Natalia Boa Vista!

Here's some youtube fan videos I found on Eva LaRue CSI: Miami character Natalia Boa Vista:



Dawson > Trachtenberg

Former Sex and the City star Jason Lewis is reportedly dating Michelle Trachtenberg after finishing with long-term girlfriend Rosario Dawson last November. Jason and Michelle were recently spotted on a date at the Chateau Marmony Hotel but a source told Us Weekly that it’s still very early days: “they just began hanging out”.

All bias aside, but really Dawson > Trachtenberg.

Joaquin Phoenix macking Ghost Rider's Girl!?

EVA MENDES has laughed off rumours of a romance with her WE OWN THE NIGHT co-star JOAQUIN PHOENIX - after they dined together after work. The Latina actress has been dating director GEORGE GARGUREVICH for the past five years, but is constantly reported to be romantically entwined with her leading men. She says, "God, we went out to dinner together. We were working together so, of course, you'd go out and have a meal after work. Why wouldn't you? "I'm a grown woman! Do you think I'd be making out with somebody? I stopped doing that when I was 14. Yuck!"

Personally I think they would had made a really cute couple...

ShoWest Taps Dawson for Actress Nod

Rosario Dawson will be honored as supporting actress of the year at ShoWest, the film industry convention that will be held March 12-15 at the Bally's and Paris hotels in Las Vegas. The actress, who appeared in Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City," will next appear in Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse," which Dimension Films will release April 6. "We just know that Ms. Dawson is going to electrify audiences worldwide with her performance in the eagerly anticipated 'Grindhouse,' " Mitch Neuhauser, co-managing director of the event, said in announcing the award, which will be presented at ShoWest's closing-night ceremony March 15. Dawson, a native of New York, made her film debut in 1995's "Kids." Her credits also include "Sidewalks of New York" and "Men in Black 2." Dawson also is starring in "Descent," the first film she has produced, for director Talia Lugacy. The film will premiere in April at the Tribeca Film Festival. She will be seen later this year in "Killshot," directed by John Madden, and also is on tap for Rodriguez and Frank Miller's "Sin City 2."
ShoWest is managed by Nielsen Business Media, parent company of The Hollywood Reporter.

Oh The Drama!

Marc Anthony has been embarrassed by a photo he posed for with a photographer charged with heroin possession and child pornography.

The candid snapshot, taken backstage at a New York concert Anthony headlined in 2004, is being used to prove the Latino singer had a relationship with photographer Michael Star, who is set to stand trial in the US after fleeing to Colombia.

The picture has been posted on Latino newspaper El Diario's website as part of a story suggesting Anthony was a friend of Star's.

But even Star's closest friends insist the photographer merely used Anthony's name and the photo to help him peddle his sick trade.

Rosa Sanabria admits the snapper used his so-called relationship with Anthony to lure young girls to his photo studio.

She tells the National Enquirer, "This guy is a monster and a sick person. It's awful for Marc to be dragged into this."

To make matters worse for the singer, Sanabria reveals Star will attempt to call Anthony to testify on his behalf when his trial comes to court.

"The Kill Pit"

DeMonaco’s eight-hour drama series “The Kill Pit,” begins production later this month in Pittsburgh, with Steve Shill (”The Sopranos”) directing the first four episodes. “Kill Pit,” revolves around a downtown bank robbery by a team of American Iraqi-War veterans. More than a dozen hostages from all walks of life are taken, ranging from the daughter of a business tycoon to an adulterous couple. Throughout the eight-hour event, viewers will follow the escalating action as the volatile soldiers plot their way out, the negotiator anticipates their moves and the hostages desperately try to survive. Time is critical and the game intensifies with surprising twists at every turn. John Leguizamo will play Wolf, the leader of the robbers, Donnie Wahlberg as Horst Cali and Jennifer Ferrin as Chloe.
