Golden Boy Predicts Future US President

The 22nd Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards were held this past Tuesday on Capitol Hill and it was definitely a star-studded affair. We caught up with MTV Tr3s VJ, Carlos Santos, who as we mentioned was the MC for the event, to get the exclusive inside scoop…

Biggest disappointment of the night: King of Reggaeton, Don Omar, was a no-show! El chisme es que Don Omar appeared to cancel at the last minute causing MAJOR mayhem! Scripts had to be changed and his performance replaced since he was scheduled to speak AND perform at the event. We hope he had a good reason for not showing, like working on a new album perhaps or spending quality time with his esposa, Jackie Guerrido – last we heard they were on the verge of a divorce, we’re hoping that was just a nasty rumor.

Best Performance: El romantico, Cristian Castro with his opening act of the night, “El Culpable Soy Yo.” Carlos couldn’t help but sing along as the Mexican superstar sang his heart out at the awards ceremony.

Most memorable quote: During his acceptance speech for the Achievement in Sports award, golden boy Oscar de la Hoya predicted that comedian George Lopez will be elected President of the United States in 2024! We think Oscar may be alone on that thought. Don’t get it twisted, we’re all for having a Latino in the White House, we hope it will happen before 2024, but we highly doubt it will be George Lopez!
