picture-48So, how good are you all at figuring out blind items? See if you can help us figure out the identity of an actor who is “too white” for a certain television program. Andy Garcia?

Wicked Whispers:

Which TV personality is “too white” for a Spanish-based program? He test-ed well, but execs were worried because he doesn’t really speak the language.

We’re taking “test-ed” to be a hint, but we’re pretty much stumped anyway. Nonetheless, here are a few of our guesses:

Mario Lopez

Mario certainly has an appeal for Latina fans and, as the host of “Extra” he’s a bonified TV personality, but we’re not sure how firm his grasp of the language actually is. Could The Dimpled One be too gringofied for a Spanish-based series? His IMDB page isn’t too much help on this front.

Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Freddie, who is the son of half-Puerto Rican actor and comedian Freddie Prinze, hasn’t been heard from much lately, choosing to focus his attention on his love of WWE wrestling instead of on making the next Scooby Doo. Could a TV series be in the works? His IMDB page doesn’t show any projects in his near future, so who knows?

Perez Hilton

The large-headed blogger is something of a TV personality these days, expanding his media empire as he reduces his waist size. Could a new program be in the works for Mario Lavandeira?

Rick Sanchez

Hey, it could happen. Sure, he’s fluent in Spanish. By does he really speak the lingo of the people, dawg?

Any other guesses?

    It can’t be Perezcito. There’s no way Belen Jesuit would let someone graduate (much less go there) if they didn’t speak Spanish. I think the key is the TV personality part…

    Mario Lopez speaks Spanish just fine, and Perez is fond of calling out Latinos that DON’T speak Spanish, so it’s not him either.

    It would be easier if it was a woman - the entertainment world is replete with pochas! Eva Longoria, America Ferrara…

    Ah, yes, I have been using the term “whi-tino” for years to describe the folks who introduce themselves with gringo-fied names or who look at you strange when you actually pronounce a Spanish name accurately.

    This happened to be A LOT when I was in high school in Boca Raton, FL.
