El ex-cantante de RBD, Christian Chavez, told El Gordo y La Flaca esta semana that if he had to pick un artista with whom to go out with, it would be Juanes.  We certainly can't say we blame him!

However, Christian was quick to change his tune today, after Juanes dismissed the crush to the press saying "Gracias, lo respeto, pero no son mis intereses."

Burn! Ouch!

Pero no hay problema -- Christian issued an apology of sorts to el cantante Colombiano when he returned to the scene of the crime and stated on el show del Gordo y La Flaca:

"No, qué pena, no le estoy tirando el calzón, no quiero con Juanes. El Gordo me preguntó y yo respondí 'Juanes' por la admiración que siento por él, pero para nada en otro sentido, imaginen, qué va a pensar su esposa, qué pena."

Good save, Christian!  So you "like" Juanes, but you don't like, "LIKE" Juanes.  We get it...  [People En Español]

We all know that Shakira is an amazingly talented singer and dancer, pero la sexy Colombiana is also a leading advocate for children and the founder of ALAS, a non-profit organization that promotes Early Childhood Development (ECD) policies in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Yesterday, the Grammy Award-winning artist joined forces with the president of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, to launch an $300 million Early Childhood Initiative.  The program will go towards funding development programs that will provide children from birth to 6 years of age with adequate nutrition, health care, and stimulating environments to give every child a fair start. There are approximately 22 million children in Latin America who have no access to education, and Shakira is making every effort to try to change that and help ensure a more positive future that will boost economic growth, global security, and peace by investing in early education for children. Que buena causa, verdad?

Before arriving at the World Bank, Shakira had the opportunity to discuss with President Obama their shared interest for the promotion of ECD programs in Latinoamerica as well as in the US.
According to Shakira:
"Education has the power to change children’s lives but also the lives of their families and entire communities."

With some small talk about the President's immigration reform, Obama assured the singer that his staff is doing everything possible to address the 11 million undocumented people in the country.

The combined efforts of ALAS and those of the World Bank and other leading organizations ensure a brighter future for the children en países latinos.  Shakira, thank you for being such an influential Agente de Cambio!

Jennifer Lopez has spent most of her singing career at Sony Music Epic Records, but after today, that relationship ended like most of her marriages-cold turkey!  Some say Lopez fulfilled her Sony contract with her last two singles, while others are speculating that Sony dropped her.

Her manager Benny Medina confirmed the split this morning.

"Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone Sony for all that they accomplished together."

Lopez insiders claim the decision was "a mutual one" between the star and label’s current CEO Rob Stringer (younger brother to Sony parent company CEO Howard Stringer). The rumor is the two had a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles during Grammy week, and, after a "heart-to-heart" conversation, the star and executive decided to end the long relationship. “It was all very amicable. They hugged at the end of the meeting,” claims one. Meanwhile, Sony will still be releasing her "Greatest Hits" album in the fall.

There also is disagreement on how finished her upcoming album was before it was canceled. Internet reports say her 7th studio album, titled "Love?", was supposed to come out in April. A song from it titled "Fresh Out The Oven" surfaced online in October 2009 as a buzz single and reached #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart. But the official lead single, "Louboutins", had its radio debut on November 23 following the song's premiere and performance at the 2009 American Music Awards and then peaked at #31 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.Lopez insiders claim the album was "by no means done" and everyone was "only a few songs into it" and "unlike movie dates, street dates rarely hold in the music biz". Others say the album isn't being released because "Louboutins" bombed, as did her performance at the American Music Awards.

Supposedly, Lopez hasn't wasted any time getting signed elsewhere: it’s rumored she is already in talks with Island Def Jam’s bigwig L.A. Reid to come to his label.

Could Jennifer stage a comeback? Or should she call it quits?
