This is no sorpresa to us...
Dulce María was asked to star as the Aphrodite figure in Akon featuring Colby O'Donis' new video, "Beautiful." The ex-RBD member dropped Spanish verses on the track and filmed the video alongside the hitmaker in Mexico yesterday. Adding to the "Verano de Amor" marathon, Dulce is set to perform the remixed version of the canción for the Los 40 Principales radio tour on April 1st.
The redheaded chica recently spoke to La Opinión about working with Akon on set:
Estoy feliz, porque Akon es un artista grandísimo, importantísimo en Estados Unidos y muchas partes del mundo. Trabajar juntos es una oportunidad única.
Looks like the estrella is the apple of his eye...

Colby O'Donis may have walked the red carpet empty handed...
But the "Don't Turn Back" singer has the mentality of a winner. Despite the 19-year-old losing the "Best Dance Recording" nomination alongside Lady Gaga for the latest club anthem, "Just Dance," Colby is already paving the way for ultimate Grammy success next year. The "What You Got" singer ended-up losing the golden goods to Daft Punk for "Harder Better Faster Stronger," but spoke to Sway about making moves with Akon on tour and more.

Was fashion Missing In Action at this year's Grammy Awards?
Who knew a little imagination and poke-a-dot patches would be the talk of la noche? Pero, M.I.A wasn't the only fashion victim at the Grammy Awards last night.

It is no secret that Colby O’Donis has got his pimp game on tight!
We caught the "What You Got" singer chillin' with amiga Dania Ramirez at the MTV Tr3s VMA Pre-Party last week. Our chisme radar was on full-blast when we approached Colby about pimpin' the ladies after his rockin' performance.
The City boy admits some of the tricks behind his game:

When it comes to giving special attention to his female fans Colby says:

Forget waiting until Friday to get the fin de semana started!
We're celebrating the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latino style (pass the piñatas, güey) by throwing a pre-game fiesta tonight at Los Angeles' Level 3 club. Did we mention that Calle 13 and Colby O'Donis are performing, only to be joined by a slew of hot latin celebs on the red carpet?
Calle 13 will treat party goers to songs from their new album "Los de Atras Vienen Conmigo," as well as classic cuts like "Atrévete Te, Te!" and "Pal Norte." This is the FIRST time that fans will hear new Calle tunes; fans of the Puerto Rican duo have been chomping at the bit for new developments since Calle 13 took over the Latin Grammys in 2006 with awards for their self-titled debut album.
Colby (and a special guest) will be his smooth self at the show, performing a fifteen minute set including "What You Got" in Spanish and "So Sick of Love" unplugged.
We're chillin' stageside at Level 3 right now for Calle 13's rehearsal. There's no sign of Residente or Colby yet, but Visitante strolled in ready for la parranda while rockin' a Christopher Walken tee-shirt. His sister also came ready for the mayhem by wearing a red clown nose while kicking back with the band.
We can spoon feed you all the details, but we'd rather you see it for yourself. Stay tuned for more chisme from rehearsals, and then watch FULL VIDEO COVERAGE OF CALLE 13 and COLBY O' DONIS' performances from the Tr3s VMA Pre-Party tomorrow, September 5th in the following places:
MTV VMA 2008 Site

There is no doubt that Colby O'Donis' lyrical pimpin' skills and suave moves have been on full-blast since we last spoke to him in an exclusive interview back in April. Besides getting ready to drop his self-titled debut album on Sept. 16th, the Queens native has managed to skip rookie status by snagging two VMA nominee votes in the categories for "Best New Artist" and "Best Dancing In A Video." In celebration of his noms, Colby will be performing live at the MTV Tr3s VMA party on September 4th!
The fly boy was kind enough to tease his fans during this week's Mi TRL with an electrifying performance of "Don't Turn Back" that is sure to you drooling in your seat. We had a chance to chat exclusively with the fly boy while he cooled off and ate a slice of his favorite pizza...courtesy of Carlos. Be sure to read the entire interview and find out what band he might be collaborating with right below the jump!
