All we have to say after hearing this story is, OUCH! It seems regional star Alejandro Fernandez suffered a painful injury in Colorado over the weekend, after an unforeseen mishap on the ski slopes.

Though the details of the accident are still unclear, it appears Fernandez fractured his shinbone and had to undergo emergency surgery. "El Potrillo" did seem to have a good attitude about it all, assuring fans that he'll be making a full recovery.

"Thank you all for caring, I am fine, for medical reasons I will have to get some rest and I can't put any weight on my leg," he said. "Fortunately they already operated on me, now the most important thing is rehab, so I am staying in good spirits to be 100% again."

Alejandro is the son of Mexican folk god Vicente Fernandez and has been a huge concert draw for over 20 years. Let's hope he gets well (and back on the stage again) very soon!

We've been celebrating Mexico's Bicentennial with a video of congratulations from Jessica Alba, Wilmer Valderrama and more, but now that the day has come and gone, more celebs have been sending their "Viva Mexico!" shout-outs via twitter.

We always expect to get a laugh from funnyman George Lopez and he didn't disappoint:

"Feliz Mexican Independence Day ! .Remember " Drink Responsibly ". TILL it gets dark .. Then get A F U. ! #vivamexico"

La bella Anahí took a more heartfelt approach bringing music to our ears as her Mexican pride was evident:

"Ser mexicano es llevar en la sangre la determinacion, la fe, la alegria, la fiesta, la imaginacion. Ser Mexicano va mas alla de haber nacido en este pais...Es un compromiso,un contrato de honor, orgullo y fortaleza. Te amo Mexico!"

Thalía took it up a notch and decided to celebrate with a link to her 1997 throwback video "Amor a la Mexicana."

"A celebrar nuestra gran fiesta, a la mexicana! Thalia - Amor a la mexicana (music video) youtube.com/watch?v=SSPXcq… via @youtube"

And last but certainly not least, Alejandro Fernandez was also pumped up as he celebrated the bicentennial while performing a concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"Listo p el grito!! Sera un gran concierto, hay k celebrar k somos mexicanos!! Viva Mexico!!"

To begin the show, Fernandez was intoxicating donned in an all black suit, but what was really off-the-charts-smoking-hot was the twitvid he posted of himself dressed in full charro regalia as he shouted “Viva Mexico!".

Aqui en Blogamole le queremos desear un muy Feliz Bicentenario a nuestros hermanos Mexicanos! Felicidades Mexico!!

One of the greatest nights in Latin music came alive with a spectacular three-stage opening performance featuring Chayanne, Thalía and Alejandro Fernández who sang some of their most recent hits as well as long time favorites.

Reggaeton king Daddy Yankee surprised everyone with one of the biggest productions of the night set against a virtual, futuristic backdrop that included a special lightning effect for the live, blowout premiere of his latest single “Descontrol.”

While bachata group Aventura mesmerized the audience as they flew through the arena on top of a bridge for their medley performance of “Su Veneno” and the live premiere of “Dile al Amor.”

Pop diva Paulina Rubio performed an exclusive remix of her most recent hit “Ni Rosas Ni Juguetes,” which was broadcast with a special black and white effect, only seen by viewers at home, resembling an old wild-west movie.

Additional performances included:  Héctor “El Torito” Acosta's “Sin Perdón” with Colombian duo Jorge Celedón and Jimmy Zambrano,  Paquita la Del Barrio sang “Rata de Dos Patas”;  Nelly Furtado’s crossover performance of “Manos al Aire,” pop artist Pee Wee’s performance of a special mix of his hit “Quédate”; Jenni Rivera’s performance of “Ya Lo Sé"; the live debut of Tito “El Bambino’s” new single “Te Pido Perdón”; Alejandro Fernández and Chayanne performed their respective hits “Se Me Va La Voz” and “Me Enamoré de Ti”; and a fantastic closing number by Puerto Rican merengue group Grupo Manía which brought the audience to its feet.

Alejandro Fernandez released his two highly-anticipated new albums today, y el cantante is featuring two very distinct sides of himself con cada uno.  One album, 'Dos Mundos: Evolución,' explores Alejandro's pop side, while 'Dos Mundos: Tradición' highlights su amor por la música regional Mexicana.

'Tradición' was co-produced by el célebre Joan Sebastian, and the album also features a duet with him llamado "Las Siete," in addition to a collaboration con Marco Antonio Solis llamada "Mi Rechazo." Los dos albums were also released as a special collector's edition double-CD, now available on iTunes and in-stores.  Check out Alejandro Fernandez's e-card for more info on the albums. In addition, Alejandro recently released two singles to support the albums: "Se Me Va La Voz" (una canción pop) y "Estuve" (Regional Mexican), which have been battling it out on the radio and video front.  Watch the videos below, y cuéntanos, which track do you like better?  Do you think Alejandro Fernandez es mejor como cantante de rancheras or he is a bonafide pop estrella?

We said sueñan, not duermen... malpensados!

It looks like Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado y el ícono de la música ranchera, Alejandro Fernandez, hooked up in Miami to record one of the tracks for Nelly's first full-length Spanish album Mi Plan. "Sueños" is the song that brought them together to fuse their musical talent for one of several collaborations on Nelly's latest, release this past September. Other great collabs include Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas, y hasta La Mala Rodríguez.

Currently, Alejandro can be found in Guadalajara prepping for his own album release, Dos Mundos, which promises to show fans both sides of his world, the regional Mexican and his cross over into pop music. Le deseamos mucha suerte a Alejandro!

You can check out a bit of Nelly and Alex working together at The Hit Factory in Miami, during the recording of "Sueños" right here. [NellyFurtado.com]
