Paulina Rubio is taking a leap on her next album, set for release in 2006, by making it a double whammy, according to Esmas.com (via Ticias.com, she’s going the Shakira route and recording one in English and another in Spanish:

Pese a no dar muchos detalles ante los medios, sí que pudo asegurar que un álbum será en inglés y otro en español y que actualmente está escribiendo temas con artistas como Juanes, Alejandro Sanz y Coti.

I’m sure she’s counting on Alejandro giving her songs that extra “no sé qué” found on his collaborations with Shakira.

In other Paulina-related news, it seems “la chica dorada” has been doing some weird stuff lately. Last week, she apparently got pissed and decided to skip out on a TV appearance in Chile. This week, the news is that, contrary to the article above, Juanes has no knowledge of a collaboration with Paulina on her new album.
