Hayek wants to bring Colombian miniseries to US
I'm
not easily persuaded into liking things, unless the person doing the persuading is Salma Hayek. Since she's gorgeous
I'll pretty much do whatever she wants andenjoy whatever she says is good. Having said that, I'm really excited about
the possibility of the Colombian miniseries Betty La Fea being turned into an American series. Hayek is
apparently a big fan of the show and wants to turn American audiences on to it. Salma, I'm already turned on, and I
don't even know what the hell the show is about. Damn, you're good.Things I Hate About TV: Telenovelas
They're cheesy. They're corny. And now they're coming to America. Soap operas are bad enough.
Spanish soap operas are even worse. They're long, the plots are always ridiculous and convoluted, and they're

be about some guy named Victor and his handle-bar moustache.
