We know the life of a VJ seems like all fun and games...

But when the cameras stop rolling our peeps spend their free time looking out for the community. L. Boogs and Carlos Santos represented for the Empower Arts Education Benefit supporting W.H.C.A.P (Washington Heights Community Arts Project) at pier 66 in New York City last night.

The gala was hosted by none other than L. Boogs (shout out to Sucker Free Latino!). He kept the crowd in order by shhing (is that a word?) the rowdy chicos in the back and even pretended to be Vanna White by showcasing raffled items.

The evening showcased the talents of MTV Tr3s Top 20/ Mi TRL host Carlos Santos también. He performed a stand-up comedy act discussing parranda etiquette and road rules in Puerto Rico. After Carlos was done warming-up the crowd, rapper Malverde came on-stage to represent the west coast. The always political rapper had no problem voicing his pro-Obama agenda in a remix he did over the Lil Wayne "A Milli" beat.

He also expressed why this event was important to him:

Art defines culture. I am a product of the influence art has on the life of a youth.

You can't beat partying for a good cause. For more info on empowering the youth of Washington Heights check out the WHCAP website. Make a difference ahora!

A proactive message can be as shocking as Jessica Alba's "Declare Yourself" ads, but we are leaving the black tape and torture methods to the pros.

Peaceful tactics are just as affective, and the truth is, our real life experiences should be inspiration enough to get up and vote during the 2008 Presidential election in November. Fat Joe and Rosario Dawson recently represented for the American bandera by urging our youth to make a difference in the polls this year. How important is our vote? Find out all the stats at Voto Latino and be sure to check out Rosario and Fat Joe on Mi TRL this Thursday at 4pm and 9pm.

Haters, don't get it twisted...

Ivy Queen's bass-busting vocals have been cutting tracks with powerful anthems for las mujeres for over ten years now. In a genre where testosterone runs the game, the Latin Grammy-nominated Boricua has managed to sustain a powerful presence from el barrio to the Billboard charts. Her last album "Sentimiento" represents her highest debut ever, and showcases her versatile style while staying true to her painful "corta venas" experiences. Her wounds may have healed, but La Caballota is back in the studio working on her upcoming album "Drama Queen." Get all of the details from the diva herself in our exclusive interview right below the hood!

Rakim & Ken-Y has been known for producing intoxicating duets with artists like Don Omar, David Bisbal, and Tony Dize, but only one reina has managed to set these puertoriqueños on fire...

The “Te Regalo Amores” duo are representing for Ivy Queen and are peacefully declaring their own take on La Caballota's feud with Calle 13. El Visitante was inspired to address his beef in the group’s new track “Q lloren,” and Ivy responded with a few fighting words in return.

While hitting-up Mi TRL, the reggaetoneros declared why they side with Ivy on this one:

“En realidad uno nunca puede decir que no, pues, uno puede tener sus diferencias y su pensamiento propio y la gente muchas veces a veces no comparte el mismo punto de vista, por decirlo así. Cuando vemos situaciones como esta que se trata de una mujer que es Ivy Queen que ha representado a nuestra isla en muchos países, que es una artista fuerte e importante, pues, no estamos muy de acuerdo en cuanto a las expresiones de Calle 13…En cuanto a una mujer, nadie debería expresarse de una forma despectiva no solamente Ivy Queen, sino de ninguna.”

That was very gallant of them! Let's hope they don't get caught in the crossfire. Be sure to check out exclusive Rakim & Ken-Y pics and catch the duo tomorrow on Mi TRL at 4pm and 9pm. [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]
