Salma Hayek: Spokesperson For New 'Got Milk' Campaign, 'The Breakfast Project' (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 02/23/2012 6:47 pm Updated: 02/24/2012 1:55 pm

Salma Hayek is the latest celebrity to join the 'got milk' mustache club. But unlike her predecessors, the bilingual actress will also serve as the spokesperson for a new campaign, The New York Times reports.

The Milk Processor Education Program, which funds the National Milk Mustache 'got milk?' campaign, is poised to announce its newest promotion, The Breakfast Project, on Friday.

Whereas past campaigns were directed toward certain demographic groups, The Breakfast Project will reach out to people of all ages nationwide. The main focus of the multimedia initiative will be to promote the health benefits of drinking milk and encourage people to drink a glass in the morning.

But with many Americans skipping breakfast in the morning, The Breakfast Project will also contain an underlying motive: to encourage people to make their first meal of the day a healthy one.

"There's lots of people who think breakfast is important, but lots of people who skip breakfast or don’t eat it regularly," chief executive Vivien Godfrey told the Times.

Promotions are set to appear in print, online and on television, so look out for upcoming ads featuring Hayek.

Check out the slideshow below to see other Latino celebrities and athletes who donned the famous white 'stache.

When I saw "frothy" and couldn't quite make out the next word except for seeing that it began with M, I thought "You can't put Salma Hayek in the same sentence as Rick Santorum!"

Everytime I see one of those milk mustache ads, it makes me think back to all the lewd comments me teenage buddies and I made whenever we drove by a billboard. Especially the one with Van Halen where they were COVERED in milk. Looks pretty good on Salma, and that's all I'm gonna say.

Hey, I know this is off subject but here it goes anyway.
I just found out today there's a town in China named PINGHU ( it's in the Sports Page of today's L A Times in an article about Jeremy Lin visiting his family's ancestral home town in China ).
I must find it and visit it the next time I'm over there.
Those Chinos are somethin' else.
I once found a town in Spain called ' La Mojonera '; it's in Andalucía ( OLE ), just outside Almería, overlooking the Mediterranean; it's beautiful and picturesque.

Salma and Sofia.
What a turn on they are with that milky substance above their lips.
I won't go any further, but most of you know what I'm thinking about.

What for? a Pub Woman would just try to get them deported. Jan Brewer doesn't want competition. Dark women seem to attract all the men.
