William Levy Signs On To Star In 'La Tempestad' Telenovela

William Levy has signed to star in a new telenovela, "La Tempestad," which will begin filming in February 2013, airing on Televisa. The show will film in Mexico under director Salvador Mejía.

This is the third project the two have worked on together. Levy will play Captain Fabre.

During a press conference in Mexico City announcing the series, Will also said he may be appearing in a four-week run on Broadway in "Chicago." Can you imagine Levy being in New York for an extended time? I'd be camping by the stage door every night. Oh, good god googmooga, the possibilities!!! *

William Levy At Last Tackles Hollywood: Three Upcoming Roles!

Congrats to William Levy for at last breaking through in Hollywood! It's about damn time! He will soon begin filming roles in three flicks: Addicted, Tyler Perry's Single Mom's Club and Rio Sangre.

Will has begun shooting scenes in Atlanta for Addicted, an erotic thriller based on the book written by best-selling author Zane. In that film, he will share the screen with Boris Kodjoe. He joins Sharon Leal, Tasha Smith, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Tyson Beckford.

After Thanksgiving, Levy will also begin filming scenes for Single Mom's Club (god, I hate when director's put their own names in the film's title; so pretentious...). He will play a character named Manny. Let's hope that Manny translates to "man" and that he takes off his shirt. A lot. Britches, too, would be just fine, thanks.

In the horror-western Rio Sangre, Levy has the role of Brujo. Chris Wyatt is directing. The flick is being written by William Bivins and Ken Karn. Alex Vega also is attached to star.

Both films are expected to be in theaters in 2013. Most recently Levy recurred on VH1′s Single Ladies and starred in Univision’s Sortilegio and the telenovela Triunfo del Amor.

Of course, earlier this year, he brought ABC's dusty ole Dancing With the Stars some of its highest ratings ever. Can't wait to see William's star rise high! *

People En Espanol Does Due Diligence: William Levy Is 2012's Sexiest!

As if we didn't already know, People En Espanol has again deemed William Levy its Sexiest Man Alive for 2012—for the second year in a row! And once again, he graces the cover of this week's mag! The news was revealed at the People in Spanish Festival in San Antonio, where our fave Cuban actor talked about his ongoing on & off relationship with actress Elizabeth Gutierrez and confirmed that, for now, no wedding is in the cards.

And what makes a partner sexy? Levy reveals that being been raised by his mom, aunt and grandma was the best training to figure out what women want.  "I grew up seeing what a woman likes, dislikes, what my mother wanted in a man and could not find," 32-year Will says. "It was very important to know how to please a woman, which worked in my favor."

David Zepeda, Fernando Colunga, Prince Royce, Fabian Rios and Sebastian Rulli also appear in People's special edition. For a full list, see PeopleEnEspanol.com here.

Happy Birthday, William Levy!

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY TO THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE, WILLIAM LEVY, on August 29!

William Levy Hawks Pepsi: I'll Drink To That!

William Levy is inviting America to "have a fling with flavor" with the launch of two new Pepsi tastes. Available only this summer, Pepsi Cherry Vanilla and Paradise Mango flavors were revealed by Will at The Americana at Brand in Glendale, Calif. Sounds utterly revolting, doesn't it?

Levy says (but, of course, didn't really say) via a press release: "Summer is the perfect time to dial up the flavor in your life, from adventures to what you eat and drink, which is why I'm excited to help Pepsi launch two new flavored colas inspired by my favorite season. I've been a Pepsi drinker all my life." Yeah, yeah, just smile for the camera, my beautiful man. *

At Last: William Levy Lines Up A Hollywood Film Project: 'Boom Town'

At last... William Levy has been cast in a Hollywood film. Scheduled for release in the summer of 2013, he will star in Boom Town, alongside Chris Molina, Chris Cooper and Danny Trejo. The "western drama" will have Will in the role of businessman Diego Coronado, who has an 8 year old daughter, Chloe (yawn!!).

Levy says of the flick, "I love Boom Town because it is a love story between a man and a woman, and about the unbreakable obligation between a parent and child. This is about a man whose daily struggle to become a hero is something we all dream of when we are kids." (Uh, I'm not sure that quite made it out of Spanish into English... kind of makes little sense, eh?)

The film is set in Tijuana in 1905, when it was considered a fashionable place of the Old West, where there was plenty of drinking, gambling and women. Coronado's (Levy) tranquility is disturbed when his daughter is kidnapped and the bar is robbed, which calls on a band of gunmen to rescue Chloe.

Director Oscar Torres says that Boom Town "is a great story that will appeal to men and women alike. The men love the action and women love the charm and talent that someone like William Levy brings to the big screen." Hey, Oscar. Don't doubt for a minute that there are plenty of men also loving William's charm and talent! *
