J-Lo & G-Lo make influential list

Jennifer Lopez and George Lopez are amongst Time Magazine's 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America, a list which appears in the new August 22 edition.
J-Lo was chosen for embodying the American dream of success through hard work and ambition, the magazine said. G-Lo, whose George Lopez show on ABC has earned solid ratings since its 2002 debut, is one of only three Latinos who have starred in lead roles on network sitcoms starring Latinos, notes Time.
Also making the list is actress Salma Hayek. Time writes: "She plays the show-biz game like a true scrimmager, dodging, scrambling and tackling much bigger obstacles."
Alberto Gonzales, the nation's first Hispanic attorney general, also made the cut for helping President Bush "build a more muscular executive branch."
Other Time Top 25 Hispanics include Cuban-Irish writer Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Cuban-American Senator Mel Martinez and Mexican-American filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.
