Rumors began circulating this week that Kim Kardashian had made a bet with boyfriend Reggie Bush that if his team, the New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl, he'd have to put a ring on it!

But Kim is denying the whole thing saying that it was a radio interview taken completely out of context.  Curvy Kimmy defended herself on her blog:

"There is a story going around saying I made a bet that Reggie would propose if The Saints won the Superbowl. This is not true. I never made any kind of bet.A radio interviewer asked what I dreamed for in 2010 and I was hesitant and thinking about it and they said what about a ring… I said yes, a Superbowl ring for Reggie. Then they said that if he gets a Superbowl ring, I get an engagement ring and I said "ok deal! LOL.

"This was taken way out of context by a lot of media outlets, who are saying I made a bet with Reggie, which I didn't. In NO way is that a bet I made with Reggie! If you listen to the interview you can hear exactly what I said! It bugs me how people twist stories when the interview is right there to hear for yourself. I just wanted to clear that up!"  (PerezHilton)

Go Team Kim!

Thalia's second single off her wildly popular LIVE album, Thalia en Primera Fila, hit radio stations this week to nationwide praise.

Thalia  captivated her loyal listeners, as well as new audiences, with the first ballad from the LP, Equivocada, which reached the top spot in radio both nationally and internationally. But Thalia started the new year strong by romancing fans with her second single, Qué será de ti, a song that was originally popularized by master singer/songwriter Roberto Carlos.  This classic has acquired a brand new sound thanks to Thalia; she has completely made it her own!

Relief has been pouring in for the impoverished island of Haiti in wake of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated the nation's capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12th. And while we've heard dozens of stories on the 2 million and counting that Wyclef, one of the country's most famous exports, has raised through his organization Yele Haiti, we've heard very little on what some of our favorite artistas Latinos are doing to help.  Here's the scoop!

Wisin y Yandel have reached deep in their pockets to donate to the victims of Haiti. The duo have given $100,000 to a Haitian orphanage, and another $100K towards the purchase of generators to help restore electricity to the devastated nation.

The boys of Aventura are also donating big bills! A whopping $25, 000 to their relief organization of choice, the American Red Cross. The Bachata quartet will also have Red Cross volunteers accepting donations on-site at their 4 Madison Square Garden concerts over the next two weeks.

Ricky Martin isn’t just writing a check; he's heading to Haiti! Our favorite humanitarian boarded a plane to Port-au-Prince today, and plans on providing as much on the ground assistance as possible.

Belinda is doing her part as well, and has taped a special PSA for the Red Cross. The segment is meant to motivate and inspire the Mexican public and others to donate and give to the relief fund in Haiti. (LatinGossip)

Are you doing your part? To find out how you can do more, head on over to Think.MTV.com. And make sure you watch Hope For Haiti, an MTV Telethon broadcast LIVE and hosted by George Clooney, Wyclef, and CNN's Anderson Cooper, on MTV Tr3s Friday, January 22nd at 8pm EST/PST.  All donations will directly benefit Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclef's Yele Haiti Foundation.

In the wake of the 7.0 earthquake that hit the impoverished and now devastated nation of Haiti on Tuesday, more stories from survivors are surfacing. Injured Americans who are finally being flown home to seek medical treatment are telling their stories of survival and making pleas for more aid to find its way to Haiti.

 Christa Brelsford is a 25-year-old American who was visiting Haiti with her brother Julian when she found herself pinned under the building she was in. Julian managed to escape, but Christa was not as fortunate. "My main objective was not to panic and to stay as calm as I could," she said, speaking from a hospital in Miami. "After I realized I was trapped I didn't know how long it would take to get me out. I thought I wasn't badly injured. I thought that I still had both my legs and my toes. I thought my only danger was losing circulation from the weight."

Julian was able to help his sister by making a tourniquet for one of her injured legs, but it wasn't enough to save her right foot, which later had to be amputated. "I did stay calm," she said of being trapped in the building's wreckage. "I didn't worry. I just tried to take it one second at a time."

Christina explained that she received treatment in the U.S. because the medical care in the country right now is in a state of chaos. Although she lost her foot, she noted that she is just happy to be alive. "It got cold and I knew it wasn't being saved. I'm so happy I'm alive that I don't care about my foot at all. I'm so thankful to be alive," she said. "You can either focus on the pain or you can focus on something else. It's a lot easier to focus on what's good in life than what's not."

Her brother added that despite his sister's injuries and the current panic in the country, he plans on returning to try and help others. "I'm definitely wanting to go back to Haiti," he said. "There are so many people who haven't gotten the wonderful treatment we did. We want to see outpouring of support for these people."

Freelance Journalist, Erik Parker, fortunately wasn't hurt, but shares his story of how he helped others.

Pop sensation Lady Gaga was forced to cancel a concert on her sold-out “Fame Monster Tour” after she collapsed just before taking the stage in Indiana on Thursday night.

The “Bad Romance” hitmaker was scheduled to perform at Purdue University in Indiana but pulled out at the last minute after paramedics discovered her heart was beating irregularly.

 Gaga took to her Twitter to address her adoring fans:

"I've been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down 2nite. An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing"

"Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart-rate was irregular– a result of exhaustion and dehydration."

"Can't apologize enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans cheering from my dressing room, I begged everyone to let me go onstage."

"My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned I'd be in danger during the 2hr show, since I had passed out earlier."

"I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort."

"I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me. I will make-up the performance on Jan 26." (Twitter)

Gaga's tour promoter, LiveNation, announced that Saturday's show in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Sunday's in Wallingford, Connecticut, had been cancelled, and that Monday's in Uncasville, Connecticut will be rescheduled. The singer's doctor has advised her to take a few days off, according to a statement issued today.

Just when you thought the hoopla of Chrihannagate ‘09 was over, Rihanna’s brand new interview with W magazine brings up some old…and new revelations. 

The mag’s February cover girl says this about her former love Chris Brown:

“There were control issues, insecurity. When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”

Rihanna said she sought refuge in her music, finding that it helped to write about the attack:

“I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist. With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy. At first I completely shut down. But now I feel like this happened to me so I could be a voice for young girls who are going through what I went through and don’t know how to talk about it. It’s not about Chris, about hurting him or sabotaging his career. I don’t care about that part of it.”

On why she stayed away from friends and family immediately after the attack:

“It’s like they are too close to you. When you have to talk about something so painful, they are going to get too emotional. And that wasn’t helping me, because I already felt the same way and I’m looking to not feel like this. I felt like, If I’m going to tell you something and you’re going to have pity for me, then I’m not going to talk to you.”

We love Rihanna, and domestic violence is never the answer, but don't you think the R&B star has vented enough on her former boo? Weigh in below! (theybf)

In the days since a deadly 7.0-magnitude earthquake leveled Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, on Tuesday evening, millions of dollars have been pledged to help the search and rescue and relief efforts on the impoverished Caribbean nation.

But where is that aid going?

The most desperate immediate needs of the more than 3 million Haitians who've been impacted by the disaster are food, water, shelter and medical supplies.

Like Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti which is urging people to text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the cause — which has raised more than $2 million so far — many other relief organizations have used mobile messaging to quickly gather funds.

But experts have been warning those wishing to donate to Haitian relief to be wary of organizations that claim 100 percent of their funds will go to victim relief because all charities have overhead and administrative costs and rarely use all the funds raised strictly for relief. They've also suggested that you go with well-known, big organizations such as the American Red Cross and UNICEF, who have a long track record with these types of efforts and who typically channel 90 percent of funds into programming/relief.

Other tips from Charity Navigator: avoid telemarketers and anonymous e-mail/text requests for would-be scammers looking to capitalize on the situation, don't be afraid to be suspicious and ask questions, never give your personal or financial information, ask if the charity is registered with an organization like the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, never donate cash and while the immediacy of the social-networking giving that has become the go-to method of donation is inspiring, make sure you do your homework before texting that donation in.

CNN reported that the FBI has already issued a warning about unscrupulous scammers who might be looking to take advantage of the situation in Haiti to solicit bogus appeals. So be WARY!

For our part, MTV is teaming up with Oscar-winning actor George Clooney for a Haitian Relief Telethon next Friday (January 22). Here are some other ways you can take part in Haitian relief efforts. (MTV News)

This wasn't just any event, though; this was an exclusive concert for the Lesbian and Gay Community of Miami. Anahi fans packed the house and just when they thought they'd get a performance from the Mexican Pop Diva, they got an even bigger surprise as drag queen Teresita "La Caliente" performed as the former RBD star. Check out pics, here! After the show, Anahi gave away copies of her Mi Delirio CD and autographed posters. Surprised? Sounds like a typical Miami night to us!

So far, Wyclef Jean's nonprofit organization, Yele Haiti, has raised over $1 million for the victims of Tuesday's devastating earthquake from mobile donations alone. With a series of urgent tweets, an appearance on CNN and the help of his famous friends the singer has mobilized a massive effort on behalf of his homeland, imploring followers to text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the effort.

According to Albe Angel, CEO of Miami-based Give on the Go, the mobile communications company working with Yele Haiti to coordinate donations, the organization has raised over $1 million for relief efforts since the earthquake. Yele's goal is to up that figure to $1 million a day as part of the SMS fundraising drive.

"Since the disaster occurred around 5 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday and [by] midnight [Wednesday] we cleared $1 million," said Angel, whose company provides the technology that allows mobile users to make an automatic $5 donation. Give on the Go has announced that 100 percent of the donations raised will go directly to Yele Haiti. More than 200,000 people have donated to the cause, and Angel said he thinks it's possible that the $1 million per day goal could be reached, given the volume of donations that have been coming in. "These types of donations really were spawned by the [2004] tsunami relief effort, and the $1 million that Yele has raised already is a watershed event."

Wyclef is not the only celebrity who has stepped up to aid the cause. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, founded by Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt, has pledged $1 million to the emergency medical operations of Doctors Without Borders.

"It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades," Jolie said in a statement on Wednesday.

Relief efforts have spawned Facebook and Twitter users to take action, and a number of other celebrities have joined in the fight to send urgently needed supplies to the impoverished Caribbean nation, including Alyssa Milano, Olivia Wilde, LL Cool J, Jessica Alba, and Demi Moore.

On Thursday, President Obama pledged $100 million in aid from the U.S. The United Nations also announced that $10 million would go to relief efforts in Haiti, while the World Bank pledged $100 million. (MTV News)

The countdown of lo mejor de la década pasada continúa... Tonight, we will be counting down los galanes más guapos de los 00s.  No te lo pierdas at 7pm EST to see if you agree with our picks for the hottest guys in the world of entertainment from the past decade!

Last night was all about the ladies in our Mamasotas countdown.  Missed the show?  Check out who made the cut here.  Cuéntanos -- do you agree with our picks for the hottest ladies of the 00s?

Some of our personal favorites?

1. Shakira

Talk about Latin invasion.  Shakira took the Latin music industry by storm during los 00s, pero la rubia colombiana also showed the world how to do the crossover game right!  With bilingual albums like Laundry Service (Servicio de Lavanderia) and Oral Fixation, Vol. 1, la Loba released hit after countless hit in English, y también en Español!

2. Jennifer Lopez

Before Shakira made the crossover game all her own, the bar was set by none other than Miss JLo.  Jenny from the Block started off the decade con mega-éxitos como "Waiting For Tonight" and "Love Don't Cost A Thing." Los 00s saw Jennifer Lopez through a series of high-profile romances, until she finally settled down and married award-winning salsero and fellow boricua darling, Marc Anthony.  But married life and motherhood aren't slowing JLo down - the Bronx-born diva will be releasing un nuevo album en 2010.

3. Thalía

La bella cantante Mexicana tried her hand at the crossover game too, pero saben, we prefer Thalía's "Amor A La Mexicana," están de acuerdo?  Not only did Thalía become an actual mamasota en los 00s when she gave birth to her daughter Sabrina Sakaë, but she also had a major comeback in 2006 with her hit "Ten Paciencia."

4. Belinda

No solo hizo su nombre en el mundo de la música con canciones como "Bella Traición," esta bella cantante also made quite a name for herself en el mundo del chisme!  With some hot telenovela roles and a collabo con cantante panameño Flex under her belt, Belinda definitely made her presence felt en los 00s!

5. Paulina Rubio

La chica dorada had quite a run en los 00s with various Spanish and English songs, including "Ni Una Sola Palabra" which helped put this former Timbiriche singer back on the map.  2009 saw an even bigger comeback for Paulina with the release of Gran City Pop and a red-hot performance with Cobra Starship at Los Premios MTV.

The list of mamasotas also included Fanny Lú, Anahí, Shaila Durcal, La Quinta Estación (Natalia Jiménez), Alejandra Guzmán, Gloria Trevi, Nelly Furtado, La La and Kat DeLuna, along with our own ReMexa host y cantante de duranguense, Jazmin Lopez.  Who are YOUR top 5??
