The calendar is the work of the very talented photographer Omar Cruz (shot People en Espanol's “50 Most Beautiful”) so you can bet the shots are beyond alluring. It's befitting that the calendar was shot in the city of Miami, because the provocative poses will show the Venezuelan beauty in numerous wet, therefore transparent, outfits. Yes, Christmas will be full of cheer this year.

Espino even dedicated a full twitter page that gives updated information about the calendar. Espino, on her personal twitter page, tweeted her excitement about the end product

Our favorite Venezuelan/Colombian from 'That 70's Show' is back! This time, however, Wilmer Valderrama is putting his acting chops on hold to jump detrás de las camaras to direct an episode of Disney children's TV show 'The Imagination Movers' in New Orleans.

So how does he feel about sitting in the director's chair?

"I love it… I get to appreciate both sides now, being in front of the camera and behind the camera."

But Wilmer is no stranger to sitting in the hot seat. He previously directed the video for Omar Cruz & Frankie J's collabo "To The Top." If he keeps it up we may have the next Latino Spielberg on our hands! [AP]
