Reggaeton stars want to sue Venezuelan candidate

Grammy award-winning Calle 13 is looking to sue Hugo Chavez’s rival for the presidency of Venezuela, Manuel Rosales. According to the reggaeton stars, Rosales used their song “Atrévete-te” without their permission during his campaign events:
“The use [of the song] may lead to serious legal consequences for whomever is using it,” the group’s attorney Juan Dalmau told Puerto Rican daily “El Nuevo DÃa” in today’s issue.“Calle 13′s position is clear: cease and desist,” said the attorney, who also sent a message to the Venezuelan consulate in Puerto Ricos stating the position of the group and its representatives.
Meanwhile, Rosales’ PR guy is biting back, saying that the song was “inspired” by the Calle 13 hit but isn’t the same, and adds that the song was performed by Venezuelan musicians.

Marc Anthony makes JLo slow down

Ever wonder what the hell it is that JLo sees in her hubby Marc Anthony? JLo spilled one of his qualities to Harper’s Bazaar, according to People Magazine:
“He makes me slow down and eat lunch, which I used not to do,” she says. “We have different philosophies. I’ve been so disciplined. His process is ‘Chill, don’t kill yourself.’“Maybe,” she suggests, “I’ve got a martyr thing because I was raised Catholic. But with him I feel like I should relax and slow down. That’s a first for me.”
Seriously, JLo, slow down. You’re rich as hell, so you deserve a break today.
She doesn’t look like she’s getting one, though. Marc hauled JLo off to the D.R. and had her singing some duets with him at a concert there. I just hope that was nothing like their horrible “Escapemonos” fiasco at the 2005 Grammys.

I’ll shut my lefty revolutionary mouth, as some would label it and blog about what’s really important, the Latin Grammys! For the first time in its history, the Latin Grammys will be in my current homebase, New York City. The event is scheduled for November 2nd at Madison Square Garden. With the move to such a large NYC venue, I just have one thing to say to the Grammy people, give VL press credentials!!!

Latin Grammys fail to impress (me)

It’s just my own personal opinion, but in spite of the fact that there was a greater sense of sponteneity and a more laid-back atmosphere this year (presenters that struggled with English could finally relax and deliver their lines in Spanish), I had higher hopes for this year’s entrega.
First of all, I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to put plasticman Eduardo Santamarina up there as a host. He’s one of the worst actors in Mexico (and that says a lot, given that he’s a telenovela actor) and turned out to be an even worse presenter. That same person must have thought that Rebecca de Alba was a good pick. Yes, she’s beautiful, but she was BORING. Her tone was as if she was presenting the Nobel Peace Prize or something.
