THE EMELIA PEREZ BACKSTORY IS FASCINATING

We just walked out of a screening of Netflix movie Emelia Perez, and we couldn’t wait to google the leading actress Karla Sofia Gascon. The story is about a rough Mexican gangster (married with children) who secretly transforms into a woman. He fakes his own death and reappears a few years later pretending to be his estranged sister Emelia Perez.  Zoe Saldana plays his legal advisor who knows about the change, and Selena Gomez plays his wife, who assumes her husband is dead and doesn’t recognize the “sister.” All THIS and the movie is a musical! Emelia Perez is played by trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon, who until around 10 years ago was handsome actor Carlos Gascon. Trans actress Karla played herself as the rough gangster AND the trans woman. (fake sister) The female ensemble cast of Emelia Perez has already won a Best Actress award in Cannes – will Karla get an Oscar too?

JAMES CAMERON CALLS ZOE SALDANA “QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE”

Zoe Saldana should frame this beautiful photo of her family, taken on the incredible day that she got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not many actors can claim that they have several successful movie franchises under their belt, but Avatar star Zoe can, and she is set for life. The only visible flaw in her career is her movie Nina, which was filmed in 2012, and just released in April. When she accepted the role of singer and political activist Nina Simone, there was a huge uproar because she was “too pretty and light skinned” to play the part. The dark makeup and fake nose didn’t help, and the movie flopped – mostly because of the lame script and not Zoe’s valiant but unappreciated efforts. But hey, people make mistakes, and Zoe has everything else going for her. She wanted her husband Marco Perego and three sons Cy, Bowie, and Zen to share her very special Walk of Fame day.

AND ZOE SALDANA VOWED SHE’D NEVER GET MARRIED!

But everything changed when she met her husband-to-be, who also had no interest in marriage. Italian artist Marco Perego swept the Avatar actress off her feet and not only married Zoe Saldana but he took HER last name. They now have the two year old twin boys, Cy and Bowie, pictured here, plus a five month old baby boy named Zen at home. Zoe says she’s lucky her husband is the sensitive type and he helps out with the kids. But he’s no slouch- Marco has made millions with his art projects.

ONE MORE ZOE SALDANA IS NOT A BAD THING

You know you’ve made it big when Madame Tussaud makes a wax figure of you and Zoe Saldana and her husband Marco Perago had fun with the situation in Hollywood. The next step is a star on the Walk of Fame. Zoe and Marco have three year old twins at home and a two month old baby, but she has a full work schedule. Her calendar is packed with action movies as well as three more Avatar films.

ZOE SALDANA TELLS IT LIKE IT IS

Another reason to love Zoe Saldana. She picked the right man to marry. Her progressive husband Marco Perego announced proudly that he has taken his wife’s last name. Perhaps emboldened by her supportive feminist husband, Zoe, who recently gave birth to twins, took the time to point out the fact that pregnant women are not welcome in Hollywood. Actresses with children are rarely offered child care or nannies when working, while men get all kinds of perks – like penthouses, jets, and bodyguards. Keep up the good work, Zoe.

ZOE SALDANA AND MARCO PERAGO DO THE MATH

Two heads are better than one. Zoe Saldana and her Italian husband Marco Perago are no different from the rest of us when it comes to parking. They are carefully calculating how long it will take them to eat lunch so the meter doesn’t run out. Zoe gave birth to their twin boys, Bowie and Cy, just three months ago and already she and Marco are hiking in the hills with the babies strapped to their chests. The new parents still take time to be alone together. They seem like one of the happiest couples in Hollywood.

ZOE SALDANA: NO SENSE DENYING TWINS NOW!

Zoe Saldana had no choice but to finally admit she’s having TWINS because this big pink dress is a dead give-away! She and her Italian husband Marco Perego turned up at the Hollywood Costume Opening Party at the new Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Museum in LA. Zoe’s been avoiding baby questions, but she finally opened up and admitted she’s thrilled to be having twins. She and Marco were secretly married last year.

ZOE SALDANA: MAYBE SHE REALLY IS HAVING TWINS – OR MAYBE NOT

Zoe Saldana and her Italian husband Marco Perego, along with their perky little dog, went car shopping this weekend. They looked at roomy jeeps and appeared to be deciding on a car suitable for an expanding family. Ultimately, the pair ended up buying a practical Fiat, so who knows. But they do look like a happy couple…

ZOE SALDANA WILL HAVE A VERY BUSY 2015

Four months pregnant Zoe Saldana and her husband Marco Perego got a craving for pizza so they grabbed lunch at Mozza before shopping at James Perse. (It’s cute that he carries her handbag!) Zoe is rumored to be expecting twins and she wore a skirt with an elastic waist so she could eat comfortably. After the babies are born early next year, she starts filming three back-to-back Avatar movies.

ZOE SALDANA GETS IT RIGHT ON THE RED CARPET

Zoe Saldana is the perfect example of what to wear on the red carpet when you’re pregnant. Hot on the heels of the rumor that she and her husband Marco Perego are expecting TWINS, Zoe showed up at the London premier of Guardians of the Galaxy (you couldn’t PAY us to sit through that movie, but it will probably be a big hit) looking exquisite. Her sheer and breezy blue summer dress couldn’t be more appropriate and flattering. If pregnant women would stop stuffing themselves into spandex, the world would be a better place.
