Now, on to a couple whose marriage is still working. Colombian superestrellaJuanes confirmed reports that his latest baby -and first son- with wife Karen Martinez will be dubbed Dante…in spite of the fact that they own a dog of the same name.
“Estamos muy felices con la espera de nuestro hijo y ya decidimos que se va a llamar Dante porque es un nombre que siempre me ha gustado desde la Divina Comedia [de Dante Alighieri].”
Follow the jump to read more about Juanes’ new arrival, including why daughters Luna and Paloma are giving baby Dante a little hate…
According to sources, Canadian-born portuguesaNelly Furtado is set to release an all-Spanish album this coming September!
As you all know, Nelly is no stranger to Spanish singing, having already worked on killer collaborations with Calle 13 on “No Hay Igual,” and helping Juanes rake in the Latin Grammys in 2003 with “Fotografía.”
We’re hoping Nelly manages to hit it big with this latest project. We’ve even got a copy of her debut “I’m a Like a Bird” album tucked away in our closet somewhere.
But some of you out there may not be feeling Portuguese Nelly’s efforts to break into Latin music. Hit us back and tell us what you think of her latest career move.
Follow the jump to relive all your favorite moments from last night’s awards, including all of Juanes‘ whirlwind wins, Gloria Trevi’s powerhouse performance, and Alejandra Guzmán’s awkward kiss with a middle-aged woman.
Juanes‘ press people confirmed the rumors to People en Español, saying:
“Es oficial. Karen, Juanes, Luna y Paloma están felices.“
Juanes and his wife (a.k.a. the luckiest woman in the world), Karen Martínez, are expecting their third child in mid-September, though its still too early to determine the sex of the baby.
Today’s staff pick off our new Video page is the infectious, upbeat, and all around fabulous “Tres” off of Juanes‘ “La Vida…Es Un Ratico” album.
In grand Juanes tradition, this video really has no real connection to what he’s singing about (think “La Camisa Negra” and “La Paga”), but that doesn’t keep the upbeat vallenato undertones from coming out either way.
If you find yourself getting confused about why there is a troupe of underwear-clad dancers doing somersaults, just close your eyes! The music will do its part. And if you’re just not feeling Juanes right now, browse through our ever-expanding video library and see if you can’t find something that satisfies your musical appetite.
Enjoy today’s pick! Follow the link to see the video.
Some of you have long called for a little diversity in our objectification of superestrellas…so this post is for you!
We’re here to decide which of these pieces of man takes the cake when it comes to being the finest thing we’ve seen all year.
Will it be Eduardo Yañez, the Human Bear? This beefy telenovela hero was voted People en Espanol’s Sexiest Man this year, and pretty much embodies most women’s fantasies when it comes to studly machos.
Perhaps you want your beef with a side of Oscar gold? If that’s the case, then let us recommend our favorite Spaniard, Javier Bardem. Not only is this unconventionally handsome man extremely talented, but word on the street is that he is unexpectedly nice…for a Hollywood heavyweight.
Maybe you’re looking for an artsy pretty boy to fulfill your fantasies. Then drop dead gorgeous brasileñoRodrigo Santoro couldn’t be more perfect.
Lastly…Juanes. Seriously, need I say more? I know that picture of him is kind of old, but no matter what artistic phase this guy is going through, one thing remains certain: our undying love of this multi-talented humanitarian.
So weigh in, Lossip readers, and tell us which of these fine, fine men was your favorite this year.
Ok, so while I will admit to not being J. Lo’s biggest fan (come one! The girl can’t act to save her life and yet she’s the highest paid Latina in the biz?) I’ve got to make it clear to all you Lossip readers that a deep and great respect for all Latinos is what I’m all about.
Also dispelling rumors of brown-on-brown hate is Juanes, who recently spoke out against the rumored war of envidia that some say has been raging between him and his fellow colombiana, Shakira.
“No hay ningún tipo de diferencias (con Shakira). Ni siquiera nos conocemos lo suficiente como para decir que somos amigos o enemigos. De parte mía, hay una admiración muy grande hacia ella en lo musical.”
Apparently, some media shit starters claimed that the two were secretly competing with one another to see who was the better singer/humanitarian.
Now that is where we draw the line. Both Juanes and Shakira have taken great lengths to help the situation in their home country via their respective charities (his “Fundación Mi Sangre” and her “Fundación Pies Descalzos”) in addition to being phenomenal songwriters.
So just to clarify, its the vanidosas that we hate on, not random Latinas. If you have the money to help your people, why not use it?
