Although Don Omar didn't win his round of La Super Copa Tr3s, Team Blogamole has to give him major props. Not only does he know how to fire up a party with his "iDon" ways, but as the spokesperson for the 2010 Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards, the reggaetonero also encourages Latino youth to receive a college education — with free money!

The King of Kings is speaking out to all Latino high school juniors, encouraging them to apply to leadership grants funded by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. Three lucky students will be selected in each of the following academic categories, including Math & Engineering, Education, Business, Science, Community Service, and others that will soon be announced.

The hitmaker spoke out about his involvement in this program:

"I am calling on Latino youth to step up and be role models and leaders to help move the Latino community forward. The Hispanic Heritage Foundation is focused on not simply recognizing young leaders but putting them in a position from which to lead and positively affect others in the future.

Education, community service and entering the workforce in a strong position are essential for the future of America, not just the Latino community. We’re counting on our youth and I believe we’re in good hands."

Want to be a part of this amazing opportunity? You still have until July 1 to apply! The applications for the 2010 Youth Awards are now available at www.hispanicheritage.org. Buena suerte!!!

In case you missed our first announcement: Wisin y Yandel fans, your sueños have come true! The dynamic duo are planning to ignite their second "La Revolución" US Tour starting at El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas on July 22nd.

After completing their sold out tour in fifteen cities last year, including New York and Miami, the "Abusadora" stars have decided to hit up additional cities and show fans that their musical revolution is still alive.

The talented Boricuas are the first and only reggaeton group to also make history by selling out Madison Square Garden, Radio City, and the Staple Center in Los Angeles. Wisin y Yandel may have ticket sales in the US on lock, but Latin America has also embraced them after having record breaking audiences in Mexico and Argentina.

Yandel shouted out his thoughts about their upcoming US tour:

"Nos sentimos orgullosos de poder presentar nuestros conciertos de costa a costa incluyendo en ciudades en las cuales pocos artistas latinos logran presentarse."

"We feel proud to be able to present our concerts coast to coast, including cities that most artists don't get the chance to present in."

President Barack Obama isn't the only one wishing to "kick someone's ass" about the historical BP oil spill on the Gulf Coast. Jessica Alba also sounded off about the leak that has endangered animals and coastal businesses after an estimated 47 million gallons of oil blasted into the coastal waters.

"The Killer Inside Me" actress recently posted via Twitter:

"So BP denies that thr R underwater plumes. wht do U think? regardless ths is the by far 1 of most devastating man made disasters. Terrible."

Alba isn't the only celeb voicing her opinion on the dilemma. Kevin Costner actually came up with his own oil spill separator invention! No joke. The actor spoke star spoke in front of the House Subcommittee on Environment about the tool he developed for $20 million of his own money! Now that's making a difference!

According to the New York Times, BP has tentatively agreed to pay $20 billion for victims of the spill, and that doesn't include more billions that will be spent on clean up costs.

Twitter seems to be doing wonders for Snooki's game. The MTV reality star was recently caught flirting with former New Kids on the Block member Jordan Knight! The "Jersey Shore" guidette sparked the playful exchange with the pop singer by tweeting, "Wanna meet up since your [sic] in town? We can finally fist pump together." Knight responded back, "I'd love to Snooks.... Lemme know. I'm all yours."

We can hear New Kids On The Block fans groaning with disappointment, but we are hoping Snooki isn't really into this 40-year-old 'kid':

@jordanknight so I'm in the cab and see a headline of us dating LOL! The things twitter does! U know I got all love for you J-rock

Maybe Snooks was just covering her tracks. Before laughing off the dating chisme, Snooki had tweeted, "I'm about to get Romantic tonight Lucky guy."

Could it be her ex-boyfriend Emilio? Or another juiced-up guido? We don't care, as long as it isn't Jordan, right?!

Season 2 of "Jersey Shore" premieres on MTV on July 29.

"Celebrating History, Heritage and the American Dream" is the festive theme of this year's Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's (CHCI) Awards, which recently announced Eva Longoria, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and jazz legend Arturo Sandoval as their 2010 highest honored recipients.

The celebrity philanthropists are set to receive the 2010 Medallion of Excellence for Leadership and Community Service during the 33rd Annual Awards Gala being held on September 15 in Washington, D.C.

The actress who plays Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC series "Desperate Housewives" may be known for her greedy and egotistical ways on-screen, but en la vida real Longoria is a highly respected activist. In 2006, Eva founded Eva's Heroes, an organization committed to helping disabled children find the support they need to live a quality-driven life. As the national spokesperson for Padres Contra el Cancer, Eva also promotes the nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding Latino children and families affected by cancer.

The Chicana isn't just keeping her passion for change behind-the-scenes. She is currently producing her first documentary film titled "Harvest," which reveals the truth behind child farm workers in the U.S.

We were all saddened once singer Luis Fonsi and telenovela star Adamari Lopez announced their separation last November. The biggest shock was that the break-up was allegedly caused by Fonsi's cheating ways, but does a recent sighting of the couple together mean they will rekindle their relationship?

According to Latin Gossip, the ex-couple were spotted celebrating a mutual friend's birthday at Mercadito Midtown in Miami. They had dinner with a large group of friends and socialized together throughout the evening.

Although there are rumors romantically linking Adamari to an ex-Colombian drug trafficker (OMG!), she has firmly denied the chismes and claimed they are "totally false."

Even if she is single, we doubt the Puerto Rican beauty would take her ex-husband back. Once a cheater always a cheater right?
