When
Lipstick Jungle comes back for the new season on Wednesday, September 24, we already know that Wendy's life will be impacted by the appearance of her challenging, iconic mother Joyce, played by television great
Mary Tyler Moore.
Now comes news via E! Online that things will be getting more complicated for the
Lipstick Jungle with the addition of two more name stars;
Latino talents Carlos Ponce and Rosie Perez are both booked for guest roles.
Is Hollywood finally waking up and smelling the census report? Add to the growing list of shows centered around Latino families
CBS' Los Duques. Starring Jimmy Smits, who also serves as the program's executive producer, the show focuses on the Duques, a powerful South Florida family of rum merchants. In typical telenovela fashion, the family's ailing patriarch leaves control of the company to an outsider, Smits' character Alex Vega.
Smits' production company El Sendero has two additional projects set up at FX and ABC. The FX program,
The Inside, focuses on a former Special Forces operative who gives up his identity to infiltrate a drug cartel. The ABC project is an epic miniseries about immigration told through several interconnected storylines. The miniseries will be written and directed by Gregory Nava, who directed Smits in the feature film
My Family/Mi Familia.
