La Primera Dama Michelle Obama joined the U.S. Soccer Foundation, The National Alliance for Hispanic Health, Adidas and others last Friday in Washington, D.C. as part of her Let's Move campaign encouraging kids to get at least 60 minutes of exercise per day.  About 60 children who participated were able to experience a once in a lifetime experience: playing fútbol with Michelle Obama!  The first lady also spoke about physical activity and proper dieting.

Last week's event also showcased soccer as a fun way to encourage kids to stay active and among those who helped with the exercises was former U.S. National Team member Eddie Pope and Jaime Moreno from DC United.

Can't get enough del fútbol?  No te preocupes, we've got lots more in the works with our upcoming celebrity soccer tournament, Rock N Gol.  Stay tuned para más detalles!!  And in the meantime... if you're in MIAMI and have the soccer bug, make sure to show up for the Rock N Gol Team T-Mobile tryouts THIS SATURDAY at Downtown Soccer, from 1pm - 3pm.

Nelly Furtado has partnered with MTV Tr3s and Let's Move! to help end the childhood obesity epidemic within this generation. Nelly has created a Public Service Announcement to highlight the cause. The goal of this campaign is to help Americans unite and support parents who request healthier food be provided in schools, encourage kids to become more physically active, and make healthy, affordable food available nationwide.

A press conference was held in Washington, D.C. today by Michelle Obama to endorse the campaign. Former NFL player and NBC Football analyst, Tiki Barber, was Master of Ceremonies at the event and encouraged all kids to get out and play. New York Yankee Curtis Granderson was also on hand to represent Major League Baseball and help support Let's Move!

Please take a look at this very important message from Nelly Furtado below. Recuerda, you have a choice; so make it a healthy one!

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama came out last Wednesday to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at the CHCI 32nd Annual Awards Gala in Washington DC, an annual kickoff event that recognizes the achievements of Latinos en nuestro país.  Over 2,000 guests joined President Obama in celebrating Latino culture, including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, John Leguizamo and Miss Puerto Rico to name a few.  El orgullo Latino was certainly soaring high!

President Obama's speech highlighted the success of some of today's most prominent Latinos (including Marc Anthony who won this year's CHCI Lifetime Achievement Award), and also touched upon his plan to help solve the school dropout crisis (sadly, Latinos have the highest dropout rate in the country), and pressing social issues like the economy, health care reform, and immigration. He gave a special shout out to Justice Sotomayor and said his proudest moment as President was when she became elected as the Supreme Court Justice of the United States!

Politics are no fun without some risas, so President Obama made sure to throw in a joke after New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez gushed about Marc Anthony.  El Presidente declared that Nydia must have a crush on Marc, and warned JLo to watch out porque apparently, she's not the only one who's got her eye on the legendary salsero.  Cuidado with your man, JLo!  Listen to Obama's chiste below!

"Queen of All Media" Perez Hilton is known for making some very risky fashion choices, so we were not surprised to see him in this month's People en Español "Los Mejor y Peor Vestidos" issue.  Lo que sí nos sorprende is seeing this post on his blog in which he states "Perezito has been chosen for the "Best Dressed" issue of the new People en Español."  Umm... does he need a better translator or does nuestro favorito chismoso cubano really expect us to believe que no entiende español?

Come on Perezito, de verdad crees que uno de estos crazy get-ups deserves the title of "Mejor Vestido"?  In fact, People en Español says el bloguero "tiene probablemente el gusto más cuestionable de la historia."  Not much of a compliment in our book!

So who did make the best-dressed list?  Topping la lista está la muy elegante primera dama, Michelle Obama, followed by Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria Parker y Thalía.  Tu sabes, some ladies with real style!

So, who do you think has el mejor estilo?  [People en Español; Perez Hilton]

There is no doubt that Michelle Obama has the fashionista swagger that leaves everyone wondering what she will wear next.

We especially kept our eyes peeled on what she would rock on inauguration day! Our First Lady shined in a dazzling vintage-inspired yellow gown designed by Cuban-American designer, Isabel Toledo. Unlike most mainstream designers, Isabel is considered a newbie in the designer world. With only a couple of years in the fashion business she has already gained a reputation for recreating a modern avant garde look.

Redefining the meaning of traditional first lady attire, Mrs. Obama definitely picks her designers wisely and has worked with Isabel during Election season. Besides Toledo's designs, Michelle Obama has also picked evening wear designed by runway renegades, Narciso Rodriguez, Zero + Maria Cornejo, and Maria Pinto.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is keeping details of Beyonce's performance top secret...

The 'Sasha Fierce' diva is set to sing for Barack and Michelle Obama's primer dance on Tuesday evening. The committee's spokeswoman, Linda Douglass may be keeping her canción selection under-wraps, but we are on a mission to guess which hit Beyonce is most likely to perform.

We can definitely rule out her club-shakin' hits, including her latest sultry anthem, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." No doubt, we can picture Michelle getting down to it, but we can't forget about the President! We listed some tracks that might hit the mic...

1. "Crazy In Love": The summer jam is universal enough to hype-up todo el mundo. If this song selection flies, hopefully B skips on the hot-shorts and bra less tank-tops. That would be too much loco love to handle.

2. "That's Why You're Beautiful": Will she test out this new single on the crowd? It works as a poetic testament of amor. Bueno, at least between her and Jay-Z. Unless, Michelle sings along and dedicates it to Obama. Hmmm...we think there's potential in this one.

3. "At Last": The Etta James original classic would fit perfectly with the historic event. At last mi gente!

What canción do you think Beyonce should sing at the inauguration?

Don't forget to join the "Be The Change" inaugural celebration. Watch MTV Tr3s live on Tuesday, January 20th at 10 PM.
