Ever since the story broke about Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit over the song "Give Me Everything," the press has been clamoring for a Pitbull statement. And on Wednesday, Mr. 305 finally piped up. Speaking to Univision, the Miami rapper actually took the high road when discussing Lindsay in Spanish.

"No entiendo, es algo positivo" he said. "Soy una persona que apoyo a Lindsay Lohan a todas las personas que la prensa Lo llevan hasta el techo y luego lo a tiran hasta el piso y hacen todo lo que quieren con la vida de estos artistas, esa es la razón que yo dije en esa parte de la canción".

Lohan seemed to think the line "locked up like Lindsay Lohan" was damaging to her image. Pit obviously believes otherwise and said that he supports her and that the track's success could actually help her career.

He even offered to invite Lindsay to this weekend's VMAs as a sign of good will. Somehow we doubt she'll accept, but let's hope it at least changes her mind about taking Mr. 305 to court.

Do you think Lindsay has any chance of winning? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

We're only halfway through the week, but that doesn't stop the tabloids from generating some juicy gossip. Let's see what rumors they have cooked up so far this week.

1. Jada Cheating With Marc Anthony

Within hours of reporting a Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith split, tabloids have reported that Marc Anthony, J-Lo's hubby, is rumored to be the reason for this split. Other gossip rags are denying that rumor, saying that the Jada and Marc union is merely a fantasy. Will and Jada have denied their split, and rumors of infidelity have been dispelled by the couple as well. Tabloids disagree, however, and report Will was the one who got the surprise when he decided to spontaneously pop in on his wife of 13 years, but left crying instead. Which of these chismes do you believe?

2. Jennifer Aniston is Expecting

There have been reports of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux settling down and trying to have a baby. Friends say the couple has been moving fast, but they feel they are ready to move onto a new stage in their relationship and take that next step. They just came back from a vacation together in which Jen was said to have adhered to a stringent dietary and yoga regimen, because she was detoxing. Friends have also reported her having bouts of morning sickness, suggesting a baby may soon be on its way. Really?

3. Rihanna May Have  Sex Tape

It's been a while since good sex tape gossip has circulated around the internet. Well, rest easy, Rihanna broke that drought with a rumor that she and singer J Cole have made a sex tape based on screen shots and the report that he had lost his phone. Rihanna was recently spotted in Barbados with Cole, who was filming a video, during a brief hiatus she had taken from her tour.

4. Rumors of Jorge Ramos and Ana Barbara Romance

It was heard through the grapevine that Jorge Ramos has been involved in a relationship with singer Ana Barbara, who is currently pregnant from artificial insemination. Now las malas lenguas are wondering whether he could be the father of her baby. However, Ana Bárbara denied it this Wednesday, saying, "Quiero dejar en claro que el Sr. Jorge Ramos, a quien conozco poco pero admiro desde hace muchos años, “NO ES EL PADRE DE MI HIJO".

5. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds Engaged?

For a long time, public sightings of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have spawned rumors of their potential romance and engagement. After Sandra's divorce to Jesse James in June of 2010 and Ryan Reynolds' divorce to Scarlett Johansson in December 2010, the co-stars have been seen getting cozier and cozier with each other. Let's hope she's finally found Mr. Right. It's only fair. Jesse is living it up with Kat Von D, why can't Bullock have a little fun? However, rumors of her engagement seem to be exaggerated.

Which one of these juicy rumors do you think are true?

It's hard to believe that Hispanic Heritage Month is just a few weeks away. This year, you can expect quite a few famous faces honoring everything Español, including your favorite characters from Sesame Street. Yup, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and more are ready to get in touch with their inner Latino.

September 26th marks the kickoff of Sesame’s 42nd season and its creators have plenty of fun episodes planned. The one that we're most excited about is entitled, "The Latinization of Marco."

Based around the character of Gina, the episode will follow her as she learns about the culture of her adopted Guatemalan hijo. Marco, Gina's son, arrived four seasons ago and has been very popular with Latino viewers. He also happens to have a few famous fans as well.

In the "Latinization" episode, Marco will get to meet both Juanes and Sofía Vergara. Vergara will teach him (and the home audience) several important Spanish words and Juanes will discuss South America and perhaps whip out his trademark guitar.

The Sesame staff seems to be very excited about the special episode, especially since it encourages viewers to learn new languages.

"Sesame Street’s curriculum fosters children's natural inclinations to ask questions and encourages investigation and experimentation in order to make new discoveries,"Sesame Workshop Vice President Dr. Rosemarie Truglio explained.

And though they won't be appearing in the "Marco" episode, plenty of other high-profile Latinos have lined up appearances for season 42. Expect to see Rico Rodriguez, George Lopez, Bruno Mars, and even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in the upcoming weeks.

Additionally, Sesame has booked Nicole Kidman for her first-ever appearance and locked in Robin Williams, Conan O'Brien, and Carmelo Anthony for drop ins. But we have a feeling that it won't be the celebrities getting the littlest viewers excited. They can look forward to brand new "Super Grover" segments.

Say what you will about Marco Rubio, he's definitely got quick reflexes. The Cuban-American Senator got major kudos in the media this week for catching Nancy Reagan after she accidentally fell.

Nancy and Marco were walking side-by-side at California's Ronald Reagan Library when the tumble took place. Apparently the 90-year-old former First Lady lost her footing and Rubio quickly grabbed her before she hit the ground.

"She's just fine," a spokesman for the Library said. "Our aisles were crowded and she tripped on a stanchion, but recovered quickly, and we started the program on time."

The "program" happened to be a special event in Marco's honor. The 40-year-old Florida rep gave a speech to the crowd and answered one particularly burning question. When asked if he would consider running for Vice-President on the 2012 Republican ticket, he firmly said no.

Don't worry Olympics fans, you don't have to wait until next summer to enjoy the swimming, gymnastics, and weightlifting matches we know and love. This October, Guadalajara will be hosting the 2011 Pan American Games and they've brought along Ricky Martin to perform at the ceremonies.

Ricky will actually be singing during the closing night. There's no word on what exact hits he'll be belting out, but we'd say "Shake Your Bon-Bon" would be a safe bet.

The Games themselves promise to deliver plenty of excitement too. In total, there will be over 360 events spread across two weeks and nearly every country in Latin America will be participating.

We're sure Martin and his extended fam will have a blast being a part of the Pan American experience. And seeing how the closing ceremony falls on October 30, they'll be able to enjoy a bit of Mexico's Día de las Muertos festivities too.

We love it when music artists step out of their comfort zone. And this week's hot single, "Lighters," is a perfect example of that. Rappers Eminem and Royce Da 5’9” have added a nice bit of Doo Wop crooning to the song, thanks to guest Bruno Mars.

The "Lighters" video just made its big debut and actually does a great job of mixing different genres. On one end, there's the rough rap angle, encapsulated by dark underground scenes. But there are also plenty of light elements, which include a beautifully shot outdoor finale.

The song is available on Em and Royce's Hell The Sequel album, which has already gone to #1 on the charts. And don't think they brought Mars along as a hired hand. He helped co-write and co-produce the track.

Is there a chance we could get a surprise "Lighters" performance at Sunday's VMAs? Anything's possible and, to be honest, it would be a fantastic live tune to hold your illuminated iPhone up to.

Who says girls don't read comic books? Believe it or not, one of the most popular underground titles on the market involves a trio of sexy heroines. Entitled Danger Girl, it first hit the scene back in the late 1990's and now is on its way to becoming a major Hollywood movie. Best of all, Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, and Sofía Vergara are attached to star!

First published in 1998, Danger Girl follows the lives of three gorgeous agents sent on secret missions throughout the world. Mixing elements of James Bond and Charlie’s Angels, it's definitely heavy on the Grrrl Power but has artwork and storylines guys can appreciate too.

In fact Danger Girl has become so popular, the three main leads (Abbey Chase, Sydney Savage, and Natalia Kassle) got their own action figures. There was even a Playstation game based on their adventures.

The movie still is in the very early stages of development. It is unclear which Girl Sofia will play, but we're putting our money on Abbey Chase (the linguistics master). Milla and Kate would make awesome costars, so we're seriously hoping this project gets off the ground.

Do you think Sofía Vergara would make a good secret agent? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Good news chisme followers, Hollywood romance is not dead! Though it looked like one of tinseltown's favorite couples was calling it quits, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett have gone on record denying their breakup.

In a joint statement, the two told the media,

"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

The gossip blogs were burning up today with news about their split. There had been rumors of infidelities, sightings of Will without his ring, and more. But if Smith and Pinkett are willing to dispel the story publicly, that's good enough for us.

And they weren't the only members of the Smith family working to clear things up. Will's oldest son Trey hit the Twitterverse to add his two cents to the issue.

"Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split!" he posted. "False information ... its not true RETWEET!!! Everyone can think what they want ... even if its not true."

How do you think the breakup rumor got started? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Get ready for a whole lot of theories. Reports have just come in that a 5.8 earthquake struck a good portion of the east coast. Areas ranging from Washington D.C., to North Carolina, to New York felt the rattle.

As we all know, it's usually the fault lines in the west that receive the most jolts. Quakes in areas like California are pretty much commonplace. But a 5.8 magnitude shaker centered in Virginia? Now that's pretty rare.

The rattler reportedly lasted 30 seconds and led to several evacuations in D.C. and New York. No major injuries have been reported and structural damage in the cities has been minimal.

But the question on everyone's mind is, what caused it? Could there be unknown fault lines running across Richmond or Virginia Beach? Was there some sort of geological shift in the Earth's plates?

Sure she had her issues, but there is no denying the talent of Amy Winehouse. And since her untimely passing last month, there have been a slew of tributes from her musical peers. Green Day wrote a song to her, tons of memorial concerts have been staged, and MTV has been talking about recognizing her at this weekend's Video Music Awards.

"We had a great history with Amy," VMA executive producer Amy Doyle told Billboard. "She was very near and dear to us.”

And there are plenty of more Amy updates in the news. Apparently her toxicology reports have been released and they show no signs of illegal substances in Winehouse's system at the time of her death.

Obviously that's comforting news for the family and can silence the naysayers who have been tainting her memory with overdose rumors. Amy's father Mitch spoke proudly of his daughter and her ability to defeat her demons before her passing.

"Three years ago, Amy conquered her drug dependency," he said. "The doctors said it was impossible, but she really did it. She was trying hard to deal with her drinking and had just completed three weeks of abstinence."

The full Winehouse inquest is set to be complete by October and you can look for more Amy tributes at the MTV VMAs this Sunday night.
