Diaz to Serve as Anchor/Correspendent of HLN’s “The Daily Share”

Posted on January 24, 2015 by Tom Castaneda

Rocsi Diaz is ready to share the wealth (of entertainment information).

The 31-year-old Honduran/Chilean television personality has joined HLN as an L.A. based anchor/correspondent for its The Daily Share.

Diaz will primarily cover entertainment, lifestyle, fashion and sports. She’ll also do red carpet coverage of events for HLN.

The Daily Share (airing weekdays, noon-5 p.m. ET) is hosted by Ali Nejad and Yasmin Vossoughian and aggregates social media news and lifestyle content of the day, giving viewers a digest of what people are watching, searching, playing, sharing, shopping and creating.

HLN, the CNN Worldwide network reaching more than 100 million U.S. households, rebranded itself in 2014 as the first all-screens home for social news and lifestyle content. HLN rips its headlines from social media and interacts with consumers.

Diaz departed Entertainment Tonight this month after a two-year stint as weekend co-host and daily correspondent.

“As both Rocsi and ET have grown and evolved over the years, she has elected to pursue hosting opportunities that are available to her at the start of next year,” a rep for the program said last September in a statement to Deadline. According to sources, the evolution involved more emphasis on news content at ET.

Diaz segued to ET after seven years with BET, where she co-anchored its flagship television show, 106 & Park and hosted the syndicated radio show 106 & Park Weekend Countdown along with her Rocsi On The Radio, heard in over 20 major national markets.

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

It’s a simple fact: Alessandra Ambrosio is one hot momma… And, now she has the men’s vote to prove it.

The 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel is the highest-ranking Latina on Maxim’s 2014 Hot 100 list, coming in at No. 7.

Ambrosio, who has two children with fiancé Jamie Mazur, is “so hot, it hurts,” according to Maxim.

The Victoria’s Secret model, who always dominates the catwalk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, is the spokesperson for the company’s PINK line.

Surprisingly, Ambrosio did not make last year’s list.

Nipping on the supermodel’s heels: scree siren Jessica Alba.

The 33-year-old half-Mexican American actress, who will surely set tongues wagging when she reprises her role as Nancy Callahan in the upcoming Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, ranks No. 8 on Maxim’s list of the world’s most beautiful women.

It’s a nine-spot improvement for Alba, who came in at No. 17 on last year’s list.

In all, 21 Latinas made this year’s list compared to 19 last year, when Selena Gomez was the highest-ranking Latina at No. 2. This year, the Spring Breakers star drops to No. 19.

Here’s the list of other Latinas on this year’s list:

Eva Longoria, No. 13
Christina Aguilera, No. 15
Selena Gomez, No. 19
Zoe Saldana, No. 29
Lea Michele, No. 31
Jennifer Lopez, No. 36
Shakira, No. 38
Demi Lovato, No. 40
Jordana Brewster, No. 52
Sofia Vergara, No. 54
Morena Baccarin, No. 57
Arianny Celeste, No. 59
Sarah Shahi, No. 67
Liz Hernandez, No. 72
Rocsi Diaz, No, 75

Lisalia Montenegro, No. 85
Victoria Justice, No. 86
Rebecca Garcia, No. 100

Bejo Takes Best-Dressed Latina Title Again at the Golden Globes

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

Bérénice Bejo has made a red-hot return to the Golden Globe Awards red carpet…

The 37-year-old Argentine actress and former nominee, who wowed in her first appearance on the Globes red carpet last year, looked simply irresistible at this Sunday’s event, earning Best-Dressed Latina honors for the second year in a row.

Bejo, at the awards show to support her latest film, The Past, and its Best Foreign Language Film nomination, wore a red Giambattista Valli gown complete with floral embellishments to this year’s show.

Four-time Golden Globes nominee Sofia Vergara may not have taken home the Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or TV Movie for the fourth straight year. But that didn’t stop the 41-year-old Colombian bombshell and Modern Family star from making her mark on the red carpet.

Vergara wore a black strapless Zac Posen gown with a sweetheart bodice and a full skirt that envelopes the carpet. She finished off her look with a turquoise necklace and soft locks.

Celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh wanted to give the star a classically simple yet chic blowout. “We wanted to keep Sofia looking modern and fresh and a chic, luxurious blowout lent her that,” he said.

Star Trek Into Darkness star Zoë Saldaña, a presenter at this year’s show, walked down the red carpet in a black gown from Prabal Gurung‘s spring 2014 collection. The dress featured hand-embroidered Swarovski crystals and painted brush strokes.

Entertainment Tonight correspondent Rocsi Diaz covered the action on the red carpet in a cream and white ruffle-paneled dress.
