PeeWee has publicly confirmed he has no interest in a reunion between himself, A.B. Quintanilla, and Cruz Martinez. We've known for some time that Pee Wee has been focusing on his solo career, but the fact that he hasn't dropped an album as of yet left fans speculating and hoping that he may join forces with his old band mates again.

Pee Wee was recently asked by NXclusiva if he would join forces again with A.B. and Cruz on stage, and had this to say:

“The truth is that I am focused on my career and that would be like taking a step backwards instead of forwards, no?”

We can't argue with that! [LatinGossip]

Mientras tanto, you can catch PeeWee este lunes in a super-especial capítulo de Quiero Mis Quinces, when el cantante makes una quinceañera's biggest dreams come true!!  No te lo pierdas, this Monday at 9pm EST!

The Black Eyed Peas are no strangers to hit canciones, pero el grupo has now made chart history by becoming the band with the longest stay at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 ever.  After the 12-week run at #1 by "Boom Boom Pow," the Peas replaced themselves at #1 with "I Gotta Feeling" for another 8 weeks and counting.  We gotta feeling it won't be The E.N.D. for the eclectic pop super-grupo any time soon!

We sat down with our favorite Pea, Taboo, to get some impressions about their historical chart feat, as well as catch up on some chisme del fabuloso artista, including who he'd like to collaborate with y cuentos de su nuevo hijo, Jimmy Jalen.  Read the exclusive Q&A below!

What is it like making Billboard history and having these two songs sit at the top of the charts for 20+ weeks?

First of all, I'm so honored and pleased to have such a great album come out in this day and age of the music industry, and have it be the most successful one to date.  As far as the new singles, I am grateful to have such great supporters who have been with us all since 1995, and to all the new Peabodys -- we welcome you to the Black Eyed Peas!

How has the recording experience been different as a solo artist working on T.A.B.O.O. vs. working with the Black Eyed Peas?  Do you prefer one experience over another?

As far as recording with my best friends apl, Fergie and will.i.am, it's the greatest feeling of accomplishment and I love every minute of it... It's not the same working on my solo.  It's not as exciting.

Are there any Latin artists you would like to collaborate with on the new album?

I would love to work with Café Tacuba, Marc Anthony, Juanes, Calle 13, RBD, Pitbull, A. B. Quintanilla, Cruz Martinez and Maná.

Felicitaciones to you and your wife on the recent birth of your baby!  Will you raise him to be bilingual?

YES!  My son Jalen will speak Filipino (Tagalog) and Spanish!

What message do you have for Latinos celebrating su cultura this September for Hispanic Heritage Month? How will you celebrate your Mexican roots?

I will be representing for all Latinos and give a great Spanish speech when we win those Billboard Awards and them Grammys!! As far as advice to all the Latinos coming up, stay true to yourself and don't let anyone say you can't do it!  Dream big and live life to your fullest potential...

Taboo can chant "Si Se Puede!" with the best of them!   Keep it locked for more news on The Black Eyed Peas and Taboo!

The streets of Chi-town are still recovering from our merciless musical invasion for Viva Chicago this past weekend. Couldn't make it? We have got you covered with a V.I.P press pass low-down.

Menudo kicked-off the event by performing for a sea of thirsty fans at Chicago's Grant Park. After rocking out "More Than Words," the masterful M.C. G-Anthony took the stage to show-off his winning skills. The notorious contest winner was spittin' his lyrical game with performances of "The Champ," "Habladora," and "Estrella."

Once the Boricua rapero finished his set, Cruz Martinez y Los Super Reyes were teasing las chicas with their Spanish cover of the classic Jackson 5 track "I Want You Back." Pimped-out fan pleaser Nino B jumped into the crowd and was almost swallowed by all las mujeres!

Be sure to catch all the mayhem during the Sucker Free Latino Viva Chicago episode airing on Sept. 10th @ 4pm and 9pm!
