Christina Aguilera sure knows how to add to her list of haters! The Bionic diva has racked up a few famous feuds with celebrities like Pink, Mariah Carey, and most recently Lady Gaga, but what we didn't know is that Valerie Bertinelli has been boycotting the pop diva since 2004.

During a recent interview on the The Jonjay and Rich Show, the Jenny Craig spokesperson sounded off about how mean Christina was the first time she met her during a Van Halen concert six years ago. According to Valerie, she approached the "Not Myself Tonight" singer nicely and received a "Yeah, okay, bye" in return. OUCH!

And we thought Christina only managed to piss pop singers off! Well, at least she has Kim Kardashian on her side right?

"Celebrating History, Heritage and the American Dream" is the festive theme of this year's Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's (CHCI) Awards, which recently announced Eva Longoria, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and jazz legend Arturo Sandoval as their 2010 highest honored recipients.

The celebrity philanthropists are set to receive the 2010 Medallion of Excellence for Leadership and Community Service during the 33rd Annual Awards Gala being held on September 15 in Washington, D.C.

The actress who plays Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC series "Desperate Housewives" may be known for her greedy and egotistical ways on-screen, but en la vida real Longoria is a highly respected activist. In 2006, Eva founded Eva's Heroes, an organization committed to helping disabled children find the support they need to live a quality-driven life. As the national spokesperson for Padres Contra el Cancer, Eva also promotes the nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding Latino children and families affected by cancer.

The Chicana isn't just keeping her passion for change behind-the-scenes. She is currently producing her first documentary film titled "Harvest," which reveals the truth behind child farm workers in the U.S.

They say don't judge a book by it's cover, but can you judge a man by his Twitter? In our latest installment of Twitt3r Analyz3r, fans & Blogamole attempt to dissect what their favorite celebrity tweets reveal...

Long before Ricky Martin made it cool to come out of the closet, Christian Chávez was standing up for gay rights and causing headlines with now ex-husband BJ Murphy. Christian has turned his romantic troubles into inspiration for his new album, "Almas Trasparentes," which dropped back in March. He has stated in a past interview:

"This album is dedicated to the relationship that had, at the end of RBD, and this decade, it was very difficult. It's been 10 years flying."

The Mexican pop singer, who is currently promoting his album in Colombia, definitely hopes to channel the popularity that RBD had, especially in it's final months. He shares via his Twitter page:

"La fuerza de rbd esta en sus fans y lo que nos mantendra sera la misma union de los club de fans sin odios, sin comparar unidos venceremos."

United fans will win! Christian fanáticos aren't shy about showing the amor right back:

brunachavez @christiancha Buena tarde mi amor, buenos días ahí jajaja Que hoy sea un gran día y que lo disfruste bastante!! Te quiero mi vida.

chrischavezfans @christiancha mismo que yo no esté ahi junto a ti me siento cerca tuya. Gracias, muchas gracias por tantos momentos de felicidad. MI ORGULLO

Fans have even more to love after showing his soccer skills during yesterday's "Rock N' Go." Christian Chávez joined forces with former RBD pal Poncho Herrera and artists including Pitbull, Akon, Michelle Rodriguez, Carlos Mencia, and David Bisbal.

We previously reported that Thalía will appear as a leading lady in the upcoming season of "Mujeres Asesinas", and now producer Pedro Torres has confirmed that Dulce María is joining the sinister series.

In case you didn't know it, the show is a Spanish-speaking version of the television series "Snapped." We think it's even better, since the reenactments based on true (super crazy) stories are made by some of the biggest names in Latin Hollywood.

The redheaded bombshell has been doing pretty well since those memorable RBD days. She may have teamed up with Akon for last summer's hit "Beautiful," but she is working on making her own chart-topping success with her new solo single, "Inevitable."

The video released in late May features Maria taping her love interest to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. Looks like a mujer asesina gone wild!

Watch the video below and judge for yourself!

We have a situation here! Enrique Iglesias invited the fist pumpin' crew to join him on the set of his new video "I Like It" this past Friday (May 28). We can just imagine the pop singer comparing his six pack with the fellas while the ladies swoon in the background — especially Snookie!

"I Like It" will be on The Jersey Shore soundtrack, due out on July 20th. The song features Pitbull and is laced with samples of Lionel Richie’s classic jam,“All Night Long.”

After filming the sultry new video, Snookie mentioned that Enrique is the "most gorgeous man I have ever seen." Be careful, Anna Kournikova will come after you faster than a drunk man at a bar!

The "Cuando Me Enamoro" hottie is set to perform at the "Today Show" in NYC on July 16th and will hit up the Morongo Casino in California on July 23rd.

Iglesias’ new album, Euphoria, drops on July 6th. Can we get another fist pump for that?

Marc Anthony first captivated audiences with his high-powered vocals after opening for the legendary Tito Puente back in 1992. Since then the Boricua renegade has earned five Grammys and sold over 10 million albums worldwide.

MTV Tr3s recently spoke to Marc Anthony about his inspiration for Iconos, where he will be touring next, and more!

Although many would consider Marc Anthony an icon and ambassador of Latin music in his own right, the "I Need To Know" singer is honoring classic iconic voices from his past with his new album. Salsa fans will experience Marc's vocal range in a new light.

Iconos includes eight Spanish tracks featuring classic ballads by the greats, including Juan Gabriel, José Luis Perales, José José, and other musical legends.

Tr3s: ¿Cómo nace la idea de “ICONOS”? How did the idea for Iconos come about?

MA: Bueno en realidad llevaba mucho tiempo con esta idea, pero yo siempre digo que los proyectos se culminan en el momento que de verdad les pertenece en la historia. Yo crecí escuchando muchos de estos temas en mi casa y otros durante mi trayectoria ya en esta industria y tienen un significado muy especial para mi. Son algo nostálgicos porque me recuerdan momentos muy especiales en mi vida.

Well, in reality I had the concept in mind for quite a while, but I always say that projects are culminated in the right moment in time. I grew up listening to a lot of these songs at home [as a kid] and discovered many more as an artist so these songs hold a very important significance for me. They are a bit nostalgic as well because they remind me of very special moments in my life.

Aventura may not perform traditional rock and rock tracks, but they certainly live the lifestyle of true roqueros. Mark your calendars, crazed fans! The "Dile Al Amor" bachateros are set to serenade audiences on July 6th and 7th at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida.

We were all saddened once singer Luis Fonsi and telenovela star Adamari Lopez announced their separation last November. The biggest shock was that the break-up was allegedly caused by Fonsi's cheating ways, but does a recent sighting of the couple together mean they will rekindle their relationship?

According to Latin Gossip, the ex-couple were spotted celebrating a mutual friend's birthday at Mercadito Midtown in Miami. They had dinner with a large group of friends and socialized together throughout the evening.

Although there are rumors romantically linking Adamari to an ex-Colombian drug trafficker (OMG!), she has firmly denied the chismes and claimed they are "totally false."

Even if she is single, we doubt the Puerto Rican beauty would take her ex-husband back. Once a cheater always a cheater right?

Could it be that perhaps Justin Bieber isn't so innocent after all? Rumor has it that the "Love Me" singer dropped the stinky f-bomb on a daytime show manager in Australia. Time out for you, Justin!

According to the show's co-host, David Koch, the floor manager was directing Bieber to where he would stand during the performance. All of a sudden the pop star turned to the floor manager and mentioned "don't ever f---king touch me again."

Really?! Just when we felt bad about Justin Bieber walking into a glass door! Just kidding, JB lovers. We've still got Bieber fever.

Of course, the Twitter king took to his page to clear things up:

"I know my friends, family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess."

Juanes is always working on making the world a better place. The "Me Enamora" singer was recently honored with the 2010 "Al-Rashid Hope Award" for his humanitarian efforts at the 8th annual FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Gala in Miami, Florida.

Over 550 guests attended the star-studded event that included performances by Luis Enrique, and the former member of Sin Bandera, Noel Schajris. Besides helping victims of cancer, the Latin Grammy winner pioneered the successful Mi Sangre Foundation, which helps victims of mines.

Here is what Juanes had to say about his award:

"As a father, I can't help but be profoundly touched by the children who are currently being treated at St. Jude. At this great hospital our children have hope, and that is why I joined this cause, and with sincere gratitude accept this award."

Congrats Juanes! We admire your revolutionary spirit!
