El reggaetonero made one lady fan's dreams come true this week, but it's not any kind of fan you would expect. Tito "El Bambino" reportedly met super-fan Luz Prats, una señora de 90 años(!), who dreamed of meeting el cantante and having him sing "El Amor" to her.
Talk about a Valentine's Day treat!! La señora, who called Tito her idol, had this to say about her favorite song:
“...esa canción es donde se dice lo que es el amor, cómo llega el amor. La escuché por primera vez en la radio cuando iba para Isabela.”
Tito "El Bambino" assures that his lyrics, though primarily aimed at los jovenes, "son para todo tipo de público."
El cantante también anunció que se encuentra solterito y sin compromisos, and despite any rumors, he will not be dating anyone from the artistic world anytime soon. He also confirmed that he will be performing at the annual Viña del Mar International Song Festival en Chile este 25 de febrero.
We love that he paid his super-fan a visit and serenaded her! Que tierno, verdad? [Ritmo Urbano]

Last night, the White House became La Casa Blanca y nuestro Presidente brought out even more of his Latino side than he has already... At least that was the running joke from George Lopez, Eva Longoria Parker, and Jimmy Smits that started off the "Fiesta Latina" showcase last night.
The event not only hosted amazing Latino figures (including the first Hispanic to sit on the Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor), it was really a celebration of our culture y nuestra música. Obama spoke about the global appeal of our ritmo Latino, and how all cultures can tune into it. Some of those bringing down the house were Gloria Estefan, José Feliciano, and Los Premios nominees for Best MTV Tr3s Artist, Aventura, among others. But our favorite performance came from Thalía who asked President Obama to dance with her and called him "Machooo!" Love it! Watch the clip of Obama dancing with Thalía here!
The grand finale had all the celebs on stage together, dancing to Gloria Estefan's "Mi Tierra." A perfect end to an amazing night. Stay tuned to MTV News for exclusive coverage.
