Vinci Alonso wants to make on thing clear: he is not gay!

And we mean this in both the homosexual sense of the word and the happy sense of the word, as the Viva Hollywood contestant proved last night. Upon being told that the stars of this VH1 reality show would be performing a gay scene on camera, Vinci locked himself in the bathroom and cried.

Seriously:

Viva Hollywood premiered on VH1 last night - and it may be our new favorite reality show. Sorry, Flavor of Love.

The series pits hopefu, Spanish-language soap opera stars against one another. And at the end of every show, the two nominated for elimination actually film a death scene, at the end of which the judges tell the booted contestant that he or she is "muerta."

It's terrific stuff. Check it out now at our Viva Hollywood series premiere recap.

Jenn Pinto says: Viva Hollywood!

Viva Hollywood premieres Sunday night at 10:30 on VH1. You know you're in for an exciting series when the network itself doesn't hide what will be taking place during it.

Our cast of fiery wannabes will live together, fight together, make love together... while competing for the coveted title and a Hollywood prize package that includes a contract with Telemundo, the biggest telenovela production company in the United States.

Take that, Big Brother!
