Enrique Iglesias didn't walk away with a Latin Grammy nomination, but the "Greatest Hits" estrella was able to snag a nomination at the American Music Awards on November 23rd.

The 33-year-old will have to battle it out with Wisin y Yandel and Juanes for the "Favorite Artist - Latin Music" category. The humble star may own the most #1 hits of our time and make the ladies drool faster than un bonbon de almendras, but Enrique keeps all of the hype to a minimum.

He states:

Como artista estoy muy contento, no me lo puedo creer que ya he tenido tantos sencillos que han llegado al puesto número uno. Es que parece que fue ayer que empecé mi carrera, sigo pensado que mi carrera por ahora es una corta carrera.

Enrique Iglesias may be tall enough to intimidate most enemies that cross his path, but the "Away" singer reveals that there is one action that makes him tremble with fear.

Since experiencing an emergency landing a couple of months ago, the Spanish fly boy admits that he is deathly afraid of flying. Enrique has faced his miedo head-on by continuing his sold out U.S. tour with Aventura and promoting his latest "Greatest Hits" album. We recently caught-up with the "Lloro Por Ti" chico to find out about the shocking airplane scare.

Enrique revealed:

Lo primero que hice fui por la botella de vodka and I took a few shots, calming down a little bit and I’m afraid flyer so first of all estás volando por encima del Atlántico y el piloto te dice que tenemos un problema con uno de los motores, los tiene que apagar y más que nada el ruido del motor apagándose, it’s a scary sound cause the engine at the time has at 80 percent power so you notice that the plane kind of pulled back a bit and yeah it definitely was scary.

Pobrecito. Those private jets sound scarier than coach! Don't worry Enrique...there are plenty of fans ready to melt your worries away. Si o no? [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

Enrique Iglesias was recently crowned the pop music rey by earning the most #1 radio hits EVER, but is the "Lloro Por Ti" singer tearing over his nonexistent 2008 Latin Grammy nomination?

The Spanish pop star admits to having one mission in mind: to satisfy his fans. Conquering twenty one hits on the Billboard charts reflects the mutual relationship Enrique has with his público. Simply check out his very intimate performance at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City last week.

You better believe this fan was blown "Away" by his beso! Enrique reveals that his musical career is all about entertaining and not just racking-up awards:

¿Que no estoy nominado? Yo creo que tienen muy mal gusto, no (risas) Entiendo, hay años que te nominan, hay otros que no. Mira, en gran parte lo que he sacado este año ha sido discos de éxitos, aunque tiene canciones nuevas también, canciones inéditas. Pero yo enfoco lo mió en el éxito que ha tenido y mis fans. Al final no me puedo quejar, he tenido un buen año.

Honestly, what does this fly boy have to be bitter about? Absolutamente nada! [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

ADVISORY: Don't start crying yet "Lloro Por Ti" fans!

Enrique Iglesias suffered an airplane scare on Sunday morning after one of the motors on his private jet died. The pilot ended-up securing an emergency landing at Luton Airport in London. Our fly boy was able to walk away without any injuries and will continue his promotional tour in Germany.

Phew...we almost thought we lost him there! Luckily he is back on his two feet and working on his upcoming album:

Yeah I am working on new songs, spanish and english, both and I don’t know which I am going to come up with first, it all depends on how I feel and which song I feel is better. But, I actually, for the first time in my career I am doing both at the same time, which before I used to concentrate in spanish and just do spanish and then do english, but now I am combining both of them.

We are sure he has plenty of inspiration after this experience. Let's hope he gets his motor fixed (no pun intended). Salud Enrique! [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]
