"Manos Al Aire" cantante Nelly Furtado gets personal with host Carlos Santos esta noche on Entertainment As A Second Language, spilling on una cantidad de cosas, from her upcoming Spanish album, Mi Plan, to una conversación interesante about her biggest fear.  Take a bite out of the clip below for a taste of la entrevista!

We guess la cantante trilingüe is safer and more at ease performing in front of a ton of screaming music fans than spending una tarde en la playa. Bueno, mejor para nosotros!

Don't miss el resto de la entrevista en Entertainment As A Second Language, esta noche at 9pm EST solo por MTV Tr3s!

Wondering where Calle 13's creativity comes from?  Looks like it was there from the very beginning along with una tremenda travesura!

Los hermanos will be spilling their guts on a variety of topics, including their new film Sin Mapa, on Entertainment As A Second Language tonight, but we thought we'd share this exclusive clip that we found particularly entertaining.  Looks like Residente's travesuras started early, as he shares with us un cuento from his childhood en la escuela in which he (literally) copied la tarea de su hermano, el Visitante, cut and paste his name on it, and handed it in as his own.  We're not entirely sure that this shows his "creative" side, pero por lo menos los hermanos have been working together desde el principio.  Go teamwork!

Make sure to catch el resto de la entrevista con música urbana superstars Calle 13, esta noche on Entertainment As A Second Language at 9pm EST, solo por MTV Tr3s!

Missed the spook-tacular premiere of Toby Love's nuevo video de "Tu y Yo" on Entertainment As A Second Language last night?

No te preocupes, we've got the bone-chillingly sexy video right here for your viewing pleasure! The video, which was directed by Edgar Marrera, features an A-list roster of haunting cameos by Aventura's Lenny, Henry y Max (aka Max Agenda), as well as Alexis y Fido, Magic Juan, and our very own E.S.L. host, Carlos Santos!  Sharing vocal duties with el Bronx-born bachatero are brand-new bachata girl group (believe it!), Girlz Talk and fellow newcomers, Del Blocke.  The video takes place in a seedy nightclub straight out of True Blood, complete with blood-sucking, scantily-clad dancers and lots of leather, spikes and sunglasses at night.  También hay un baile en la mitad del video that reminds us of a sexed-up vampire bachata version of Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Cuéntanos, what do you think of Toby Love's walk on the dark side?  Is it una fantasía provocativa o una verdadera pesadilla?
