Multi-hyphenate Latin sensation Carlos Ponce has joined "Entertainment Tonight" as an on-air personality.

The Puerto Rican-born Ponce is a veteran of several Spanish-language soap operas including the telenovela "Sentimientos Ajenos," which ran on Univision. As a recording artist, he has a double-platinum album and several awards from Billboard magazine.

He has also appeared on episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Once and Again" and "7th Heaven." He is a guest star on the season premiere of the new ABC drama "Karen Sisco."

"Carlos has emerged as an incredible and multi-talented Latin entertainer who has won the hearts of millions of fans," says "ET" executive producer Linda Bell Blue. "We are extremely excited to have him join the show, where his global perspective on entertainment will be featured across many different formats."

Ponce, who made his "ET" debut on Tuesday (July 29), will report on film, television, music and fashion. His status as Personality means that he isn't an anchor (like Mary Hart and Bob Goen) or a substitute anchor (like Jann Carl or Mark Steines) or a correspondent (like Maria Menounos, Chris Booker and Steven Cojocaru) or a film historian/correspondent (like Leonard Maltin).
