Last night's Nobel Peace Prize Concert in honor of President Obama took place in Oslo, Norway.  El concierto, which was hosted by Will Smith y su esposa, Jada Pickett Smith, and included a performance by Wyclef Jean,  also counted con un invitado Latino - none other than Latin Grammy-winning cantante Luis Fonsi!

Ay, now there's a photo you can frame and show el mundo entero!  We wonder if he'll put it on the mantelpiece next to his Latin Grammy?

Don't let su belleza fool you, Zoe Saldana can kick butt too! The star of upcoming 3-D película 'Avatar' says she's inspired by actresses like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Biel, who truly embrace the action scenes in their movies.

"I have the itch lately. I don't know if it is after 'Avatar' or 'Star Trek' or because I've just finished an action film called 'The Losers', in which I did almost all my own stunts. I think it's so empowering and sexy. I love actresses like Angelina and Jessica. They're very agile, they incorporate their bodies with their characters and they pick women who are very strong. I really dig that."

In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Zoe made sure to credit Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Jolie for opening the door to the action genre for mujeres.

"Before them, women were just sex pots or mothers. They were never the heroes who saved the day. They've enabled a generation of actresses to have a bigger variety of roles. If I wanted to be part of a story that is amazing and had a lot of sexual openness, that's fine. But I am so grateful to know that, like them, I can open different doors for women."

We certainly look forward to seeing Zoe Saldana show off some of her moves! [NewsBlaze]

Los reyes de la bachata Aventura were on El Show de Cristina esta semana setting the record straight on rumores sobre Romeo's sexual preferences y la separación del grupo.  Romeo left no room for doubt about either.

"Quiero dejar claro que no soy ni bisexual ni homosexual. No tengo un pelito de pájaro. No entiendo de dónde uno puede crear esa reputación. Hay artistas que por estilo se parten en tarima, pero yo no hago eso y no sé de donde empiezan esos rumores."

Although we think he could've used a better word than "pájaro" to make his claim, he went on to clarify that he isn't homophobic and in fact has several gay people around him that he admires and appreciates (none of whom are members in the group).

De los rumores de la separación we were surprised to find out that it's actually Henry Santos who wants to venture out and do his solo thing y no Romeo como piensa la gente. Mikey even defended Romeo saying that Tommy Mottola offered el cantante un cheque en blanco to sign as a solo artist and he turned it down!

"Vamos a hablar aquí sin hipocresía porque creo que la gente merece conocer la verdad. He tratado en muchas ocasiones de mantener este grupo unido y tengo la reputación de que soy el que quiere romper Aventura. No tengo inquietud de ser solista. Mi primo Henry es un chico muy talentoso, y por favor 'dile al público que eres tú el que quiere hacer tu proyecto como solista.'" [People En Español]

Hmm, we wonder what will come of this Aventura drama!  In the meantime, you can check out Henry Santos when he makes one special chica's dreams come true for her quinceañera on the next episode of Quiero Mis Quinces, este lunes a las 9pm EST!

The results are in for los Premios People En Español.  Ganadores in the various categories included Best Telenovela: 'Mañana es Para Siempre' y como Mejor Actriz, Edith González de 'Doña Bárbara' y Fernando Colunga como Mejor Actor en 'Mañana es Para Siempre.'  Mejor Cantante Pop went to Luis Fonsi, who also won awards for Best Album and Song of the Year.  Nailing Mejor Artista Tropical were bachateros Aventura, while Best Urban Artist went to Daddy Yankee.

We had our eyes peeled on the red carpet though, to see who had el mejor look de la noche.  Take a look at our faves below!

Lili Estefan looked good enough to eat (we think Raúl de Molina agreed!), as she showed off her famosas piernas con un vestido corto.

Miguel Varoni y Catherine Siachoque get definite props for being la pareja con más estilo de la noche.  Check out her super sexy heels!

We're digging the asymmetrical necklines on los vestidos de Dominican beauty Amelia Vega, news maven  Maria Elena Salinas and the age-defying Charytin.

Our eyes were drawn to these ladies who looked listas para las fiestas de navidad in their festive vestidos.  Canela Ferro parece un regalito with the oversized bow detail on her dress, 'Primer Impacto' host Bárbara Bermudo made un impacto in her dazzling silver dress, y actriz Colombiana Maritza Rodriguez rocked a classy true blue vestido with black lace detalles.

Alejandro Fernandez released his two highly-anticipated new albums today, y el cantante is featuring two very distinct sides of himself con cada uno.  One album, 'Dos Mundos: Evolución,' explores Alejandro's pop side, while 'Dos Mundos: Tradición' highlights su amor por la música regional Mexicana.

'Tradición' was co-produced by el célebre Joan Sebastian, and the album also features a duet with him llamado "Las Siete," in addition to a collaboration con Marco Antonio Solis llamada "Mi Rechazo." Los dos albums were also released as a special collector's edition double-CD, now available on iTunes and in-stores.  Check out Alejandro Fernandez's e-card for more info on the albums. In addition, Alejandro recently released two singles to support the albums: "Se Me Va La Voz" (una canción pop) y "Estuve" (Regional Mexican), which have been battling it out on the radio and video front.  Watch the videos below, y cuéntanos, which track do you like better?  Do you think Alejandro Fernandez es mejor como cantante de rancheras or he is a bonafide pop estrella?

Looks like the after effects of the 'Twilight' franchise still aren't over with...  Brad Pitt has announced he will be producing una nueva película de vampiros, entitled 'Vlad' (as in Vlad the Impaler, quien fue la inspiración for Bram Stoker's 'Dracula').  Hmm, we still have very fond memories of Brad Pitt in 'Interview With The Vampire,' in which he starred with Tom Cruise and Antonio Banderas as los vampiros más sexy this side of Robert Pattinson.

The script for la película was written by young British actor Charlie Hunnam (most recently known as the heartthrob from FX's 'Sons of Anarchy'), and will be directed by Anthony Mandler, who has directed videos for artistas como Rihanna, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Eminem.   If you go by the video for "Russian Roulette," we think the director's got the dark theme down pat.  Here's hoping they cast a hot Latino/a in the film, and we'll be set!
