Sorry RBD fans, it looks like former members Dulce Maria and Christopher Von Uckermann are still "just friends." The pop stars recently created a firestorm of chisme after posting love notes on Facebook. But reps for both parties have officially denied any romance between the two.

"No hay ningún tipo de romance," Dulce’s publicist, Karina Leija, told People en Español.

Chris may have actually been the one sparking the rumors after he threw some loving words to Maria on his social network. But apparently his posts about "loving Dulce" were nothing more than friendly banter.

Maria already had a publicized affair with one of her RBD bandmates back in the mid-2000’s. Alfonso Herrera was her on-again/off-again steady for three years and, for now at least, she's declared herself to be a swinging single.

It looks like former RBD-er Dulce Maria is holding on to her innocent image for a tad longer. The Mexican pop star recently admitted that she was approached to pose nude for a men's magazine, but flatly turned it down.

As of right now, Dulce is keeping hush about exactly which mag made the offer. Though we get the feeling it came in a bunny stamped envelope. Regardless, she said that posing naked just wouldn't sit well with her young female fans.

Currently in the midst of a very successful acting and music career, Dulce Maria clearly doesn't need the money either. But interestingly, she did admit that it's not the actual pictures that she's against, it's the association with a scandalous magazine.

"No es por las fotos," she recently explained. "Porque las fotos me parece que son muy bonitas, se ven muy guapas todas las chicas pero por el contenido es por lo que me da miedo hacer una revista así."

So perhaps if People en Español hit her up about a sexy spread for their next "50 Mas Bellos" issue, she'll be more open minded. Maybe the R-Rated mags can try their luck with another of Dulce's famous bandmates instead.

Is it surprising that the Latin American teen show Grachi dominated Mexico's Kid's Choice Awards last weekend? It's got hot stars, fun fantasy elements, and it happens to be produced by KCA's parent company, Nickelodeon.

Regardless, Grachi’s win for Favorite Show seems well deserved. Screaming fans at Mexico's Six Flags theme park couldn't get enough of stars Isabella Castillo and Andres Mercado.

Both Isabella and Andres took home orange blimps for their roles, giving the series a grand total of three wins. Executive producer, Solange Rivero seemed rather humbled by the outpouring of Grachi love when she took the stage.

"Me siento muy feliz por estos premios, es un gran logro y que no es más que el resultado del excelente trabajo de un gran equipo de actores, equipo técnico, productores, maquillistas, equipo de Nickelodeon, asistentes, fotógrafos, directores de arte y, por supuesto, de nuestra querida escritora Mariela Romero," she said.

Always a fun event, Mexico's KCAs let fans mingle with the stars, ride rollercoasters, and holler and hoot from a replica of the Chinese Theater. In addition to the Grachi crew, Dulce Maria also dropped by to pick up to a blimp for Best Female Solo Artist.

It's not often you'd associate a Mexican pop star with the guys from Jackass, but former RBD'er Dulce Maria recently chimed in about the death of Ryan Dunn. Using Twitter, the singer sent out a message about the dangers of drinking and driving.

"El actor de Jackass, Ryan Dunn murió por conducir ebrio y a exceso de velocidad. Por favor si toman no manejen!! " she posted

Having waited a few days since the incident took place, Dulce saved herself from a lot of the hate that followed Roger Ebert's notorious tweet. Interestingly, Ebert was slightly vindicated after it was discovered that Dunn was under the influence when he fatally crashed his car.

But at the time of Roger's tweet, many were unsure if alcohol played a role and felt it was "too soon" to comment on the tragedy. Dulce, on the other hand, spoke up after Dunn's toxicology report was released (she even added a link to it) and went on to emphasize her point with an additional post.

"Cuidense...cada dia me entero de mas accidentes y da coraje q se te vaya la vida por una borrachera diviertanse pero sean concientes!! Besos"

Dulce Maria launches her first full-length album tomorrow after releasing Extranjera [Part I], an EP of 7 tracks that marked her solo debut.

Extranjera [Part II] (Universal, 2011) includes a total of 14 tracks, including her international mega-hits "Inevitable" and "Ya No,” plus a live track from the Auditorio Nacional, which was part of the concert she gave in Mexico City late last year where she officially launched her debut EP.

Dulce Maria, the read headed beauty and ex RBD has kept herself very busy lately. She embarked on an extensive tour that included her participation in a massive event in Colombia where more than 40,000 people sang along to every one of her songs.

Next up were 5 sold out shows in Brazil, and a heavy promotional schedule in which she gave equal time to local media and fans who eagerly waited outside each place she visited. Uruguay was next on the itinerary, where she offered a spectacular concert in Montevideo and then traveled to Argentina to the famed Teatro Coliseo in Buenos Aires. Once there, she took on the shoot  of her upcoming music video  for her latest single titled "Ingenua," with the same team who shot the video for "Inevitable" last year. The video will be ready for release in early July.

In December, we predicted that Mexican pop star Dulce Maria and Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho would continue to make great music together after the success of their "Navidad Navidad" single. Now, all three artists, along with Jenni Rivera, are set to perform at the Pepsi Musica Super Bowl Fan Jam on Friday, Feb. 4.

We know what you’re thinking: This year’s Super Bowl is on Sunday, Feb. 6. Well, this won’t be happening in tandem with the Black Eyed Peas halftime show (or Christina's national anthem for that matter), but it will be a great way to kick off football's biggest weekend.

Organized by soft drink powerhouse Pepsi, the Super Bowl Fan Jam will be no small affair. The concert —the second in the NFL Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam concert series — follows opening night performances by Kid Rock, Duran Duran and Jason Derulo on Thursday, Feb. 3, at Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. The two-and-a-half hour Friday night show will be televised on Univision the following day.

So can we expect some “Navidad Navidad” in the set list? Probably not. But with Dulce and the guys' success with holiday jingles, why not debut an original Valentine’s song for all those NFL wives looking to get romantic on Feb. 14?

Tickets for the NFL Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam concert series are on sale at Ticketmaster. Individual concert tickets are available for $45 and $60 for the Thursday night concert and $45 for the Friday night event.

It’s that time of the year again. The time when radio stations start rotating in holiday tracks and Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad” becomes an inescapable part of every Latino Christmas party. Now you can add one more Spanish jingle to the mix, the new “Navidad, Navidad” single from Chino y Nacho and Dulce Maria.

Arranged by famed producer Arthur Hanlon (who wrote the star-studded “La Gota de la Vida” charity song), “Navidad Navidad” has been described as an updated Spanish version of “Jingle Bells.” Featuring heavy pianos and great harmonies between the three singers, it’s actually a pretty catchy holiday song.

Having just picked up a Latin Grammy for their Mi Niña Bonita album, Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho are riding pretty high right now. Their music has attracted an entire continent of fans, with styles ranging from thumping reggaeton, to tropical steel drums, to pure pop harmonies. Add them together with RBD darling Dulce Maria and you’ve got some pretty exciting music on your hands. Her vocal range and proven pop prowess can easily connect the duo to an entirely new audience.

But our question is, if you’ve got three of Latin music’s hottest up-and-comers in the studio, why only have them record a holiday track? The way they sound, this trio could have easily pieced together a No. 1 pop ballad or even an entire album (kind of like Alex, Jorge y Lena).

Here’s the answer. Think back to Jose Feliciano’s song. Believe it or not, he first released it back in 1970 and 40 years later it’s still getting played. Not too shabby and a shrewd mood for music artists looking to collect royalty checks every December. So even though “Navidad Navidad” might not be a No. 1 Billboard single, we imagine you’ll be hearing it for plenty more Christmases to come.

"Navidad Navidad" is now available on iTunes.

We previously reported that Thalía will appear as a leading lady in the upcoming season of "Mujeres Asesinas", and now producer Pedro Torres has confirmed that Dulce María is joining the sinister series.

In case you didn't know it, the show is a Spanish-speaking version of the television series "Snapped." We think it's even better, since the reenactments based on true (super crazy) stories are made by some of the biggest names in Latin Hollywood.

The redheaded bombshell has been doing pretty well since those memorable RBD days. She may have teamed up with Akon for last summer's hit "Beautiful," but she is working on making her own chart-topping success with her new solo single, "Inevitable."

The video released in late May features Maria taping her love interest to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. Looks like a mujer asesina gone wild!

People en Español has revealed their 2010 list of Los 50 Mas Bellos. Among the actors, models, musicians, and TV personalities were Sofia Vergara of ABC's Modern Family, former RBD beauties Maite Perroni and Dulce María, Cuban Actor William Levy, bella cantactriz Mexicana Thalía, and newly outed Puertorriqueño Ricky Martin.

Noticeably missing from this years list was 2009's cover girl Eva Longoria Parker - ouch!  Newcomers to la lista include celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, and current Miss Universe, Stefania Fernandez, among others.

This year's special issue was released with four variant covers featuring seven of today's most popular Hispanic women -- and one very lucky guy.  In one version, Sofia Vergara and Belinda are joined by TV personality Daisy Fuentes, and telenovela actor Fernando Colunga. Las mujeres "Mas Bellas" appear in dresses by Marchesa, Prada, Herve Leger, and Jay Mendel, with jewelry by Loren Ridinger.

Vergara posed as one of Mexico's most memorable stars, the late Maria Felix, and had this to say about her solo shoot:

"It was fun styling my hair and makeup to look like her, and mimicking her facial expressions. I was captivated by the character."

For the third consecutive year, PeopleEnEspanol.com invited users to choose their favorite celebrity to be named in the magazine's "50 Most Beautiful" issue. With 10 celebrity nominations, and after a near tie with Mexican singer and actress Eiza Gonzalez, Telefutura's La Tijera presentador Rodolfo Jimenez won with 67% of the votes.

Check out the full list of los 50 Mas Bellos after the jump, and peep the sneak peek slideshow on People En Español for more photos.

Cuéntanos, what do you think of this year's list? Do you think Longoria Parker get snubbed? Weigh in below or @MTV3!
