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]

It is no wonder why Dayana Mendoza won the Miss Universe crown...
The Venezuelan bombshell was one of the only classic beauties walking the red carpet at the Latin Billboards last night. Her look was all about keeping it simple and sexy in a black embroidered gown and deep plunge neckline. However, negro was not the main color of la noche. Most celebs opted for a splash of rainbow colors including bright violet, yellow, and pink. We must say there were more worst dressed victims than winners, but you decide for yourself...
Best Booty Pose
Gloria Trevi's lace sun-kissed gown vs. Paulina Rubio's very-mini violet dress and silver pumps.
Best Dressed Hombre
Don Omar and Daddy Yankee's crisp tuxes vs. Aventura's dressy casual steez.
Best Bright Belleza
Ivy Queen's satin sunrise strapless gown vs. Fanny Lu's bubblegum pink vestido.
Worst Dressed (a.k.a. Not Green With Envy)
Maria Fernanda Yepes' wannabe J.Lo's Grammy Versace dress vs. Elizabeth Perez's sofrito green gown.

Flex won big at last night's 2009 Latin Billboard Awards at the BankUnited Center in Miami!!!
He did tell us he was going to make history! The Panamanian star is used to spreading his romantic style, but it was time for fans to scream "Te Quiero" in return. Besides throwing down an electrifying performance complete with on-stage fireworks and a unisex dance crew, Flex also snatched the golden premios for categories including, "Hot Latin Song of the Year" and "Latin Album of the Year." Claro, he made his acceptance speeches as entertaining as his dance moves with his random "es que te quiero" bursts of melodies on stage.
Check below the hood for more news and pics on last night's big winners!

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.
Question is, why did GLAAD supporter Ivy Queen miss this year's festivities? [Los Angeles Times]

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]

However, the humble reggaetoneros considered their victorious win a sorpresa! The dynamic duo are pros at top-charting and earning awards, but the coveted Grammy award represents universal glory for the Boricuas. Even though the "Siguelo" singers couldn't walk la alfombra roja, they celebrated their win con gusto and are inspired to spark a new success with their upcoming album set to drop in May, "La Revolución."
W&Y caught-up with People en Español about their new moves in la música urbana:
Como dice el nombre, venimos como con una revolución en el mundo, con música bien innovadora.
The album is set to include collaborations with: 50 Cent, Ivy Queen, Enrique Iglesias, and Aventura. We have a feeling this revolution is going to be historical. No crees? [People en Español]

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]
