One of the greatest nights in Latin music came alive with a spectacular three-stage opening performance featuring Chayanne, Thalía and Alejandro Fernández who sang some of their most recent hits as well as long time favorites.

Reggaeton king Daddy Yankee surprised everyone with one of the biggest productions of the night set against a virtual, futuristic backdrop that included a special lightning effect for the live, blowout premiere of his latest single “Descontrol.”

While bachata group Aventura mesmerized the audience as they flew through the arena on top of a bridge for their medley performance of “Su Veneno” and the live premiere of “Dile al Amor.”

Pop diva Paulina Rubio performed an exclusive remix of her most recent hit “Ni Rosas Ni Juguetes,” which was broadcast with a special black and white effect, only seen by viewers at home, resembling an old wild-west movie.

Additional performances included:  Héctor “El Torito” Acosta's “Sin Perdón” with Colombian duo Jorge Celedón and Jimmy Zambrano,  Paquita la Del Barrio sang “Rata de Dos Patas”;  Nelly Furtado’s crossover performance of “Manos al Aire,” pop artist Pee Wee’s performance of a special mix of his hit “Quédate”; Jenni Rivera’s performance of “Ya Lo Sé"; the live debut of Tito “El Bambino’s” new single “Te Pido Perdón”; Alejandro Fernández and Chayanne performed their respective hits “Se Me Va La Voz” and “Me Enamoré de Ti”; and a fantastic closing number by Puerto Rican merengue group Grupo Manía which brought the audience to its feet.

Belinda has been working on a new track, as she recently told her fans in a live chat.  Joining her on vocal duty is none other than current duet king, Pitbull.

First Jennifer Lopez, then Paulina Rubio... ahora Belinda?  Looks like Pitbull's piling up those duets with bellas Latinas, and we can't blame him.  Rumor has it he's also planning on recording a duet with the late great Celia Cruz using some new mixing technology. Is there anyone with who he wouldn't collaborate?

Either way, we can't wait to hear it!  [LatinGossip; Latina]

The countdown of lo mejor de la década pasada continúa... Tonight, we will be counting down los galanes más guapos de los 00s.  No te lo pierdas at 7pm EST to see if you agree with our picks for the hottest guys in the world of entertainment from the past decade!

Last night was all about the ladies in our Mamasotas countdown.  Missed the show?  Check out who made the cut here.  Cuéntanos -- do you agree with our picks for the hottest ladies of the 00s?

Some of our personal favorites?

1. Shakira

Talk about Latin invasion.  Shakira took the Latin music industry by storm during los 00s, pero la rubia colombiana also showed the world how to do the crossover game right!  With bilingual albums like Laundry Service (Servicio de Lavanderia) and Oral Fixation, Vol. 1, la Loba released hit after countless hit in English, y también en Español!

2. Jennifer Lopez

Before Shakira made the crossover game all her own, the bar was set by none other than Miss JLo.  Jenny from the Block started off the decade con mega-éxitos como "Waiting For Tonight" and "Love Don't Cost A Thing." Los 00s saw Jennifer Lopez through a series of high-profile romances, until she finally settled down and married award-winning salsero and fellow boricua darling, Marc Anthony.  But married life and motherhood aren't slowing JLo down - the Bronx-born diva will be releasing un nuevo album en 2010.

3. Thalía

La bella cantante Mexicana tried her hand at the crossover game too, pero saben, we prefer Thalía's "Amor A La Mexicana," están de acuerdo?  Not only did Thalía become an actual mamasota en los 00s when she gave birth to her daughter Sabrina Sakaë, but she also had a major comeback in 2006 with her hit "Ten Paciencia."

4. Belinda

No solo hizo su nombre en el mundo de la música con canciones como "Bella Traición," esta bella cantante also made quite a name for herself en el mundo del chisme!  With some hot telenovela roles and a collabo con cantante panameño Flex under her belt, Belinda definitely made her presence felt en los 00s!

5. Paulina Rubio

La chica dorada had quite a run en los 00s with various Spanish and English songs, including "Ni Una Sola Palabra" which helped put this former Timbiriche singer back on the map.  2009 saw an even bigger comeback for Paulina with the release of Gran City Pop and a red-hot performance with Cobra Starship at Los Premios MTV.

The list of mamasotas also included Fanny Lú, Anahí, Shaila Durcal, La Quinta Estación (Natalia Jiménez), Alejandra Guzmán, Gloria Trevi, Nelly Furtado, La La and Kat DeLuna, along with our own ReMexa host y cantante de duranguense, Jazmin Lopez.  Who are YOUR top 5??

Last night's Miss Colombia reinado is already causing a stir.  La nueva reina, Natalia Navarro, was crowned last night en Cartagena, en una ceremonia llena de mujeres bellas.  That list of bellezas included the lovely Paulina Rubio, who rocked the house by performing at the event.  (Interesting side note, Paulina fue la unica rubia at the whole shindig!)

Sadly, la ganadora, Natalia, is already under fire less than 24 hours after receiving la corona.

Apparently, some of la reina's critics are saying they dislike the way in which she expresses herself.  Natalia had referred to Colombia as un país donde la "gente es berraca."  She also called herself "cabezona" when she discovered the snug fit of her crown.  Come on!  Didn't these people watch 'Betty, La Fea' and every other Colombian telenovela from recent years?  We LOVE it that la nueva reina is comfortable talking like a real Colombiana!

If you thought Paulina Rubio's version of "Ni Rosas Ni Jugetes" with Cobra Starship at Los Premios was surprising, well, she's got even more in store for us con este segundo sencillo off her Gran City Pop album. She's already collaborated with club-hit-maker Pitbull for one mix, but this time around, Pau Pau teamed up with Mexican diva Jenni Rivera for a banda remix of the track!

These two super estrellas share a mutual respect for one another, and were definitely thrilled to work together. Even though they sing in different genres, Jenni pointed out the traits they have in common: "Nuestro carácter, nuestras influencias mexicanas, y nuestro orgullo de mujer."

La nueva versión of "Ni Rosas Ni Jugetes" hits radio airwaves in the U.S. and Puerto Rico today, so make sure to listen up for that! It will also be available for digital purchase on November 23rd.

More power to you ladies!

Aunque nunca falten los rumores that Paulina Rubio and her husband, Nicolás Vallejo-Nájera, are on the verge of a breakup, la chica dorada has assured that it is far from the truth. In fact, she's planning on becoming pregnant next year!

 

Even though the Latin pop diva will be 39 at the time, she is excited and looking forward to motherhood. Good for you Pau Pau!

Mucha suerte! [Facebook]
