Who wants to be Paris Hilton's bestie when you have Dulce María to hang with?

The "Verano de Amor" star recently spoke about how much she values friendship in her life. Besides becoming close duet friends with Akon for the bilingual remix of the hit song "Beautiful," Dulce has also been romantically linked to her telenovela co-star (and mighty hunk!) Pablo Lyle. She may be pulling a Maite when it comes to denying the relationship, but she is willing to talk about her love for besties.

The star reveals the special ingredients needed to be her special BFF:

Respeto, admiración, confianza y mucha paciencia, a mi me tienen que tener mucha paciencia, porque soy un poco rara, sobre todo estar ahí siempre.

Maite has been romantically connected to more than one on-screen hunk (William Levy in particular).

Now the former-RBD star is hooking up with Reik for a telenovela duet. The foursome will collaborate for the theme song of the upcoming telenovela, "Mi Pecado." Besides showing off her vocal skills, Maite is also set to star as the lead protagonist in the series executive produced by Juan Osorio Ortiz. The group recently spoke about what it was like to work with the very popular actriz:

[It's] a dream for any mexican artist and even more having such a talented and lovely girl to work with... my hands are sweating.

Yeah, Maite tends to create that reaction amongst los hombres! This intro is definitely going to be sinful. [Grupo-RBD.com]

Last week we reported on William Levy's public divorce from Elizabeth Gutiérrez...

Of course, everyone has had their eyes on Maite. We have all wondered whether the infidelity rumors were true all along, but both of them have kept their lips sealed about the issue. Although the “Cuidado con el ángel” co-stars have denied the romance rumor, the ex-RBD estrella does reveal that she is open to offering the Cuban actor "emotional support."

Any woman in her right mind would be begging to be William Levy's rebound! Is Maite really any different? [Es Mas]

What would telenovelas be without the passionate besos that fire up our noches?

According to reports, soap opera producers are cutting down the amount of romantic tongue twisting (pun intended) scenes due to the recent swine flu outbreak. The creative decision was made after The World Health Organization raised the epidemic level from 4 to a-very-scary-level 5, which means that everyone should keep their saliva to themselves! Producers from several networks assure that the no beso rule should be temporary.

Let's hope so! No besos in telenovelas is like no reggaeton in the club! It just can't be...it just can't be. In the meantime, get your fix by watching Marichuy and Juan Miguel making out in this short clip. Kisses! [People en Español]

Say goodbye to our sweet Marichuy...

Now that filming for “Cuidado con el ángel” is underwraps, Maite is inking a new sinful telenovela deal for producer Juan Osorio's new series, "Mi pecado." The brunette actress has been hunting for a rebelde role since agreeing to participate in the dramatic montage of real life stories, "Mujeres asesinas," but unfortunately she was forced to dropped out due to time constraints.

Maite explains:

Lamento que lo de Mujeres asesinas no se dé por falta de tiempo, porque es un proyecto que me ilusionó mucho. Sin embargo, por algo pasan las cosas y voy a dar el 100% en esta producción de Juan Osorio.

We wonder if she will miss her 'co-worker' William Levy at all. We are sure he rather see Maite play the niña buena role, but are you pro good girl or evil villain? [Es Mas]

Sorry Anahí! This Habanero has found another leading lady...

Although la rubia auditioned for the role as William Levy's love interest in the new telenovela, Sortilegio, the role has been offered to brunette Barbie, Jacqueline Bracamontes. La Mexicana is known for her niña buena roles in the telenovelas "Rubí" and "Las tontas no van al cielo." Legendary producer, Carla Estrada confirmed the news yesterday and revealed that filming will begin as early as next week.

They almost look as cute as Marichuy and Juan Miguel. Do you think the romance rumors between Maite and William will finally die now that he has a new leading lady? [Es Mas]

Who could pass-up a lyrical explanation from Marichuy Maite?

The ex-Rebelde just wrapped the ever-so-popular “Cuidado con el ángel", but she remains 100% faithful to her love for RBD. The group recently dropped their unedited album and single titled, "Para Olvidarte de Mi," but B-list fans may just get the boot because only 40,000 official copies were released. Maite recently revealed that el grupo is as unforgettable as the fanáticos on their main website:

The song Para Olvidarte de Mi describes this feeling: To forget about me, for me to forget about you, it’s not possible, with so many things lived, with so many experiences, we would have to re-birth, it would be very difficult to erase something so important in our lives. At least to me that is the base of everything.

Forget empezando desde cero! RBD plans on prolonging their goodbye by working on a farewell documentary produced by Pedro Damian. Will this bittersweet adios ever end?

Who deserves a warm birthday shout-out more than Maite Perroni?

The bella brunette is celebrating her 26th cumpleaños today! We have been missing the ex-Rebelde since the emotional finale of "Cuidado con el ángel," but she won't be staying M.I.A for too long. RBD is (temporarily) back from their break-up and in a promotional high for their latest unedited album, "Para Olvidarte de Mí." Wondering what would be her greatest birthday regalo? Winning the upcoming Premios TV y Novelas award for "Best Young Actress."

We are sure a little besito on the cheek from William Levy wouldn't hurt either. Felicidades! [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]

We recently reported on Anahí's audition for the latest telenovela, "Tú o nadie"...

But it turns out this isn't your average role. The Rebelde just may end up sharing the script with “Cuidado con el ángel” leading man, William Levy. It is no surprise that the "Latino Brad Pitt" has been getting telenovela offers left and right, but it is uncertain whether la rubia has officially landed the role yet. Despite the uncertainty, Anahí revealed that she is confident that this will be the next step in her career.

Will William share the same chemistry with Anahí that he owns with Maite? You decide! [Pop Chismes]
