Celebrities head to amazing Latin American destinations to enjoy the sun.

Vacation Hot Spots

This revelation comes from producer Felipe Fernández del Paso, who spent the Easter holidays with the actress at her Los Angeles home and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction in "Frida," Hayek's 2002 movie about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

According to a statement Fernández gave to Mexican newspaper La Opinión last week, "the baby is about to turn six months and is so beautiful. But [Salma] does not want to baptize her, because she doesn't feel like it. I've seen her and I'm spending Easter week with her, four days at her house in Los Angeles."

Do you think it's true? Is baptism necessary? Comment on the blog!

The producer and art director apparently added that Salma, 41, wants Valentina to be known only through exclusive and glamorous coverage in magazines. However, Hayek didn't sell any exclusive pictures of her baby to any magazine, and opted to release an official picture through an agency.

If the baptizing comment is true, it's an irregular and questionable option for someone who comes from a Catholic country in its overwhelming majority and where baptizing newborns is tradition.

Valentina Paloma, Hayek's first baby, was born in September 21st. She's engaged to Francois-Henri Pinault, 44, French billionaire who runs a multinational company specializing in luxury brands such as Gucci and Puma.
