Gloria Estefan: singer or spy?
http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/people/story/933477.html

When she sang ''I'd still do anything for you, I'd play your game,'' was Gloria Estefan crooning to the CIA? Could be. The Miami singer says the spooks once recruited her to be a spy. In an interview that aired Tuesday on Telemundo's Al rojo vivo con María Celeste, Estefan said she got the offer years ago, when she was working as an interpreter for U.S. Customs at Miami International.

''They realized that I was someone who could pass as a regular person without raising any eyebrows,'' she said. ''So the CIA approached me and wanted me to train in Atlanta.'' Estefan, whose father spent a year in a Cuban prison after being captured during the Bay of Pigs invasion, said her mother freaked out at the job offer.

So, asked reporter Jorge Bernal, did you ever wonder how it might have changed your life if you'd become a spy?

''You don't know,'' the cackling Estefan replied. ``Maybe I made the decision . What better cover than going around as a singer, talking to presidents, talking to kings, close to all the people they wanted access to? So, who knows? You don't know.''

1. Ms. Estefan doesn't realize the CIA may have also spoken with KC and the Sunshine Band,

(Shake your Booty) or Wayne Cochran (Going Back to Miami)! No doubt Presidents and Kings swooned just glimpsing their exquisite beauty, as well, and would have also been putty in their hands, due to their especial hotness.

Anyone know what King Gloria Estefan may have spoken with, beyond Juan Carlos? He seems to be available for super market openings, even, having just been in Miami for a dinner recently where chef Mario Batali got loaded and made an even more spectacular ass of himself, swearing as if he had to get it all out or he would explode, as per the article written on the event and shared with us here, in Latin America forum.

No doubt Gloria Estefan attended that world shaking event, also, just in case King Juan Carlos wanted to seek her opinion.



Why does Gloria Estefan repeatedly forget to mention to people her dear dad, José Fajardo, was a bodyguard and driver for Fulgencio Batista's wife?

Who knew _{George W. Bush} took time from his busy day to give Juan Carlos the thrill of a lifetime by barreling around his pig farm in Texas with him, in his pick-um-up? Cheers, and shut up. *Burp*

2. Sorry Judi, I simply have to disagree w/you on this one!

As much as I admire and respect your impeccable research and conclusions :* , I have to vigorously disagree w/you on this one. Chef Mario Batali acted perfectly appropriately in the company of such scum, even going so far as miming the relationship between the exiles and the king (by dry humping the leg of the guest of honor).

3. Wow, he did? Wearing his orange crocs? Well, now. That puts things in a different light!

When you get the chance, ya gotta go for the gusto! How he would have hated himself if he had held that one back.
