Aside from all the Fiesta Broadway loco-ness ayer, America Ferrera was busy being honored at Hollywood Life Magazine’s 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards! Congrats to the super estrella for her hard work in the tough biz we know as Hollywood. After gaining so much attention for her breakout role in Real Women Have Curves — remember when she stripped down to her bra and underwear — we’re super happy America has gone from “indie” actress to super star in the Hollywood scene. Congrats chica! [Lossip]

Same old, same old for this Hollywood estrella. America Ferrera doesn’t want the paparazzi in her personal life. Wow, now that’s some breaking news.

“I do enjoy it when fans come up to me and say they love my series and like my work. But there’s a time and place for everything. Having strangers approach you…when you’re on the cell phone…can get pretty obnoxious.”

Uhhh whoops! Sorry about that America, we won’t spill the frijoles on your lovely phone conversation with your sweets Ryan Piers Williams. But we’re tired of all the secretos, tell us the chisme por favor! [National Ledger]

We know our girl America Ferrera is proud of her Latina roots but we feel her when she says that the press should consider her as an actress instead of labeling her as a “Latina” actress. It’s a tricky subject but check out the video clip and judge for yourself. America has been really busy lately promoting her indie flick Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna), her Spanish-language flick Towards Darkness, and her upcoming major motion picture movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 in which she co-stars with Alexis Bledel due out this August!
