Paulina dissed in Puerto Rico

If ticket sales are any indication of how Puerto Ricans feel about Paulina Rubio, then la chica dorada’s relationship with PR must be on the rocks. PauPau’s concert there only sold a measly 1500 tickets, forcing officials to reorganize the seating inside the Coliseo de Puerto Rico to make up for the lack of attendees.
Paulina wasn’t fazed, and expressed her desire to “dejar la piel arriba del escenario” no matter how many people showed up. That’s good, as she needs the money.

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said Saturday that Fidel really was on the verge of death a few months ago, but that the Cuban leader was more concerned about Chavez not dying than himself. Awwww.
“Fidel, when he was cofined to the bed — because he’s not in the bed anymore — was in very delicate health,” said Chavez before a crowd in an event related to the unified government party that he is creating.Chávez said that he had told Fidel that he could not die. “But there he was, having already been in danger of dying for many days, and he said ‘Chávez, I can die now. You don’t worry about me; you are the one who can’t die.”
On Sunday, Chavez announced on his weekly radio show that he has a plan for “collective property”, which would take large “idle” parcels of land from their owners and into the hands of the Venezuelan people. Man, he was serious about that socialism thing.

Latinos Like Frituras But This is a Bit Much

I, like many Puerto Ricans and Latinos, like fried food and no matter what “experts” may say a bacalaito every once in a while won’t kill you but your wife may.
Rosanita Nery dos Santos, 52, drugged her husband in his sleep, then stabbed him to death two years ago in Salvador, about 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo, said police spokesman Idmar Bonfim.
She then hacked Jose Raimundo Soares dos Santos’ body into more than 100 pieces, which she boiled and fried before hiding in plastic bags beneath a staircase in her house, Bonfim said. He said police discovered the body parts after receiving an anonymous phone call.
The motives for the killing may have included avenging years of humiliation. The wife, convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison , denies killing her spouse but admits to cutting and frying him.

There has always been debate among the Spanish speaking community as to who speaks better (meaning proper) Spanish, with the Spain via its Real Academia Español claiming to be the uncontested voice of reason. But that is about to change.
Ignacio Bosque, professor of the Autonomous University of Madrid and author of Nueva gramática de la lengua española told El Pais that the ‘New Spanish Grammar’ is grammar which has been put together by 22 different academies representing Spanish-speaking countries.
