Last night was a great success for BeChicMag.com! We had access to profile the red carpet premiere of “Julie & Julia” starring Meryl Streep as notable chef Julia Childs and Amy Adams as blogger/author Julie Powell, respectively. In true A-list fashion, Streep arrived late to the premiere. For BeChic TV, we had the pleasure of speaking with Deborah Rush who plays Julia Child’s (Streep’s) best friend in the film and actor Bob Balaban who said I look like Hilary Swank! We were also thrilled to speak with the first Latina to be named America’s Next Top Model Jaslene Gonzalez! Julie & Julia hits theaters August 7th!
Check out this promo we did for BeChic TV! It’s only 28 seconds long.

Sure, you may have seen photos of Jennifer Lopez on the set of her upcoming film The Back-Up Plan. But take another look at the image to the left. That’s not Jenny from the block. It’s Joselyn Martinez- who was a stand-in for J.Lo during eight days of shooting in New York City.
“As a stand-in you get to rehearse all of the scenes the actors will do,” says Martinez. “It was mostly 12-13 hour days. I wore high heels everyday because Jennifer used them and we have to be the same height. I still have nightmares about running late to set.”
The Back-Up Plan- which hits theaters in January 2010- is a romantic comedy where Jennifer Lopez’s character conceives twins through artificial insemination and then meets the man of her dreams on the same day!
The Washington Heights native worked close to Jennifer and gave us the 4-1-1 on the star’s work ethic. “I noticed she gets really focused even when it’s a circus around her. When she was acting, there were cameras all around taking pictures of her,” says Martinez. “I loved it when she went to her phone to text after a scene. I share her love for texting!”
J.Lo is known to bring her clan to work and last week was no different. Her sister Lynda was on set with her baby. Joselyn says Mama Lopez was there everyday and Marc Anthony stopped by a few times, but no signs of their twins.
“On the last day, when she wrapped, and a birthday cake was brought out for her, she came over and we hugged and she thanked me,” says Martinez who is working on the release of her own album “Movimiento Subterraneo” and has a role in an upcoming film.
Grammy award-winning duo Calle 13 gave one heck of a performance at SummerStage in Central Park on Saturday. We got a chance to sit down with the Puerto Rican natives Residente (Rene Perez) and Visitante (Eduardo Cabra) at the Renaissance Hotel to talk about their upcoming documentary “Sin Mapa” (Without a Map). The film captures the socially and politically conscious brothers’ journey across South America as they explore indigenous music and culture.
“Latinos need to be more united and more informed to what’s going on throughout Latin America,” says Residente. “We want to make more documentaries on different countries because in this one we were only able to cover a few. Mexico needs its own documentary. So does Brazil.”
Although they’re known to have fun with their explicit lyrics, Calle 13 also raps on race, social class, pop culture and politics in a genius and satirical manner. In their current album, the group has a single with Panamanian salsero Ruben Blades called “La Perla”.
