Think you know Pauly D from the Jersey Shore? Despite what you may have seen of the Rhode Island native on the MTV show, Paul Delvecchio is way more than just GTL and haircuts.

I bet you didn't even know that he recently toured with Britney Spears or that he just signed a deal with 50 Cent's G-Note Records. Now thanks to the upcoming Jersey Shore spin-off "The Pauly D Project" you definitely will. Honestly, it's about time we get a Jersey Shore spin-off and they couldn't have picked a better house mate to focus on than Pauly.

The reality show plans to follow the DJ through his adventures in the chaotic music industry and his rise to fist-pumping stardom. Unfortunately Snooki and the rest of the gang will not be along for the ride but the show promises to introduce an original cast of crazy characters that help Pauly along the way. Among these is Pauly's road manager, Michael "Biggie" Morgan and his personal bodyguard, Gerard "Big Jerry" Gialanella. MTV pokes at the fact that Pauly's new boss, Mr. 50 Cent himself, might make a couple of appearances.

The DJ revealed his thoughts on the new show,

"It'll probably be along the lines of, I used to be this DJ in Rhode Island DJing two sets a week, hustling, promoting. And all of a sudden, I'm on this show, and now they're sending private jets for me to DJ for these huge crowds, yet i'm still the same guy that was DJing for 200 people, just loving life."

Pauly D is just one of eight cast members who created a phenomenon that for the past five seasons has produced everything from Halloween costumes to novels (remember "A Shore Thing" by Nicole Polizzi aka Snooki?). There is no telling what Pauly D will have in store for fans when "The Pauly D Project" premieres, tune in at 10:30pm Thursday March 29th on MTV!

Two years later, controversy persists over Brittany Murphy's death. The actress' mother, Sharon Murphy, has filed a lawsuit against the attorneys that represented her in a suit against the builders of the home where Murphy died. She claims the lawyers never told her about a possible wrongful death suit due to mold in the house.

The lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court comes nearly two years after the Dec. 20, 2009 death of Murphy, which was followed by the May 2010 death of her husband Simon Monjack in the same house. Sharon Murphy apparently was not aware that toxic mold was a cause in the death of her daughter and son-in-law until this past summer, when she was in the process of selling the Hollywood Hills Home.

Los Angeles County coroner's office did not find any evidence of mold during the autopsies on Murphy and Monjack, although it did find that pneumonia was part of their deaths.

The suit says that the law firm first hired in early 2009 "should have known that Brittany and Simon had died and that their deaths were the result of complications from conditions associated with the subject property". The law firm “had a duty to advise and/or inform (Sharon Murphy) that she may have had a wrongful death claim.”

Sharon and Brittany Murphy had purchased the five-bedroom home from singer Britney Spears in June 2003 for $3.85 million. Spears lived there with Justin Timberlake until their relationship ended.

Do you think this lawsuit will be successful?

Just because Britney Spears turned 30 on December 2 doesn't mean she has to stop celebrating. In fact, the Femme Fatale chose to have her big birthday bash in Puerto Rico on the final night of her 2011 tour.

"Having an amazing time at my end of tour / belated bday party!" she tweeted, along with a celebratory picture.

Spears even brought her two sons, Jayden and Sean, to San Juan for the party. Smiling and posing with her tour crew, Britney happily blew out the candles on her very colorful, multi-layer cake.

And proving that she truly is a music icon, dozens of sites have been honoring the birthday girl this month. MTV.com posted a feature about her many accomplishments and ABC offered an in-depth retrospective on Spears' contributions (both good and bad ) to pop culture.

Happy Birthday Brit!

There is no denying that 2011 was the year of the Tweet. The hashtag social network had a major spike in popularity and was even responsible for breaking a few news stories. But are you curious as to what buzzwords got the most attention? Well guess no longer, Twitter has now released its annual Hot Topic list, which happens to include a few famous Latinos.

On the movie side of things, the 2011 Hot Topics all seemed to be based around comic book flicks. Films like Thor, The Dark Knight Rises, and X-Men: First Class dominated the list. But it’s also interesting to note that The Green Hornet (featuring Cameron Diaz) and Fast Five (with Elsa Pataky) scored high too, proving that sexy Latinas strike a very strong chord in the Twitterverse.

In the music realm, Rebecca Black (who's part Latina) was the number one Tweeted topic. Britney Spears showed she still has plenty of staying power with a #3 ranking for Femme Fatale. You've got to wonder if that massively successful Mexico concert contributed to her continuous stream of Tweets.

Names like Jennifer Lopez and Charlie Sheen dominated the Celebrity Hot Topics, along with several stars who have passed on. Elizabeth Taylor proved to be the most popular female celeb, followed not to far behind by fallen Jackass alum, Ryan Dunn.

In the sports world, teams like the Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks stirred up a flurry of activity. And so did Spanish soccer star, Fernando Torres. Interestingly, on the Hot Topics futbol list, Torres ranked higher than both Lionel "Leo" Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Curious about the most posted hashtags of 2011? Twitter went global for this one. #Egypt was by far the most popular, representing the civil unrest that happened there earlier in the year. #Japan ranked in the Top 5 too, as did #ThreeWordsToLiveBy and the Charlie Sheen catchphrase, #TigersBlood.

And, as a bonus, Hispanically Speaking compiled a list of the most famous Latinos to open Twitter accounts in 2011. That would be Christina Aguilera (who signed on in March), Eva Mendes (who joined in October), and good ol' Charlie Sheen, who's gathered 5.8 million followers in just nine months!

Britney Spears played a free concert for 60,000 fans on December 4th to celebrate the beginning of Mexico City's holiday season.

After nine years without a Britney concert in the area, the pop star returned to Mexico, only to offer playback, instead of singing live for the crowd. At least the fans didn't have to pay if they actually wanted to see her sing live, although they really didn't seem to mind.

Spears' concert wasn't, however, free for Mexico City. Mexico City paid Britney Spears a cool 2 million dollars to play at the Monumento a la Revolución. The concert was part of the December festivities organized by the city's local government.

Although Britney's holiday concert appearance failed to completely fill the venue with adoring fans, the fans who were present seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

"Tal como lo hizo una noche antes en el Foro Sol, donde congregó a 40 mil seguidores, 'La Princesa del Pop' salió al escenario del Monumento a la Revolución generando los gritos desesperados que la esperaban con ansias y, a ritmo de Hold it against Me, la cantante arrancó la velada", said a local newspaper.

Britney is currently touring Latin America to promote Femme Fatale, her latest album.

Have you ever seen Britney on tour? What did you think of her performance?

Britney Spears has an idol. Which Idol?  No...not  American Idol. Brit let the world know about her admiration for the Hot Nuyorican Powerhouse by saying that she loves Jennifer Lopez for her youthful beauty. Britney, who is about to turn 30, said in an interview with Now magazine that she hopes to be as beautiful as JLo when she turns 42.

The 29-year-old claimed that she's always been a huge fan of the American Idol judge, especially because of the way she has managed to keep herself in great shape after having twins.

JLo looks more amazing than ever and Britney really admires and respects that. I think we all do, there is no going around it: JLo is definitely a stunning powerhouse!

Britney also revealed that she shares beauty tips with her mother Lynne. One of her mom's beauty secrets is making sure she gets plenty of rest and lots of water. Does JLo nap half of the day and walk around with a portable water fountain? Not really, so although these are healthy advice tips, there has to be more to the secret of the JLo Glow!

Do you think Britney will be as hot as JLo when she's in her 40's?

We mentioned before how Britney Spears has a huge following in Latin America. And now, it looks like she's going to reward three million of her Latin fans with a free concert in Mexico City!

The performance will take place this Sunday at the capital’s Monumento a la Revolución. Federal District Mayor Marcelo Ebrand confirmed the news on his Twitter account, which his 240,000 followers immediately began reposting.

"Confirmarles que Britney Spears estará el domingo 4 a las 1900 hrs en el Monumento a la Revolución en el inicio de navidad," he wrote.

Spears is currently in the midst of a massive Latin American tour to promote her Femme Fatale album. This winter, she's got dates lined up in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Hopefully, if Brit is feeling generous enough, she'll perform a few freebies here in the states too.

Last night the city of Miami lit up as one of Mexico's greatest comedians, Adal Ramones, hit the stage at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium. This was the comedian's very first show in the city and one of his last stops on the Genios Del Humor North American Tour.

The high energy could be felt by all throughout the auditorium as the crowd continually yelled out "Adal!". Yet, it was clear that Adal didn't just come out for the laughs, as he jolted on stage with his trademark smile. He was touring with Genios Del Humor to bring back Hispanic stand-up comedy to the United States and to provide a stage for up and coming comedians, like Ecuadorian comedian Francisco Pinoargotti, whom he shared the stage with.

"Los Hispanos estamos presente en los Estados Unidos!", Ramones roared to the crowd.

Many local personalities and fellow artists came out to see the show, like Alexis Valdes, Ana Maria Canseco and Cuban Comedian Robertico.

Adal's monologue lasted almost two hours and the crowd could not get enough. He talked about everything, from his 10-year-old daughter asking him how babies are made to the not-so-logical ending of Titanic (I always asked myself the same question, why couldn't Rose share the door with Jack?!).

Needless to say, my abs got a good workout because I could not stop laughing even after the show was over. Adal's genius lies in his ability to take everyday experiences and connect with the audience in a way only a comedian of his caliber can.

His passion for making people laugh is evident as he told the crowd,

"Gracias por venir, pero más que todo gracias por sus risas!"

At the end of the show someone yelled out from the crowd "Otro Rollo!" which of course was the hit late night comedy show Adal hosted for more than a decade with some very memorable guests like Britney Spears, Will Smith and Shakira. To this outburst the comedian replied, "Regreso con Rollo el año que viene."

To say I'm excited is an understatement! If you were anything like me then you remember late Saturday nights watching Adal's monologues and sketches with your favorite artists- like my all time favorite sketch with Maná.

Its amazing to see a comedian like Adal Ramones representing Latinos all across the United States and I can only hope he'll come back to Miami soon.

What is your favorite 'Otro Rollo' moment?

"Ladies & gents, I'm excited to present to you the video for one of my favorite songs off of Femme Fatale, Enjoy", Brit tweeted.

In the video for her fourth Femme Fatale single, Criminal,  Britney Spears delivered an epic mini-movie, full of romance, violence, lust, intrigue, and a whole lot of make-out sessions with her real-life boyfriend, Jason Trawick.

The video begins with Spears and her mean British boyfriend at a posh event. After he gets emotionally and physically abusive, he drags her outside where he bitch-slaps her,  and that's when Trawick conveniently cruises up on his motorcycle like a knight in shining armor and gives it right back to the guy.

Britney then bolts from the stuck up prim-and-proper aristocratic lifestyle and discovers she's happier living life on the run with a Criminal. After they rob a convenience store at gunpoint, the video gets hot and steamy with intimate lovemaking @ the criminal's apartment, in the bed, in the shower and who knows where else they do it. It's certainly a peek at Brit and her beau's real life passion.

The video was shot in London before the kickoff of Britney’s European tour. Criminal shows a side of her that we have never seen... armed and dangerous! The use of guns during the shoot caught the attention of British Parliament, which questioned the role model that Britney should have.

All in all, this was a pretty entertaining video, it's hot, full of passion and with a touch of madness — just like Britney.

What do you think of  Britney's Criminal Video?
