Grandpa better watch out porque esta semana abuelita está bien pícara. But when it comes to William Levy, can you really blame her?

The music business is in dire straits as patrons opt for free downloads over purchasing their personal soundtracks, however Shakira is cool with all this! In a recent entrevista, la Colombiana explained that she feels close to fans who appreciate her music enough to download it legally (or otherwise).

She states:

"It's the democratization of music in a way. And music is a gift. That's what it should be, a gift."

Hmmm... We wonder if her peers feel that way! Of course they're not sitting on STACKS like Shaki! [Perez Hilton]

A day after ex-girlfriend Rihanna dropped her single "Russian Roulette," Chris Brown responds with the equally slow-tempo ballad "Crawl." As previously reported, Rihanna's single alludes to her abusive relationship with Brown, and "Crawl" responds to Rihanna with Brown singing about a relationship that has slipped away from him.  Could this be a publicity stunt by the estranged couple? The timing couldn't be more impeccable for their dual releases. What do you think?

"Crawl" is the second release off Brown's forthcoming album, Graffiti. The first was "I Can Transform Ya" featuring Lil Wayne.  A release date hasn't been set for Graffiti, but if this pattern is any indication, we're guessing it'll hit stores close to Rihanna's Rated R on November 23rd.

File this under 'Who could have possibly thought this was a good idea?' Most people dress up as witches, superheroes and vampires for Halloween, but this year it's the "Illegal Alien" costume that's causing major drama!!

That's right a costume making fun of "Illegal Aliens."

Retailers like Target, Walgreens and Amazon have been getting a lot of heat for selling two versions of the costume this Halloween. So what does an "Illegal Alien" look like you ask?

In one version, the "Illegal Alien Adult Costume" comes with an orange prison jumpsuit, with "Illegal Alien" stamped in black across the chest, a space alien mask and a fake Green Card. The other version, the "Illegal Alien Mask with Hat" costume also includes a space alien mask but this time with a dark handlebar mustache and a baseball cap.

Many Latino rights groups have been filing complaints including The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, which sent letters to the retailers asking them to stop selling the costumes immediately.  Target responded this weekend by removing them from their stores and their website.

In a company statement, Target said: "It is never our intent to offend the consumers with the products we offer."

But not everyone is following Target's lead.  Some retailers disagree and say protesters are taking things too seriously. An employee at Ricky's, a costume store in New York City, said: "It's a very well-recommended costume."

Rihanna released her new slow tempo single "Russian Roulette" today to mixed reviews. It definitely won't have fan reciting lines like 2007's "Umbrella."  (Ella, ella, eh, eh!)

This is the first single of Rihanna's fourth studio album, Rated R, which Def Jam confirmed will be released on November 23rd. For the LP, RiRi teamed up with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Tricky Stewart, Chase & Status and Ne-Yo, who wrote and produced "Russian Roulette."

The single seems to allude to an abusive relationship, and we can only assume that this album is a form of creative release and may be a brand new sound for the artist; therapy if you will, and similar to Kanye's emotional 808s and Heartbreak.

MTV News caught up with Ne-Yo recently and this is what the writer/producer had to say about Rated R:

The best and safest way I can say this is that Rihanna has some stuff to say and she's going to say it. And she ain't going to make no apologies for it.... I've heard a good majority of the album... world, get ready. That's all I'm going to say : World ,get ready. [MTV News]

So what do you think? Are we ready for an album outlining Rihanna's abusive relationship with Chris Brown?  Speak on it below!

Also, if you haven't heard the new track "Russian Roulette" yet, listen to it now on Rihanna's website!

As co-host of Los Premios MTV 2009, Calle 13's Residente, René Pérez took the stage and spotlight to highlight political issues that are close to his heart. He had as many wardrobe changes as Eva Longoria did at the 2009 ALMA Awards (if not more!), wearing a series of shirts with political statements about government officials from Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Honduras and Colombia. His red-carpet wardrobe caused a particular uproar with Colombian authorities.

Residente wore the shirt pictured above, which references the Colombian president, Álvaro Uribe. Furious by Residente's stance, Manizales mayor, Juan Manuel Llano, slapped Residente a way he knew would hurt, announcing earlier today that the Calle 13 concert in Colombia has been cancelled!

Llano told local radio:

"It is an insult to Colombians that someone of talent would use this to attack Colombians and especially our president. Manizales has decided under no circumstances or for any reason can this group take part."

Calle 13’s concert in Puerto Rico scheduled for Halloween weekend was also cancelled by a government official, Jorge A. Santini Padilla, mayor of San Juan. However, unlike Llanos, Santini did not blame Residente’s controversial statements about Puerto Rican governor, Luis Fortuno, as the cause of the cancellation. The reason Santini gave for calling off the concert was that the contract for the proposed concert venue, the Roberto Clemente coliseum, was not signed. Pero, based on the statement below, we think that Santini really just wanted to get back at Residente…

"Mr. Pérez will not be bothered by the decision, because I don’t think he is interested in benefiting economically from an event that was going to be held in a facility administered by government personnel for whom he has no respect." [New York Times]

What do you think? Want to see what all the controversy is about? Then watch Los Premios MTV 2009 again, airing tonight at 7pm, Wednesday 10/21 at 11pm and Friday 10/23 at 6pm solo por MTV Tr3s!

Pero, don't get the wrong idea!  Wilmer Valderrama is set to star in an upcoming new FOX sitcom based on our favorite dog-loving Latino, Cesar Millan of 'The Dog Whisperer.'  In the new half-hour show, Wilmer will play a character who's made su fortuna entrenando perros, much like Millan has done en la vida reál.

The show will be written and produced by Emily Kapnek, who is currently known for HBO sitcom 'Hung,' but who had previously worked on a pilot with Wilmer for a show called 'The Emancipation of Ernesto.'  We can't wait to see how the Venezuelan/Colombian heartthrob will fare with his little four-legged friends!  Algo tenemos por seguro, it'll be a really entertaining show!  [Variety]

You know what else was entertaining?  Watching Wilmer Valderrama try to present an award with Audrina Patridge en español.  Wilmer did his best to teach the 'Hills' bombshell how to say algunas palabras en español, pero... well, let's just say Audrina's Spanish is for the dogs (zing!).  If you haven't seen their hilarious presentation that had Wilmer struggling to keep a straight face yet, you'll just have to tune in to MTV Tr3s tonight a las 7pm EST to watch an encore of Los Premios MTV 2009!!
