Chayanne is Gabriel and El Puma could be George Washington

MEGA TV will broadcast a behind the scenes special "Descubriendo el Secreto" (Discovering the Secret) of their hit megaseries "Gabriel." This special will air on Sunday, September 14th at 10:00 PM.
"Gabriel" is a modern day vampire (portrayed by Chayanne), a tortured being whose only hope of salvation lies in reuniting with his reincarnated soul mate, Eva (played by the Mexican starlet Angelica Celaya). Eva was killed over 300 years ago when Gabriel was still mortal and his village was attacked by the bloodthirsty, conquistador-turned-night stalker Pizarro (portrayed by the renowned Jose Luis Rodriguez). Doomed to roam eternal darkness after being cursed by an Inca princess as revenge for the destruction of her village, Pizarro threatens to once again rob Gabriel of his long-lost love.
The megaseries "Gabriel," is produced by Megafilms and DirecTV Mas. The cast includes some of the top Spanish-language actors such as: Chayanne, Angelica Celaya, Jose Luis "El Puma" Rodriguez, Laura Ferretti, Sebastian Ligarde, Julian Gil, Mirta Renee, Laura Zerra, Freddy Viquez, Juan David Ferrer, Alvaro Ruiz, Marcos Miranda, Leonardo Krys and Camila Banus.

Chayanne gives up his shirt to the Hard Rock Cafe

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.

Chayanne's Tour Demands

We thought Diva demands were just for Paulina Rubio, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin...apparantly not! During Chayanne's tour throughout Latin America, the Puertorican puppy ask for the following among other things:
-2 cases of Evian water
-2 cases of Red Bull
-12 white cloth napkins
-12 black cloth napkins
-fresh fruit for 10 to include watermelon, strawberries and kiwi
-and yes...7 tanks of oxygen
