it’s better than yo momma
”I didn’t want it to be preachy. I wanted the show to be something fun”

Yippy!
I will always love WILMER VALDERRAMA, who won me over as Fez on That 70s Show. Now, Valderrama has a new Latino role as the voice of cartoon handyman Handy Manny, whose talking tools teach kids about the Spanish language and Latin culture on a new educational series. Maybe he got tired of wasting his time on “Yo Momma,” because he seems to be taking his new project seriously.
Valderrama asserts, ”I didn’t want it to be preachy. I wanted the show to be something fun where subliminally kids could walk away with something. I love how spanerse it is. I think it is a show that screams what America is today.”
Oh, Wilmer. It only took a few months after moving to the U.S. from Venezuela for him to be speaking English comfortably, so it seems like he wants to offer kids the same multicultural opportunities. In other news, he recently blessed ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan’s romance with Samantha Ronson, insisting that he’s happy if they’re happy.
Wilmer, I know what you’re trying to do. You think this Handy Manny stuff shows your devotion to kids and education, which is very charming, and it might soften the blow of your laundry list of A-list Hollywood ex-girlfriends. You think we’ll forget how you told Howard Stern that you deflowered Mandy Moore, that Jennifer Love Hewitt was an “eight” in bed, and that your penis is more than eight inches long. Fat chance.
