I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards last night. I must be getting old because I don’t know who half the people nominated were. Pero even before M.I.A shook her pregnant pansa up on the stage (mas on that later), Latinos got their awards in the untelevised portion of the show, porque really who cares about Latin music anyway? In fact, most Latin musicians didn’t even go to get their awards, not even Juanes, who is pictured getting an award last year. This yeah Gustavo Santaolalla accepted the award for Mejor Latin Pop Album. Juanes was kind enough to send a message though saying he dedicated the honor to those held hostage in the Colombian jungle.
Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album went to Jaguares, whom I’ve never liked. I wanted Locos Por Juana to win.

According to Lossip, Mexicana estrella Thalia is gonna strip down como dios la trajo al mundo for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Other Latino stars who have bared all for animales include Patricia Manterola who posed as a caged tiger calling for boycotts against circuses, Eve Mendes who would rather go naked than wear fur, and Constance Marie, who didn’t strip for PETA but urged spaying & neutering in print and television ads. Rockeros Jaguares lent their voices for a pro-vegetarianism radio spot and tv ads. Television star MarÃa Celeste has done a number of radio spots for PETA.
