Blogamole › Poncho Herrera

By Sandra Roldán

Rock N Gol may be over, but the excitement is just beginning!  The shoot last week brought out los mejores artistas y estrellas del fútbol, including Pitbull, Akon, Tony Meola, Cobi Jones, Jenni Rivera, Poncho Herrera, Christian Chavez y más!  You may have seen our live-Twitter coverage desde el evento, pero no te preocupes -- todavia tenemos mucho más para mostrarles!  All leading up to the show premiere on June 3rd, solo por MTV Tr3s! Keep it locked to Tr3s and Blogamole, because we promise we've got a lot of Rock N Gol goodies to share in the weeks to come!

So what was the game like, you may ask yourselves?  The fun began when the celebs started arriving Tuesday night at the hotel and we spotted David Bisbal and Poncho Herrera coming into the lobby after a workout session and exchanging tips para el gran juego the next day.  Who were they pumped to see on the field?  None other than Jenni Rivera.  Yeah, we were pretty pumped about that too!

Wednesday morning we arrived to an overcast field at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, pero cuando las estrellas started rolling in, we were overjoyed to see the sun peek through the clouds.  Que día tan perfecto para un partido de fútbol!  After a quick meet-and-greet session (you better believe we got some exclusive entrevistas to share with you later!) the game was underway!

Can we just tell you how amazing it is to see the likes of Brandi Chastain and Marcelo Balboa dribbling a soccer ball to Michelle Rodriguez and Diego Torres?  And, we won't even mention what an incredible futbolista Akon is... oh, all right, yeah we will!  If that whole Konvict Records game ever gets old, we know he'll have an alternate career waiting for him!  No wonder he was chosen to pen the official 2010 World Cup theme song!  Which, by the way, Akon tells us will be extra special, though no mention yet on who will be behind the mic...

Game highlights?  So You Think You Can Dance's Legacy doing major backflips and breakdancing on the field... only to be shown up by Akon matching his moves not a minute later!  Christian Chavez and Poncho Herrera's reunion on the field -- even though they were on separate teams, you could totally feel the love entre los dos ex-miembros de RBD!  Throughout the game Carlos Mencia had some hilarious little quips about los jugadores, and you can be sure he wasn't holding back on his opinion about some of the pop stars' talent with the ball.  He was particularly unimpressed with Jenni Rivera, pero aún peor fue Christian Chavez.  Let's just say he won't be quitting his job as a pop singer anytime soon!  There were a few soccer ball mishaps, including one particular ball that went haywire during an attempt at a 3-point gol, courtesy of a mean kick by Tony Meola.  You'll have to see what happened when the show airs on June 3rd, but we can tell you the action turned quite a few heads...  And of course the big show highlight (besides the winning goal kicks!) was the rockin' performance by Pitbull, who brought down the house with hits old and new, including the first single off his upcoming album, "Alright."

Personal highlights of the game?  Watching Poncho Herrera make a beeline to hug ex-bandmate Christian Chavez on the sidelines in between games.  And having David Bisbal enthralled by my nose ring -- yep, I can say David Bisbal touched my face.  Repeatedly.  Celosas?

Also, Michelle Rodriguez might just be the funniest, most kick-ass chica on the planet -- and she's got a mean soccer steeze, despite a recent injury.  Favorite MRod quote of the day: "Woah, I think someone just got kicked in the nuts!"  Oh, and I must say, I did appreciate the eye candy of watching hombres lindos como Jesse Williams, Walter Perez, Poncho Herrera, Christian Chavez and even Marcelo Balboa working up a sweat... And with such lady players as Debi Nova, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Rodriguez and super sexy referee, Fox Sports correspondent Temryss Lane, we know los hombres had a fun time watching too!

We'll be rolling out behind-the-scenes video, photos, entrevistas y más leading up to the big premiere on June 3rd at 9pm EST, so make sure you keep it locked to Blogamole and MTVTr3s.com!  Check out more pics from the event here!

There's nothing like a good bromance.

If you weren't following our live-tweets from 'Rock N Gol,' then you missed a great moment between ex RBD members Christian Chávez & Poncho Herrera: these bros are definitely still friends and support each other.

Although they were playing on different teams, MTV Tr3s Associate Producer Sandra Roldan reported that the two hermosos definitely had "a moment" when Poncho approached Christian on the field and hugged him.

When Sandra asked Poncho who he still keeps in touch with from RBD, he gave this adorable response:

"[I keep in touch with] all of them, but didn't you see me before? I can't keep away from Christian, I love that guy!"

It's clear that even though RBD broke up, Christian and Poncho have remained buddies. Que lindos!

'Rock N Gol' will air on MTV Tr3s on June 3rd at 9pm EST. Poncho is playing for the Red Team: "Deportivo Cansados," while Christian is on the White Team: "No Se Puede United."

Tr3s Comunidad, who are you for: Team Poncho, Team Christian or both? We can't decide!! Tell us in the comments or @MTV3!

Looks like we have another novela turned pop star grupo! Eight actors from Camaleones have formed a pop group named, what else, grupo Camaleones. The octet, which does not include Belinda, Alfonso Herrera or Pee Wee are slated to release an album later this month.

We'll have to wait and see whether this group will get close to RBD's success.

What do you think? Will you buy their album? [Latin Gossip]

Pregnancy rumors came spilling in after bella cantactriz Belinda fainted on the set of su telenovela, Camaleones, in which she stars opposite Pee Wee and Alfonso "Poncho" Herrera, last week.

Others attributed el desmayo to her recent break-up con jugador de fútbol, Giovani Dos Santos, after being caught partying with another guy at a nightclub.  That might be more likely, since Camaleones producer, Rosy Ocampo, has now confirmed that Belinda is indeed NOT pregnant.  Menos mal!

Reporter Shanik Berman informed el mundo months ago that rockera Belinda had plans to go under the knife... The Spanish-born singer claimed her nip-tuck was not out of vanity, but would help alleviate sinus issues.

The surgery, which took place in March 2009, has now healed and is ready for primetime!

Rumors had it that Belinda was headed for a much more drastic makeover than we see here, including work on her chin.  Belinda chalked up el chisme to Camaleones producer Rosy Ocampo creating buzz around the show, which started shooting in June 2009. Belinda, who stars in Camaleones as the central character Angelica, accompanies Pee Wee and RBD graduate Poncho Herrera in the cast.

Who is reponsible for Belinda's new honker? The nineteen-year-old singer of "Bella Traición" was in good hands; the rhinoplasty was performed by experienced plastic surgeon Raul Lopez Infante out of Mexico City. [Yahoo Mujer]

The overwhelming response to Belinda's new nose in today's Twittersphere was negative, but we think the already-beautiful Belinda looks just fine.  Que piensas de la nueva nariz de la Señorita Peregrin? [Yahoo]

More photos of the new Belinda after the jump!

Always leave it up to Belinda to spark up a dirty chisme...

Although Belinda hasn't confirmed her role in the upcoming telenovela "Camaleones," her soon-to-be co-star Poncho Herrera reveals that he can't wait to work with the "Angel" star. The ex-Rebelde estrella is set to play the lead male protagonist for the upcoming dramatic series. If la Mexicana accepts the role she will have a positive welcome back into the spotlight and may have found her new real life love interest.

That's right, Mr. Poncho is single. Read what he had to say about working with Belinda:

Nos hemos visto en festivales de radio y todo, siempre nos saludamos con cariño, pero nunca sentamos a platicar. Sé que es una chica muy talentosa, y ojalá sí, empecemos a trabajar juntos pronto.

Can we blame him for wanting to work with la Belinda? Better yet, do we spot a future couple? [Pop Chismes]
