Entrevistada durante el programa de televisión Muévete, donde interpretó el tema Pruébamelo, Trevi dedicó la canción a todas las jovencitas y dijo: “Si, ahora vamos a cambiar los papeles, ¡mujeres, a partir de este momento seremos nosotras las que pidamos la prueba de amor”, agregó mientras alzaba las manos y reía. “*

Gloria Trevi ya salió definitivamente del pozo que la tenía hundida moralmente.Ahora es más feliz y exitosa que nunca. “*

Todos me Miran es para Gloria Trevi ya un clásico moderno, “yo me identifico mucho con esa canción, porque así es como me sentía después que volví, porque la gente no sabía cómo mirarme. Y esta canción me ayudó mucho a levantar mi cara y en mi carrera fue un hit, se convirtió en un éxito de fiestas, de antros, justo en un momento en que mi música estaba vetada de algunas estaciones de radio”. “*

Unlike stars Edith González and Érika Buenfil –who recently disclosed the identities of their children’s fathers– Gloria Trevi refuses to follow the tell-all trend, and says she will only reveal the truth to her six-year-old son, Ángel Gabriel, when he inquires.”*

Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading music company, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Univision Music Group following the recent clearance of the deal in the U.S. by the Federal Trade Commission.

“I am truly grateful to Zach for this exciting opportunity,” commented Mr. Lopez. “It is a privilege to continue working so closely with him and the entire Latin music team as we build this new company, complete with such a rich history and one of the most dynamic groups of artists and executives in the business.”

In addition, it was also announced today that Jose Behar, President of Univision Music Group, has departed the company.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to recognize all of the contributions that Jose has made to Univision over the years,” added Mr. Lopez. “We certainly wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.”

Mexican singer Gloria Trevi, who is in Puerto Rico promoting her new album, “Una rosa blu,” said that she will get married next year for the first time, despite the fact that she’s always been afraid of such a serious move.

The artist told Efe that she has always had “conflicting opinions” about matrimony because while her beloved great-grandparents were married until death separated them, the same thing didn’t happen for her parents, who divorced when she was 11. “*

Artistas legendarios y de nuevas generaciones ofrecieron hoy un único e histórico espectáculo en el coliseo José M. Agrelot de San Juan, que fue sede del concierto “Noche de Estrellas de Fidelity 2007″ en Puerto Rico.

“For those of you acquainted with Gloria Trevi’s discography, the first time you hear her new album Una rosa blu will be a bit of a shock. You won’t hear the same heart-wrenching Trevi lyrics that once confessed the woes of lonliness and disillusionment. “

“What: The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts dinner

Where: Residence of the Ambassador of Spain

When: Monday, October 1, 7:00 PM

Who: A prelude to the foundation’s Tuesday-night gala, the dinner party drew members of NHFA’s star-studded board of directors and advisory council as well as an assortment of friends and media types. Among the 50 guests were NHFA cofounders Esai Morales of NYPD Blue; Merel Julia, actress and wife of the late actor Raul Julia; and Jimmy Smits of The West Wing and the new series Cane. Actor Benito Martinez and Mexican pop-rock singer Gloria Trevi also made appearances, as did CBS News correspondent Rita Braver. The party’s hosts, Ambassador Carlos Westendorp of Spain and his wife, were conspicuous and accessible throughout the evening. “

“Gloria Trevi, í­dolo de las medias rotas, la rebelde que convirtió su “Pelo suelto” en un himno de la juventud latina en los 90, ha regresado cargada de su simpática adrenalina y risas con el disco “Una rosa blu”, que llegará a las tiendas el próximo 2 de octubre.

Los doce temas del nuevo trabajo discográfico son un viaje en el que Trevi recuerda sus experiencias, los rechazados, las mujeres ví­ctimas de ciudad Juárez y sobre todo la bÚsqueda del amor.”

“La también actriz regiomontana, quien en octubre lanzará su nuevo álbum Rosa blu, deleitó a los seguidores de la serie que en su Última emisión tendrá como invitados especiales a Paulina Rubio Juanes y el grupo Miranda!, informó un comunicado.

Pero como sólo dos estrellas podrán brillar en la gran final, fue Rosangela, la concursante que el pÚblico eligió para abandonar la competencia. “Sigues dejándolo todo sobre el escenario”, comentó el cantante John Secada, integrante del jurado, después de la actuación de la joven.”

“Aunque el domingo en “Aventurera’ la productora Carmen Salinas trató de que su actriz Marí Raquenel Portillo, mejor conocida como Mary Boquitas, hiciera “las pases” con Gloria Trevi, quien asistió como invitada especial, ésta la rechazó.

“La Trevi’ dijo que todaví no era momento para un acercamiento. Quizá por ello, Mary Boquitas huyó de la prensa tras la presentación en el Teatro Blanquita.

Sin embargo, la ahora actriz de “Muchachitas como TÚ’, quien debutará como cantante la próxima semana al salir a la venta su disco homónimo. “Respeto el lugar de trabajo, respeto mucho a Carmen, a la obra que te da de comer. Eso es lo que puedo decir.”

“The controversial Mexican singer Gloria Trevi finally shook the case that has followed her for almost seven years when she was awarded her complete freedom at the Seventh Penal Court of the city of Chihuahua, Mexico.”

“Univision Communications Inc. NYSE:UVN – Spectacle and surprises abounded Thursday night on the 19th edition of “Premio Lo Nuestro a La MÚsica Latina,” America’s most popular and most-watched Latin music awards show, broadcast live on the Univision Television Network.

The biggest winners of the night with three awards each were Norteño super group Intocable and popular Mexican rock group Maná, followed by international pop sensation RBD, Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón, Dominican bachata artists Monchy y Alexandra and Aventura, Regional Mexican artist Joan Sebastián, and Puerto Rican Reggaeton artists Wisin y Yandel who each took home two awards. Intocable received three awards in the Regional Mexican category including Best Group or Duo, Song of the Year for “Alguien te Va a Hacer Llorar” and Best Norteño Artist. Maná swept the Rock category winning top honors in all three awards for Album of the Year Amar es Combatir, Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year Labios Compartidos. Receiving one of the biggest ovations of approval from the audience was popular salsa star Marc Anthony as he was awarded Male Artist of the Year in the Tropical Music category.

The star studded show kicked off with a dazzling, fireworks-filled musical number featuring Mexican pop/rock diva Gloria Trevi singing “Todos Me Miran” that ended with her ascending skyward in an explosive, flaming finale. Later, in another visually stunning number, Colombian singer Fonseca sang his hit “Te Mando Flores” (I Send You Flowers) to a virtual field of fans waving over 10,000 real flowers specially flown in from his native country.

In what would be the first of many surprises of the night, Ranchero superstar Pepe Aguilar sang the classic hit “Todo Se Derrumbo” made famous by Mexican pop legend Emmanuel, who appeared in person onstage in a previously unannounced performance to thunderous applause from a clearly surprised audience.

One of the night’s more emotional moments was a video tribute to the career of Dominican singer/songwriter Juan Luis Guerra. Guerra then performed a medley of his greatest hits, after which he was presented the coveted “Premio a la Excelencia” award by two members of the Mexican super group Maná.

Another show highlight was Domincan bachata group Aventura performing for the first time ever with Mexican R&B singer Frankie J. Later, in the final surprise of the evening, the crowd was treated to a dramatic entrance by Reggaetón superstar Don Omar joining popular salsa artist Victor Manuelle in a duet combining both their respective musical genres.

The evening ended with the most hotly contested category of all, the highly anticipated Video of the Year, presented by motion picture star and best-selling recording artist Jennifer Lopez. This award, which crosses all musical genres and whose nominees include some of the biggest names in all of Latin music, ultimately went to Don Omar for “Angelito.”

“She was known as Mexico’s Madonna — a controversial songstress who began her reign as the countrys pop queen in 1989 with sex-laced lyrics that challenged social structure.

By most accounts, Gloria Trevi — known for groundbreaking songs like “Pelo Suelto “Loose Hair and “Zapatos Viejos “Old Shoes — was bound for international superstardom.”

“When Mexicos scandalous pop diva Gloria Trevi - once the country’s highest-paid performer and known as “Mexico’s Madonna” - left jail, she handed out fliers to promote herself.

The hard work is paying off: Two years later, Trevi has shot to worldwide superstardom.

Her comeback album, Como Nace el Universo, or How the Universe Was Born, went platinum in the United States and received a Latin Billboard Award nomination for best album. “

“Wild-haired Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi returned to the prison Monday where she was once held on rape and kidnapping charges and handed out toys and medicine to inmate mothers.

One of Latin Americas most successful female singers before she was imprisoned in 2000, Trevi set up the Anadalai Foundation last year to help incarcerated mothers and their children. She said the charity was inspired by the tough experiences she had raising a child behind bars herself.”
