“LATV Does Hollywood” will bring Latino urban audiences a Latino market oriented scoop. For August, the show includes interviews with Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville, Sofia Vergara, Matt Damon, Kate Hudson, Alias’ Mia Maestro.  "LATV Does Hollywood"  will feature mainstream films and promote Latino cinema.
