Edgar Ramírez is preparing for a real estate battle…
The 48-year-old Venezuelan actor will star in and executive produce the real estate drama pilot ordered by the Onyx Collective for Hulu.
The untitled project (aka Monopoly) was created by Roberto Patino and Cassius Corrigan. The duo wrote the pilot, which Alonso Ruizpalacios has come on board to direct.
In a cutthroat battle to dominate the Manhattan skyline, two rival real estate developers risk everything — wealth, family and their souls — as their ambition turns into obsession, and their partnership turns into war.
Ramírez will play one of the two rivals, Moises Saladín, the charismatic heir to a Latin American real estate empire, whose unyielding ambition blurs the line between visionary genius and ruthless tactician.
Patino, who serves as showrunner, Corrigan, Ramírez and Ruizpalacios executive produce alongside x and Luke Maxwell of 3 Arts, Liz Tigelaar and Stacey Silverman of Best Day Ever as well as real estate developer Donahue Peebles III who will serve as technical consultant.
Patino and Corrigan’s script had been garnering pickup momentum over the past couple of months. That was accelerated by Ruizpalacios’ hire as director, with Ramírez’s casting securing the pilot green light.
Emmy-nominated Ramírez recently starred in Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez. He can be seen in Camille Perton’s feature debut Arenas and recently wrapped production on DrakeDoremus’ starring alongside Emilia Clarke.
Ramírez is repped by Impression Entertainment, CAAand Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum Matlof and Fishman.
The 30-year-old Dominican American singer & actress will perform at the 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame gala, which is presented jointly by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum.
Taking place on Friday, May 16 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, the site of the first Grammy Awards ceremony in 1959, the event will feature performances that pay tribute to the 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame inducted recordings, which were revealed on February 13.
Grace, a former Latin Grammy nominee will deliver Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine’s 1985 breakthrough hit, “Conga.”
Released in September 1985, the festive recording was Miami Sound Machine’s first Billboard Hot 100 hit.
“Conga,” which was written by Miami Sound Machine drummer Enrique Garcia,was the first single from the group’s second English-language album, Primitive Love.
Gloria Estefan assumed star billing in 1987 with the similarly infectious “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You.” She and husband Emilio received the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in 2019. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame four years later. She won her fourth Grammy on February 2 for best global music performance as a featured artist on Sheila E.’s “Bemba Colorá.”
Returning as host is CBS News journalist Anthony Mason.
The show will be produced by Ken Ehrlich, alongside Ron Basile, Lindsay Saunders Carl and Lynne Sheridan.

The Grammy Hall of Fame was established by the Recording Academy’s national trustees in 1973. Inducted recordings are selected annually by a member committee drawn from all branches of the recording arts with final ratification by the academy’s national board of trustees. Counting the 13 new titles in 2025, the Grammy Hall of Fame totals 1,165 inducted recordings.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is helping bring the story of a baseball dynasty to life…
The 45-year-old Puerto Rican Tony Award winning actor, singer, songwriter, rapper, filmmaker and librettist and Luis Miranda, Jr.’s Viajes Miranda is producing Disney’s feature project Molina.
The film is based on the New York Times best-selling autobiographical book Molina: The Story of the Father Who Raised an Unlikely Baseball Dynasty by Bengie Molina.
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jose Rivera, who also hails from Puerto Rico, is writing the script.
Viajes Miranda is producing alongside Rideback’s Jonathan Eirich and Diana Nabatoff of Tiara Blu Films, who secured the rights to the book.
Rideback’s Nick Reynolds is an executive producer.
Molina’s autobiography is the backbone of the story that tracks the life and upbringing of Bengie, Jose and Yadier Molina – the only three brothers to all play Major League Baseball at the same time – with a focus on their father Benjamin’s journey with the boys as he set them on the path to success.
Incredibly, the three Molina brothers from Puerto Rico all made it to professional baseball’s highest ranks, all became catchers, and all won World Series rings. Ad Loading
Miranda was nominated for two original song Oscars for Disney films: “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto and “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana.
He recently penned the songs from the studio’s profitable Mufasa, which made $175M after all ancillaries after a $722M global gross. Miranda’s filmed live stage version of his multi Tony-winning Hamilton was acquired by Disney and streamed during the COVID-19 pandemic becoming a huge hit on the service.
It’s a brand new and web-derful day for Liza Colón-Zayas.
The 52-year-old Puerto Rican award-winning actress and The Bear fan favorite has closed a deal to join Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in the Spider-Man saga from Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, Deadline has learned.
Representatives for Sony and Marvel declined comment. Details on Colón-Zayas’ role remain stuck in the spider’s web.
The Emmy winner joins an ensemble led by Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker and his superheroic alter ego, with Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink also on board in a mystery role. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who respectively play Peter’s love interest MJ and close friend Ned, are expected to return.
Destin Daniel Cretton will direct, with Amy Pascal producing alongside Marvel president Kevin Feige, when production kicks off later this year.
The film is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.
Brand New Day will be the first live-action Spider-Man since Spider-Man: No Way Home, a box office phenomenon that grossed over $1.9 billion upon its release in December 2021.
Plot details remain under wraps, though No Way Home found Peter at a turning point, making the ultimate sacrifice to save the multiverse from chaos. He’s able to seal a rift by asking Doctor Strange to cast a spell that makes everyone forget who he is, and winds up completely alone in the process.
All past films in the Holland-led series have been major draws, with Spider-Man: Far from Home bringing in over a billion in 2019 and Spider-Man: Homecoming grossing over $880 million two years prior to that.
Colón-Zayas won an Emmy last year for her turn as tough yet tender line cook Tina Marrero on FX’s comedy The Bear, exploring Chicago’s culinary scene, where she stars opposite Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Her win made her the first Latina to earn the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, and she’s also seen her work on the show recognized with individual nominations at the Critics Choice Awards, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes. The show returned for its third season last summer and will be back for a fourth.
In film, Colón-Zayas’s recent credits include IF and Cat Person. Also seen on shows like In Treatment and David Makes Man, she’s been recognized for her stage work with Drama Desk, Obie and Lucille Lortel awards, among others.
The 35-year-old Mexican singer and songwriter has joined voices with Alejandro Fernandez to release the single “Me Está Doliendo,” on Thursday, May 8.
León and Fernández could have gone the Regional Mexican route, or in any direction really, as two of the most versatile artists in Latin music, but they opted to go the acoustic-pop ballad route.
“Me Está Doliendo” is a beautiful, stripped-down ballad powered by prickly and acoustic guitars and a thumping drum beat that serve as a canvas to León and Fernández’s pathos-fueled delivery. They each take turns expressing just how they’re dealing with a heartbreak that doesn’t seem to heal.
“It’s hurting me, and I ask myself if maybe you’re thinking of me, I’m not meant for someone else to be hugging me,” Fernández sings evocatively. “That’s how things happen in this heart, it’s good at loving you but bad at forgetting you,” León responds, just before we get a mesmerizing electric guitar solo.
The new collaboration comes just days after León and Fernández uploaded a clip on social media singing Fernández’s hit song “Me Dediqué a Perderte” together, which prompted many to think that they were releasing a new version of the 2004 classic.
“Thank you [Alejandro Fernández] for singing with me one of my favorite songs,” León wrote on Instagram. Shortly after, the two announced it was actually a new song they were releasing, titled “Me Está Doliendo,” which will be part of an extended version of León’s Palabra de To’s.
The 67-year-old Cuban-American singer, songwriter, actress, author and philanthropist’s latest single “Raíces” lands atop Billboard’s Latin Airplay, Tropical Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts dated May 10.
Having first led Latin Airplay with “Abriendo Puertas” in October 1995, Estefan boasts the longest span of reigning at No. 1: 29 years, six months and three weeks.
She also becomes the seventh act to have topped the chart in the 1990s, 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s.
“To see ‘Raíces’ reach No. 1 across the Latin Airplay, Tropical Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts is both humbling and incredibly emotional for me,” Estefan tells Billboard. “It’s been over a decade since I’ve had a song connect on this level, and I’m beyond grateful.”
Estefan last reached the summit on Latin Airplay in 2012, when “Hotel Nacional” ruled for one week.
Prior to that, she topped the list with “No Llores” for two weeks in 2007, marking her fifth No. 1 of the 2000s. She earned her first five leaders in the ‘90s (dating to the chart’s 1994 start).
“Personally, this song is a tribute to where I come from — to my heritage, my culture and the rhythms that shaped me,” Estefan adds of “Raíces” (which translates in English to “roots”). “Professionally, it’s a reminder that music truly has no expiration date when it comes from the heart, and to see Latin music elevated and crossing charts globally really is a dream come true and a testament to the growth of our culture and sound.”
“Raíces” makes its No. 1 breakthrough on Latin Airplay as the song soars 11-1 with the Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest increase in audience among the chart’s 50 titles. It earned 13 million impressions, up 123%, in the week ending May 1, according to Luminate.
“Raíces,” released on March 20 under Crescent Moon/Sony Music Latin, received substantial support from Spanish Broadcasting System radio stations during the latest tracking week, led by WZNT, WODA. WRXD and WMEG in Puerto Rico, as well as Miami’s WCMQ, Orlando’s WPYO and Tampa’s WSUN in Florida.
As Estefan achieves her 12th ruler on Latin Airplay, she secures her place among an elite group of artists who have logged at least one Latin Airplay chart-topper in four distinct decades.
She becomes the third woman artist to achieve the feat, joining Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. The other such acts overall: Enrique Iglesias (who holds a record 32 No. 1 hits, spanning 1995-2024), Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Alejandro Fernández.
With “Raíces” also claiming the top spot on the Tropical Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts, it dons a rare triple crown, becoming the first title to top the three tallies since Carlos Vives and Camilo’s “Baloncito Viejo” held command across the June 18, 2022-dated rankings.
On Tropical Airplay, Estefan scores her first No. 1 since “Hotel Nacional” in 2012. On Latin Pop Airplay, she had last led with “No Me Dejes de Querer” in 2000.
Thanks almost entirely to its radio haul, “Raíces” makes its way to the Hot Latin Songs chart, where it debuts at No. 37. It’s her 31st entry, a total that includes 15 No. 1s among 23 top 10s.
“Thank you to the fans, radio and everyone who’s embraced ‘Raíces’,” Estefan says. “You’ve made this journey back to my musical roots so meaningful and unforgettable.”

The series picks up after Ziva’s supposed death when Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter.

Since then – and where we find them in the new iteration – Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together. When Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.
The series also stars Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Julian Ovenden, Nassima Benchicou, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Terence Maynard and James D’Arcy.
John McNamara serves as showrunner for the series, which is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Aubrey Plaza is preparing to help protect children’s health and well-being…
The 40-year-old half-Puerto Rican actress and comedian will lead the under-the-radar drama The Accompanist alongside Susan Surrandon and Everly Carganilla.
Actor, writer, director and comedian Zach Woods is making his feature directorial debut.
Mister Smith Entertainment is handling international sales on the film, which is currently in post-production. CAA Media Finance and Gersh are handling North American sales.
The synopsis reads: “When 9-year-old Emily (Carganilla) accidentally tells her school nurse that her dementia-stricken grandpa almost got them killed, a rookie child-welfare agent Sarah (Plaza) is sent to their house to investigate. A botched extraction ensues and Emily is taken and placed with Sylvia, a new foster parent. Sylvia (Susan Sarandon) is mysterious, witchy, funny, and unpredictable. Her natural warmth and playfulness are complicated by the fact that she is haunted by visitations from her past. As Emily and Sylvia grow closer, their worlds, dreams, and visions begin to overlap. As their friendship deepens, they must decide how much they are willing to risk— whether their burgeoning love is worth the ghosts that it seems to summon.”
Produced in association with Aubrey Plaza’s Evil Hag Productions and Cinereach, the film’s screenplay was co-written by Woods and Brandon Gardner, both alumni of the US comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade. The pair have collaborated previously on short films including David, starring Will Ferrell, which was nominated for the Short Film Palme D’Or at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival and winner of the Grand Prix at the Bilbao International Film Festivalof Short Films. The movie also reunites Woods and Gardner with actress Carganilla, who starred opposite Michael Peña in their short film, Bud.
Michael Sagol, Managing Director at Caviar, says: “Zach is both irrepressibly creative and irrepressibly funny. After seeing both of his short films we were floored by how well-crafted and moving the stories were, which led to us inquiring about what he was turning his attention to next – an amazing personal script called The Accompanist. We’re so proud to be bringing Zach’s first feature to life together.”
Mister Smith Entertainment’s David Garrett commented: “The script itself has a unique voice, and the attachment of Susan, Aubrey and Everly to the project will bring magic to an already beautifully honed story, in the hands of the talented Mr. Woods.”
The untitled project (aka Monopoly) was created by Roberto Patino and Cassius Corrigan. The duo wrote the pilot, which Alonso Ruizpalacios has come on board to direct.
