Something huge happened on Thursday evening: Univision’s Premios Juventud was the number one trending topic worldwide! And if you don’t know what that means, perhaps it’s time to step up your social media game. It turns out that the 7th annual award show on the Spanish-language channel was the most watched program beating NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX for the third year in a row!

While there were spectacular performances like the duo between the Spanish stud Enrique Iglesias and Dominican living legend Juan Luis Guerra, and Shakira’s homage to the World Cup, we of course cared more about the fashion. So here’s a little recap on the celebs who captured our attention the most- from the best to the worst dressed.

BEST DRESSED

I hear not everyone agrees, but I loved former Miss Universe Amelia Vega's metallic look with the bright colors- perfect for a summer award show in Miami! Do we love the hair? Of course! She pulled off the super high faux hawk with a classic taste. And the lips? This CoverGirl knows what she's doing!

Another cutout dress. Former RBD star Anahi with a frock by Gustavo Mata. Not sure whether I love it or hate it, but she definitely looks gorgeous in it while rocking two trends at once: laces and cutouts. What do you think? Hit or Miss?

Shakira on the blue carpet donning Robert Cavalli. The strapless dress shined with gold and metallic embroidery giving her a simple yet elegant look.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Niurka. I don't even know where to begin with her. Is it the nails, the top, skirt or the hair that I hate the most? Worst of all? This is the outfit she chose to walk down the blue carpet with her preteen son...

Ivy Queen. For sure she was trying to channel Lady Gaga onstage, but it didn't quite work out, did it? However, I am so happy to see that she got rid of those awful long nails. Good for you Ivy- it was about time!

As much as I hate to say this, Belinda's look didn't do it for me. Perhaps I'm being biased because of her new bad-girl attitude and choice to go super thin. She got the bronze down, but isn't pulling the whole look off.

We would love to hear your thoughts? Do you agree or disagree? Let us know your thoughts?! – Mercedes

As if the rehab, her lesbian love affair and the countless “crotch” pictures weren’t enough. Lindsay Lohan now has a new item to add to her list of drama. The young actress has been sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating her probation.

Lindsay’s sob stories about how she couldn’t make it to rehab because of her busy schedule and how she signed in to the clinic but just on the incorrect form are not flying with her judge  Marsha Revel.  Even her own lawyers (that’s right lawyers with an S) are not putting up with Lindsay’s excuses.  Shawn Chapman Holley quit her case and Stuart V. Goldberg was fired because Lindsay couldn’t “afford” his services.  The newest lawyer on the case? None other than Robert Shapiro, who was part of the team that successfully repped O.J. Simpson. Lindsay needs all the help she can get right now, so maybe hiring a lawyer who can get a possible killer off the hook is the best idea she’s had yet.

But through all the trials and tribulations of Lindsay’s crazy lifestyle, does anyone ever wonder about her little sister Ali? I can surely state that Lindsay certainly doesn’t take the Best Sister of the Year Award. Sniffing coke and popping pills are just not something a little sister should be exposed to.  It’s unbelievable how the sweet freckled face girl who starred in The Parent Trap turned into the wreck we call Lindsay Lohan today.

She’s not the only child star to shock the public. Miley Cyrus’ latest album Can’t Be Tamed shows a newer side of the pop star.  A side that likes to wear provocative clothing and slide down poles.  Bye bye Hannah Montana. And who can forget the most infamous child star turned lunatic, Britney Spears?

With portrayals of womanhood like this in the media, what can the young girls of today look forward to? I certainly wouldn’t want any young girls I know looking at Lindsay Lohan for direction. After all, what girl dreams of becoming a jailbird addict in and out of rehab?

Last night’s MTV Movie Awards was one to remember. From its undeniably great red carpet fashion to surprising performances from faces that have been a little M.I.A. lately. From T.I.’s first television appearance since prison, to J.Lo’s dance-off with Tom Cruise as Les Grossman, the MTV Movie Awards was filled with great people and an amazing vibe. Of course, it wouldn’t be a party without the Jersey Shore cast and the on going Team Jacob/Team Edward rivalry. The MTV Movie Awards was full of many winners and would have never topped any other if it wasn’t for host Aziz Ansari’s funny personality, the amount of love spread throughout the night and the number of jaw dropping F-Bombs!

MTV’s own personal “Kiss Cam” owned the night: Whether it was guy on girl, guy on guy, or girl on girl, it was happening! From Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, Russel Brand and Jonah Hill’s insane PDA and even the beautiful Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson. We were definitely feeling the love at the awards last night and what other way to spread it than the heaping amounts of profanity! Was this the most “f–ks” on any MTV award show?!  It was humorous and extremely unexpected. Only MTV can pull off something like that.

Peter Facinelli from Twilight really impressed us. He delivered a phenomenal, may I say, and pardon my French, effing speech, making it the ultimate f-bomb drop off.

Speaking of Twilight, once again they have taken the night. Actors from the Twilight Saga even seem a little used to the award winning. What can we say? People of all ages love this werewolf, vampire, confused human love triangle.

The amazing ode to Sandra Bullock was one for the books! She is the FIRST FEMALE to receive the MTV Generation Award. Now we can see why I would be so excited about this: Hello, first FEMALE! She is a great representation for what women can do especially considering her circumstances with her divorce from Jesse James. She gave a wonderful acceptance speech, ending with a powerful stand on the animosity and foolishness the tabloids and paparazzi have exploited to the public.

Now, I don’t know what everyone else thought about Christina Aguilera’s performance, but this was a side of her personality I did not enjoy seeing. Her “bionic woman” act seem more like a Lady Gaga rip off and just a little too much. She showed us that she is still the “Dirrty” girl she was before with her sexual lyrics, just a little more classy with sparkle and shine. Not only did Xtina light up the stage with her crystal ensemble but she lit up her naughty bits with a flashing red heart. There is no doubt that Christina is an amazing singer and she has always pushed the envelope image wise, but was she being herself tonight? I mean she said it herself, “tonight I’m not the same girl.”

Looking for that album to bump in the car while the wind blows through your hair this summer? Well, if you haven’t heard the buzz about Drake’s new album dropping June 15^th, then you must be living under a rock. The Canadian rapper has received a lot of hype over his new album, but will it live up to expectations? The first single off the album, Over, has reached huge success. Drake has everyone singing “I’m doin me” along with him and loving it. But, truth be told, Drake really is “Doin him.”

After being signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money, his success has reached proportions no one could have ever imagined. In 2009, his track Best I Ever Had reached number two on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. His mixtape So Far Gone claimed the number six spot on U.S. Billboard 200 chart and earned  a 2010 Juno Award for Rap Recording of the Year.

Drake’s Away From Home Tour kicked off April 6^th of this year making stops at Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and at my own campus of Syracuse University. There is no doubt that his fans truly adore him, as I witnessed at his concert in Syracuse featuring K-OS and Francis & The Lights. The screaming fans at the sight of Drake just walking onto the stage truly proves that “Drakemania” has taken a toll on the music industry and is only going to get crazier when his album drops. The record features hit makers like T.I., Swizz Beatz, The Dream, Jay-Z and fellow Young Money members Nikki Minaj and Lil Wanye himself. 

Unfortunately for Drake, his album has just been recently leaked online. But he already has some definite fan favorites. Find Your Love’s catchy chorus and cinematic music video has become one of my personal favorites. As well as Fireworks featuring Alicia Keys, Unforgettable featuring Young Jeezy, and Light Up with the legendary Jay-Z.

As a fan of Drake myself, I am excited to hear the other tracks on his album. Hopefully the title of his album rings true and we can really have something to thank him for.

“I am deeply involved in every part of the movie. It’s the only way I know how to be involved.” – SJP

Thanks to Warner Brothers we virtually caught up with SJP and the rest of the ladies live online.

Neon yellow. Neon pink. Strapless, gold and sequins. These are some of the trends we noticed at the Sex and the City 2 movie premiere.

We really did get ‘carried’ away, with Sarah Jessica Parker’s bright yellow, one-shoulder dress and its gorgeous train from Valentino. Her lips were nude with a dash of pink. Kim Cattrall looked super chic in a gold gown while Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis rocked tube top frocks.

Does Sarah Jessica Parker think SATC impacted women’s lives globally?

“Sometimes I think when I’m walking in the city, or driving in the city, when I see a group of four women walking or a table of women at a restaurant- I’ve seen this scenario more and it would be great if we had something to do with that in the most miniscule way,” says SJP who is not only one of the stars but also an executive producer. “I am deeply, deeply involved in every single part of it from putting it together, marketing, negotiating contracts- literally everything. It’s stuff I’ve been doing for so long; it’s the only way I know how to be involved.”

Wondering how long it took the crew and producers to coordinate the wardrobe? Sarah Jessica Parker says she started planning the wardrobe for the entire movie on June of 2009! It’s a long process that begins months ahead. While Carrie is an avid shopper, SJP admits she isn’t one. “In many ways, I’m the same I’ve always been. I’m not a big shopper, and I still have the same things I’ve had since I left high school.”

Kim Cattrall strongly believes that the series has forever changed the way women face and discuss certain topics. “[This] is really fantastic. It’s extreme! You can’t imagine from the beginning 14 years ago to tonight- it’s just thrilling to be a part of it,” says Cattrall who plays Samantha. “I think there’s a voice now for women that didn’t exist before. I think it’s a voice that’s reflecting the challenges specifically of being a woman today, and I hope we do it with humor and intelligence. This show celebrates women, but I think it also celebrates life.” -Mercedes
