Clearly Dania Ramirez didn’t want to steal any thunder away from the high-profile stars who popped the question last month. But it turns out that the former Heroes star is now engaged too and quietly mentioned the good news in a recent interview with InStyle.

"This is probably the first time I’m even discussing it," Ramirez told the magazine. "We just decided to spend the rest of our lives together. It wasn’t anything extravagant."

The lucky guy happens to be Bev Land, Dania's longtime sweetheart and an accomplished writer/director. He clearly knew how to sweep the 32-year-old off her feet, popping the question with a ring made of rose gold and white diamond.

No wedding date has been announced yet, but we get the feeling Ramirez will be keeping her nuptials low pro. And if you ask us, in a world full of televised engagements and marriage press releases, that's rather refreshing.

Sofía Vergara definitely knows a thing or two about effortless beauty. The "Modern Family" actress has been named the new face of CoverGirl and will begin appearing on campaign ads in January 2012. The Colombian beauty joins the prestigious list of Latina CoverGirl's including former Miss Universe Amelia Vega, Dania Ramirez, and model Elsa Benitez.

Speaking about her new gig, Sofía recently told People en Español:

"Imagine, I am super thrilled. Since I can remember I have always wanted to be a CoverGirl. Since I was a little girl I have always loved playing with make-up, so I think this campaign is just perfect for me."

We think she was born for the role! Congrats!

What a difference three weeks makes. At the end of January, we reported that Dominican actress Dania Ramirez was days away from signing on to the new Charlie’s Angels TV series. Now it looks like her part has been handed off to Aussie actress Rachael Taylor. But that doesn't mean there won’t be any Latinos on the show. According to Access Hollywood, Puerto Rican actor Ramon Rodriguez has been cast as the Angels’ main man, Bosley.

Fresh off his role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and in the upcoming flick Battle: Los Angeles, Ramon has proven himself to be very capable in the action genre. We imagine he'll be packing heat in Angels, too.

In addition to Rachael Taylor, Charlie’s other femme fatales will include Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights and General Hospital regular Annie Ilonzeh. The voice of the mysterious Charlie will be portrayed by veteran actor Robert Wagner, who we all remember as Number 2 from the the Austin Powers trilogy.

Produced by Drew Barrymore and written by I Am Number Four scribes Al Gough and Miles Millar, Charlie’s Angels has some major backing behind it. But will it make the 2011 primetime schedule? Right now it is still technically a pilot, which executives have the option of passing on if they are not impressed. But with talent like this, we can't imagine that would happen.

Even though the fall TV season is roughly eight months away, casting agents are frantically lining up the small screen’s next batch of hot young stars. One series that seems to be generating quite a bit of buzz is the reboot of the 1970s classic Charlie’s Angels. So far, two of the lady leads have been confirmed and Dominican actress Dania Ramirez may be in the running to fill the third slot.

Known for her roles in Entourage, The Sopranos and Heroes (for which she was nominated for an ALMA Award), Dania’s been known to be both tender and tough onscreen, traits that should come in handy when she signs on to Charlie’s team.

According to TV Squad, a makeup artist on the Angels set leaked Dania casting rumors late last week. Since then, two of the leads have been confirmed — General Hospital star Annie Ilonzeh and Friday Night Lights headliner Minka Kelly. That still leaves an opening for Angel No. 3.

Though Transformers actress Rachael Taylor has also been rumored to be the third Angel, we’re holding out hope for Dania. We think she'll make a spectacular Marisa Valdez.

Dania Ramirez is in good company. Not only does she get to hang out with the boys of HBO's "Entourage" during the series' final season, but the Dominican beauty also graces the August issue of Maxim magazine. Cover Girl? Recurring role on an A-list celebrity studded smash? We have to say, Dania is WINNING!

When the mag finally caught up with the busy starlet, Ramirez weighed in on her Maxim shoot, the bevy of beauties on Entourage this season, and of course, the party life!

On her shoot for Maxim:

"I’m psyched! I loved being photographed in the sand. I’m Dominican, so I’m a beach girl."

The latest addition to the "Entourage" cast, the lovely Dania Ramirez, is now the sexy new love interest for Turtle, played by A.J. Ferrara. It wouldn't be an HBO series if there wasn't some kind of chisme in the mix: Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who played Turtle's former girlfriend, had an actual off-screen relationship with Ferrara that came to a halt at the end of last year.

It looks like A.J. is ready to date again; he was recently spotted with Dania at West Hollywood hotspot Madeo! Was Ferrara just getting to know his new co-star, or are sparks flying off camera?

When asked if she was dating Ferrara, Ramirez responded "Well, I’d rather just talk about the character than who I’m dating or not dating.” That's not exactly a denial!

Maybe A.J. is into dating his Latina co-stars. We can't blame him! Fans will have to watch and see if their onscreen romance is more than just good acting...

Season 7 of "Entourage" is set to air June 27 on HBO. Executive producer Mark Wahlberg confirmed that after the seventh season, six more episodes will air in 2011 concluding the series, which will then be followed by a film adaptation!

Don't we always wonder what the opposite sex is thinking?

Askmen.com knew the deal and decided to prompt online users to vote on the Top 99 Women of 2009. Don't expect to see an around-the-way chick on this lista because this is all about Hollywood swagger! Eva Mendes' undeniable sex appeal and classic glamor owned the number one spot, but there were plenty of other Latinas that measured in as the most desirable beauties of the year (and no, J.Lo was not one of them).

Marking #15 was Jessica Alba. No doubt, her flawless figura and sultry sonrisa demands MILF attention.

Can't get enough? Check out the other ten Latinas that made the list below the jump!

We all know Latinas are the sexiest women in the world...

And FHM seems to think so too! The mag recently shouted-out this season's sexiest mujeres in their "Fall TV's Hottest Stars" list, which included three Latina actresses who have taken over prime-time with pleasure. Pint-sized actress, Eva Longoria hit the ten spot with her veteran swagger as Gabriele on "Desperate Housewives." She may have gotten knocked-up in this new season (and possibly in real life), but la chica has been known to heat-up Wisteria Lane with her affairs and romantic encounters.

Landing one notch ahead of Eva is "Heroes" superstar Dania Ramirez. The Dominicana may not have four years of prime-time action under her belt, but she is a pro at flexing her superpowers as the bad ass Maya Herrera. With the ability to cast deadly illnesses at anyone that crosses her path, Dania's character has proven that she should not be messed with!

Just like fictional mafia hija Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who stole the fifth spot on the sizzling list. The half-Cuban actress was out of commission after "The Sopranos" died-off, but the temptress is coming back for more as a guest star on the hit show "The Entourage." We can only imagine what the five fellas think of our bombshell.

Bueno now that we gave you the run down, you decide who deserves to trump the list! Need help deciding? Check out more bangin' pictures of these ladies below the jump!
