Dinos que piensas of our 2009 Hotshots. Did we forget anyone? Do you agree with our picks? 

Lady Gaga opens up on her self education, creative inspiration,  and present and forthcoming albums in the  January issue of Elle Magazine.

Why didn’t you want to finish your degree at NYU?

I loved NYU, but I thought I could teach myself about art better than the school could. I really felt New York was my teacher and that I needed to bite the bullet and go it alone. I wasn’t interested in going to frat parties and doing those sorts of collegiate things. I was really interested in the music scene and waitressing and cleaning toilets, or whatever the *%$^ it was I was doing.

What experiences did you draw from to create The Fame?

I write about what I know: sex, pornography, art, fame obsession, drugs, and alcohol. I mean, why would anyone care to listen to me if I wasn’t an expert in what I write about? And the album itself is the story of me and my friends, and, again, our lives in New York—and you either want to know about it and be a part of it or you don’t. I am completely 100 percent honest in what I do and who I am, and I’ve got nothing to hide.

What can we can expect from your next album?

Well, let’s just say that right now I’m quite obsessed with 1950s sci-fi monster movies.…

1950s sci-fi monster movies? Is someone having a bad romance with Ed Wood?  We thought Gaga couldn't get any more avantgarde, but apparently we were wrong! [Elle]

Hard to believe that Lady Gaga only burst on the pop scene el año pasado, considering how much of a cultural (and musical!) phenomenon she's become!

With her new album 'The Fame Monster' out esta semana, and as part of Spankin' New Music Week, the Gaga Monster has put together una lista de los mejores momentos in her career so far.  We think this pop diva has accomplished quite a lot hasta ahora, no creen?  [MTV Buzzworthy]

Is she missing anything?  What about her bloody VMA performance from este año?  Dinos, what do YOU think are the best moments in Lady Gaga's career so far?

Big week for music releases?  That's the understatement del siglo!

Esta semana will see the release of some of the most anticipated albums del año, including:

Wisin y Yandel - 'La Evolucion'

Los lideres are back with a double CD of remixes and new material from their 'La Revolucion' record.  We've already got a taste of what's on here, with "Imagínate" f/T-Pain, and you know the rest of it is going to be just as hot!

Shakira - 'She Wolf'

FINALLY!  El muy esperado disco de Shakira has finally hit the stores!  La cantante Colombiana "Did It Again" con este album, delivering one sexy hit (um... the title track, "Loba"?!) after another.

Lady Gaga - 'The Fame Monster'

Listen to the track "Alejandro" and you'll see that even the Gaga-monster has been bitten by the Latin bug!   No te la vas a poder sacar de la cabeza, we promise you!!  That is, as soon as you can get "Bad Romance" out of it!

Rihanna - 'Rated R'

With "Russian Roulette" blowing up the scene, we expect a repeat success for our favorite 'Good Girl Gone Bad.'

Also out this weekare Beyoncé's 'I AM… Deluxe Edition,' a re-release of her platinum-release 'I Am...Sasha Fierce,' and Britney Spears' 'The Singles: Deluxe Box Edition.'

Beyoncé and Lady Gaga are teaming up for the first time in a music video for the ultra-sexy "Video Phone."  Directed by Hype Williams, "Video Phone" features las cantantes in matching leotards (por supuesto!), as well as a 'Reservoir Dogs'-esque vibe in the opening sequence.  We can't wait to see the rest of it!

Watch a sneak peek of the video below, and stay tuned to MTV Tr3s para el video completo!

The list of nominees for the 2010 People's Choice Awards reads like a who's who of the music, film and TV charts, topped by multi-nominees Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift.

Lady Gaga's brand new video for "Bad Romance" was released today to tons of creeped-out and fascinated acclaim. The video features Gaga alternately dripping in diamonds, regal in barely there red lace, devilish in skintight white latex and even wearing a cape made from un oso polar?! And those crazy Alexander McQueen heels!  Ay, dios mio!! We're not sure whether she's in an insane asylum or not, but this video is just crazy eccentric, tal como la cantante! Directed by Francis Lawrence, "Bad Romance" has Video of the Year at the 2010 VMAs written all over it.

If you haven't seen it, take a peek into GaGa's world below!

Lady Gaga made music history this week when 'Paparazzi' hit el número uno on the mainstream radio charts. Her LP, The Fame, is the FIRST debut album to have four #1 radio singles! Along with 'Paparrazi,' her other #1 have been 'Just Dance,' 'LoveGame,' and 'Poker Face.' Felicidades Gaga!

Not only was Lady Gaga's new single "Bad Romance" available on iTunes starting Monday, but it also soared to the Top 20 after just a few hours of sales. Go, Go Gaga! Also available is a detailed tracklist for the 8 additional songs available on The Fame Monster, the re-release of Gaga's first album The Fame -- which features a new song, "Telephone," featuring Beyoncé!

Yes, Beyoncé and Gaga will be making more beautiful music together! Gaga was on-set last week when Beyoncé shot her latest video, "Video Phone," and now Beyoncé is featured on Gaga's new song, "Telephone."  We wonder what's with all the phone references?  Hopefully the duo will team up otra vez para el video de "Telephone" soon!

We picture leotards... lots and lots of leotards! [PerezHilton]

If you missed Los Premios MTV 2009 last night on MTV Tr3s and you're kicking yourself for it today, we really can't say we blame you... Between all the amazing multi-city performances from artists like Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Cobra Starship with Paulina Rubio, and Fall Out Boy, to name a few, it's really hard to pinpoint which one thrilled us the most. Even host Nelly Furtado got down and kicked off the night with her own performance. And say what you may about her co-host, Residente Calle 13, no se puede negar que el hombre es honesto!

The night was filled with all kinds of celebs, from runway supermodels like Alessandra Ambrosio, young pop heartthrobs like Pee Wee, living legends like Morrissey, to teen icons like Ashley Tisdale. We even got word of the possible spark of a romance between Wilmer Valderrama and Audrina Patridge (eso dicen our backstage spies, pero ya veremos). MTV Tr3s filled two of the Los Premios categories by awarding Aventura with Best MTV Tr3s Artist, and Da'Zoo as Best New MTV Tr3s Artist. But the biggest ganadores of the night were undoubtedly Wisin y Yandel, Panda, and the fashionably intriguing Lady Gaga, who all took home multiple "lenguas."

Wisin y Yandel won awards for "Vidéo del Año" and "Artista del Año"

Panda took home trés Premios for "Mejor Grupo o Dúo," "Mejor Artista Alternativo," and "Mejor Artista Norte"

Lady Gaga was awarded two "tongues" for "Mejor Artista Nuevo Internacional" and "Canción del Año"

Check out more photos of Los Premios MTV 2009 Onstage Highlights aquí, and click after the jump to see all of the night's big winners. You can tune in to MTV Tr3s on Saturday 10/17 at 2pm and 8pm to watch all the Los Premios mayhem go down again!

Felicidades a todos, it's well deserved!
