30 June 2009, 3:15 PM. By Cindy Casares
It’s time to vote in Round 9 of Guanabee’s Hottest Latino Journalist Cook-Off. Today’s round pits two of the hottest dudes on TV and two of the fanciest womens. Won’t you help us decide? You have until 5PM ET tomorrow, so get your votes in.
Jim Acosta
- Eligibility: Cuban-American Reporter For CNN.
- Claim To Fame: He went back to Cuba before you did.
- Why He’s Hot: Jim emailed us to say thanks for recognizing Latino journalists with this contest. Jorge Ramos did not. We’re just saying.
Jorge Ramos
- Eligibility: Mexican-born anchor on Univision.
- Claim To Fame: Cindy’s first love. From afar. Sigh.
- Why He’s Hot: His eyes kill us. Also, he’s really, really smart and he chastises Americans for being the only country in the world that thinks it’s a bad thing to learn more than one language.
Which man would you rather have whisper sweet noticias? Vote here!
Ana Ledo
- Eligibility: Puerto Rican reporter for Univison 41 in New York City.
- Claim To Fame: Ana won the Woman of the Year Award at El Diario La Prensa’s Signature Destacadas Awards
- Why She’s Hot: Ana’s got that sexy professional thing going on. Even in a boring, black blazer, she manages to fog up the TV screen.
Maria Santana
- Eligibility: New York Bureau Manager and Correspondent For Mega TV.
- Claim To Fame: She was in a Gael Garcia Bernal/Diego Luna sandwich.
- Why She’s Hot: Maria is spunky. She looks like she could kick your ass. And then report it on the evening news.

I’m not sure if you guys have already done her since I haven’t seen all but Nefertiti Jacquez is a anchor on Fox 29 here in Philly and honestly she is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and a girl like me doesn’t easily call another woman beautiful easily.
Unfortch, noms are closed. And no one nominated her before the deadline.
Maria Santana rocks and is the cutest, sweetest girl!!!!
Word. Haters will hate. Playas will play.
I think Maria is a great reporter too. I agree she is sooo sweet and cutebut definitely not as pretty as Ana. “haters will hate?” People are funny. This competition is not for “cutest, sweet girl”,,,,,,Maria would get my vote in a sec for that.
Don’t let the nice smile fool you (though she’s got the best of the bunch). There’s more than cuteness that’s bringing out the votes here. She’s pretty freakin’ smart too, and driven. Read the bio. Wesleyan Grad (not some communications tech), and in 3 yrs, she goes from intern to running the NYC bureau, and didn’t get trapped just doing the weather. Hotness comes in many forms, and there is plenty here to keep the laptop keys smoking. Besides, the numbers speak for themselves. Seems like we’re exposing some antiquated perceptions of beauty here and a bit of gender bias. Would you say the same about some of the men on this list? They all don’t look like Jorge Ramos after all…
Must be some weird inside voting thing or rallying here. Santana is nice and spunky but in no way comes close being as hot as Ana Ledo.
As a Latina, why would I even want to win a “Hotness” contest as professional. I’m so sick of all of this. Win for your professional abilities, not a picture.
This is tiring people. And Antiquated perceptions of beauty (Maria rallier)? This is a “hotness” contest. The descriptions give you the answer already…..”Ana has the professional sexy thing that fogs up your screen.” “Maria looks like she can kick your ass” Sad…As a Latina…..even sadder.
Ana no doubt. Everyday. Then again this is like American idol. You can vote as much as you want I guess. But who the F cares anyway. I’m here to read the gossip.
Maria is not a journalist. She is just a guanabee.
Didnt even think about what person before said. Very true.
Jorge-Univision
Ana-Univision
Jim-CNN
Maria-MEGA TV——Might as well be on Youtube
You are right.. these people are on the Univisions, Telemundos and CNN’s of the world, but for how long?? As far as I see it, these are networks in decline that everyday put more and more Latino journalists ass out on the street leaving everyone, including people who decide to just start a blog, looking for an alternative.
Sounds like a bit of sore losing to me…I have seen Ledo on TV and checked out the online stuff for Santana and see very little difference in terms of reporting. Plus they kinda look alike anyway… so what’s the issue?
I think the contest is cool. I mean this is a gossip site, no? There are even nudie pictures on this thing. Like the person said before, Who the F cares, really? Do these people win anything beside getting talked about by random people? Doesn’t seem worth it for them if that’s the case…Especially if people are going to get all nasty about it.
Easy journalism everyone.
Check out Maria’s FB page. You can find out married name. Check out hubbys FB page. Wesleyan grad in profile. Read comment above re:Wesleyan—-sounds like Hubby posting. I’d try to rally to get my wifey voted Hottest too….so whats the big deal. Most of these votes probably from that crew. Whatevs folks.
There you have my crazy journalism skillz. Now I can go run Mega-TV too
Sounds more like cyber-stalking than journalism. Obsess much?
Wait. So Maria’s husband rallying people to vote for her? Nice gesture but I think she loses credibility in the process. Too desperate. So now we know if she wins.
Jorge Ramos looks like a raisin, and he sucks! He has failed to support/prove his point many times–what an embarrassment. Anyways, as all of you are saying, this is an appearance not an ability competition.
Jezzz isn’t the guy with gray hair the “latino” version of Anderson Cooper??
talk about being original…
Nothing like the Cooper by the way. Keep on dreaming ppl. Now, IF i had to choose, i will go with the Cooper look-alike.
