Yes!!! Latin Grammy awards Vegas bound while Billboard Latin heads to Puerto Rico. Premios MTVLA?

The Latin Grammy's returns to Sin City, Las Vegas for the 2nd time after a very dismal show in 2008 in Houston. The show will take place on November 5th, 2009. We're excited about that!

Meanwhile the Billboard Latin awards head to Puerto Rico, in 2010. We would have to bet is because show producer Tony Mojena has pulled some strings and wants to give PR the spotlight. Recently Mojena, moved Telemundo's morning show Levantate, despite the dragging ratings. In anycase we're looking forward to covering the show in La Isla del Encanto because we just love the freakin place.

And finally we have the Premios MTV Latinoamerica, held in Mexico the last few years, with its weakest show last year in Guadalajara. Although not announced, we're putting our bets on Colombia. Could it really be?

Wherever any of these shows take place, count on Juanes showing up to pick his awards.

FLEX on top of the world

Flex is having an amazing year. Last night the Panamanian reggeaton star won for Urban Song of the Year with his hit "Te quiero". Up next for FLEX his 10 nominations to Billboard Latin awards next month in Miami.

After all these year Chayanne is not only a mega latin superstar, but one of the nicest. He poses for photos, signs autographs, not pretencious and his radient smile.
Chayanne's performance at Billboard Latin awards was probably the best part of this year's show. The boricua star found time from his busy schedule to present memoriabilia to the Hard Rock Cafe that will hang along with items of Carlos Santana, The Beatles, and Madonna.

RBD not looking so together anymore!!

Despite 5 out the 6 members showing up for the 2008 Billboard Latin awards, the group looked tired and overworked. Maite from the group did even show up, the band did not perform and right after the show, only 3 members did post media interview, while Christian and Anahi were no where in sight. Could this be the end of RBD??? You decide

First Ever Heineken Latin Music Memorabilia Silent Auction to Benefit the NALAC Fund for the Arts Heineken Green Ribbon Grant


For years celebrities have proudly worn the Heineken Green Ribbon(R) to show their support of Latin music during the Billboard Latin Music Conference and Awards.

"The Heineken Green Ribbon celebrates the talent, drive and commitment it takes to achieve success as a Hispanic musician in the U.S.", says Marime Riancho, Heineken Senior Brand Director, Multicultural Markets for Heineken USA. "What better way to honor this cause then by auctioning off memorabilia from artists who have been through the journey from dream to success and donating the money raised to support emerging talent along their own journey?"

The Silent Auction will take place April 7th, 8th and 9th during the Billboard Latin Music Conference at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. Bidding will end at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, April 9th. Among the unique memorabilia that will be up for auction are:
