Eddie Piolin Sotelo

DogFIGHTS and Mexican tough guys worked great together in the hard-boiled drama "Amores Perros" a few years ago. Now Disney is using those elements plus several more family-friendly ones in its new release, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." Will the combination make viewers sit up and beg for more? Andy Garcia, George Lopez and Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo sat down recently to talk about making the dramatic comedy, which opened Friday.

THE woman on the phone with Los Angeles' top-rated morning DJ confides that she used to work as a prostitute. On the air, she sounds young and conflicted. She has tried to get out of the life, she tells the radio host in Spanish. But her current job in retail just doesn't pay, and she's tempted to sell herself again. The woman's call comes in just before 10 a.m. on a recent day at the Glendale studios of La Nueva, KSCA-FM (101.9).
