Rolling Stone magazine threw a party for their latest cover girl Shakira last night at the Bowery Hotel in New York City. La Loba looked lovely in a black sequined jacket, loose white tank, sky high black pumps, and tight jeans. Pero fue su pelo that caught everyone's attention. Looks like Shaki is heading back to that twisted locks look.

What do you think? Love it or Hate it?

Shakira also accepted a plaque commemorating 1 million copies sold of her album's title track.  Su nuevo album, She-Wolf, will be released en los Estados Unidos in two weeks.  Will you pick it up?

Este otoño ABC is introducing fans to its latest extreme makeover and we're not talking about a new season of Home Edition. We're talking about Ugly Betty.

What does ABC have lined up for La Fea?  An oxymoron!  On the October 9th premiere, a new Betty Suarez will tumble onto grace the screen.  Es verdad, Betty's gettin' a makeover that will take her from busted to bella.  Bid adiós to the poncho for good and say hello to sleek Chanel suits as Betty gets promoted to magazine features editor in the show's fourth season.

For a returning series, a plot twist could be a way to wow fans, but changing Betty's signature socially-awkward estilo could be sitcom suicide.  The new Betty is inching her way towards fabulousity; she still rocks ankle socks but will soon have a metal-free sonrisa.

ABC bigwigs got viewers to weigh in on el gran cambio.   One viewer from a network focus group stated "She looks a lot classier...but she’s still far from perfect.” Looks like that viewer has the cutthroat chops to conduct model casting at Mode, no?

We'll confess, we did see this coming.  Being fans of the original show, Colombian telenovela Betty la fea, we know the story sees Betty from ugly duckling to striking swan.  Pero, will U.S. viewers who tune-in for a good laugh and self esteem boost be turned off by Betty Redux?

Ugly Betty shows us the ugliness of beautiful people, right? Whether it's Wilhelmina undermining Daniel Meade, or Amanda making fun of la gente gorda, the true colors of beautiful bullies are always revealed.  Pero, does that make Betty...a mean girl?

As If! We're getting carried away. Que piensas? Are you going to keep watching Ugly Betty gone pretty, or are you flipping the switch?  Dinos! [Entertainment Weekly]

Struggling with how to spice up your wardrobe for back-to-school?  Save the brainstorming for your classes and let us show you el camino...

Karen Crawford, a Los Angeles ad exec raised in NYC's Spanish Harlem, has designed a line of stylish, statement-making and affordable (times are tough, güeys!) tees for Latinas.   With shirts bearing words como "Paz," "Amor," y "Mamacita," KC Los Angeles tiene una camiseta para todos, y una camiseta para cada causa.  Además, Crawford's work is dedicated to her mom; who doesn't love una hija leal?!

KC Los Angeles isn't just stylish, it's giving back to la comunidad.  Ten percent of sales proceeds from KC Los Angeles products are given to la fundación Para Los Niños, a family service organization that aims to better the lives of impoverished families in Los Angeles.

Which tee do we feel like wearing hoy?  Nos parece que esta es bastante adecuada, no? Now KC Los Angeles just needs to make a tee that says "Lo Hicimos! Gracias Sonia!"

"Queen of All Media" Perez Hilton is known for making some very risky fashion choices, so we were not surprised to see him in this month's People en Español "Los Mejor y Peor Vestidos" issue.  Lo que sí nos sorprende is seeing this post on his blog in which he states "Perezito has been chosen for the "Best Dressed" issue of the new People en Español."  Umm... does he need a better translator or does nuestro favorito chismoso cubano really expect us to believe que no entiende español?

Come on Perezito, de verdad crees que uno de estos crazy get-ups deserves the title of "Mejor Vestido"?  In fact, People en Español says el bloguero "tiene probablemente el gusto más cuestionable de la historia."  Not much of a compliment in our book!

So who did make the best-dressed list?  Topping la lista está la muy elegante primera dama, Michelle Obama, followed by Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria Parker y Thalía.  Tu sabes, some ladies with real style!

So, who do you think has el mejor estilo?  [People en Español; Perez Hilton]

Our latest "Fashion Face-Off" edition is all about the bold and the bella...

Red carpet chameleons Christina Milian and Kat DeLuna have shaken the dye bottles and ditched their laid-back wardrobes for nuevo much-talked-about looks. Thanks to the 80s and 90s estilo comeback, the latest trends are all about looking as loca as possible while keeping it chic (a.k.a. 'The Crazier You Look, The Better.')

Ms. Milian caught-on to the belleza tip from hell by stripping her pelo to a wannabe Lady Gaga platinum blond, while the pint-sized 'Definition of a Rebel" was recently modeling the peacock-do paired with a superhero vest straight out of the "Watchmen." We know beauty is skin deep, but wild looks can't go unnoticed. "In The End" do these ladies get to sing "Us Against The World?" YOU DECIDE.

Oh snap! This is going to be a difficult one ladies and gents...

Disney beauties Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens are reinas of sophisticated style without looking like a pair of viejitas! The "Another Cinderella Story" cenicienta was rocking a classic black get-up at the H&M Collection Preview event in New York City last night, while our favorite "High School Musical 3" actress looked fit for the after prom fiesta in a neutral retro mini-dress and platform sandals.

We know it is a tough decision...

But you have to decide...

Which estrella deserves to win today's estilo throwdown?

Jennifer Lopez was definitely turning heads with her First Lady inspired hair-do and bright red get-up, but la diva's estilo was not as intriguing as the speech she delivered at the DNC last week.

The "I'm Real" singer talked about the importance of our Latino vote and Barack Obama's ability to inflict positive social change. We already heard what Daddy Yankee has to say on the opposite side of the fence, but be sure to listen in on J.Lo's pro-Obama thoughts right below the hood. What are your thoughts on Election '08?
