Julieta Venegas sure does have her hands full lately...

Between jugging two Latin Grammy awards for a "Best Alternative Music" and "Best Long Form Music Video" for her "MTV Unplugged" acoustic album and flexing her vocals in a world tour, Julieta has proven to be la reina of multi-tasking. MTV News caught up with the super cute Latin alternative princess after the Latin Grammys to ask her how she planned on celebrating it all. Like a true mexicana she said:

I don't know, I guess with Tequila!

Que viva la fiesta! Celebrate with Julieta in this uncensored clip right below:

From Julieta Venegas to Juanes and Café Tacuba, we’ve already filled you in on all of last week’s Latin Grammy ganadores. Pero, what about the rest of the show?

One major Latin Grammy show highlight -- John Legend performing un dueto en español with 5-time winner Juanes! Juanes opened the show with a medley of his canciones más populares before bringing the R&B legend (no pun intended!) onstage to perform a Spanish version of his song "If You're Out There." The mega-talented (and conscientious) artistas had recently collaborated on la versión en español, "Si Tú Estás Ahí."

Y bueno, what was it like working con el superestrella colombiano? According to John Legend's official blog:

[Juanes] is a really genuine person and a great talent (and a great Spanish tutor too!). I'm so honored to share the stage with him. Just so you know, I studied Spanish in high school for 4 years and took another semester at UPenn, but I haven't had much practice recently. But Juanes says my pronunciation is near perfect in the song. So all my Spanish-speaking fans can be the judge if he was just saying that!

Tu que crées? Was John Legend’s español up to speed?

Los hombres better step to the side because música ranchera has been craving a woman’s touch...

La Diva de la Banda” has earned her #1 glory with her self-titled album, and now she is hoping to walk away with the Latin Grammy for "Best Ranchero Award." Popular male singers like Pepe Aguilar and Vicente Fernández have always received props for their musical talent, but Jenni has stepped in and shown that women are just as capable of gracefully mastering your traditional corrido.

We spoke exclusively to Jenni Rivera about her thoughts as the only mujer nominated in the musical category:

It has been male dominant forever. It was the males that were on top, you know it wasn't the female that sang banda that was very daring. I wanted to demonstrate that females can do it. And now there is hope and opportunity.

Jenni may be all about the ladies, but she is willing to extend rightful props to legendary group Los Tigres Del Norte. The norteño-band will have "La Buena Suerte" to rock the stage along with Jorge Celedon, Fonseca, El Mariachi Vargas, Café Tacuba, Flex, Belinda, Juanes, Julieta Venegas and so much more. For a complete list of performances and presenters be sure to check out The 2008 Latin Grammy website.

While you are marking the date on your calendar, be sure to include checking Jenni Rivera on MTV Tr3s. We will be featuring la diva as our Artist of the Week starting November 3rd. Keep it locked for more exclusive news pronto!

There is no "Error" in this message! Ximena Sariñana is flexin' her poetically breezy "Mediocre" vocals by performing for the MTV Latin America Los Premios Awards on October 16th!

The Latin Grammy-nominated estrella is also up for four Los Premios nominations for "Best Pop Artist," "Best Artist: North," "Breakthrough Artist," and "Best Solo Artist."
