Reality TV, Spanish style

As I posted to Opera-L,

Gran Hermano VIP

Or, Celebrity Big Brother, Spanish-style.

Celebrities in this series include relatives of the famous - Diego Maradona's brother, the ex-husband of Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and, Ivonne Armand, granddaughter of Placido Domingo

En el programa...compite la mexicana Ivonne Armand, nieta del tenor español Plácido Domingo, con el que lamenta "no tener mucha relación" ya que, según relata en la prensa local, conoció sus vínculos con el cantante cuando cumplió 14 años.

Saltó a la fama después de que uno de sus desnudos fuera portada de una importante revista destinada al público masculino, según figura en la página web oficial del concurso.

Licenciada en Administración de Empresas Turísticas, esta mexicana se dedica actualmente al mundo de la interpretación y su gran sueño, según explica en la citada web, es ser cantante, aunque a pesar de sus genes, asume que no posee ese don.

Now, I don't speak Spanish so I apologise profusely in advance to the many people who do, but, I think, this translates roughly as

Competing in the programme is Mexican Ivonne Armand, granddaughter of Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo. she laments that she has not much of a relationship with him, finding out about her ties to him when she was 14.

She was previously famous for posing nude in an important magazine for men*, according to the official webpage of the series.

A lawyer with the Mexican Tourist Board, her dream is to be a singer, but, despite her genes, she does not have that gift.

(Cynically, I say, she seems to have the gift for cashing in on Grandpapa's name...)

Updates may or may not be supplied, depending upon whether a) I can be bothered and b) I can understand.
