Después de pasar una noche especial en la boda de Cristobal y Marina, Isa and Alex form a special bond.  Y finalmente, Alex beings to see la luz!  He realizes that Isa's charms (a pesar de sus mentiritas), would make her "la novia perfecta," the antithesis of the conniving Cristina.

Esta nueva realización brings out a dark side in Cristina, who won't believe that Isa could be cause for concern en su relación con Alejandro.

Los recién casados Marina y Cristobal, after fighting for their relationship all season, are finally free!  The two head off to Europe, where Cristobal has earned una beca para estudiar música.  His success is shared by Marina, who secures una beca para estudiar biología en la misma ciudad, con la ayuda de Julio!

Last but not least, Rey catches Linda singing to herself at school.  He and his band mates are wowed by her pipes and extend an invite to the sassy soprano to practice with them.  Looks like Gordilinda is getting la atención que merece!

Stay plugged into Blogamole cada viernes for more Isa TKM Sneak Peeks.  Y no te pierdas los nuevos episodios de Isa TKM de lunes a viernes a las 5PM!

Nelly Furtado is waving a white flag of surrender en su nuevo video en español, "Manos Al Aire."

El nuevo video, which was filmed in Toronto, Canada, last month, features a militaristic Nelly who starts out in a packed army jeep, but gradually lets down her guard and defenses (losing articles of clothing as she goes) and ultimately surrenders to el amor verdadero.   La bella cantante se quita casi toda la ropa, throws her arms up in peace, and ends up entirely vulnerable en los brasos de su enamorado.

"Manos Al Aire" es el primer video from Nelly's upcoming all-spanish album, Mi Plan, but it does features English subtitles to keep her anglo fanbase contentos.  Smart move, Nelly! And how will Nelly try to reach a wider Latin audience?  How about by releasing a reggaeton remix featuring Wisin y Yandel protege, Franco El Gorila!  Escucha el remix aquí! [Real Talk Reggaeton]

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?

Don Omar is no stranger to drama (as his marriage to Jackie Guerrido will attest), pero su más reciente canción, "Sexy Robotica," is stirring up international controversy thanks to some questionable lyrics.

Colombian artistas como Fonseca, as well as political leaders and fans, aren't thrilled about the reference to Latino drug use found on "Sexy Robotica," in which he alludes to cocaine en conexión con el país, considering the stigma los colombianos have had to struggle with for decades.

El Don responded to la controversia with a press release stating:

Nunca le he faltado el respeto a ningún colombiano. Faltarle el respeto a los sucesos que ha vivido un pueblo y querer callarlos no se llama progreso, se llama ‘Vergüenza’ de los mismos. Mis respetos a todos los colombianos en el mundo que disfrutan de mi música, de su país, que vivieron su pasado y que trabajan duro para que el futuro sea distinto….pero en libertad, no en hipocresía.

Do you think the lyrics to "Sexy Robotica" are offensive? [Latin Gossip]
