Our Latina representative on ABC's Desperate Housewives is sharpening her pencils porque está de regreso a la escuela! That's right, Eva Longoria Parker announced that she will be going back to school for a Masters' Degree in Chicano Studies y Ciencias Políticas. The Texas native has said that she is anxious to learn more about her roots and reconnect with the Spanish language.

Though la actriz has not yet revealed which university she'll be attending, we're sure we'll be able to find her by the crowd of paparazzi sneaking pictures por las ventanas de las aulas!

As if going back to school wasn't enough, Eva is also currently taking on her first ever Spanish-speaking role in the film 'Días De Gracia,' with director Everardo Gout en la Ciudad de México. The film, due out in 2010, is a story about kidnappings surrounding three World Cup tournaments.  Acting alongside Ms. Longoria Parker will be our other favorite Eva, actríz Ameri-Cubana, Eva Mendes.

In these tough times, it can’t be easy being the President of the U.S., but every once in a while… we think it must be nice, Señor Obama!

It's no secret that our Presidente loves him some música, but we're especially glad he's all about getting his Latino groove on! So far, he's had Shakira sing for him, and he's taken on the spotlight himself to sing for Marc Anthony at the CHCI 32nd Annual Awards Gala (it was only Happy Birthday, but it still counts!). We've also heard that Juanes and Olga Tañón will be paying him a visit soon, but the biggest news… drumroll please…

La Casa Blanca will be opening its doors for a special performance by el grupo Aventura, this October 13th! MTV News will be there to get the scoop, so look out for the exclusive coverage on MTV Tr3s!

Does President Obama know how to dance bachata? We can't wait to find out!

Khloe Kardashian's upcoming wedding to NBA player Ladam Odom came as a huge surprise to some -- most of all to his ex-fiancé Liza Morales.  Especially since she found out that her former flame was engaged via text message!  Ouch!

Morales expressed her shock at la noticia to E! News:

"I didn't believe it because I got it in a text message, so I thought it was a joke... I think marriage is a life commitment and it is not something you rush into. This is not a fabulous pair of shoes, or a fabulous custom-made suit we are talking about. So I would definitely say he is acting on impulse."

Liza and Lamar were high school sweethearts who began dating when Liza was just 17, and broke up two years ago.  La pareja had 3 children together, one of whom died of SIDS in 2006.

Liza also called Lamar a "commitment-phobe."  Hmm... we wish Khloe and Lamar mucha suerte en su matrimonio.  And it looks like they might need it!  [Latina.com]

With his historical performance alongside other major artists this past Sunday in Cuba, Juanes (our favorite Colombian goodwill guru) caught the world's attention through his Paz Sin Fronteras concert that brought together 1.2 million Cubans on their home turf. There hasn't been a gathering this huge at Revolution Square desde la visita del Papa en 1998!

Paz performers included Miguel Bosé, Olga Tañón, and a selection of Cuban artists including Yerba Buena and Orishas, to name a few.  Even los Cubanos en Miami got to enjoy a live broadcast of the show.

Clearly, Juanes knows how to use el poder de la música to unite people por una causa.  Following the success of his Paz Sin Fronteras concierto, Juanes has been invited by the U.S. to be a featured performer at The Clinton Global Citizens Awards Ceremony in New York today, along with another talented do-gooder, Alicia Keys. Award honorees, including music producer and humanitarian Quincy Jones, have taken initiative to make positive changes por todo el mundo, so we know Juanes will fit right in.  Maybe he can convince Miss Keys to join his next Paz Sin Fronteras line-up?  Juanes' manager recently revealed that the next Paz Sin Fronteras concert will take place on the border between Mexico and the U.S. in 2010.   Not as controversial as Sunday's concert in Cuba or last year's performance in Colombia/Venezuela, but immigration will of course be at the forefront of the conversation!

Go Juanes!

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama came out last Wednesday to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at the CHCI 32nd Annual Awards Gala in Washington DC, an annual kickoff event that recognizes the achievements of Latinos en nuestro país.  Over 2,000 guests joined President Obama in celebrating Latino culture, including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, John Leguizamo and Miss Puerto Rico to name a few.  El orgullo Latino was certainly soaring high!

President Obama's speech highlighted the success of some of today's most prominent Latinos (including Marc Anthony who won this year's CHCI Lifetime Achievement Award), and also touched upon his plan to help solve the school dropout crisis (sadly, Latinos have the highest dropout rate in the country), and pressing social issues like the economy, health care reform, and immigration. He gave a special shout out to Justice Sotomayor and said his proudest moment as President was when she became elected as the Supreme Court Justice of the United States!

Politics are no fun without some risas, so President Obama made sure to throw in a joke after New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez gushed about Marc Anthony.  El Presidente declared that Nydia must have a crush on Marc, and warned JLo to watch out porque apparently, she's not the only one who's got her eye on the legendary salsero.  Cuidado with your man, JLo!  Listen to Obama's chiste below!
