The very excited mother-to-be, Paulina Rubio, has revealed the sex and name of her new bebé. Será un varoncito y se llamará Nicolás, after his father Nicolás Vallejo-Nájera.

La Chica Dorada has been anxiously waiting to find out this news, but the last time she had visited the doctor to find out the sex of her baby, el pequeño Nicolás was in such a position inside the womb that it wasn’t possible to determine his gender.

Though she had publicly confessed to wanting a little girl, no se puede negar su felicidad por este niño.

As mothers everywhere know, one of the perks of pregnancy is getting a free pass for eating to the heart’s content. She told about 1,800 Twitcam followers that so far, Pau-Pau’s cravings include "zanahorias con limón y chile piquín. Pepinos en vinagre y me gustan mucho los taquitos al pastor de pescado, el arroz y los camarones empanizados con mayonesa y chipotle."

She’s so small, it’s hard to imagine her eating all of these!

Paulina is in her fifth month of pregnancy and will be having her first baby shower in October. We’ll be scooping around for all the sweet baby details, so keep it here on Blogamole for the latest Pau-Pau news.

We know some Twihards can take their anger too far via Twitter, but they don't hold a candle to an apparent Jenni Rivera hater. Someone under the username “Zeettas” gave this chilling warning: “You're the next to die.” WTF?

A bit dramatic, don't you think? Rivera agrees and is shrugging it off as a bad joke.

Jenni tweeted:

“SI! Pero de la risa!!!!! Mmdlr! Los verdaderos asesinos no amenazan....idiot. Si los verdaderos zetas se dan cuenta que mandas estos mensajes...el muerto sera otro...RT”

Luckily, Rivera has people around her taking precautions and reported it to the authorities. The matter is currently under investigation. Good! No threats should be taken lightly.

At the sold out 2010 Summer Jam concert at New Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday night (June 6), Hot 97 showcased versatility and camaraderie between today's hottest R&B and hip-hop stars. Through rain and sunshine, the annual hip-hop concert brought out Nicki Minaj look-alikes, Diplomats fans, "Free Weezy" T-shirts and Trey Songz groupies (who can blame them?).

With Gucci Mane kicking off the event, everyone — including Summer Jam virgin Drake — blessed old fans with their classic hits, while converting others with new material.

Below is our list of Summer Jam performance highlights, ranked from most tantalizing to overrated.

Most Tantalizing: Trey Songz
It was very hard to keep our eyes off of Trey Songz. As videos for "I Invented/Say Ahh" and "Neighbors Know My Name" played behind him, Songz re-created an intimate night with an imaginary figure, telling the ladies, "I want you to use your imagination." Afterward, Songz brought up one lucky lady to pour water in her mouth and close his set with his hit "Say Aah," featuring Fabolous.

Most Enthusiastic: Drake
With his widely anticipated album, Thank Me Later, hitting stores on June 15th, it made sense that Drake was the most hyped of the night. A virgin to Summer Jam, Drake brought out Birdman and Nicki Minaj to pay tribute to his mentor Lil Wayne. A highlight was when he dropped to his knees, giving a shout out to his conglomerate and what got him on the map: TeenNick series, "Degrassi."

Most Deserving Of The Crown: Usher
As headliner of the night, Usher came out strong. Usher rocked the stage in all white everything, satisfying the crowd with classics like "You Make Me Wanna" to his most recent hit "OMG." Unfortunately, Usher didn't allow photographers to capture the moment.

Most Underrated: Ludacris
He may not have been the headliner, but no other artist on the bill had the entire crowd reciting every word to every song! From "Splash Waterfalls" to "How Low," Ludacris' talent and fame was undeniable.

Most Liked By The Masses: DJ Khaled and Friends
DJ Khaled temporarily stole the show by bringing up artists who made the fans go crazy: T-Pain (who was wearing an impressive Kool-Aid Man chain), Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Nicki Minaj, Barrington Levy, Fat Joe, Cam'ron, Freekey Zekey, Vado and Diddy's son, Justin. Khaled started and ended his set with the remix to "All I Do Is Win" and had the entire audience on their feet with "I'm So Hood."

Most Likely To Put Us In The Summer Jam Mood: Juelz Santana
Juelz Santana has graced the Summer Jam stage before. Instead of bringing up the rest of the Diplomats (for a highly anticipated reunion), Santana let us down easy by bringing up Lloyd Banks to wild up the crowd with hit, "Beamer, Benz and Bentley." According to MTV News, one source close to their camp said Jim Jones had some issues with security and police and was not granted entrance.

Most Fashionable: Fabolous
Fabolous is known for his over-sized tees, but this time around he surprised us by wearing studded sneakers and vest. He hyped up the crowd with tracks from his latest mixtape, There Is No Competition 2 (The Funeral Service) and a few classics like "Breathe."

Most Out Of Place: "Reflection Eternal"
Although featuring both Estelle and J.Cole on stage was a great surprise, Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek's (Reflection Eternal) performance was still a bit out of place.

You can catch most of these artists when they appear on VH1's Hip Hop Honors Awards tonight (June 7) at 9 PM EST!

Selena Gomez is currently working on a slightly harder follow-up to her 2009 debut album, Kiss & Tell. The album, which she released with her band The Scene, was a pop record and Gomez recently said she wants to go a bit funkier and a bit edgier with her sophomore effort. (MTVNews)

Yesterday's devastating 7.0 terremoto en Haiti left the city of Port-Au-Prince in a horrifying state of destruction.  El país, which shares la isla con la República Dominicana, hasn't experienced an earthquake of this magnitude in 200 years.  Millones de personas have been left without homes or food, and thousands more have lost loved ones in the destruction.

Wyclef Jean, one of Haiti's most famous exports, has asked todo el mundo to help his Haitian brothers and sisters in any way possible.  El artista stated the following on his website:

"I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now. President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands 'ready to assist' the Haitian people. The U.S. military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible."

For an already impoverished nation like Haiti to be hit this hard, we can only imagine the amount of time and money it will take to recover.  Quieres ayudar?

The American Red Cross has a full-time staff on the ground in Haiti, providing ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention and disaster preparedness programs, and has already pledged an initial $200,000 to assist communities impacted by the earthquake. They seek additional donations to continue providing food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support.

Also, Wyclef's own organization, Yele Haiti will also be accepting donations to help people affected by the disaster.  Visit the website or text YELE to 501 501 to donate $5 to the relief fund.

Wisin y Yandel won the top dos lenguas at last week's Los Premios MTV 2009, for "Artista del Año" y "Video del Año."  As we reported last week, el Dúo Dinámico dedicated their "Artist of the Year" Premio to 50 Cent, who they credit with making este año tan especial para ellos.  MTV News and MTV Tr3s caught up with the trio on the red carpet before the show, where we got 50's two cents on working con los reggaetoneros.  Watch what the rapper had to say below.

Como pueden ver, 50 Cent regards working in the Latin market as an opportunity.  In fact, el rapero is so confident in his work with Wisin y Yandel, that he believes they will win the Latin Grammy they are nominated for este año.

"This is exciting — when they win, I'm gonna finally win my trophy!"

Wisin también está de acuerdo.

"That nomination confirms what I've said all along, which is that these collaborations are necessary.  50 Cent was never nominated for a Latin Grammy. Then he works with Wisin y Yandel, and he scores a nomination. And there's a good chance that he'll win, because that song is an international hit."

T-Pain, who is also collaborating with Wisin y Yandel on "Imaginate" for their upcoming remix album, 'La Evolución,' también piensa que este es el mejor momento para colaboraciones entre artistas Latinos y anglos.

"[Our collaboration is] going to put them in my world and help put me in their world."

Este verdaderamente es el momento para 'La Evolución' de la musica latina.  With so many collaborations between Latin and English-speaking artists, you know there's a new wave of Latin pride that's sure to follow!  Que viva el orgullo Latino!!  [MTV News]

Haven't been able to catch Los Premios or just reeeeally want to watch it again (no te preocupes, we're sure you're not alone!)?  Tune-in to MTV Tr3s esta noche a las 7pm EST to see Los Premios MTV 2009 otra vez!

Well, you don't have to imagine, porque es una realidad! We told you before about how MTV News caught up with el dúo de la historia, Wisin y Yandel, on the LA set of their latest video "Imagínate" with Mr. Auto-Tune himself, T-Pain.

If the title sounds familiar to you, it's because W & Y recorded a track by the same name with their ex-homie Tony Dize. But since they're no longer affiliated, parece que decidieron grabar esta versión en Spanglish with T-Pain.

The new video, directed by Jessy Terrero, has a funeral scene filmed at a cemetery complete with coffin, black dress code, and, just in case tears weren't enough, water works galore! I'm sure we can expect a very cinematic video from Jessy, como siempre! We can't wait to see it!

But in the meantime, check out a message from W & Y, courtesy of MTV News. [MTV News]

Earlier this week, President Obama and the First Lady celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by inviting over some major estrellas de la música Latina, and some other famous celebs. But we have a weakness for Aventura (doesn't everyone?), so we're bringing you a clip of their performance of "Su Veneno," courtesy of PBS and MTV News. Listen up for Romeo's recount of a conversation with the President, and a shout out to Justice Sotomayor, who's also from the Bronx!

Enjoy!
