Jennifer Lopez and Rosie Perez have reportedly let their claws out in the battle for who gets the rights to do a movie about Latina U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor.
Although las dos actrices boricuas have been friends in the past, both are very eager to make a film about the inspiring Latina judge. La amistad has been put on the backburner in the race to be the first star to secure the rights to the biopic.
According to a source quoted in the National Enquirer:
Rosie resents Jennifer going after the project because she says she would have wanted to make the movie whether Sotomayor was confirmed or not. (Lopez) hosted a dinner party for Justice Sotomayor right after her confirmation. It was to butter her up because Lopez thinks a film about her life story would be huge. Considering this is Hollywood, before its over, there may be two film versions of Sonia Sotomayor’s life.
Hmm, we're a little disappointed about all this fighting! We know Rosie Perez has been dying to take on the role, pero somehow we just don't think that a movie star batalla is the right way to celebrate the success of una poderosa e inspiradora Latina.
Bueno -- who do you think would make a better Sonia? JLo or Rosie? Leave a comment with your vote! [PopCrunch]

Rosie Perez to be the next Sonia Sotomayor?
Word is that the "White Men Can't Jump" star is willing to play the famous Latina Supreme Court nominated judge if a biopic ends up being confirmed. According to the Daily News, Rosie will have to battle it out with other Latina actresses that have been considered for the role including, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Mendes, and Sara Ramirez.
Rosie recently spoke to The Daily News about the role:
There needs to be a fearlessness in approaching that role. That's who she is. Balancing the human being versus the judge is the biggest challenge that would face me personally, but I also think that to play her, you have to dive in and discover her true spirit. Otherwise, don't even f-ing go there. Don't even f-ing try it.
Now that's true passion for the movie! Who do you think should be picked to play Sonia? [The Daily News]

What do all of these stars have in common?
They all supported the Latino Commisson on AIDS during the 14th Annual Cielo Latino Gala on Tuesday night at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC. The organization Cielo Latino continues to be the largest Annual National fundraiser for the Latino community against HIV. It's no coincidence that the non-profit exists since the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S., Latinos constitute 14% of the U.S. population but account for over 20% of the AIDS cases.
This year's gala garnered the support of the likes of Wilmer Valderrama, Lupe Ontiveros, Dayana Mendoza, Rosie Perez, Cucu Diamantes, Carmen Dominicci, and our very own Carlos Santos. Without a doubt we were there to catch all the acción and chat it up with Wilmer himself! Find out what he exclusively told MTV Tr3s and more gala gossip after the jump! Read more...

Guess who's coming to primetime? Yup, Lipstick Jungle is coming back this Fall with a new shade of brown. Sources reveal that Rosie Pérez and Puerto Rican heartthrob Carlos Ponce are coming to NBC’s Lipstick Jungle for multi-episode arcs in the new season, which premieres Sept. 24.
Executive producer Oliver Goldstick confirmed the news and revealed inside details on their roles. Carlos Ponce (who apparently beat out Mario Lopez for the role!) is set to play Rodrigo, a potential love interest for Lindsay Price's character, Victory Ford, while Rosie Pérez will be playing Dalia, Victory's passionate new publicist.
And who can we credit for this diversity inclusion? Goldstick claims his inspiration for the role was none other than Salma Hayek, whom he worked with on Ugly Betty.
To Salma, nothing’s unreachable and no one’s untouchable. That’s what I love about her, that can-do approach to everything, and I thought that was a great character to introduce to the show.
Salma is always taking one for the team. We love diversity on la tele! Besides we miss Rosie! It's been a minute since the days of It Could Happen To You and White Men Can't Jump. This role sounds like it will be good for her, even if it is on the smaller screen. Qué piensas tú? [E! Online]
