    Gilles Marini Says He’

    Gilles Marini Says He’s “Blessed to Have the Chance to Be a Father – It’s Magical” By Kristin Mattern French-born actor Gilles Marini has made a lasting impression on American fans. He’s memorable for his beloved turn as Dante in Sex and the City: The Movie, his recurring roles on shows like Brothers & Sisters, Ugly Betty, and Nip Tuck, and his stellar appearances on the 8th and 15th seasons ofDancing with the Stars. As evidenced by his diverse resume, his brave and beautiful man seems daunted by nothing. Who can forget his full frontal nude scene as Dante? The former model is currently gracing the small screen as Angelo Sorrento on Switched at Birth, where he tackles the challenging role of an estranged father who has reentered his daughter’s life — a role that’s close to this family man’s heart. Related Link: ‘Brothers and Sisters’ Star Celebrates One Year Wedding Anniversary On ABC Family’s hit show, Marini plays the biological dad of Bay Kennish, who comes back into her life after abandoning his wife Regina when he thought she had cheated on him. A father himself, the star says that being a parent doesn’t affect how he plays the character: “I am the polar opposite of Angelo when it comes to being a father. I think he just landed on this planet and became one sixteen years too late. It’s understandable to see why he is the way he is, based on his past and he’s childhood, but that also makes him human and interesting.” Marini and wife Carole, who married in 1988, have a son Georges and a daughter Julianna.

REAL MEN CAN DANCE, BUT NOT IN THAT COSTUME: LATTER-DAY SAINTS‟ PERCEPTION OF GENDER ROLES PORTRAYED ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS” By Karson B. Denney A thesis submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communications Department of Communications Brigham Young University April 2011 Copyright © 2011 Karson B. Denney All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REAL MEN CAN DANCE, BUT NOT IN THAT COSTUME: LATTER-DAY SAINTS‟ PERCEPTION OF GENDER ROLES PORTRAYED ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS” Karson B. Denney Department of Communications Master of Arts This thesis attempts to better understand gender roles portrayed in the media. By using Stuart Hall‟s theory of audience reception (Hall, 1980) the researcher looks into dance and gender in the media to indicate whether or not LDS participants believe stereotypical gender roles are portrayed on “Dancing with the Stars.” Through four focus groups containing a total of 30 participants, the researcher analyzed costuming, choreography, and judges‟ comments through the viewer‟s eyes.

    ALEXA PENAVEGA AND REAL-LIFE HUSBAND CARLOS PENAVEGA DANCE THEIR WAY TO AN UNEXPECTED ROMANCE IN ‘ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING NOVEMBER 12, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL Part of the Network’s Annual, Popular “Countdown to Christmas” Programming Event Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids franchise) and her real-life husband Carlos PenaVega (“Big Time Rush”) star in “Enchanted Christmas,” a new, original movie premiering Sunday, November 12, (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual, popular “Countdown to Christmas” programming event. Young widow Laura Trudeau (Alexa PenaVega) was a remarkable dancer. Now working as a project manager in Los Angeles, she is tasked with renovating a dilapidated lodge in her hometown of Rosemont, Utah and have it ready by Christmas Eve. She is stunned to discover it’s the same lodge where she and her former love and dance partner Ricardo Archuleta (Carlos PenaVega) performed each Christmas. While surveying the property Laura comes face-to-face with Ricardo and is shocked to discover he is rehearsing the show’s grand finale with his new dance partner Taylor (Chelsie Hightower, “Dancing with the Stars”). When Taylor has an audition abroad, Laura temporarily steps in and finds herself back in Ricardo’s arms. Feelings begin to resurface in the hope of rekindling their romance when Taylor returns with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ricardo to go on tour with her. Laura, not wanting to get in the way of Carlos’ dream, encourages him to take the job. Now with both the hotel opening and the show in jeopardy, Laura has to make some difficult decisions, both personally and professionally.
