Felicitaciones a Tommy Torres!  El cantautor boricua was named "Compositor del Año" by the ASCAP (that would be The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, for those who don't know) for penning some of 2009's hottest songs.

Not only is he responsible for writing his own hit ballad "Imparable," which featured hermanos Jesse y Joy, pero tambien the duet between Alejandro Sanz and Alicia Keys, "Looking for Paradise."

Keep writing those hits, Tommy!

Time to get to the real café con leche chisme...

Who looked their best and who deserved a wardrobe shredder? The mini-skirts were up high (along with the push-up bras) and the pimp suits were dry-cleaned to perfection at last night's Premio Lo Nuestro 2009. Gloria Trevi flossed her winning spirit in a Katy Perry-inspired dress, which we nicknamed 'The Disco Baby Doll' look. The look may have been all silver, but we want to know who you think looked golden all night long...
