¡Viva Hollywood!

Today's Star-Telegram lists five reasons why you should watch ¡Viva Hollywood! on Vh1 tonight at 10:30, adding that "it's cool to have so many Latinos on an English-language show where Jimmy Smits is not involved!"

Reason 3: With challenges tonight that include scenes with hair-pulling, slapping and water-throwing (for the ladies) and punching, fighting and falling (for the guys), contestants get to take out their aggressions on each other without the risk of getting thrown out of La Casa. And, just in the first episode, there are already wars between studious Geovannie and slacker Vinci, and especially between leggy, arrogant Gisel and down-to-earth mom Jainmy.

Reason 5: Two words: Walter Mercado. The iconic, flamboyant Puerto Rican astrologer appears to the contestants [...] in "a magic portrait to tell them they must master the Seven Deadly Sins of Telenovela": passion, lust, vanity, drama, fire, seduction and scandal. As far as reality TV goes, it really doesn't get much better than that.
