Is it me, or does it seem that lately Miley Cyrus has become a hot commodity? Well one thing is for sure, it definitely is not me and if you don’t believe me just ask rapper Big Sean.
Ever since the dramatic hair make-over, Cyrus has been everywhere from gossip columns to the cover of magazines and now the 20-year-old singer is the eye-candy for Big Sean’s new video for “Fire.†Read More

Back in January 13th of 2008, I began the first ever Spanish movie review radio segment with Luis Jimenez, one of the premiere morning personalities in radio, regardless of language. It’s been 5 years and we’re still kicking it strong better than ever. The segment airs every Friday on his morning program “The Luis Jimenez Show” which airs on the top rated – X 96.3FM – on Univision Radio. I review (in Spanglish for the most part) the latest theatrical releases along with the new DVD/Blurays and what’s On Demand at home. Read More

Update: Nicholas Sparks has just added a new city and date for the book signing of his newest literary release, “The Longest Ride”. It’ll be on September 30th in Miami, FL, at Books & Books.

The American novelist, screenwriter and producer has put out so many hits that he’s now decided to go… español. Spanish readers are about to get a jolt of what it feels like to read a new book of his in Spanish during its premiere release. Read More

So let’s get straight to the point… just how did Selena Gomez manage to beat one of the greatest acts in hip-hop and for that matter in music? If you haven’t heard, this week Selena Gomez  bumped Jay-Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grailâ€Â off the top spot on the Billboard 200 outselling H.O.V.A  97,000 copies to 77,000 copies respectively. And just like that defeats hip-hop’s 5-week reign and makes pop music the king. Let’s just call it a combination of extremely faithful fans and smart marketing.
Here’s how it was done: Read More

Let’s go back to 2005 when “You’re Beautiful” came out in the United States. Yes that extremely depressing song and video about a love that will never be that received three Grammy nominations, won two MTV VMAs, reached No. 1 in U.S. charts and in 9 other countries, and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. Yes, that one by British singer James Blunt from his first album “Back to Bedlam.” Read More
