Your Career Is In Trouble When…
Filed under: Wilmer Valderrama > Z List
We really haven't heard much from Wilmer Valderrama these days.
And that's probably because he isn't doing much!
Well, he is doing "something" later this month.
Valderrama will be hosting an event to celebrate (Ricky Ricardo) Desi Arnaz's contributions to the world of entertainment.
The event, "A Tribute to Desi Arnaz: An Evening With Wilmer Valderrama" will take place on Saturday, May 24th in Jamestown, NY.
Valderrama will be headlining the Lucy-Desi Days 2008 which takes place from May 23-25.
Wonder how much he's getting paid???? $300? $500???
According to the press release, Wilmer "will share how Desi personally inspired his career and salute the man that paved the way for other Hispanic actors in America. With a collection of rarely seen film clips of Desi's career, this will be a night not to miss! The audience will also enjoy a question and answer session."
Wonder what type of questions Wilmer will get. If any.
And for the lucky fans out there, after the event, guests will have the opportunity to meet Wilmer at an after-party. The food will be catered by a Mexican taco place.
What, they couldn't even get Cuban food in honor of Arnaz?
Shame!

is Taco Hut really gonna cater? Because it would be worth going to eat their food. mmm Taco Hut
Actually you are wrong it was Desi…Look it up. He was a very, very smart man in the showbiz biz. He was the brains and Lucy was the talent. She has said that in countless interviews in the past. I am a I Love Lucy fan and I actually think Desi was a great comic talent too . So basically Perez shut the fuck up this would be a honor for anyone to do. Desi was part of TV history and will forever be love.
Taco Loco will be sponsering the event…free DIARHEREA for everyone!
eveyone gets green card celebration!
HELLO!!!!! He is HANDY MANNY !!!!!! Playhouse Disney Represent!! (what!? what!?)
No cuban food? Desi wants no fucking enchilada in his mouth vamos con unos platanos !
Ever heard of Handy Manny Dumb Ass. Your always talking shit about some one. I bet he make a hell lot more than you do. You fucking homosexual
Perezito my Love by Mexican food they mean Taco Bell Its Jamestown NY after all and you want Cuban food LOL Come on you know better Unless you are offering to go up there and cook it
OH MY. i grew up in jamestown. shame, something slightly amusing happens oncei move on to better things. but seriously people, a small towns a small town. weve all seem them. quit poking fun
HE'S CUTE AND VENEZUELAN
I LOVE WILMER
HELLO!!!! He is doing "something", he is the voice of the extremely popular Handy Manny cartoon! He has a steady job so I don't understand how you can say he isn't doing anything or that his career is in trouble.
I live in Jamestown too… holy shit alot of you mother fuckers read this from J-town.. yeah.. its funny he will be here.. He will prob be looking for some tail to rail or some snow to blow…If I get to talk to him, I'll tell him that his MTV show was FUCKING terrrrrrible
You're such a fucking racist. Just like a typical Cuban. You even think your food is superior.
Aww, come on Perez, he's doing something. I hear Fez every morning when my son watches Handy Manny.
Dude! That is seriously right near where I live… haha! It's about 2 hours from Buffalo!
I might just have to go and get some pics for ya, Perez!
Heh, I thought it was funny that there was mention of Lucy-Desi days on Perez Hilton. I thought it was even more hilarious to see all the people from Jamestown posting a response.
Jamestown is a funny town. There's some crazy people here!
There's "Betty The Bullfrog Whore": on you tube /watch?v=uDcqT2dhREk
Elvis: on you tube /watch?v=EnLaM73pL1w
The 3rd Street Cowboy: on you tube /watch?v=RMuqojxfnwE
More Cowboy: on you tube /watch?v=WUjGm4ShC2s
And Almight Tattoo's "Odditorium": on you tube /watch?v=ECdmWLbfyok
Perez, you should come to Jamestown for Lucy-Desi Days! You'd fit right in!
eh…i'd still do him
Right, because cuban food is soooooo different and much better than mexican.
Rice and beans!!! Oh, my…that's just classy!!!
viva FIDEL! ha,ha,ha,ha!!!! Ohhhhh….scarrrrrryyyyyy….call the CIA!
ha,ha,ha freakazoid balsero!
Re: love the info but hate perez –
you are right.
Apparently rice and beans is considered food.
Well Perez your social circles are far more fabulous than mine. What do you mean Wilmer isn't doing anything…he is the voice of Handy Manny on Disney. That's how me and my peeps roll!
He's Handy Manny on Disney..My son loves to watch it, so he is doing work
He's also doing the movie version of CHiPs and has a film called Days Of Wrath in post-prod right now. And he's still into the whole "celebrity who owns a bar/restaurant" bit — the latest in Vegas with Nick Lachey & Nicky Hilton at the Luxor. His career is just fine dumbass.
Desy Arnaz–perfect example of just being yourself and bringing honor to your profession, yourself. A man with an accent who was accepted and loved, admired, without the whining, the drama, the why me, the "I'm being discriminated against," all the crap that goes on today at the drop of a hat. We simply loved his shows, his talent; there was ribbing about the way he pronounced some things, and it was taken in stride, it was funny, loving. Boy, how others should learn from him. People have gone to crap.
Perez, time to tone down on your disappointment that YOU weren't asked to host the Desi show! It's not all about you! Nothing wrong with Valderrama! He's a hard-working, nice young man. I love him and wish him the BEST!
This is the most publicity our town has gotten since someone remember that Lucy grew up in Jamestown when she died. Actually it was Celeron but most people who live here like to ignore that fact.
Fez, I mean Wilmer, will show back up at some point. The nerd on a high school show is always stuck to that character the longest. He was damn good in Fast Food Nation. Let That 70s Show get to where it isn't on twenty channels and he'll find some roles.
he does hanyy manny show for kids and my 3 yr old loves him so if thats "d" list means disney then i would buy that ……people need to to start using their noodles instead of believing everything they read….
Jamestown was near Lucy's birthplace, not Desi's!
{{{{{{{{{{{{ Hez cute az hell }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

This is what happens when you have culturally ignorant ppl running the show. Desi Arnaz doesn't mix with MEXICAN. He was Cuban, and I say they should have tons of BACARDI flowing since he drank alot as well. HELLO. Who were the event planners for this one.
I live near this town Perez. There is no place to purchase Cuban food. No one in the area would even know what Cuban food was. You have to remember we are in the conservative North East and that the world doesn't revolve around you.
i think he is doing voice over work for the cartoon "handy manny" on the disney channel. he's the lead character–a handy man.
I'm from Jamestown, NY and I can say that what is known as "Lucy Fest" is a disgusting excuse for the scum of the town to come out and eat funnel cake, ride carnival rides that look like they are about to rust over in shame, and for the actual people who liked the two to dress up like them and are appauled at what a disgusting place Jamestown really is. Not to talk smack about the place that I'm from but, MY GOD Perez, you just put us on the map.
Okay…this cracks me up for several reasons. I work in Jamestown, NY. This is a small town that revels in these summer events. Lucy-Desi days are a big deal to honor their hometown gal. Wilmer showing up in town will probably have little effect or impact on the event, but it is nice of him to do it so cut him some slack. As for ripping apart the culinary options of Jamestown, this part is true. I have a feeling Taco Hut doing the catering has little to do with it being "Mexican" food and more to do with the fact that it is one of about three places to eat in downtown Jamestown. Oh Perez readers…if you only knew.
Perez, he was at the Forge & Mansion on South Beach this Wed night and was a total BORE. He would not let anyone speak to him. What a diva.
Perecito, I live close to Jamestown NY..Trust me THERE ARE NO CUBAN RESTAURANTS IN ERIE, JAMESTOWN, MEADVILLE UP TO PITTSBURGH!!! If there are any would ANYBODY kindly point the way??????????????????
He is doing something, he is the voice of Manny on Disney's Handy Manny!!! It's my son's favorite show
I live in Jamestown, NY and work downtown andn didn't know this - how bad is that!!??
haha thats sooooooo funny i was born n raised n jamestown, but had to leave the shiity city! in june it will b three years since i started my new life n the sunshine state, clearwater which iz absolutley gorgeous!! well there population iz like 25thousand if that the have one high school in the town, three middle schools itz sooo tiny LMAO and thats prolly the biggest thing that ever happend: lucy ball was born there in wilmer prolly the only "celeb" too visit…and where the hell iz he gonna party at??? there aint no clubs, vip i hope he has sum kind of security
nooo they dont have nooo cuban food either they dont have shit! perez we need 2 show them wat there missin out on…..
PS: I love you perez and teddy!!!!!!
My kid loves him - he's not out of the loop - he's Handy Manny!
Why is it a shame Perez? If it wasn't for Desi Arnez you wouldn't have the opportunity that has been given to you.
Desi Arnez was a pioneer for Hispanic people, you out of anyone should acknowledge and respect that…IDIOT…
Good for Wilmer, he is proud of his heritage and is showing his support.
He is Handy Manny and children LOVE that show!!
He is the voice of Handy Manny, a cartoon on Disney.
HE'S A BIG OLE' PIECE OF SEXY!!!
they couldn't get a Cuban to host it? are they trying to make it as if Desi was a mexican??? Perez you should have hosted this event!
No Cuban food! Lame. P.S. My grandmother lived down the street from Dezi in Cuba!
wilmer does work , he does the voice for handy mandy on the disney channel, i should know cuase i watch it with my 2yr old daugther!!! and she loves the show very much.
Fez is the voice of my daughters favorite cartoon Handy Manny, that's worth something.
I've always had a crush on Wilmer, but like a lot of Latinos, his youth and cuteness have rapidly morphed into just another stereotype for some, But I think Wilmer should pursue more serious roles to gain validity. I wish him well. Desilu was created and run by Desi and Lucy (Lucille Ball) and revolutionized t.v. by inventing, basically, the "rerun". Their programs were taped and produced. I thinks it's a nobel thing Wilmer is presenting because Desi and Wilmer both owe their careers to T.V. fame, they have common roots.
you might now hear a lot from wilmer but he is keeping busy and staying out of trouble unlike the rest of these so called "celebrities". he has a cartoon show handy manny that he does the voice for and he is amazing.
What career? The guy is lucky, that's all. No one's gonna confuse him with Gael Bernal Garcia, Jesse Borrego or any other talented actor. He has yet to prove himself.
As a western New York native, I am AMAZED that they even found a mexican restaurant to cater. (that isn't Taco Bell) They DEFINATELY don't have a Cuban restaurant in Jamestown New York!
he should open a chain of taco and burrito stands
I would love to see how many people would turn up to a tribute to Perez!!! His career is not hurting he has enouph money now to just chill if that's what he chooses to do and I believe he is part owner in a successful restaurant. He just happens to be a very big fan of Desi and is honored to host such an event. Perez stop being so bitter! It seems like you are getting meaner everytime I read something that you write! Jealous Much???!!!
Maybe he's not so obvious as he was in "that 70's Show", but this dude is laughing all the way to the bank as the voice of "Handy Manny", as anyone with kids knows. (A great respite from Bob the Builder, I must add, as someone with children.)
I am from jamestown! This is hysterical. Why anyone would want to come here is beyond me. Wilmer with the 3rd street cowboy, now that's a photo op.
Desi Arnez was a multi-Talented actor, composer and musician….Wilmer Valderamma…is just a mexican who wishes he could at least act. He tried to kiss black ass and be on "yo Mamma". But even they knew he was phony. Now he is trying this? Wilmer.. Give it up dude. YOU ARE DONE.
Re: Do It. –
Actually in Jamestown, Taco Hut and La Herradura are the only remote Hispanic restaurants in the area. I know it's sad, Jamestown isn't that big of a place either.
Re: chriscanuck –
LOL I LIVE in Jamestown. There are PLENTY of Hispanic people here, just not a lot of Hispanic run businesses.
Wilmer Valderrama is actually the voice of Handy Manny on the Disney Channel…so, he's not doing NOTHING…he makes a paycheck. Just not the way other hot actors do.
no cuban food?! What!!!!!!!!
OK! YOU ARE Z-LIST MY FRIEND….WILMER ISS AWEEESOMEE. A-LIST!! A is for awesome…Z is for ZOO…you belong in the zoo.
He actually does "Handy Manny" on the Disney Channel in the mornings it's a cartoon I imagine he gets PAID big bucks to do it.
theres always taco bell. this midget greaseball never had any talent. hes annoying. im pissed at the border guard who let him jump over the fence from mexico to the u.s.a go back to mexico where you were probably doing donkey shows for tips. go back to juarez. your 15 minutes are up oil slick.
Re: Nicole – LaHarradua has been closed down. They had illegal aliens
living in the restaurant.
Re: RichiePooDeNashVegas – actually, she was born in Celoron, not Jamestown. Which makes Lucy-Desi days here in Jamestown a joke.
he blows. he must be destroyed.
