I LOVE this story and have been really enjoying it! Can you imagine??? Also, word has it that Alec had a crush on Selma Hayek during 30 Rock, but was rejected by her. Hillary, knowing this, set her sites on Alec with her fake accent and background. Did you see the wedding? She was wearing a full mantilla and broke out a fan. It's like me claiming I'm French and breaking out an accordion and wearing a beret and smoking a Gauloises cigarette. And then! THEN! She proceeded to name her children in super Latin names...how are they going to explain that they aren't even Spanish? I saw that Amy Schumer got push-back from mocking the "I'm holding my baby on Insta in my Perla lingerie" for "body shaming". I sort of disagree, it's not body shaming at all, it's stupidity shaming. beerbelly 😆. I barely knew who she was before all of this. I knew that she liked to pose on Instagram but was never interested enough to look. Those pictures of the wedding though,with the fan 😂 I'm pretty sure that I qualify as a Spanish woman since I took exactly two years of Spanish in HS and none in college. I will probably emerge in 2021 with a new name. Mermaidia? Suggestions welcome. Edited because I'm having fun with this. 😂

Lol! Two years of Spanish? You should be on the cover of Hola! too! What I love about this story is that it is also very funny. I hadn't two thoughts about her but now I'm reading all the coverage on this.

I get that she lied and has been caught. I also get that she’s an obnoxious self promoter. But I have to say I don’t get the level of outrage being directed towards her over this. I also don't get the level of outrage towards her. This is so commonplace in Hollywood and everywhere else. People have been changing their names & and keeping quiet about their backgrounds in order to present a background they feel is more advantageous to them for a very long time. Listing a few Hollywood types: Ramon Estevez is Martin Sheen Archibald Leach is Cary Grant Norma Jean Mortenson is Marilyn Monroe Marion Morrison is John Wayne Jo Raquel Tejada is Raquel Welch Maurice Mickelwhite is Michael Caine Issur Danielovitch is Kirk Douglas Eric Bishop is Jamie Foxx Reginald Dwight is Elton John These are only a few of them & they're out there in all walks of life. I personally know people who have shortened their last names or changed their first names. Sometimes it's to cover up a heritage to get a job. Sometimes it's to make themselves sound more macho or sexy. Sometimes it's to disassociate from family. Many reasons Then there are the ones who kept their names but fabricated background stories for themselves for whatever reason: Erroll Flynn - All sorts of stories about his heritage & things he'd done. Raymond Burr - Same about the stories, plus he even created a fictional wife & son, stories about them and a story about how they died. In both cases, all lies. So I don't care if she wants to name herself Hilaria, Hillary, or Absolutely Hilarious. Go for it. Have fun with it. But be willing to face the fallout when she's called out on it. Ok many who have "gone to Hollywood" have changed their names and nothing wrong with that. My dad's brother shortened our family name because he grew up with it constantly being mispronounced and didn't want that for his children. No one in the family had a problem with that. What he and those in the public eye didn't do was take on the persona and culture that wasn't theirs. There's a difference.

I don't get the level of outrage either. Unlike Dolezal, she didn't pretend to be another race, she just pretended to be a white woman with a accent😂. She already had half of that.

I don't get the level of outrage either. Unlike Dolezal, she didn't pretend to be another race, she just pretended to be a white woman with a accent😂. She already had half of that. I mean, Spaniards are White but she doubled down and was claiming the whole culture to the point that she claimed that her parents "didn't know how to pronounce Baldwin" and was constantly on the "in my culture we do this" when in fact she's practically a WASP. She gave her children Spanish names, had her cook fix dishes from that region at home because "she was homesick" and basically her whole identity revolved around being a Spaniard. Then there's...what happened at their wedding.
It reminds me of the people who claim "Cherokee on their mother's side" to try to add a little spice and exoticness to their background but taking it several steps further and it's gross.
In addition to that she's also cosplayed being a Latina as well to the point that a few Mexican and South American shows and magazines have had her on their platforms discussing issues in that community. Because of the history of colonialism in those areas there is a distinction between being a Spaniard and being Latino that your average American either doesn't know about (or care judging by how many people think that Penelope Cruz and her husband Javier are Latino and they aren't; they're White Spaniards). I believe in allyship, not people taking spaces away from those who are actually affected by the things going on in their community.

Yes yes and YES! Kao, you always say things perfectly. And she is def a WASP! She is a DAR! Probably in the social register. They just bought a summer home in Spain instead of France or Palm Beach. So yes, how rare, how...(clutch pearls) "exotic". And I thought Penelope Cruz was from Mexico, so you are exactly right.

This all reminds me of DORIT's first season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she is speaking with a British accent. Giving viewers the impression she was from the UK like her husband. When on one episode, Erica calls Dorit out on her British accent exclaiming " You are an American, you were born in Connecticut, why are you talking like that" ..... it surprised Dorit. Madonna did the same thing after residing in the UK for a while. All of a sudden she has a British accent.

Just saw an article in the Boston GLOBE mentioning Chrissy Teigen's latest post on one of her media outlets that she is 30 days sober and tired of acting the fool in public while drunk. I was sure that she had said much the same in the past and there was mention that she admitted to a drinking problem back in 2017. What shocked me was that she recently also mentioned her miscarriage in October.....I hope to heaven that she was not drinking during her pregnancy.

I don't know if it adds anything to the conversation, but here in Arizona when we fill out information forms (like at the doctor), the "Race" choices include different options, such as "White" or "White (Not Hispanic)."
I haven't seen an option for "White Pretending to be Hispanic."

It looks like they want her, for DWTS..lol They probably will! Let's see if she turns it down. In retrospect, I don't get what she was to gain from making things up. Spouses of celebrities sometimes become celebs themselves. It wouldn't have been an issue for her. 🤷🏾♀️ What shocked me was that she recently also mentioned her miscarriage in October.....I hope to heaven that she was not drinking during her pregnancy. Her son dying is what drove her to drink. She wasnt drinking while pregnant. Such a horrible loss would drive anyone to madness. 😭

So if Hilarious goes on DWTS, will all of her dances have a Latin flair to reflect "her culture"?

I haven't seen an option for "White Pretending to be Hispanic." It's the little box right under "White Pretending to be Black", as filled out by that Rachel gal.

Zoe Kravitz is getting a divorce from her husband after 18 months. I think the Covid curse got them, as quarantine is bringing out the cracks in people's relationships; they aren't the first couple to split. I remember seeing pictures of her beautifully eccentric Paris wedding and being really happy for her.

That boyfriend is kinda dodgy, if you ask me. He was the one that announced her "death" to newspeople and was giving interviews about what it was like to have her "die in his arms." I really hope they test her for toxins because apparently she collapsed while walking the dogs and they still aren't sure what's wrong with her!

So, someone dies and you walk out of the room and don't speak to nurses or doctors? He's sketchy as hell. Investigate the hell out of him. According to TMZ, she has officially passed on now. www.tmz.com/2021/01/05/tanya-roberts-dead-dies-65-bond-girl-70s-show-premature-announcement/Again, very bizarre.

Laura represented her in her last divorce and also represented Khloe in her divorce from Lamar.
