Lupita D'Alessio (born Guadalupe Contreras Ramos on March 10, 1954 in Tijuana, Baja California) is a Mexican singer and actress. She is nicknamed La Leona Dormida (a title of one oh her songs which translates to "The sleeping lioness") because of the constant theme of criticism of men in her songs and presentations.

She is the daughter of television presenter Poncho D'Alessio and was previously married to actors Jorge Vargas and Sabú (from Argentina) as well as to footballers Carlos Reinoso (from Chile) and Julio Canessa (from Uruguay), musician César Gómez and model Christian Rössen (from Germany). She has two sons with Vargas: Jorge, and actor Ernesto D'Alessio and a younger son, César, with César Gómez.

[edit] Biography

She started her career in showbusiness with her father Poncho D'Alessio who had a musical show called La Familia D'Alessio on a Tijuana television station. She then moved to Mexico City and released a single Mi corazón es un gitano, then she was selected to perform the theme song of the telenovela of Televisa titled Mundo de juguete. She was invited to take roles on Ana del aire and other productions in the 1970s and 1980s.

In 2000, after years of not being offered significant roles in telenovelas, she accepted one in TV Azteca with Ellas, inocentes o culpables, although she left the production after a month. This production was starred by Leonardo García, the son of Andrés García.

[edit] Scandals

In 2001, she married for the sixth time, this time to German model Christian Rossen (23 years her junior). Months later they separated and she accused her husband of being gay and having had an affair with Andrés García Jr. García Jr accepted he knew Rössen when they were both in the same model agency. Andrés quickly challenged D'Alessio and defended the honor of his son supporting him in filing a lawsuit against the singer. Leonardo, however, did not file a lawsuit.

In 2005, during a presentation of the play of her son Ernesto (José el soñador) Jorge Vargas, Ernesto's father, attended the play with actress Alejandra Ávalos. Lupita then accused Ávalos of having an affair with Vargas. After these accusations Vargas' wife filed for divorce and Ávalos decided to lawsuit against the singer denying any romantic involvement with Vargas. Ávalos, however, did not file a lawsuit.

In November 2005 Luipta D'Alessio was once again the center of attention of yet another scandal. This time, a few paparazzis who happened to be at the same time at the same nightclub as the singer, Acapulco's legendary Baby'O, forwarded some striking images to the press in which D'Alessio is kissing a young man, then a young woman and eventually ends up lifting up her own shirt. Lupita, upon being questioned by the reporters about her actions, she did not hesitate to answer: "Well yeah, I mean, it isn't strange to me, God says 'Love one another,' right? Is there a problem with that?" Later, D'Alessio blamed the show-biz press for making up scandals and conspiring against her.(see [1])

In theater she took the lead role in La novicia rebelde (the Spanish language version of "The Sound of Music").

In 2006, during a show in one of Mexico City's most renowned show-biz clubs D'Alessio, after having finished singing a song, got a round of applause and noticed that one of the spectators on the front row didn't applaud. Indignated, the singer turned to give him a dirty look and yelled to him "¡Chinga tu madre! (in other words, she told him off) I am an artist and I deserve respect, and if you don't appreciate my art, then qué chingados haces aquí? (what the hell are you doing here?)" She then immediately walked out and did not return at all that night.
