VMA 2009 Wrap Up: Show-Stealing Momentos
Posted 9/14/09 4:23 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, Hot Stuff, MTV Video Music Awards
The 2009 VMAs was chock full of good music, juicy drama and out-of-this-world fashion.
Janet Jackson's tributo a su hermano, Michael, was not only a really heartfelt memorial, but also featured some of the most renowned choreography in the history of MJ's illustrious career, with recreations of "Thriller," "Bad," "Smooth Criminal," and "Scream." Lady Gaga’s performance was aún más loca de lo que esperábamos with its bloody grand finale, and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys closed the show with a hoppin' rendition of "Empire State of Mind." In between there were performances by Beyoncé, Green Day, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry -- as well as Wale and the numerous artists (como Pitbull! Latinos represent!) that joined him as the VMA house band. Pink had arguably one of the best shows of the night when she performed from a flying trapeze!
Host Russell Brand kept the dirty jokes flying, Pop Queen Madonna paid tribute to the late King of Pop, and Kanye West did his best to steal the show but was promptly escorted out of the venue for another awards show outburst. No nos sorprendió mucho! Lady Gaga wowed with her ever-inventive vestuario, and even the Twilight cast showed up to show off the drama-filled trailer for 'New Moon.'
While Wisin y Yandel didn’t win for "Best Pop Video," Latin artists were definitely in the house! Pitbull and Wale performed a hip-hop go-go version of "I Know You Want Me," and Mr. 305 made sure to give a big shout-out to all the Latinos! Also representing at the show were Shakira, JLo and hubby Marc Anthony, "Blaxican" Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton, and honorary Latina Nelly Furtado who gave el Dúo Dinámico a nod during her presenter's speech.
So what did you guys think about this year's VMAs? Did it meet or exceed your expectations?

Justin Timberlake And T.I. Add Swagger To Grammy Stage!
Posted 1/26/09 5:15 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, Chisme, MTV News, Música
The Grammy Awards used to offer a dry lineup of performers, but not this year...
New performances were announced today, including T.I. and Justin Timberlake. The hip-hop palette is also going to be mixed with a watch-worthy trio performance of "Swagga Like Us" featuring, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West (a.k.a. Martin Louis the King Jr.). Los roqueros are also dominating the mic with modern power players like Radiohead (who are up for five Grammy's) rocking the stage on February 8th.
La loca Katy Perry, 'Viva la Vida' Coldplay, country songstress Carrie Underwood, and Los Jonas Brothers are only a few of the other pop stars hitting the stage. Now we are just wondering dónde están los Latinos????? Hopefully, Wisin y Yandel get added in the upcoming announcements. What other Latino artists do you think should hit the stage? [MTV News]

Exclusive Entrevista: Russell Simmons Helps Latinos 'Get Their House Right'
Posted 9/11/08 3:31 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Exclusive Entrevistas, Hispanic Heritage Month
Despite the bad rap (no pun intended) hip hop gets; you can always count on Russell Simmons to use it as a force for positive social change. The entrepreneur, who is very politically active in this election season (he made it abundantly clear at the VMAs with his pro-Obama statements), never shies away from speaking on the issues.
In between his VMA cameo, and a recent showing at NYC Fashion Week for his collection Argyleculture, the multitasking mogul held a press conference to introduce "Get Your House Right," a program intended to alleviate the mortgage crisis, in particular for minorities. The movement stems from Russell's pro-social Hip-Hop Summit Action Network and relates to his “Get Your Money Right” initiative, where artists and experts unite to educate youth on financial literacy.
The Center for Responsible Lending reports that home foreclosures soared nationally by 75 percent in 2007 and the trend is continuing today. If this keeps up it is projected that Latinos alone will stand to lose $98 billion. With some help from hip hop, mortgage experts and lenders, Russell hopes to help the cause. Here's what he and the authorities behind "Get Your House Right" had to say:
We reported to you yesterday that Shakira was in talks to sign a big bucks deal with concert promoter Live Nation. Today the chisme was confirmed!! After being part of the Sony familia since she was thirteen, Shakira is ending her contract and picking up a new one with Live Nation.
No hay duda que Shakira's got game. She signed a deal that's reminiscent of the ones signed by U2, Jay-Z and Madonna (no wonder Hard Candy got about 4 minutes of fame -- Madge was hot to drop that album as her last commitment to Warner Bros. so she could move on to her Live Nation gig). As part of the new deal, Live Nation will own the rights to Shakira's future recordings, concert tours, merchandise, sponsorship and digital promotion.
Espérate, not so fast Shaki! Word is the caderas queen has two more albums left to deliver on her Sony BMG contract -- one in English and one in Spanish as well as a greatest hits compilation. [d.baron media relations inc and Yahoo! News]
Shakira is proving that her industry hustle is just as tight as her supernatural caderas. Word on la calle is that la bella Colombiana has just signed a $70 million partnership with concert promoter Live Nation which is known for representing high-end clients like Madonna and Jay-Z.
