Wherever Jenni Rivera goes, a juicy story is never far behind:

Yesterday the regional Mexican cantante was arrested in Mexico City's International Airport before boarding un vuelo a los Estados Unidos.  Turns out Jenni was packin' -- dinero, that is.  La reina de la banda stowed away more than 50K in undeclared CASH en su equipaje.  And you thought scissors and more than 3 oz. of liquid was devious!

Rivera told authorities that she was carrying 20K on her trip, but $52,167 was discovered in the singer's carry on luggage during a random search.   Jenni's publicist, Arturo Rivera, had nothing to say about the bust.

"Cupable O Inocente"? Jenni's no stranger to legal trouble; looks like this Premio Lo Nuestro ganadora is gonna be slapped with a guilty charge.

What makes us want to see Little Ashes, la nueva película that realizes a rumored romance and sexual affair between avante-garde writer Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltrán) and eccentric artist Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson) during the rocky political era of Spain in the '20s and '30s?

1) Soy perezoso. You were too lazy to complete the assigned readings by Lorca that tus profesores gave you in Spanish class (Bernarda Alba who?)  Watching la acción en la pantalla is much more interesting!

2) Me encanta el drama! You are so bewildered by the switch to digital television that you shut off the boob tube para siempre.  Now there are no more telenovelas to watch, and you need a good dose of drama, of which the movie is chock-full: un romance homosexual, a love triangle, jealous friends, betrayal y más!

3) Estoy loco por Robert Pattinson. The next installation of the Twilight saga, New Moon, won't be out until November 2009 and you've got a hankering for some R-Pat.  Besides, you really want to understand what is up with his wacktastic mustache.

Little Ashes hit screens nationwide on May 8th .  Get yourself schooled en la cultura Española by watching this dynamic, Pattinson-packed flick and continue checking Blogamole for additional scenes.

Trolling through the celebrity twitterdom today we happened across a morsel of tasty texts from Demi Lovato.  Demi is opening for the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 concert series, which is currently rocking Lima, Peru.

La gira was originally scheduled for Mexico, but rerouted to Lima's Estadio Nacional after the Swine Flu put the fear of OINK into everyone.

After the Lima concierto, los hermanos y Demi are hitting up Santiago, Chile.  Los fans peruanos will be sad to see the artists go; reports are in that la policía had to hold fans back at the Lima Marriott hotel where los artistas stayed.

From the sound of her Twitter, la bella Lovato is livin' la vida loca en Latinoamérica. Demi, who is part Mexican, must be reuniting con su raíces!

A few tweet highlights from the Disney estrella's tour travels include...

PERU IS INCREDIBLE!!!!! Wow. I'm speechless. I love it here.

Backstage at the stadium... stretching and getting pumped for the show. I've missed touring with JB. I love them so much.

I LOVE PERU!!!

Demi even treated her Twitter followers to una foto de su concierto:

No olvides, you can catch MTV Tr3s on Twitter to stay on top of artist news and show chisme.

Shia and Rihanna sitting in a tree...

Rumors swirled around in 2007 that the Transformers star Shia LaBeouf and Rihanna were dating after the two were spotted on the scene together in Beverly Hills. Now, almost two years later Shia finally dishes on what really went down between him and the Disturbia songtress. So who approached who?

He says:

[I was] filming a sword fight when I got the message. I said, 'Can this be my life?'

The two decided via text to meet up. So, they did in fact go on a date. Pero, what happened?

It never got beyond one date, he added. The spark wasn't there. We weren't passionate about each other in that way, so we remain friends.

Ahhh, guess he was just not that into her. So which chicas do catch his eye? Ellen Page, Evan Rachel Wood, Camilla Belle, Kristen Stewart from 'Twilight,' and Amber Tamblyn all toppped his list. But they all play runner-up to the woman he really admires and wishes he could date: his mother (yikes). Catch Shia in action next month when Transformers Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters on June 24th. [MTV News]

Can Vanessa Hudgens follow in the successful footsteps of her beau Zac on the big screen?

We'll find out when her new movie "Bandslam" hits theaters this summer.  Vanessa stars in this romantic musical comedy as Sam (as she spells it, Sa5m), an outsider with untapped musical talent.  In this flick, the "HSM" actress spends most of her time as a social misfit, reading books and sucking down drinks with Twizzler straws.  Sam's introverted lifestyle kicks it up a notch when new kid in town Will Burton assembles una banda de rock. Together, they achieve sus sueños and compete against in the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands. There's even time for a budding PG-13 romance to unfold.

Why we love it: In this movie the nerds rule and cheerleaders drool. Sam finds her voice and saves the day when she rocks out on stage. Will, the nerdy kid on the block, actually gets the girl. Plus, this movie is surprisingly funny without trying too hard. Besides,  who doesn't love Lisa Kudrow as a M.I.L.F?  Get ready for one rockin' time when Bandslam hits theaters on August 14th.

Check out the trailer after the jump and lets us know if you think this movie will outshine "17 Again."

Este es nuestro tercer blog exclusivo para MTV Tr3s Blogamole!!! La semana pasada terminamos con la filmación del nuevo video "Abusadora." Gracias a DIOS valio la pena y ustedes lo veran a partir del 26 de mayo cuando salga el video (el mismo dia que sale "La Revolución"!).

Fue MUY FUERTE!! Hacía 120 grados farenheit (como 49 grados celsius) en el desierto mas caluroso de Norte America, "Death Valley" y ya sabemos porque le llaman el valle de la muerte, porque sentiamos que nos ibamos a desmayar en cualquier momento, pero solo nos asamos durante dos dias.

"Abusadora" tiene un coro que dice "Hace Calor!" asi que le va como anillo al dedo del tema. Eso si, también nos divertimos corriendo "dune buggies" por las arenas del desierto. La trama del video no se los vamos a contar pero tiene aventura, misterio y tambien elementos magicos y sensuales. Les van a encantar! El director como siempre, Jessy Terrero, se boto! Aquí les incluimos unas imagenes tomadas de la filmación.

Trabajamos hasta lo maximo pero uno siempre tiene que seguir luchando para seguir adelante - es lo que se merecen nuestras familias y nuestros fanáticos. Ustedes nos impulsan a seguir produciendo y creando algo mejor, cada vez MAS GRANDE, MAS IMPORTANTE, MAS RELEVANTE, QUE SOBREPASE LO QUE VINO ANTERIORMENTE.

What are W&Y up to right now? Catch it all right after el click!

We recently learned why AIDS is a issue close to Residente's corazón...

Ahora, the rapero is continuing to support the fight against the disease by accepting a new role as the International Ambassador for the Latino Commission of AIDS 2009. The announcement was made at the 14th Annual Cielo Latino Gala that took place in NYC earlier this week. The gala is the largest annual national fundraiser for the Latino community in the fight against AIDS. While René was too swamped (prob making great, new, controversial music) to attend,  he sent his hermanita, Elena Pérez to accept the role upon his behalf. Of course the creative master also gave her a special poem to read out loud.

Read his poetically sound poem right below the hood!

Aventura is putting the ball on your court...

The bachateros latest single "All Up To You," featuring Akon and Wisin y Yandel, is a blunt and fella-proof response to a broken heart. Let's just say stressing a lady is not in their vocabulary. In fact, Romeo admits to seeing a couple of video models he was fond of during the video shoot in Miami last week! You know we had a front row seat with the smooth operating foursome to find out if a real life romance inspired this blazing track. Find out for yourself right below!
