Wisin y Yandel won the top dos lenguas at last week's Los Premios MTV 2009, for "Artista del Año" y "Video del Año."  As we reported last week, el Dúo Dinámico dedicated their "Artist of the Year" Premio to 50 Cent, who they credit with making este año tan especial para ellos.  MTV News and MTV Tr3s caught up with the trio on the red carpet before the show, where we got 50's two cents on working con los reggaetoneros.  Watch what the rapper had to say below.

Como pueden ver, 50 Cent regards working in the Latin market as an opportunity.  In fact, el rapero is so confident in his work with Wisin y Yandel, that he believes they will win the Latin Grammy they are nominated for este año.

"This is exciting — when they win, I'm gonna finally win my trophy!"

Wisin también está de acuerdo.

"That nomination confirms what I've said all along, which is that these collaborations are necessary.  50 Cent was never nominated for a Latin Grammy. Then he works with Wisin y Yandel, and he scores a nomination. And there's a good chance that he'll win, because that song is an international hit."

T-Pain, who is also collaborating with Wisin y Yandel on "Imaginate" for their upcoming remix album, 'La Evolución,' también piensa que este es el mejor momento para colaboraciones entre artistas Latinos y anglos.

"[Our collaboration is] going to put them in my world and help put me in their world."

Este verdaderamente es el momento para 'La Evolución' de la musica latina.  With so many collaborations between Latin and English-speaking artists, you know there's a new wave of Latin pride that's sure to follow!  Que viva el orgullo Latino!!  [MTV News]

Haven't been able to catch Los Premios or just reeeeally want to watch it again (no te preocupes, we're sure you're not alone!)?  Tune-in to MTV Tr3s esta noche a las 7pm EST to see Los Premios MTV 2009 otra vez!

Shakira is releasing a new U.S. single off her She Wolf album due out this November, and for this one she hooked up with none other than Lil Wayne. The track called "Give It Up To Me," fué producida by hit maker Timbaland, which makes us think this one should be sending us straight out to the dancefloor. Weeepa, it's Miss Shaki baaaby!

Take a listen for yourselves, check out the track on Shaki's Myspace page.  Qué piensan?  [Shakira.com]

La bella y controversial cantante Katy Perry is experimenting con algo nuevo otra vez.  She won't be kissing girls or jumping into a quinceañera cake this time, but she will be showing us a different side of herself during her upcoming 'MTV Unplugged' performance!

La cantante talks about how 'MTV Unplugged' allows artists to be more themselves.  She will be peforming a stripped down, jazzy version of her mega-hit "I Kissed A Girl."  La Perry also mentioned how her larger-than-life personality is reflected en su forma de vestir.  Claro, Katy, we'd noticed that!

Katy Perry will be joining the ranks of such artists as Julieta Venegas, Nirvana, Jay-Z, Alejandro Sanz y más, who've all been a part of the legendary serie de música.  The show will be premiering soon on MTV Tr3s, so keep it locked for more info!

See what else la cantante had to say about her first 'MTV Unplugged' appearance in the trailer below:

If you missed Los Premios MTV 2009 last night on MTV Tr3s and you're kicking yourself for it today, we really can't say we blame you... Between all the amazing multi-city performances from artists like Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Cobra Starship with Paulina Rubio, and Fall Out Boy, to name a few, it's really hard to pinpoint which one thrilled us the most. Even host Nelly Furtado got down and kicked off the night with her own performance. And say what you may about her co-host, Residente Calle 13, no se puede negar que el hombre es honesto!

The night was filled with all kinds of celebs, from runway supermodels like Alessandra Ambrosio, young pop heartthrobs like Pee Wee, living legends like Morrissey, to teen icons like Ashley Tisdale. We even got word of the possible spark of a romance between Wilmer Valderrama and Audrina Patridge (eso dicen our backstage spies, pero ya veremos). MTV Tr3s filled two of the Los Premios categories by awarding Aventura with Best MTV Tr3s Artist, and Da'Zoo as Best New MTV Tr3s Artist. But the biggest ganadores of the night were undoubtedly Wisin y Yandel, Panda, and the fashionably intriguing Lady Gaga, who all took home multiple "lenguas."

Wisin y Yandel won awards for "Vidéo del Año" and "Artista del Año"

Panda took home trés Premios for "Mejor Grupo o Dúo," "Mejor Artista Alternativo," and "Mejor Artista Norte"

Lady Gaga was awarded two "tongues" for "Mejor Artista Nuevo Internacional" and "Canción del Año"

Felicidades a todos, it's well deserved!

We're not entirely sure about this no-pants trend... Lady Gaga pretty much has free reign to do just about anything con su ropa sin sorprendernos, pero Ashley Tisdale?  La joven cantante just performed on the Los Premios MTV 2009 stage looking all kinds of sexy and wearing nothing but a nightie and hot shorts.  Qué crees?  Do you think she's copying Lady Gaga's steeze?

As for Lady Gaga, the avantgarde pop princesa took home dos lenguas: one for 'Mejor Artista Nuevo Internacional' y también por 'Canción del Año' para "Poker Face."

Make sure to catch all the moments you missed this weekend when Los Premios MTV 2009 re-airs on Saturday 10/17 at 2pm and 8pm, only on MTV Tr3s!
