Refried Screens

Hollywood has always had a special place in its heart for Latinas as bombshell sex symbols.

It doesn’t matter if they’re passing for Anglo like Rita Hayworth, Raquel Welch or Wonder Woman, out of the ethnic closet like Salma Hayek and J. Lo, or even if a self-hating Latina like Jessica Alba.

But it’s just not Hollywood. The Internet has birthed a new breed of Latina celebrity like Noelia,  Johanna Cardona, and now Wanda Nara.

The difference?

They’re all buttafaces.

Buttafaces with sex tape controversies.

Judge for yourself:

Wanda Nara, Sex Tape Fame:

Salma Hayek, No Sex Tape Fame:

Noelia, Sex Tape Fame:

Ugly Betty, No Sex Tape fame…yet:

Latina celebrity has found a harmonic balance. One no longer needs copious amounts of plastic surgery or win the genetic lottery to acheive fame. Sure, a cellphone camera and acts illegal in 34 states may not get one to Hollywood, but it sure as hell can guarantee a #1 slot on Technorati.

Whether or not Al Gore had this in mind when he invented the Internet remains to be seen.
