This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Latin Grammy Awards, y por eso we're expecting their best show yet. The Latin Recording Academy plans to give us just that.

Rita Moreno made history as the first Latina to win an Oscar for "Best Supporting Actress" for her whimsical "I Feel Pretty" vocals and groundbreaking mambo skills in the film "West Side Story," and now the script is shaking its way back to the streets of Broadway.

The modern day Shakespearian production complete with forbidden star-crossed lovers and notorious revivals (Jets vs. Sharks) will be hitting the stage for special performances at the Palace Theatre beginning on February 23th, while opening night is scheduled for March 19th. Producer, Arthur Laurents has officially ended casting calls and has announced the complete cast of estrellas including, Matt Cavenaugh as Tony, Karen Olivo as Anita, and Josefina Scaglione as Maria.

Josefina may sound like a newcomer, but the eye-catching trained opera singer and actress has a larger fan-base than most rookie pop stars. The 21-year-old Argentine won thousands of fan votes on MySpace for her Broadway portrayal, and word is that the caliente entertainer was offered the role by Arthur himself! Perhaps we have a new A-lister in the works...

If you thought the película was priceless, prepare yourself for the police whistles and mambo moves reinventing the colorful drama that is "West Side Story." For tickets visit Ticketmaster.com.

Forget waiting until Friday to get the fin de semana started!

We're celebrating the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latino style (pass the piñatas, güey) by throwing a pre-game fiesta tonight at Los Angeles' Level 3 club. Did we mention that Calle 13 and Colby O'Donis are performing, only to be joined by a slew of hot latin celebs on the red carpet?

Calle 13 will treat party goers to songs from their new album "Los de Atras Vienen Conmigo," as well as classic cuts like "Atrévete Te, Te!" and "Pal Norte." This is the FIRST time that fans will hear new Calle tunes; fans of the Puerto Rican duo have been chomping at the bit for new developments since Calle 13 took over the Latin Grammys in 2006 with awards for their self-titled debut album.

Colby (and a special guest) will be his smooth self at the show, performing a fifteen minute set including "What You Got" in Spanish and "So Sick of Love" unplugged.

We're chillin' stageside at Level 3 right now for Calle 13's rehearsal. There's no sign of Residente or Colby yet, but Visitante strolled in ready for la parranda while rockin' a Christopher Walken tee-shirt. His sister also came ready for the mayhem by wearing a red clown nose while kicking back with the band.

We can spoon feed you all the details, but we'd rather you see it for yourself. Stay tuned for more chisme from rehearsals, and then watch FULL VIDEO COVERAGE OF CALLE 13 and COLBY O' DONIS' performances from the Tr3s VMA Pre-Party tomorrow, September 5th in the following places:
