EOnline: Hey, Andrew McCarthy, don't look now, but a totally hot Latin guy is headed for your girl.
Inside sources reveal that Rosie Perez and Puerto Rican singing sensation Carlos Ponce are coming to NBC’s Lipstick Jungle for multiepisode arcs in the new season, which premieres Sept. 24.
I just got off the bat phone with Lipstick show runner Oliver Goldstick who confirmed the news and revealed inside details on their roles...
Lindsay Price, Lipstick Jungle
Carlos will play Rodrigo, a contractor and potential love interest for Lindsay Price’s character, Victory Ford (side note: an insider connected to Mario Lopez tells me he was up for the same role), while Rosie is playing Dalia, Lindsay’s passionate new publicist. She's "fiery and fiesty and the hottest publicist on the planet right now,” explains Oliver.
Salma Hayek
Oliver reveals that Rosie’s role was inspired by Salma Hayek, whom he worked with on Ugly Betty. “To Salma, nothing’s unreachable and no one’s untouchable,” Oliver explains.” That’s what I love about her, that can-do approach to everything, and I thought that was a great character to introduce to the show.”
Oliver also first met Rosie on Ugly Betty when she auditioned to play Hilda’s boss (a role which never came to fruition).
Andrew McCarthy in Lipstick Jungle
So does Victory's hot new lover mean McCarthy is on his way out? Definitely not, says Oliver. “He is still very much apart of Victory’s life via the business. Andrew is still a regular on the show, and Rodrigo is basically the opposite of Joe Bennett in every way.”
What’s that I smell? Oh yes, a very spicy love triangle! Yum.

Rosie Perez and Carlos Ponce Steam up the Jungle
Kren: Things are getting even steamier in the Lipstick Jungle next season when Rosie Perez and Puerto Rican singer Carlos Ponce heat up the action for several episodes.
Ponce will be giving Victory's ( Lindsey Price) main squeeze, Joe Bennett ( Andrew McCarthy), a run for his money as the sexy Rodrigo, a contractor who promises to be antithesis of McCarthy's bougie character. Perez, meanwhile, will play Dalia, a feisty publicist who's at the top of her game. Dalia was reportedly inspired by Salma Hayek, who's literally running the show around Hollywood these days.
Since Bennett isn't out of the picture, it can only mean that Lipstick will likely be melting with all the intrigue and attraction. How do you think these new show additions will handle Jungle life? The new roles were first reported by E! Online. -- Anna Dimond
