Wherever Jenni Rivera goes, a juicy story is never far behind:

Yesterday the regional Mexican cantante was arrested in Mexico City's International Airport before boarding un vuelo a los Estados Unidos.  Turns out Jenni was packin' -- dinero, that is.  La reina de la banda stowed away more than 50K in undeclared CASH en su equipaje.  And you thought scissors and more than 3 oz. of liquid was devious!

Rivera told authorities that she was carrying 20K on her trip, but $52,167 was discovered in the singer's carry on luggage during a random search.   Jenni's publicist, Arturo Rivera, had nothing to say about the bust.

"Cupable O Inocente"? Jenni's no stranger to legal trouble; looks like this Premio Lo Nuestro ganadora is gonna be slapped with a guilty charge.

Flex won big at last night's 2009 Latin Billboard Awards at the BankUnited Center in Miami!!!

He did tell us he was going to make history! The Panamanian star is used to spreading his romantic style, but it was time for fans to scream "Te Quiero" in return. Besides throwing down an electrifying performance complete with on-stage fireworks and a unisex dance crew, Flex also snatched the golden premios for categories including, "Hot Latin Song of the Year" and "Latin Album of the Year." Claro, he made his acceptance speeches as entertaining as his dance moves with his random "es que te quiero" bursts of melodies on stage.

Check below the hood for more news and pics on last night's big winners!

Jenni Rivera proves that her powerhouse voz isn't the only "Inolvidable" phenomenon...

The singer's fanáticos also hold unforgettable weight. La Diva de la Banda performed for more than 40,000 admirers at the Rodeo Texcoco in Mexico over the weekend. The soul survivor extended emotional shout-outs to her fans right after singing her heart-pounding hit, "Sobreviví." Without her fans, Jenni exclaimed that she wouldn't have the strength to get over her dramatic separation or that pesky video scandal.

She shouted to the audience:

Les agradezco infinitamente que no me hayan dejado caer, luego de los descalabros que me he dado, sin ustedes no sabría que habría sido de mi carrera, gracias a todos por venir.

You know you have hit las estrellas when you have fans like Los Tigres Del Norte! Felicidades Jenni. [Notimex]

Pop champán! Ivy Queen is still celebrating her 2009 Premio Billboard nominations...

La Caballota has been rolling in feliz spirits since hearing about her triple category noms, including "Hot Latin Song of the Year" for "Dime." Ms. Queen is standing-up against the 'chacalosa' reina, Jenni Rivera and our "MTV Unplugged" super estrella, Julieta Venegas. Regardless of who claims the throne, don't expect a catfight to break out. Ivy Queen and las chicas radiate more girl power than the infamous Spice Girls.

We recently spoke to la Boricua about her award reactions:

Cada vez que nominan a uno a premios tan importantes como éstos, me llena de mucha alegría y satisfacción pues es la muestra de que nuestro trabajo logró su propósito.

Sounds like a winning attitude to us. Do you think Ivy has this one sealed? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

Music fans put your hands up because the list of Los Premios Billboard nominations are in...

Without a doubt, Enrique Iglesias conquered the top of la lista with ten total noms for "Hot Latin Song," "Song of the Year," and "Album of the Year" for "95/08" among others. The "Away" singer wasn't the only one racking-up double digit nominations. Flex conquered the game with thirteen nominations, including "Hot Latin Song" for "Te Quiero" and "Top Latin Album of the Year." Sorry haters, "Romantic Style" is here to stay!

Of course, our favorite talented damas also shined on the Billboard charts. Ivy Queen, Jenni Rivera, and Julieta Venegas all received the high honors of being nominated for the "Hot Latin Song of the Year." Jenni and Julieta earned double props for "Top Latin Album of the Year" for "Julieta Venegas: MTV Unplugged" and "Jenni." Sounds like this is going to be a tough call.

Best of all, RBD won a nomination for "Best Tour of the Year." This only means that the group will rock the red carpet juntos again for one last time! Click here for a complete list of Los Premios Billboard nominees. Who do you think will walk away a winner? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

Jenni Rivera's sex tape scandal makes Belinda's controversy seem PG 13! Besides the context, the biggest difference between las dos chavas is that La Banda Diva isn't keeping shut about the drama.

The "Mi Vida Loca" ranchera has dominated the leading hombres on the pop charts, but Jenni hasn't claimed the same flawless victory in her personal life. Her life reads like a nighttime telenovela script, which includes an ugly divorce from convicted sex offender, José Trinidad Marín, and her brief arrest for allegedly assaulting a fan at the "Disco Rodeo" club. Now adding to her melodramatic chapter is the biggest sex tape scandal since Kim K's number!

She recently spoke about the consequences her unnamed ex-novio and fellow perpetrators face:

A esta persona y a las personas que empezaron con esto son 19 años de prisión, lo que parece un jueguito quizás presumirlo, divertirse, antojárseles como se les ha antojado, es algo serio.

Nineteen years behind bars is no joke! Do you think Jenni will find justice? [La Oreja]
