If you are in Rio this weekend, there is a new after hours party happening at Fosfobox tomorrow morning. The project put together by Rafa Guimarães and my friend DJ Felipe Lira is called Pista 2, and it starts at 8am on Sunday mornings. There is a warm up set by a new DJ, followed by music by Felipe Lira and a guest DJ. Felipe emailed me and told me the vibe at the first party which took place last weekend was great, so make sure to check it out. Tomorrow the guest is DJ Ana Paula. If you are ...

Heartthrob Caio Castro is only 19, but is already destined to become a big TV star in Brazil. He is part of the cast of the soap Malhação, and landed the cover of the latest issue of teen magazine Capricho. Visit Capricho for a picture gallery of Caio Castro. ...

In an exclusive interview today to Folha Online, top model Isabeli Fontana got a chance to explain that unfortunate moment on Monday night when she said she would not like to have a gay son. "Everyone can interpret things the way they want to. What I said is what I think. I love gays. I have tons of gay friends. They are the most fun people I know. I said I would not want to have a gay son because I know how much prejudice they suffer. And no mother would like to see her son suffer." The sad ...

I have been meaning to post these scans of Malvino Salvador from Joyce Pascowitch magazine since São Paulo Fashion Week. I guess better late than never. All pictures by Luis Crispino. More after the jump. Now I just wish he would start taking his shirt off in the new soap A Favorita. What is the point of casting him and then not undressing him on camera? ...

Am seriously wondering if this is the video for Mariah's new single or her audition for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. As if there weren't enough stereotypes in the video, she had to throw in a scene with a dolphin in the end. That is why I like her. ...

It is a double dose of Brazilians: Aline Weber and Caroline Trentini are featured in fall ad campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana. I would love to see them together in a major editorial. ...

Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo, who has in the past been regarded as the best player in the world, was caught in his Calvins in Ibiza. I know he is still recuperating from an injury suffered back in February, but it is not a pretty sight. I am almost feeling sorry for the trannies he picked up in Rio a few months ago. I guess neither Armani or Calvin will be knocking on his door anytime soon. Image via The Sun. ...

Photographer Didio sent me these pictures of model Felipe Torretta last night, and I just had to share them with you guys. Felipe is with L'Equipe Brazil. More after the jump. Pictures courtesy of Didio. ...

I don't plan on dwelling on the fact that model Isabeli Fontana clearly stated on national TV on Monday night that she would not like to have a gay son, but since many of you asked me to post the video of the interview, here it is. Isabeli: I wouldn't want one of my sons to be gay. It just a minimum amount of prejudice. I have many friends who are gay, and I love them to death, but I wouldn't want to have a son turn out to be gay. Guest: But if you did you would have to accept it. Isabeli: ...

The first candidates to the 2008 Mr. Gay Brazil title have been selected: 23 year old Patrick Scalco will represent Belo Horizonte, and 28 year old Jueves Tiedt will represent Blumenau at the national finals which take place in São Paulo in September. Brazil and the US signed a bilateral agreement which will allow for 50% more flights between the two countries, and for more companies to operate the routes. Thanks to the new agreement, 154 weekly flights will be allowed between Brazil and the US, as opposed to the current 105 flights. Implementation will be complete by ...

Think pink! At Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Calvin Klein, head to toe pink looks hit the runway. I would aim for a softer approach to the color come next spring. Balance all that pink with a cobalt blue anorak, blazer, or cardigan. The color made an appearance at almost every show this season. Hats were everywhere. Get used to them. Is the skinny jean era coming to an end? Designers such as Kris Van Assche, Viktor & Rolf, and Roberto Cavalli, offered extra leg room for spring. Pajama pants were also seen at Bottega Veneta and Dolce & Gabbana. Tailored denim was taken to ...

I hope I managed to catch Leona Lewis doing a promotional concert later this month when I am in New York. Here is a clip of her performing at the NRJ Music Tour. ...

São Paulo Pride was celebrated over a month ago, but the vast majority of pride parades around the world took place yesterday (when they were actually supposed to). Ex-sargeant Fernando Alcantara, who left the Army last week after coming out publicly on the cover of a magazine, was the guest of honor yesterday at the pride parade in Brasília. Considering he was arrested for wearing a basic camouflage t-shirt in a TV show, I am not surprised he is the only one in the picture not in camo. Canadian military personnel marched in the pride parade in Toronto for the ...

The ad spot for the new Volkswagen Gol debuted last night on Brazilian TV. ...

During São Paulo Fashion Week photographer Didio shot Carlinhos Freire for the cover of Junior magazine. Since I am not allowed to unveil anything about the spread yet, I am posting a couple of pictures I took of him by the pool after the shoot. His body is unreal. More after the jump. I will post images from the spread as soon as am allowed to. The issue of Junior with Carlinhos will hit newstands by late July. ...

While Gisele graces the cover of GQ in the US, Ana Beatriz Barros takes over GQ in Italy. Strangely enough both spreads look almost identical even though Gisele was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, and Ana was photographed by Richard Kern. The sexy cover of Italian GQ with Ana Beatriz is after the jump. The magazine also has a feature on soccer star Alexandre Pato. If any of you has a copy of it, please send me scans. ...

Guess which Brazilian model strolled down the Miguel Vieira runway in São Paulo in nothing but a backpack and a golden swimsuit? The answer is after the jump. Alex Schultz, who was certainly THE male model of the season in Brazil. ...
