Eiza González "Lola"

As Mexican pop superstars RBD exit the stage, their producer, Pedro Damian, is ready to usher in the next tween star: Lola. Portrayed by 16-year-old Eiza González, "Lola" is the lead character from the Mexican telenovela Lola - Érase Una Vez. Loosely based on the Argentinean soap Floricienta, the hit Mexican version is a mixture of "Hannah Montana," "Cinderella" and "The Sound of Music."
The story: while tutoring the young children of the wealthy Von Ferdinand family, the spunky Lola ends up forming a rock band. She eventually falls in love with the eldest brother, Alexander. But Lola's affections are sabotaged by Alexander's godmother, who wants him to marry her daughter so she can inherit the Von Ferdinand fortune. Heavy. Much lighter is the telenovela's winning soundtrack, which has has delivered catchy pop hits like Si Me Besas, Masoquismo and Se Muy Bien.
Whether González will follow with a second album as Lola is uncertain, but the telenovela star appears ready to become México's answer to Miley Cyrus, not Hannah Montana: “It's all part of a process, there's people who now know that Lola is really Eiza… so it's all part of the process."
