Aunque singer-songwriting dúo Jesse y Joy may have una relación padrísima de hermanos in addition to their musical chemistry, they still get into brother-sister fights the same as the rest of us!

El dúo mexicano, who are dropping their nuevo album Electricidad on September 15th, recently sat down with us to share a few personal tidbits. As we await the release of the new music video for their second single off Electricidad, "Adiós," we're taking a closer look at la relación de estos hermanos tán talentosos!

We just want to give them un abrazote they are so cute! Just goes to prove that pop stars en verdad are exactly like the rest of us who get into peleas con nuestros hermanos.  Okay, maybe not exactly como nosotros - we'd like to have some Latin Grammys and platinum albums under our belts too... Grr!

Ever wonder how to dance la bachata?  La diva Dominicana, Kat DeLuna, recently taught MTV Entertainment reporter Toby Turner how to do just that before headlining the MTV Tr3s concert held at Six Flags Magic Mountain as part of the mtvU VMA Tour.

Watch more of Kat's antics en la entrevista completa con Toby, where she dishes on career highlights and reveals a fun fact:  Did you know that the name of Kat's debut album 9 Lives refers to the number of times that Kat was rejected by record labels? Looks like this fine feline can look back and laugh; shes's an "Unstoppable" superstar!

Que pasa cuando los chicos de Isa TKM van al bosque para una excursión?  Drama, drama, drama!

Rey nearly misses the trip after spending an extra-long session delante del espejo.

Cristina, in true high-maintenance fashion, barely makes the outing because she's weighed down con un montón de equipaje.  She packs so heavy for the school trip...that she needs a plane to carry her to the destination!

Linda is tormented by wasps, flies and worst of all...tarántulas venenosas.  Sin embargo, the sting of bothersome bugs goes unnoticed since Linda gets to spend time with her favorite pretty boy, Rey, during the school field trip.

Alex drifts away from Cristina...straight towards Isa.  Los dos get closer during their weekend sojourn mientras pasando tiempo juntos en las montañas...Will the two finally declare their love for one another or will their field trip leave them with regrets?

What else will happen en el bosque? Let's just hope the Isa cast doesn't come face-to-face con animales salvajes!

BREAKING NEWS! Nominee announcements went out today for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.  What grabbed nuestra atención when we scanned the list?  EL DÚO DINÁMICO ESTAN NOMINADOS! After a runaway year, with record-breaking album sales and #1 videos, Wisin y Yandel have been nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.

We think los boricuas can swing it, especially since they're a hit con las mujeres.  Los Revolucionarios are nominated in the Best Pop category for "Abusadora" against Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Cobra Starship and Britney Spears. Wisin y Yandel join rapper and Degrassi grad Drake, roqueros Kings of Leon and college boy Asher Roth as VMA nominee virgins. They are the third Latin artist (Tres es el número de la suerte, no?) to earn a VMA nomination for a music video with Spanish only lyrics, following the 2005 nominations for Shakira's "La Tortura" and Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina."

Un Circo de Mujeres

The ladies claimed a fair share of nominations at this year's VMAs. Beyoncé schooled her VMA colleagues by earning nine nods for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," and Lady Gaga earned a collective nine noms for "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi."  Not to be outdone, Britney (no se pueden tener los VMAs sin Britney), earned five noms combined for "Womanizer" and "Circus."

Viva La Vida, y Los Hombres!

Coldplay, Jay-Z, Green Day, Eminem and Kanye West will be vying for VMA titles este año también.  With problem children like Eminem and Kanye at the VMAs, the night is sure to be un éxito polémico.

GET YOUR CLICKING FINGER READY! Voting is open at VMA.MTV.COM, where you can view all of the nominated artists in categories like Best Male, Best Female, Video of the Year and Best Video (That Didn't Win A Moonman).  You can also vote via SMS; text 97979 to vote para tus nominados favoritos por teléfono.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will air September 13th at 9 pm EST on MTV and September 20th at 5PM EST on MTV Tr3s (con subtítulos en español).

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!

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]

Cuéntanos, what do you think of Nelly Furtado's nueva canción en español? Watch the video below, catch it all day on Tr3s, and drop your comments here!

"Manos Al Aire" features a military-esque Nelly who decides to end las batallas con su enamorado, cast off all her battle gear (and then some...) and surrender to el amor.

Check out some behind-the-scenes clips from the "Manos Al Aire" video shoot below to find out la inspiración para la nueva canción, meet the cast and more!  And don't forget to check out Nelly's iTunes page to download "Más," the second single off Mi Plan!

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?
