William Levy plays coy about Tyler Perry project, and the ladies

Actor and model William Levy brought his Gorgeous Man Routine to Glendale earlier this week to play bartender to a lucky few folks.

The third-place “Dancing With the Stars” alum, who was recently named People en Español’s “sexiest man of the year” and is sometimes referred to as the Latino Brad Pitt, made a SoCal stop Monday to greet fans, flex his biceps, serve new limited-release, fruit-flavored Pepsi Next sodas and generally exist as a gorgeous man.

After he popped by the Americana at Brand mall in Glendale, Levy gave the Ministry some insight on his upcoming projects and, of course, the ladies.

Ministry of Gossip: So, what are you working on right now?

William Levy: Right now, I feel very blessed, let me tell you, because I had a meeting with Tyler Perry a couple weeks ago and now I have the opportunity to lead in one of his next projects, which starts filming in September. It’s a romantic comedy and, you know, I love love.

MoG: Tell us about your role

WL: I can’t. I can’t. I wish I could! It’s very nice. Very good. Not allowed to say more.

MoG: Ah. Well, Tyler Perry. Are you a fan?

WL: Absolutely! I respect the guy a lot. He comes from nothing, you know? He worked his way up, which I respect a lot. It’s very nice I have the chance to work with him.

MoG: OK, subject change: Jennifer Lopez. You two were quite saucy together in her “I’m Into You” video. What was it like working with J.Lo?

WL: (Laughs.) It was professional! Strictly professional. Seriously. I can tell you she’s really down to earth. It was a nice video shoot. A really nice weekend. I’m definitely still her fan.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
