Actress and singer Aracely Arámbula has announced that she’ll be soon coming back with a new grupero album. After starring Telemundo’s successful telenovela “La Patrona” this year, Arámbula is not planning to stop anytime soon. She revealed: "We are working on the album and you will soon know more details. Meanwhile, two songs I that I sing are played in “La Patrona”. The songs will be new and will belong to the grupero genre, which I like because I am from the north.”

Univision's "Premios Juventud" (Youth Awards) celebrated its tenth birthday tonight with a party in the hottest South Beach style--with sand, palm trees, sailboards, boats, campfires, a lighthouse, fireworks, and even an onstage swimming pool where superstars Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull took an unexpected dip. The most original and unconventional awards show on Spanish-language television presented awards in 27 unique categories within five areas: Music, Movies, Novelas, Sports, and Pop Culture; the biggest winner of the night was Prince Royce.

Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull jumpstarted the "Premios Juventud" beach bash performing a live medley of their blowout hits "On the Floor," "Dance Again," "Live It Up," and "Don't Stop the Party" in a truly unforgettable production featuring 46 dancers and aerial acrobats, drums, an impressive laser light show and nonstop rhythm. After a grand opening featuring Lopez inside a bird cage and Pitbull appearing on top of a silver jungle gym, the explosive duo had the audience on its feet jumping and cheering with their electrifying dance moves.

This vibrant opening number brought down the house and set the ultra-festive mood for the rest of the night, during which the lineup of stellar performances ran the gamut from sensual bachatas to Regional Mexican, salsa, electronic dance tunes, pop ballads and much more. Among the internationally famous Latin music recording artists who performed live on the "Premios Juventud" tonight were Chino y Nacho, DJ Chino featuring Fito Blanko and Papayo, El Dasa, J Alvarez, J Balvin, Larry Hernandez, Leslie Grace, Lucero, Marc Anthony, Marconi with Eiza Gonzalez, N'Klabe, Thalia, and Victor Manuelle ft. Gocho. Additionally, the show featured an inspiring segment with up-and-coming young artists Abraham Mateo, Becky G, and Kevin Ortiz, whose impressive musical talent bodes future stardom.

In a "Premios Juventud" exclusive, six Latin music stars performed the U.S.

television premieres of their newest singles. Ricky Martin drove the crowd wild with his signature sexy moves in the worldwide preview of his "Spanglish" version of "Come With Me" amid a state-of-the-art lights show; Prince Royce wooed the audience with "Darte un Beso" against a romantic Caribbean backdrop; Jencarlos Canela debuted "I Love It" in a festive pool party setting; Maite Perroni surprised viewers with the new bachata tune "Tu y Yo," giving an unexpected twist to her pop career; Pee Wee debuted the romantic ballad "Duele Decirte Adios"; and Yandel, part of the super popular reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel, made a rare appearance alone on "Premios Juventud" to close the show with his new solo single, "Hable de Ti," in a sensational number that began with him rappelling down to the stage from a giant light-filled Y.

During the three-hour telecast, an impressive number of celebrities from the world of Hispanic entertainment were on hand to present the awards. Prince Royce topped the list of winners, getting five awards in Music categories that range from Red Hot Artist and Catchiest Tune to My Favorite Video. He was followed by the late "Queen of Banda," Jenni Rivera, who received four awards, including My Regional Mexican Artist and My Ringtone. Among other winners were Bruno Mars and Jesse & Joy, with two statuettes each, plus Blanca Soto, Marconi, Mana, Shakira, Pitbull, and many others in a diverse range of categories. All winners were chosen by fans who voted online and on mobile via www.PremiosJuventud.com.

One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the "Premio Icono Mundial" (Icon Award) to Jennifer Lopez. The special award pays tribute to outstanding artists of Hispanic descent who have achieved global fame. This was only the second time that the award was given at "Premios Juventud"; the previous recipient was Marc Anthony. Lopez also took home a second award tonight for the Movies category, She Steals the Show.

For the first time ever this year, "Premios Juventud" fans voted for the 2013 Summer Song online and via Twitter, which will become the official theme of the Univision Network's summer on-air promotions. The winner was "I Love It" by Jencarlos Canela.

Prior to the awards ceremony, Univision celebrities Alejandra Espinoza, Rodner Figueroa and Carlos Calderon, joined by pop sensation and star of the hit telenovela "Amores Verdaderos," Eiza Gonzalez, covered the arrival of all the celebrity guests as they made their way towards the "Premios Juventud" show. This year's pre-show theme featured a festive strip of arcades, shops and restaurants along a colorful beach boardwalk where Angel & Khris performed their contagious summer feel single "My Corazon."

Lucero enjoys her new phase as a composer

1:53 PMUnknown

After finishing filming for last year’s "Por Ella Soy Eva", Lucero announced that she’ll temporarily stop acting in order to dedicate herself fully to her music career, and it seems that all is going according to her plans.

On Wednesday, the Mexican actress and singer shared with her fans via her twitter account that she participated in the composition of her new single "No pudiste amar así" (You couldn’t love this way): “Yes! I wrote my new song #NoPudisteAmarAsí with my super team! The authors are César Lemos, Karla Aponte, Ernesto Fernández and me!”. In addition, she also shared with her followers some of the song’s lyrics.

However, it wasn’t the first song written by Lucero. She co-wrote and co-produced the song "No me dejes ir" (Don’t let me go), which was one of the songs that were played on her telenovela "Por ella Soy Eva".

Although it is still unknown when Lucero, who completed 33 years of career in February, will release her full album, it is almost certain that it will be a big success, like everything that this talented woman does.
