I have here a copy of the 16 de Abril issue of ¡Mira!, which is a Spanish-language celebrity gossip tabloid. The cover story is an interview with Angélica Vale, who plays Lety in "La Fea Más Bella."
It's got some photos of Lety after her transformation from fea to bella -- wow! -- but be warned, there are also some photos of Lety with Aldo and Fernando that make it very plain which man she's going to end up with, so don't look at that article if you want to be even the tiniest bit surprised.
After reading at that article and wishing I hadn't, I looked more closely at the cover of the issue and thought, hey, is that a photo of Maximo from "Duelo de Pasiones" in the upper right-hand corner? And yes, it is!
The headline next to the photo screams, La Ex De Rafael Rojas Alega: "¡Él Es Bisexual!"
Él es? Ay! I had to check that article out.
As the title suggests, it's an interview with his ex-wife, Milena Santana. The introduction says she accuses him of being "drogadicto y bisexual." He denies it, "saying he is rehabilitated from his addictions" and threatening to contrademandarla (does this mean "counter-sue her"?) but she "insists on the bisexuality of the Costa Rican."
The interview itself is mostly about her acting ambitions, so all I learned about Rafael Rojas was that he has two daughters with Ms. Santana and another daughter from a previous relationship.
At the end of the interview there's a note that says (I think) that Rojas says he has been off drugs for five or six years and is supporting his daughters.
All I can say is that Rafael Rojas is by far the most entertaining thing about "Duelo de Pasiones." I'm never bored when he's on the screen. And he's quite good-looking, isn't he?
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him:Rafael Rojas.
This issue of ¡Mira! also has an interview with Ana Martin, who plays Luba in "Duelo." It says she's a former sex symbol, which doesn't surprise me -- she is so pretty.
I am surprised, however, to learn that she's 60. She doesn't look it at all. The article says she's had liposuction recently, so I suppose there may be some other surgical explanation for her well-preserved looks, but it's certainly working for her.
The article says she feels agile but wouldn't want to pose for a men's magazine (she did it when she was young and didn't like it at that stage, much less now). And she wouldn't write her autobiography because it would upset many people and she'd surely end up in jail, "porque llevé una vida privada muy escabrosa" (which I think means something like "because I lived a very unconventional private life")!Labels: Actors, Duelo de Pasiones
