The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly is another fancy float in the growing parade of top 100 lists patched together by entertainment media and judged on Guanabee. (Remember when Rosie Perez appeared in the 96th greatest American film of all time, or when Salma Hayek played the #10 favoritest lesbian in Frida?) It’s a free-for-all in the EW 100, where the rag’s writers have picked apart a year’s worth of movies, TV, music, and books to bring you “everything [they’re] obsessed with”. Apparently, Latinos aren’t easy to obsess about. What else would explain our stellar representation by a Caribbean “talent pool” featuring Daddy Yankee and some Dominican broad at #60? (Far be it from a weekly publication to know that reggaetón is sooo yesterday.)

The only other ranking worth mention on this blog is #19, the spot earned by Spaniard actor Javier Bardem. (When you play gay Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas like he did in “Before Night Falls”, you’re welcome to our stoop any time.) Besides, Bardem might’ve seen Natalie Portman’s boobies on the set of “Goya’s Ghosts”.
All in all, a predictable lack of Latinos in the Entertainment Weekly 100. But we’re not sore: at least the mag shat on Paris Hilton coverage in its “Things We Hate” list.
