The Sunset Strip was blazing with extra fuego after veteran alt-rockers Café Tacuba topped the Latin Grammy list with six nominations including, "Album of the Year" and "Best Alternative Song" for "Volver A Comenzar."

Please say it ain't so...

Rumors hit the barrio harder than hurricane Ike about the possibility of Aventura splitting up. We immediately had our spies out on a mission to find out the truth behind all the talk. Besides bachatero Lenny Santos officially denying the rumors, ex-band member Toby Love also spoke the real deal by stating:

Para mi no, ellos no se van a romper porque, tú sabes, ellos tienen demasiado éxito. Eso son gente hablando y para mi no, ¿tú me entiendes? Yo hubiese sabido desde hace tiempo, me habrían dicho que se iban a romper. No eso no, no puede pasar ellos tienen demasiados fanáticos, ellos son fiel con sus fanáticos.

In other words, all the hype must have been sparked by haters! You heard it from us...these heartthrobs aren't going anywhere. [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

We all know there is some truth behind chismes, but Maite Perroni and William Levy are keeping hush about a possible off-screen telenovela romance.

The "Cuidado con el ángel" co-stars have been heating-up las noches while allegedly keeping their real life amor on the down-low.

The RBD singer attempted to set the record straight by declaring:

I'm very conscious of the fact that my personal life is under a microscope right now, and anybody can make comments and statements as if they were true when they're not. I'm very clear where I am now, and I'm focusing on my career, and I have not reason to divulge any more details.

La chica left us with no confirmation or denial. She better claim that fine Cubano before someone else does! [People en Español]

Dominican underground rapper Vaquero is stirring up chisme by suggesting that Daddy Yankee's "Somos de Calle," the main cinematic title for "Talento de Barrio" is a negative shot at Dominicans. The Big Boss quickly denied these rumors by firmly clarifying:

No never. Hip-hop is unity and Dominican Republic is my second country. You understand that I am the type of man that makes moves based on intelligence and that is all based on ignorance. The title refers to the science of the streets in Puerto Rico. So let's set this straight, we support Dominican hip-hop and we know it's a genre that will reach success in the industry.

Dicho y claro! Now this cowboy can step down and find a new way to get some shine. [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

Speaking of peace and unity, check out Taboo, Sofia Vergara and Daddy Yankee at the ALMA Awards last week...

Now that is urban elegance at its finest!
