Believe it or not, today Chayanne's turning 43 today, and the singer who looks even  hotter and sexier year after year will have a celebration that will be out of this world…. Literally! The party, hosted by journalist Lourdes Ruiz Toledo will not take place in a restaurant or at his private house, but rather…on cyberspace!

Today, all of his fan clubs from Spain, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, The United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and the Dominican Republic will unite in cyberspace to chat with the Puerto Rican superstar and celebrate his success and his birthday.

Apparently, there will be no limits to what the fans will be able to ask, while Ruiz Toledo from Miami guides the chat and interview the hottie herself!

The cyber party will take place today at 8:30 pm! There is no word yet if he'll have cake and all during the chat, although I definitely heard is a BYOB (bring your own booze) event!

Happy Birthday Chayanne!

Recognizing the best in music, film, sports and fashion, Univision's Premio Juventud has just unveiled its 2010 list of nominees. Earning nine mentions respectably are the Bachata sensation Aventura, Puerto Rican singer Chayanne and ex-RBD member Anahi.

Anahi's nomination sweep comes as a surprise to many since her album Mi Delirio has been considered a commercial flop. However, considering Premios Juventud is the only major awards where fans are in total control of the show (from voting for nominees to deciding the winners), it's clear Anahi has transferred much of RBD's followers to her solo career.

Other nominated musicians include Wisin y Yandel, Thalia, Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee, Tito "El Bambino, and many others.

Actors and athletes rounding out the nominee list include Telenovela star William Levy, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benicio de Toro, Zoe Saldana, Salma Hayek,  Alex Rodriguez, Lorena Ochoa and more.

Premios Juventud will be broadcast live by Univision at Miami's Bank United Center on Thursday July 15. The show — directed to young Latinos in the United States — also awards scholarships to outstanding students aspiring to attend college.

The epic collaboration between todos los mejores artistas del mundo de la música Latina has hit the airwaves.  It's a veritable who's who of Latin music, and all for a great cause -- helping raise funds for Haiti, following January's devastating earthquake.

Who can you spot in the video?  We're kinda digging on the remix portion where Pitbull and Daddy Yankee come in over the electric guitar... and we're dying to know, who is that mystery guitarrista?

Watch the video below, and weigh in -- que te parece la versión en Español?  Cual es tu parte favorita? Who else would you have liked to see in the video?

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.

We previously reported Emilio Estefan's plan to create a version of "We Are The World" in Spanish, and tomorrow in a Miami recording studio, he'll do just that. 

This is the first time the 25 year old track has been recorded in Spanish and all proceeds will benefit Haitian relief efforts. While the talent roster for the recording hasn't been announced as of yet, Thalia and Chayanne are rumored to be on board, and of course, we know Gloria will lend her stellar vocals to the remake. MTV Tr3s will be on site at the event, and we'll have a full recap right here on the blog so make sure you check back!

Are you excited to hear "We Are The World" en espanol? We definitely are!
