Wisin y Yandel have sparked caliente controversy over their recent collaboration with Tony Dize for their latest album “La Mente Maestra.” This chisme spread through the streets like wildfire and our brave souls are dead in the center of todo el fuego!

The música masterminds recently published an announcement on their official site declaring, “Wisin & Yandel se vende a Tony Dize." Fans immediately began speculating whether the dynamic duo were permanently expanding their affiliation with the "Permítame" reggaetonero. It turns out that the controversial statement was made to promote their latest collabo "Se Vende."

The Boricua duo recently spoke about their industry hustle:

Wisin: Todavía nos sentimos raros y nos da fiebre y somos bien fiebrúos. Yo creo que por eso la carrera de Wisin & Yandel sigue en ascenso, tú sabes, sigue pa allá arriba.

Yandel: Nosotros nos encanta visitar las casas disqueras y ver los discos y ver cuántos quedan y ver cuántos hay, ‘mira esto está mal acomodado. Mira, ¿puedes poner esto aquí?’, tú sabes, y exigimos. Es bonito de verdad que sí porque nosotros nos hemos echado para esto, ¿me entiendes? Y lo cuidamos.

These fellas definitely know they have the goods to keep us guessing! "La Mente Maestra" was slated for release on November 4th, but the date was recently pushed to November 11th due to Election Day. Apparently they rather you run to the polls instead of to las tiendas to cop their new release. They just earned plus points in our book! [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias, ElCorillord.com]

Today MTV Tr3s scored front row seats to a MTV forum on the Latino vote and its influence on the '08 election. "The 2008 Latino Vote: Challenges, Opportunities, and Influence" panel featured Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión Jr., actress and Voto Latino co-founder Rosario Dawson, political corespondent Leslie Sanchez, and the one-and-only Fat Joe.

Although Fat Joe kept it strictly political on the panel, our Tr3s posse informed us that he was talking smack about Daddy Yankee in the green room. We heard that the Puerto Rican-Cuban hip-hop artist can't understand why 'El Cangri endorsed a politician he knows nothing about in the first place.'

Chisme is chisme, so we watched the panel to get more of Fat Joe's point of view on the election:

Our youth have a lot of information at their finger tips, and they can make up their own minds. The Internet is crazy and loaded with knowledge. The bottom line is that the youth want to be a part of something and we are trying our very best to get out there and let them know that we can make a difference. Your vote can really change what is going on in America.

Fat Joe is supporting Obama and he's got the deets to back it up. Not only does he talk the talk, but he wears his partisanship on his sleeve...er, feet. He's pro-Obama right down to his crispy democratic kicks! Be sure to keep it locked for more Fat Joe on Mi TRL October 23rd at 4pm and 9pm!

As the second RBD worldwide march took place on October 4th, the "Este Corazón" singers confessed that their fans aren't the only ones feeling un poco of nostalgia...

While thousands of "Tu Amor" fans expressed their love for the pop group over the weekend, RBD was bidding their final farewell to Venezuela. According to the RBD official site, the farewell tour officially ends on December 6th in Mexico City, but the pop stars are already preparing themselves for the final adiós.

Maria Dulce recently stated:

Ahora sí vamos todos juntos y sí hay como nostalgia, como raro, pero a la vez muy emocionados a echarle todas las ganas, a compartir con la gente.

Christopher also added:

Es de los últimos conciertos pero bastante contentos, no sabemos cuándo es el último pero ahorita vamos a Venezuela por lo pronto.

It feels like we have been saying goodbye to these chicos forever! Bueno, at least it sounds like Christopher has some hope for a reunion in the future. Do you have the same esperanza?

Shakira may have her corazón set on eliminating poverty in Latin America, but the passionate advocate is also publicizing her thoughts on our Presidential campaign in November. The "Illegal" singer affirms that if she could "Rock The Vote" in the United States it would be for Obama all the way.

She states to the Peruvian publication 24 Horas Libre:

Si pudiera votar, lo haría por Barack Obama. Pienso que es la persona que puede hacerle llegar al mundo el verdadero mensaje americano. Siento en mi corazón que él podría reconstruir la paz y la confianza en los Estados Unidos; un país que aprecio profundamente.

Shaki made sure to remind all Latinos in the United States to represent by running to the polls on November 4th. Just a few weeks ago the "Hips Don't Lie" star was shakin' things up at a conference for ALAS, which included the presidents of Mexico, Argentina, El Salvador, Panama and Paraguay. Her revolutionary espírito for global peace shines as bright as her platinum tresses! What political movements are you showing "Un Poco De Amor" for? [24 Horas Libre Peru]

We were behind-the-scenes with Calle 13 as they filmed the video for new single "No Hay Nadie Como Tu."

The song, from upcoming album Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo shows Calle teaming up with Grammy-Award winning Mexican roqueros Café Tacuba.

The sepia-saturated video is part circus fun, part creeptastic horror show. Adding to its electic vibe is the wealth of bizarro photo footage, from children see-sawing and half-naked gypsies dancing, to someone on the toilet. Pero, it all makes sense when synced together. We do expect something unique from Calle 13, verdad?

Get your FIRST LOOK of stills from the video after the jump. No olvides:

Catch Café Tacuba when they take the stage LIVE at Los Premios on October 16th at 9pm on MTV Tr3s.

No olvides, Calle 13 is Artist of the Week on MTV from October 2nd - October 13th. We've got enough news on these boricua bros to fill up un blog entero.
