Imagine your prima or hija ditching her Barbie doll for an Ivy Queen muñeca!

Bueno, the reality is that La Caballota is ready for play time! The “Dime” singer will launch a reggaetonera doll named “Queenie” that mimics her unique fashion sense and long finger nails (isn’t that a child hazard?). The doll, which is manufactured by Global Trading Partners, will be released by Christmas time. We all know Barbie has Ken to make out with…so are they going to hook Ivy up with a plastic reggaetonero? Let’s hope so! [People en Español]

Kathy Griffin wasn’t the only one feeling like a ‘gay Barbie’ during the 20th Annual GLAAD Awards on Saturday night.

Jessica Alba and countless of estrellas came out to represent the gay, lesbian, and transsexual community live at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The media awards celebrated the star power willing to fight for equal rights in the entertainment medium and awarded the domestic drama, “Desperate Housewives” and Sean Penn’s progressive biopic, “MILK,” among others. Latinos including the MTV “Pedro” movie leading lady, Justina Machado, and Broadway veteran, Wilson Cruz, also voiced a prideful message for the LGBT comunidad.

Pop champán! Ivy Queen is still celebrating her 2009 Premio Billboard nominations…

La Caballota has been rolling in feliz spirits since hearing about her triple category noms, including “Hot Latin Song of the Year” for “Dime.” Ms. Queen is standing-up against the ‘chacalosa’ reina, Jenni Rivera and our “MTV Unplugged” super estrella, Julieta Venegas. Regardless of who claims the throne, don’t expect a catfight to break out. Ivy Queen and las chicas radiate more girl power than the infamous Spice Girls.

We recently spoke to la Boricua about her award reactions:

Cada vez que nominan a uno a premios tan importantes como éstos, me llena de mucha alegría y satisfacción pues es la muestra de que nuestro trabajo logró su propósito.

Sounds like a winning attitude to us. Do you think Ivy has this one sealed? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

Music fans put your hands up because the list of Los Premios Billboard nominations are in…

Without a doubt, Enrique Iglesias conquered the top of la lista with ten total noms for “Hot Latin Song,” “Song of the Year,” and “Album of the Year” for “95/08” among others. The “Away” singer wasn’t the only one racking-up double digit nominations. Flex conquered the game with thirteen nominations, including “Hot Latin Song” for “Te Quiero” and “Top Latin Album of the Year.” Sorry haters, “Romantic Style” is here to stay!

Of course, our favorite talented damas also shined on the Billboard charts. Ivy Queen, Jenni Rivera, and Julieta Venegas all received the high honors of being nominated for the “Hot Latin Song of the Year.” Jenni and Julieta earned double props for “Top Latin Album of the Year” for “Julieta Venegas: MTV Unplugged” and “Jenni.” Sounds like this is going to be a tough call.

Best of all, RBD won a nomination for “Best Tour of the Year.” This only means that the group will rock the red carpet juntos again for one last time! Click here for a complete list of Los Premios Billboard nominees. Who do you think will walk away a winner? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]

Ivy Queen reveals the naked rated-R truth about her sleeping habits…

You just may want to cover your eyes for this one…or not. La Caballota enjoys stripping completely naked before hitting her sheets por la noche. During an interview with Univision, Ivy Queen admits that she feels the most bella at night and receives a peaceful sleep when she catches a late night siesta sin panties.

She states:

Yo duermo sin ropa, así como Dios me trajo al mundo y estoy en mi cuarto yo sola en tranquilidad.

Interesante. Ivy’s naked truth sounds straight out of Jenni Rivera’s “Culpable O Inocente” video where she wrestle in bed completely desnuda. Let’s pray that collaboration doesn’t come true. Verdad? [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

La Caballota is sharpening her claw nails and attacking rumors suggesting that she loves getting down with las mujeres…and no, we are not referring to fresh dance moves.

Since Ivy Queen remains very hush hush about personal life, several haters and fans alike have speculated la Boricua’s sexual orientation. The “Dime” reggaetonera may be a spokeswoman for the gay rights organization GLAD, but she assures that her preference son para los hombres. Ivy also reveals that many people aren’t aware that she was married for eleven years and has been seriously dating un chico for the past two years.

She explains that all of the dirty chismes inspired her to write her upcoming autobiography:

Por esa es la razón que yo quiero escribir este libro, porque la gente a veces se dejan llevar por lo que ven por fuera y no se sientan hablar contigo y conocerte, ¿me entiendes?

Question is, que importa who Ivy is feelin’?! Isn’t she entitled to keep her private life, well…private? [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

Ivy Queen isn’t just planning on conquering la escuela, but she is also working on becoming a best seller with her autobiography “Detrás del Glamour.”

La Caballota has come a long way from pretending to sign autographs as a little girl in Añasco, Puerto Rico, and her ‘tell all’ book is expected to unleash all of the struggle it took to be the first chart-topping mujer in reggaeton. Whether you declare the publication egotistical or inspirational, Ivy Queen is going to keep her pen in motion for her fans.

No publishing date has been released, but she spoke to us about her literally aspirations:

El libro que quiero hacer no es en cuestión de bochinche, quiero hacer un libro en cuestión de lo sacrificado que ha sido para mí estar en este trono, que obviamente la gente me ve bella hoy, pero que cuando yo empecé en esta música yo parecía un nene, y jangueaba con nenes, hasta el día de hoy estoy rodeada de hombres, pero quiero que sea más como un libro de motivación de acuerdo a las cosas que yo pasé.

Looks like Ivy is simplemente keeping it real. Question is, are you going to study her life lessons? [MTV TR3s Radio Noticias]
