won their crowns on the reality show Nuestra Belleza Latina. Now, the duo, good friends, will find out if they’ve got dance skills in common.
It all started when Molina, 26, who is a reporter on Univision’s entertainment show El Gordo y la Flaca, challenged Lachapel, a host of the morning show Despierta América on the same network, to a dance-off. “When will Francisca Lachapel show us her moves?” Molina provocatively wrote on Instagram Jan. 25.

Thalía traveled to Mexico to be with her grandmother, Eva Mange, on her 100th birthday.

Raven-Symoné was just trying to share her view, but it wasn't exactly received well. The actress was a guest co-host on The View earlier today and at one point of the show, began to discuss the controversial headlines surrounding Michelle Obama. For those who are unaware, Flotus was recently at the center of some eyebrow-raising comments made by Univision's Rodner Figueroa on the program El Gordo Y La Flaca when he stated, "Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's part of the cast of Planet of the Apes, the film." Yikes! Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic to the audience and Rosie Perez kicked off the discussion by stating that his comment (which ultimately cost him...

Univision has fired a popular network talk show host after he made derogatory comments about Michelle Obama on air. Rodner Figueroa was on the program El Gordo Y La Flaca when he pointed to a photo of the first lady and said, "Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's part of the cast of Planet of the Apes, the film." Figueroa made the controversial statement during a segment on makeup transformations alongside makeup artist Paolo Ballesteros—who has become Instafamous for his ability to make himself look like celebrities using different makeup techniques. The show's other host, Raúl de Molina, appeared shocked by the racist remark and did his best to smooth things...
