24 May 2007In an event that could very well have me teetering between life and death as a result of an overdose of cheesiness, Mexican bubble gum pop superstars RBD will be performing at the cheesefest known as Miss Universe, this year taking place in Mexico City:
The Miss Universe Organization announced today that Mexican singing sensation RBD will perform three songs from their award winning album Rebelde during the two-hour LIVE telecast which will simulcast on NBC and Telemundo on May 28, 2007 at 9:00 p.m. ET/delayed PT.
The six young charismatic vocalists that power RBD – Anahi, Dulce Maria, Maite, Christopher, Christian and Alfonso “Poncho” will perform at the National Auditorium and sing their hit songs “Money Money,” “Carino Mio” and “Wanna Play.”
Not sure you can take it? Try viewing the video above and if you can get through it, you’re safe to catch the competition on Monday night. Hopefully no one will faint.

Despite a trade embargo against Cuba, one state has its heart on figuring out a way to get one of its key crops to the island nation. That state is North Dakota and the crop is potatoes to Cuba. The biggest concern is getting the papas to Cuba without them spoiling.
“If we can begin sales of North Dakota potatoes and do it in a way that gets them down here in good shape, that would be a very successful trade mission because we’ve been talking about it for five years and so far it hasn’t happened,” said Roger Johnson, agriculture commissioner for the state.
