Eva Longoria, Zoe Saldana, Jake Gyllenhaal and Christina Aguilera hit the red carpet ahead of the American Latino Media Arts award show in Pasadena, California - where Aguilera and other Latino stars were honored for their achievements in the entertainment industry. (SOUNDBITE) Christina Aguilera, singer, saying (English): "It feels great to be here today, my Latino fans have always been very supportive of me, so tonight it feels nice to kind of give back and to also be honored at the same time for my humanitarian efforts." The show's executive producer Eva Longoria said the evening highlights the talent in the Latino community. (SOUNDBITE) Eva Longoria, actress, saying (English): "We're doing a special tribute tonight with the Olympians. So many people go, 'Ryan Lochte's Latino, and Danell Leyva? Oh my god.'
