Marisela (born in Los Angeles, California) on April 24, 1966, is a Mexican-American singer.

Known as the 'Latin Madonna', Marisela recorded her first album at the age of 15 in 1984 and continues to release albums into the 21st century.

Career

Marisela's early career was helped immensely by the famous Mexican TV show of ''Siempre en Domingo'' by Raúl Velasco and then later expanding into the United States by the help of many other Spanish broadcasting shows such as ''Cristina'', ''Don Francisco'', ''Sábado Gigante'', and many other televised shows famous in the 80's and 90's. Marisela's first record release was titled ''Sin El'' a production of Enrique Elizondo and songs from the now well known Marco Antonio Solís who composed all the songs of her first hit album. Thanks to the wonderful song writer/composer and singer Marco Antonio Solis, who is one of Mexico's greatest music artists of all time, her romantic CD was an instant hit. "La Pareja Ideal" a duet between Marisela and Marco Antonio Solis is one of her most memorable songs, being promoted while the two were actually dating.

The romance ended of course because of the love triangle between Marisela, Marco Antonio Solis and Beatriz Adrianna who was also a beautiful rising artist whose album Marco Antonio Solis was promoting.

Marisela is one of very few singers who have managed to survive in the music business only by playing concerts in Mexican venues known as palenques.

In 1987, Marisela recorded a duet with Salvadorian singer named Alvaro Torres on a song called ''Mi Amor Por Ti'' (English: ''My Love For You''). The song was released on Torres' 1986 album ''Tres''.

Marisela has continued recording great hit songs like, ''Completamente Tuya'', ''Enamorada y Herida'', ''Sola con mi Soledad'', ''Ya No'', ''El Chico Aquel'', ''Mi Problema'' and many more.

In 2007, Marisela released a compilation of greatest hits entitled ''Noches Eternas'' with a Mariachi sound to it. She is preparing to release the most waited for production of ''No Soy Una Mentirosa'' this year.

Marisela is one of the artists that will always remain a favorite in the hearts of her audience. Now in the heart of a new generation to come that is through their ancestors listening to her songs and becoming fans of her all over again. She is now known as "La Dama de Hierro."

Alberto R. Cutié (born April 29, 1969 in San Juan, Puerto Rico), is an Episcopal cleric better known as ''Padre Alberto''. Cutié was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1995 and became an internationally recognizable name by hosting television and radio programs.

Cutié left the Roman Catholic Church in May 2009 after publication of lecherous photographs at the beach with a woman, and his subsequent admission of a two-year affair with that woman while a priest. Cutié has said that this revealed the theological differences that led him to Episcopalism: his desire to become a married priest. After suspension and removal from his parochial duties by the Archdiocese of Miami, Cutie joined the Episcopal Church. Cutie currently engages in pastoral work in an Episcopal parish in Miami, he was received as an Episcopal priest on May 29, 2010. Cutie's talk-show is aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Media appearances

Cutié, the middle child and only son of Cuban exiles, was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As a teenager he worked as a DJ.

He was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami in 1995, the first ordinand of the then-newly designated Archbishop John Clement Favalora (retired 20 April 2010). As "Father Albert", he was the first priest to host a secular talk show both on radio and television. He is also a regular columnist whose writings appear in many Spanish language newspapers throughout the United States and Latin America. He gained worldwide recognition with his television debut in 1999 as the host of ''Padre Alberto'' (and later ''Cambia tu Vida con el Padre Alberto''), a daily talk show televised on the Telemundo network. He later served as host of the weekly program ''America en Vivo'' on Telemundo International.

Beginning in 2002, Cutié hosted a weekly talk program called ''Hablando Claro con el Padre Alberto'', reaching millions of households throughout the United States, Canada, Spain and Latin America on EWTN Español, which is part of the global network founded by Mother Angelica. In July 2003 he officiated at Celia Cruz's funeral mass in Miami.

Cutié also published his first self-help book, ''Real Life, Real Love'' (''Ama de Verdad, Vive de Verdad'') in January 2006. It sold thousands of copies and became a bestseller in the Spanish language market. Cutié's second book, 'Dilemma: A Priest's Struggle with Faith and Love' ('Dilema: La Lucha de un Sacerdote Entre Su Fe y el Amor'), was released on 4 January 2011. The audiobook version in Spanish is being released through Recorded Books, LLC.He has been labelled as "Father Oprah" by various publications. He served as President and General Director of Radio Paz and Radio Peace Catholic 24-hour radio station beginning in January 2001. Padre Alberto hosted several radio programs, such as ''Al Dia'' and ''Linea Directa'', and directed the daily operations of Pax Catholic Communications for the Archdiocese of Miami, until the spring of 2009. On April 2, 2009, Cutié was named one of AARP's new Hispanic Ambassadors.

On January 4, 2011, Father Albert released his new candid memoir, ''Dilemma''. With the release of his new book he has appeared on ''Good Morning America, The View, Fox and Friends, The Joy Behar Show'', as well as, several national Spanish language television programs including ''Don Francisco Presenta, Despierta America and Al Rojo Vivo''. While some claim the book is "harsh" on the Roman Catholic Church, Father Cutie has explained that he did not write it with that intention. He has repeatedly said, "This is not an attack on the Church, but a memoir about my personal experiences for 25 years as a young man discerning, preparing and living in the Roman Catholic priesthood".

Personal life

In May 5, 2009, Cutié asked church officials for a time of reflection and a leave of absence from his media programs and pastoral work after publication of pictures in which Albert Cutié was shown fondling and kissing then-married Ruhama Buni Canellis at a public beach. As a result, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami removed Cutie from his parochial duties from the diocese on the grounds of committing public adultery and lechery against his vow of priestly celibacy. Later on, Cutie went onto decide to transfer his ministry as a married Episcopalian priest. Cutié asked the Archdiocese of Miami for some time to think and make a decision on where his life as a continuing priest was heading.

In May 11, 2009, Cutié was interviewed by Maggie Rodriguez of CBS' "The Early Show". He said that he was thinking about leaving the Roman Catholic Church for a woman he loves. He said that he respected the existing rule of mandatory celibacy in the Latin-rite of the Catholic Church and acknowledged that some Latin-rite priests remain dedicated to that calling. There are many priests in Communion with the Vatican who are married, but they are not members of the Latin-rite. He stated he did not want to become the "anti-celibacy priest".

In May 13, 2009, Cutié was interviewed by Teresa Rodríguez on the Univision show ''Aqui y Ahora''. Cutie said: ''"I do regret if my actions hurt people with all my heart"'', adding ''"[t]here are other ways to serve God. I am not the same man I was when I entered the seminary 22 years ago."'' By the end of the month Cutié announced that he had been in the process of discerning entering The Episcopal Church for the last couple of years, which in turn helped him consolidate marriage and his calling to serve God.

In July 11, 2011, Cutié aired his first English-speaking syndicated daytime talk show, ''Father Albert''. The show is produced by Debmar-Mercury, the same company that syndicates South Park. In the show, Cutie maintains his position to allow priests to publicly marry as an option as opposed to the vow of celibacy traditionally required by the Roman Catholic Church.

Reception into the Episcopal Church and Marriage

Father Alberto Cutié was received into the Episcopal Church on May 28, 2009, by the Rt. Rev. Leo Frade, the Cuban-born bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida, and became the administrator and pastoral minister of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in Biscayne Park, Miami, where he was licensed as a pastoral assistant. He was subsequently received as an Episcopal priest and instituted as priest-in-charge of the parish on May 29, 2010.

On June 26, 2009, Cutié and Ruhama Buni Canellis married in a church ceremony at St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church in North Miami Beach. Bishop Frade officiated, assisted by the Rt. Rev. Onell Soto (retired Episcopal Bishop of Venezuela) and several other Episcopal clergy.

Cutié is presently serving as the Priest-in-Charge at the Church of the Resurrection in Biscayne Park, Florida. On November 30, 2010, Mrs. Cutie gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Camila Victoria Cutié, and with her husband they are also the parents of Christian Norton, from her first marriage.
