Okay, it's that time again.  The time for another epic musical showdown that is.  This time: El Rey del Reggaeton vs. The Kings of Bachata.  Who would win?!

On the left side of the ring is Don Omar, who with his "Virtual Diva" and "Reggaeton Latino" has kept our bodies shakin' on the dancefloor... but holding their own on the right side is Aventura.  Romeo y el resto de los K.O.B. have been melting corazoncitos con bachata jams like "Dile Al Amor" y "Por Un Segundo."  Pero... who has earned the right to the throne??  YOU TELL US!

Watch more Aventura & Don Omar videos on MTVTr3s.com. Don't miss El Rey del Reggaeton vs. The Kings of Bachata all weekend long por MTV Tr3s, starting este sábado at 2pm EST.

Chances are you've heard the super hot remix to Don Omar's 'Hasta Abajo' as it's blowing up la radio.  Pero si aún no lo has escuchado, check it out here!

Por cierto, that's Daddy Yankee who joined in with the King of Kings on the remix to 'Hasta Abajo' and we're happy the duo have put aside their beef to collaborate on this track. This is the first time 'El Rey' and 'El Jefe' have worked together since 'Royal Rumble' on Los Benjamins. Could more collaborations be coming from Daddy and Don? We know fans are excited but what would los lideres, Wisin y Yandel, have to say about this?  Could there be a new Reggaeton superstar team looking to claim Wisin y Yandel's throne?

Que creen ustedes?!  Weigh in below!

Don Omar is no stranger to drama (as his marriage to Jackie Guerrido will attest), pero su más reciente canción, "Sexy Robotica," is stirring up international controversy thanks to some questionable lyrics.

Colombian artistas como Fonseca, as well as political leaders and fans, aren't thrilled about the reference to Latino drug use found on "Sexy Robotica," in which he alludes to cocaine en conexión con el país, considering the stigma los colombianos have had to struggle with for decades.

El Don responded to la controversia with a press release stating:

Nunca le he faltado el respeto a ningún colombiano. Faltarle el respeto a los sucesos que ha vivido un pueblo y querer callarlos no se llama progreso, se llama ‘Vergüenza’ de los mismos. Mis respetos a todos los colombianos en el mundo que disfrutan de mi música, de su país, que vivieron su pasado y que trabajan duro para que el futuro sea distinto….pero en libertad, no en hipocresía.

Do you think the lyrics to "Sexy Robotica" are offensive? [Latin Gossip]

The acting bug has definitely bitten Don Omar since his debut performance in "The Fast and the Furious."

The reggaetonero is roaring his engines once again for the New York International Latino Film Festival 2009 premiere of "Los Bandoleros." The short film directed by Justin Lin and Vin Diesel showcases Don Omar as Diego Santos, a gangster that carefully plans his escape from the ghetto. He may play an expert bandolero, but his character has a Peter Pan-type theory to causing crime.

Don Omar recently spoke about his role in the movie:

Los Bandoleros es la historia de un joven mitad boricua, mitad dominicano en busca de hacer mejoría para su barrio muy pobre en una mentalidad y un desarrollo muy urbano y creo que Bandoleros es ese momento o esa ideología que pudo haber tenido Peter Pan de quitarle a los ricos para darle de comer a los pobres.

Bueno, as long as he is helping others! The film is set to premiere on July 27th. For more information visit www.NYLatinoFilm.com. Are you ready to watch Don Omar race into theaters otra vez? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

Don Omar seems to have a thing for bionic women...

The reggaetonero is overcoming his amor for the "Virtual Diva" and moving on with his new single, "Sexy Robótica." The second single off of his album "I-Don" reflects the complete transformation of his mechanical world complete with techno beats and reggaeton verses. The video director Carlos Perez showcased Don's erotic underground world, which leaves no limits to your imaginations.

Don Omar spoke about the making of the video:

It's a new story. I believe we have given life to that place we wanted to re-encounter with "I-Don." We have created our own musical cave.

Watch the behind-the-scenes footage of "Sexy Robótica" here and let us know what you think!

I-Don is a true business man at heart...

The reggaetonero has signed-on to star in television and radio commercials for AT&T's new LG Neon Phone. The 30-second spot was shot and directed by Carlos Perez during the King of King's video shoot for his latest single, "Sexy Robotica." The all-Spanish commercials are set to run until July 19th. Watch Don Omar in marketing acción and tell us if you are feeling the campaign. Better yet, does it make you want to cop a new phone? [Ad Week]

As if being the "King of Kings" in reggaeton wasn't enough...

I-Don proved his kingdom reaches far beyond the world of music when he was awarded with the "Inspire Award" by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation this week. The "Dale Con Dale" singer was recognized for his leadership as a positive role model for Latino youth in the U.S. in a ceremony he attended in Washington DC. On top of that, he will continue on as a spokesman for the foundation for the next year.

See what a great hair cut can do for you? It seems "El Rey" has cleaned up his act in more ways than one! [La Prensa]
