¡Viva Hollywood! Premiere Screening and Party
The ¡Viva Hollywood! premiere screening party last night at El Cid on Sunset Boulevard was as vibrant as you might expect from a crowd of open bar-fueled telenovela stars and wannabes.The reality show's host, Maria Conchita Alonso (above), in a T-shirt that warned "Please don't feed the model," was even lovelier in person, and the endlessly amusing Charo (below, with Viva stars Roseny and Enrique), in a short, ruffled confection, couldn't stop entertaining guests with the dismaying news that her record company had reduced her new single from 135 beats-per-minute to 128. Most of the participants of Vh1 and World of Wonder's well-received star-search series were there mingling, as well as veteran Latina actress Lupe Ontiveros. The male and female beauties got to see themselves for the first time on the venue's big screen, and sometimes the excitement in the room matched that on the screen. (All photos by Lana Dandan)
