For those of you hoping that reggaeton was just as passing thing, I have news for you. It ain’t gonna happen. The genre just keeps growing and Daddy Yankee remains the king of the reggaeton reign. More than 500,000 thousand copies of his album “Barrio Fino en Directo” have been sold placing Daddy Yankee for 4 straight weeks at the top of the Billboard Sales Charts. His single “Rompe” has been at the top of the Hot Latin Songs chart for over nine weeks. Daddy Yankee is also numero uno on the Latin Tropical Airplay chart and on the Top Latin Rhythm chart. And if crossing over is any indication of success one only needs to tune to MTV where “Rompe” is at # 5 on TRL. The only thing Daddy Yankee is rompiendo is sales records.

And to a dead woman’s husband. As if she couldn’t get any trashier, after hooking up with a woman’s (Mexican actress Mariana Levy, daughter of the iconic Talina Fernandez) husband like a minute after she died, is now marrying him:
La cantante mexicana Ana Bárbara se dispone a casarse el próximo mes con el arquitecto José María Fernández, ‘Pirru’, el viudo de la actriz Mariana Levy, quien no ha guardado el luto necesario de su recién fallecida esposa.
Eso sí, y como ha sido tradicional desde que se inició esta relación, la exclusiva de la boda ya ha sido vendida a una revista mexicana de espectáculos por una buena cantidad de dinero.
Plaza Sesamo launches new season

The fabulous children’s show on PBS, Plaza Sesamo (the Spanish-language version of Sesame Street) just announced its plans for a new season, and it looks pretty cool:
Plaza’s unique Muppet characters, appear in telenovela parodies to positively demonstrate emotions and help children understand them. Also, watch for special celebrity guest appearances from Jorge Campos, Edith Gonzalez, Sebastian Gonzalez “Chamagol,” Andrea Legarreta, Adal Ramones, and Marco Antonio Regil, as they share adventures with the residents of the Plaza and their viewers.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released a study last week restating what has been said before, that Latinos continue to fall behind in terms of access to health care. While health care disparities have lessened for other people of color compared to whites, treatments for diabetes, mental illness and tuberculosis, as well as dental and preventative care, were just some of the areas in which disparities for Latinos were increasing. According to the National Center for Policy Analysis:
Officials say they cannot identify the reasons for the gaps in health care for Latinos. Carolyn Clancy, director of AHRQ, says that a language barrier might contribute to the disparities, adding that she did not know the extent to which illegal immigration plays a role.
As a Latina I can say that language, immigration status, as well as disparities in income all play a role as to why nuestra gente still are not getting the health care they need and deserve.
