The Presidential Inaugural Committee is keeping details of Beyonce's performance top secret...

The 'Sasha Fierce' diva is set to sing for Barack and Michelle Obama's primer dance on Tuesday evening. The committee's spokeswoman, Linda Douglass may be keeping her canción selection under-wraps, but we are on a mission to guess which hit Beyonce is most likely to perform.

We can definitely rule out her club-shakin' hits, including her latest sultry anthem, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." No doubt, we can picture Michelle getting down to it, but we can't forget about the President! We listed some tracks that might hit the mic...

1. "Crazy In Love": The summer jam is universal enough to hype-up todo el mundo. If this song selection flies, hopefully B skips on the hot-shorts and bra less tank-tops. That would be too much loco love to handle.

2. "That's Why You're Beautiful": Will she test out this new single on the crowd? It works as a poetic testament of amor. Bueno, at least between her and Jay-Z. Unless, Michelle sings along and dedicates it to Obama. Hmmm...we think there's potential in this one.

3. "At Last": The Etta James original classic would fit perfectly with the historic event. At last mi gente!

What canción do you think Beyonce should sing at the inauguration?

Don't forget to join the "Be The Change" inaugural celebration. Watch MTV Tr3s live on Tuesday, January 20th at 10 PM.

Fans can breath easy...

Enrique Iglesias has denied recent rumors claiming that his long-term novia, Anna Kournikova is expecting. Chisme reporters were on the prowl and finally the "Away" singer assured that he is NOT going to be a baby daddy anytime soon. Enrique also affirmed that he would like to welcome fatherhood someday, but he is not ready to take on the role at the moment. (Phew!)

His father, Julio Iglesias also denied leaking the false rumors to the media:

Esta vez le aseguro... yo digo muchas cosillas, pero esta vez no he dicho yo absolutamente nada.

False alarm! Isn't that música to our ears? [People en Español]

With four days left until Barack Obama's inauguration, many celebs are politicking on the future...

Aventura's Max Santos takes his political views from the White House to the streets. The bachatero hopes that our Presidential CHANGE will also spark social cambio in our comunidades. Max reveals that the answer doesn't simply lie on who is running for office, but also on how the masses adopt social responsibility.

He recently stated:

Yo creo que la gente tiene que cambiar y ayudar, ¿me entiendes? porque no siempre es el gobierno. Yo se que él va hacer lo que él pueda, the best that he can, pero si nosotros no nos comportamos como lo tenemos que ayudar a él también. Pues para mí yo creo que la gente tiene que cambiar y ponerse más seria en su escuela, en su negocio, lo que sea para ser, you know, successful.

This fella definitely has a point. Maybe he should team-up with celebrity activist like Juanes and Shaki. No es cierto? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

"Music My Guey" wants to turn you into the ultimate DJ by creating your own themed-playlist!

Check out the "Music My Guey" site and submit your custom-made playlist and share it with everyone in el barrio. An extremely savvy tr3s writer (ahem) created a Nuevo Año playlist worth playing at your next block party:

1. Julieta Venegas: "El Presente"
Who needs el pasado?! 2009 is all about enjoying el presente. One shot of Julieta's intoxicating canción guarantees a new beginning. No hangovers necessary.

2. Shakira: "Dia de Enero"
January should be about adding romance back into the priority list. Shaki warms-up a lonely afternoon without the cadera shaking beats she usually fires-up.

3. Juan Luis Guerra: "Ojalá Que Llueva Café"
Recession worries will melt away after turning-up this old school classic. What is bad about imagining a rain fall of billetes falling from the heavens? Juan Luis Guerra's poetic power makes you feel like anything is possible!

4. Juanes: "Odio Por Amor"
Paz should be the universal new year's resolution. Juanes will ignite the revolutionary spirit in todo el mundo. Si se puede!

5. Pitbull: "The Anthem"
Locos rejoice! There is no way to start things off without dancing with your sister, brother, abuela, and abuelo. The whole familia can jam to this Cubano's anthem.

Think you can come up with a better playlist? Submit your own on Music My Guey and become a rockstar instantly!

We smell neck blood!

It's no sorpresa that Twilight is coming out with a fragrance of it's own (as if the Hot Topic shelves weren't stacked enough with movie merchandising).  Pero, we're appalled by the packaging of 'Forbidden Fruit.'   It seems the Twilight perfume was designed in the not-so-subtle likeness of another well-known brand: Nina Ricci. And guess what folks? Nina noticed, and shot back with a lawsuit!

I guess you can't fly under the radar when you gross a trajillion dollars on opening weekend.

OME! Perhaps Twilight would have better luck with an Edward bouffant-inducing hairspray line? [Cosmetic News]
