We all know how crappy the movie award shows have been this year, but lest anyone forget, the music industry is also in critical condition–and it’s not even on strike! This year’s Grammys won’t have the celebratory air of years past, as sales continue to plummet and stars like Amy Winehouse have pesky rehab stints […]

How do I know 2008 will be the best year ever? We’re just three days deep into it, and already there’s a juicy bit of musical chisme shaking up my world. According to Mexican paper La Reforma, Fergie Ferg and her handlers have reached out to the coolest norteño band on the planet, Los Tigres […]

Here’s an artist you’ll be seeing a lot more of in ‘08: Cali’s own Omar Cruz. The Mexican/Colombian MC will finally drop his album with BYI Entertainment/Geffen early next year, and he’s already getting us hyped with the first single–it features The Game and you can listen to it now on Cruz’s MySpace page.

Check out the music video for “Fuego,” the new single from Disney girl group The Cheetah Girls. Back in September, the ladies dropped TCG, their first album sans fourth member Raven-Symone. Now the lineup is down to former-3LW members Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailón–I guess their third member ended up in no man’s land with […]

Last week in Jennifer-Marc baby news, I read that the expecting couple picked out a pair of matching pink and blue onesies from the oh-so-posh LA baby boutique Petit Tresor.

Thinking myself well-versed in the tabloid-thwarting ways of celebs, I thought it was just a clever ploy to keep us guessing about their baby’s mystery gender. […]

Ok, so the “Mi TRL Awards aren’t a real ceremony per se, but they’re still a good excuse for MTV Tr3s to throw a party. As such, they’re a good excuse for me to bring out the jaded live-blogger in me and get to hatin’. Heeeeere we go!

Who’s hotter: José or Teddy? You decide.
I’ve been blessed to see some amazing concerts in ‘07 (The White Stripes at Madison Square Garden, La Mala at S.O.B.’s, MIA at Terminal 5 and Ojos de Brujo at Highline Ballroom are a few highlights), but there have been terrible ones, too. One of them, oddly enough, […]

With just one week left before MTV reveals the five new members of Menudo on the season finale of “Making Menudo” (Tuesday, November 20 at 3:00pm), I got my hands on free downloads of the group’s first single in both English and Spanish. They’re called “More Than Words (A E I O U)” and “Mas […]

They’ve only been around for eight years, but the Latin Grammys are still the O.G. of Latin awards shows. This year promised a hot new location, major celeb wattage and top-notch performances. Will it deliver on all the hype and keep up with younger, decidedly cooler shows like Premios MTV and Premios Juventud? Let’s find […]

Let’s be real: Pitbull isn’t the smoothest MC in the world (“Let me see you get freaky, baby! Let me see you get nasty, mama!” aren’t exactly hallmarks of subtlety). But it looks like the Cuban MC is learning to slow his roll with the ladies. His new album, Boatlift, is dropping November 27 (that […]
