The Rock has come back to wrestling!

Wrestling fans got a special treat when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made an appearance on Monday Night RAW on Feb. 14. The People's Champ, decked out in all black with the words “I Bring It” spread across his splendid chest, announced to the crowd, “After seven long years, finally The Rock has come back, (queue the long pause) home!”

He then electrified the WWE crowd by announcing that he will host Wrestlemania XXVII on April 3. If you're familiar with the WWE, you know there's always a surprise looming. We're willing to bet that The Rock will also “layeth the smackdown” at Wrestlemania in some capacity, with John Cena on his radar.

WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross expressed his sentiments on Twitter:

“Dwayne Johnson's classic 'Rock' promo 2nite on RAW was the best thing on RAW in recent memory. Young wrestlers hopefully paid attention.”

Despite being trashed, even Cena was enamored by The Rock's performance:

“CeNation. Rock was in rare form tonight," Cena tweeted. "It was great to see him enjoying himself out there. Even if it was at my expense. I've been called a lot worse. Just glad to see him back in action.”

We couldn't agree more. Just knowing The Rock will be there already makes Wrestlemania XXVII more interesting. Can you smell it?

Camila’s going bilingual. According to Latin Gossip, the Mexican pop group plans to re-record their latest smash album, Dejarte De Amar, in another language. No, it won't be in English, but rather in Italian.

Lead singer Samo confirmed that the trio has already recorded songs in Italiano and has already received positive feedback.

“It was a very enriching to record in another language,” he said. “It was also a little difficult for me; it may seem easy but it’s not.”

Though the languages are both derived from Latin, conjugations and contexts vary heavily between the two, which means Camila lyricist Mario Domm probably had a little help with the translations.

Italian, considered one of the romance languages, is perfect for conveying the emotion and longing that Camila's songs are famous for. Mario himself seemed rather inspired by Italy, tweeting last month,

“Just wrote several songs on a trip to Italy. Life amazes me so much.”

The new album still does not have a release date, but we imagine when it comes out it would be a perfect accompaniment to Susanna Zaraysky’s Language Is Music.

Whether it’s J.Lo in the judge’s seat or Chris Medina singing his heart out, Season 10 of American Idol is definitely packing some Latin heat. Colombian-, Mexican- and Cuban-American crooners dominated the auditions, but with big cuts underway, only a few lucky Latinos are packing their bags for next week’s trip to Vegas.

Fan favorite Chris Medina is advancing. Just as his story captured our hearts, so did his talent, especially when he brought out an acoustic guitar for a stellar unplugged version of “My Prerogative” on Thursday's episode.

Los Angeles native Julie Zorrilla showed that her range extended way beyond mere singing chops when she brought out a keyboard for a jazzy Sara Bareilles jam. Though fans have shown mixed reactions, she could hang on and surprise people in the coming weeks.

LuisMi fans have something to be excited about with this year’s lineup. Cuban-American contestant Jovanny Barreto offered up an impressive version of Miguel’s “Contigo en la Distancia” during his audition and is still in the running. Could his shirtless stunt have had something to do with it?

Puerto Rican dancer Tiffany Rios made it all the way to Hollywood, but unfortunately got cut earlier in the week after a lackluster performance. Though her personality was larger than life, she ultimately got a thumbs down from Jennifer, Steven and Randy.

Next week, things will start to get serious, as American Idol whittles the group down to the final 24 in Sin City. Contestants will be expected to belt out Beatles tunes on the “LOVE” stage amid the colors and ambiance of Cirque du Soleil. Let’s hope our favorite Latinos channel some rocking versions of John, Paul, George and Ringo!

Are you one of Jessica Alba’s one million Twitter followers? If so, you were one of the first to find out that the Machete star is pregnant with her second child — a baby girl.

“It's been a while since I've been on FB & I thought I'd drop by to let you all in on some exciting news > Honor is going to be a Big Sister!" Alba revealed on both Facebook and Twitter. "Cash and I are thrilled and wanted to share the news directly with you so you didn't hear about it somewhere else. I appreciated all of the love and support you all gave me during my first pregnancy and will definitely appreciate it again this time around. Have a great day! Jess.”

Nearly 1,000 fans left comments of love and support for Alba and her hubby, Cash Warren, on Facebook, and more than 4,000 members “Liked” Jessica’s new status.

“Thank you for the wonderful messages!" she tweeted Wednesday. "They really mean a lot to me.”

Jessica’s first child, Honor Marie, arrived in 2008 and became a hot commodity after her birth. OK! Magazine paid more than $1.5 million for the exclusive first pictures of the adorable baby girl. Now that Jessica’s even more famous, we imagine snaps of the new little lady will fetch an even heftier amount.

First Jay-Z and Beyonce, now this. There seems to be something about Valentine’s Day that always gets the gossip sites buzzing about breakups. The latest rumors now involve Mexican songstress Paulina Rubio and her husband of three years, Nicolás Colate Vallejo Nájera.

It’s hard to believe that this happy couple, who were photographed over the holidays celebrating with their newborn son, Nicolás Jr., could be headed for divorce. But Generaccion.com is reporting that Pau Pau spent V-Day apart from her hubby and very much alone.

Papa Nicolás, on the other hand, reportedly spent the romantic February weekend partying with actress Eva Longoria and her new younger beau Eduardo Cruz. There are also rumors that Paulina is in the middle of a deep depression since the passing of her father and Nájera has not been around to support her.

Could Pau Pau’s favorite social media outlet hold some clues? Though she did post several tweets on Valentine’s Day, none were directed to her new baby daddy. Lately she’s been professing her love for something completely different.

“Happy valentines! Food is love! But love is love mmmm comida”

Perhaps if Nicolás brushes up on his baking tips, the vicious rumors will begin to fade away.

Christian Cota and J.Mendel both forayed into the fall 2011 fur fiasco, but the always elegant and sophisticated Carolina Herrera nailed the look with full fur coats and simple embellishments on collars and cuffs.

Herrera — a self-proclaimed designer for "real women" — presented a streamlined collection of flattering A-line cuts in rich fabrics such as wool, velvet and silk. The Venezuelan designer accented the red, brown and gray earth tones with sequins, beads and this year's accessory of choice — classic waist-cinching belts — which can be worn with everything from dresses to pant suits to everyday wear.

Front row attendees included Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks. Herrera also attended a number of other shows this week, including a front row spot at Prabal Gurung.

In Herrera's spare time this NYFW, the impeccably dressed designer also frequented a few shows, sitting front row at Prabal Gurung.

Narciso Rodriguez is known for designing body-hugging cocktail dresses that have adorned such fashionistas as Jessica Alba, Zoe Saldana and Lake Bell. Lately, however, the designer's collections have boasted a longer, looser composition favored by such women as La Primera Dama Michelle Obama.

Who are you calling Twilight? Sure, movie studios and marketers would like you to think that I Am Number Four is the extra-terrestrial equivalent of the popular teen angst film franchise, but we’re here to tell you it’s much more than that. Huge explosions, flying wombat beasts, supernatural alien powers and a plethora of over-the-top stunts make this flick a must-see for sci-fi fans of every generation.

Based on a book of the same name, I Am Number Four has talent on both sides of the camera. The cast includes several new faces, including England’s Alex Pettyfer in the title role and Australian natives Teresa Palmer and Callan McAuliffe. Behind the scenes, Four brought together screenwriters from the classic cult shows Smallville and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The story actually contains bits of several science-fiction favorites. Borrowing themes from the Terminator and Superman, Number Four tells the story of John Smith (Pettyfer), a teenage alien on the run from outer-space annihilators known as the Mogadorians. The “Mogs” are determined to wipe out John’s race, having already finished off Numbers One, Two and Three.

Hiding out in the small Ohio town of Paradise, John and his protector Henri (Timothy Olyphant) try to blend in the best that they can. But once his otherworldly superpowers emerge, life under the radar becomes much harder to manage.

The film also ties in a love story reminiscent of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Glee’s Dianna Agron plays an all-American high school student who finds herself in an intense intergalactic romance.

Will it all work out? We can't tell you that, but they do put up one heck of a fight.

Although the movie’s masterminds say they’re going to wait and see how the film performs before greenlighting I Am Number Five, Six and Seven, this writer certainly hopes they do. There are plenty of great characters to explore and interesting questions to answer.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a great post-Valentine’s date movie that blends guy-friendly action and girl-friendly romance (there’s even a cute puppy dog), set your sights on I Am Number Four.

Could hip-hop power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé really be headed for splitsville?

Media Take Out reported that couple, who married in 2008, is making a “trial separation” — with Jay-Z, 41, signing a lease to move into a Los Angeles mansion and Beyoncé, 29, staying in New York City.

"The biggest thing [they argue about] is about kids, [Jay] wants them and Beyoncé doesn't," a source close to Jigga told the gossip site. "It's all about her career, and she doesn't want to slow down."

"The hope is that with the time apart, the couple will decide to either have kids, or go their separate ways."

Solo Bey was photographed on Valentine's Day with her sister Solange and former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — but without her wedding ring.

Celebrity sources told the site the couple was so tense at the Gucci and RocNation pre-Grammy Luncheon on Saturday, Feb. 12, that “they didn't even look each other in the eye.”

That's too bad. We really hope they work things out.
