First of all, special thanks go out to Eva Longoria Parker, who took time out to speak with EVERY media outlet on the red carpet. She didn’t have to, but she DID!!!

One foreign journalist, however, really screwed up and apparently had no questions prepared for her. Eva and her publicist were trying to help him come up with a question and kindly suggested he be “more prepared” next time. OUCH!

“High School Musical” star Zac Efron wouldn’t speak to any media there without his “publicist’s permission.” Later on in the press room, one journalist accidentally called Ashley, VANESSA!!! The reporter apologized, while Tisdale and Efron laughed.

Actress Kate Del Castillo walked on the red carpet by herself, but guess who she was with in the gift room? Aaron Diaz!!! The pair was mingling with Edward James Olmos and his wife.

Que nacada! Many TV networks had spaces reserved backstage so they could do one-on-one interviews with celebrities. Apparently Telemundo’s crew didn’t show up to their space, so EVERY other Hispanic network decided to use it. Guess nobody noticed because those spaces cost big bucks and nobody kicked them out!

Ri-di-cu-lous! One reporter asked Colombian model/actress Sofia Vergara how she planned to celebrate Mexico’s independence day. What?! That’s like asking an American how he plans to celebrate Canada’s independence day! The bombshell reacted awkwardly and said she never really thought about it since she was Colombian! Uh-duh!!!

“La Fea Mas Bella” star, Angelica Vale, didn’t leave the show empty-handed. Girlfriend left the place with a huge Krups coffee-maker box.

Well, that’s it for this special edition of the Gossip Roundup. But we’ll be back soon with more “boooooOOooombas”!!!
