Blogamole › Calle 13

Before the Britney acceptance speeches and the Jonas Bros jokes took place...

MTV Tr3s partied like a rock star in Los Angeles the week leading up to the Video Music Awards. They hosted a grand ol' party at Level 3 with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jade from ANTM, Judy Reyes of "Scrubs" fame and rapper Malverde in the house. The night's highlights included an avant-garde performance from Calle 13 alongside their sis PG 13, and Colby O'Donis making the girls swoon with his smooth-operating lyrics.

In case you slip-up and miss the memo, don't worry! You can catch the exclusive performances of faves like "Atrévete-te-te" plus new songs like "No Hay Nadie Como Tu" when it airs on MTV Tr3s Saturday, September 20th @ 1:30 pm.

The party doesn't stop there, after that you and abuelita can veg out and watch the MTV VMAs - this time with spanish subtitles included - when they follow on MTV Tr3s September 20th @ 2pm.

We warned you! When it comes to fiestas we do not play around! MTV Tr3s kicked-off the Video Music Awards weekend early with our Tr3s Pre-Party. We danced our culitos off to Calle 13's raw performance, while their sister Lleana (a.k.a PG 13) spent la noche twirling a pink umbrella and free-balling in a not so PG 13 tank top and booty shorts!

As Residente and Visitante took the stage they warned fans about their unrehearsed gig, which included the Boricua duo dropping the F bomb every other second! Con suerte, they cleaned up their act right before playing their hit song "Pal Norte." Residente dedicated the song to "all the immigrants of the world" and hoped that either Obama or McCain "have a good plan for the immigration issue."

Staying true to their musical discourse, Calle 13 confessed that politics and socially marginalized subjects take center stage in their latest album "Los De Atras Vienen Conmigo." René explained that the title of the new compilation is dedicated to people that are ostracized for being different. They also admitted that the title represents how they feel within the traditional genero urbano and among other reggaeton artists.

Perhaps El Residente was dropping a hit on his recent drama with Ivy Queen, but he didn't want to touch the subject because it has gotten too much publicity. Smart move considering La Caballota's recent comments!

Regardless, the group was keeping it positive and drama-free throughout the evening. El Residente and his novia former Miss Universe Denise Quiñones were caught chillin' in the V.I.P room and some of our spies even caught Miss Denise doing a sexy curtain dance for her novio! These two definitely look in love, and René confessed that they have talked about marriage, but there are no official plans yet.

Oye the chismes were on fire last night, but the real Calle 13 action was even better. Keep your eyes locked to Blogamole; we'll announce when the performances from the Tr3s party are available for your viewing pleasure today.

Forget waiting until Friday to get the fin de semana started!

We're celebrating the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latino style (pass the piñatas, güey) by throwing a pre-game fiesta tonight at Los Angeles' Level 3 club. Did we mention that Calle 13 and Colby O'Donis are performing, only to be joined by a slew of hot latin celebs on the red carpet?

Calle 13 will treat party goers to songs from their new album "Los de Atras Vienen Conmigo," as well as classic cuts like "Atrévete Te, Te!" and "Pal Norte." This is the FIRST time that fans will hear new Calle tunes; fans of the Puerto Rican duo have been chomping at the bit for new developments since Calle 13 took over the Latin Grammys in 2006 with awards for their self-titled debut album.

Colby (and a special guest) will be his smooth self at the show, performing a fifteen minute set including "What You Got" in Spanish and "So Sick of Love" unplugged.

We're chillin' stageside at Level 3 right now for Calle 13's rehearsal. There's no sign of Residente or Colby yet, but Visitante strolled in ready for la parranda while rockin' a Christopher Walken tee-shirt. His sister also came ready for the mayhem by wearing a red clown nose while kicking back with the band.

We can spoon feed you all the details, but we'd rather you see it for yourself. Stay tuned for more chisme from rehearsals, and then watch FULL VIDEO COVERAGE OF CALLE 13 and COLBY O' DONIS' performances from the Tr3s VMA Pre-Party tomorrow, September 5th in the following places:

We can't get enough of René this week!

Besides the brewing battle between him and fellow Boricua Ivy Queen, el Residente is still openly sporting his love for former Miss Universe Denise Quiñones. While Calle 13 was rehearsing in L.A. last night for their upcoming performance at the exclusive MTV Tr3s VMA Pre-Party, Residente not only walked in with Denise but dedicated his performance of "No Hay Nadie Como Tu" to his longtime novia.

Political, cute AND romántico! Denise better hold on to this one no matter what her padres say! It makes us wonder if the simulated wedding scene between Denise and René in the “Tango Del Pecado" video will soon happen in real life. ¿Qué piensas?

Last week we reported that beef was brewin' between René Pérez and Ivy Queen, and now la reina is digging her nails into the drama without mercy!

Despite claims that La Caballota is hating on Calle 13's shine, the Boricua states that she is actually serving as René's muse since the duo's new track "Q Lloren" supposedly mocks her hit single “Que lloren."

She sparked the battle with a few threatening words:

Yo me estoy sintiendo elogiada por un charlatán al que le voy a estar sirviendo de musa en uno de los cortes de su disco.

Word travels fast in el barrio! René Pérez recently decided to respond to Ivy Queen's supposed two-face ways.

According to reports, La Caballota has been hating on the Puerto Rican duo's six-Grammy win by calling them a fake urban rap group. Rumors eventually reached El Visitante's hood, which inspired the rapero to address La Reina's disses in the group's new track “Q lloren.”
