In Hollywood news, sources reported Charlie Sheen’s hospital release from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Sheen was quietly released from the hospital without surgery after suffering “abdominal pain.” Sheen has claimed that drugs were not the cause for his rush to the hospital. He has previously been treated for a hernia but may need surgery as soon as possible, after laughing too hard at the television. Friends where at his side through the time he was treated Cedars-Sinai. It wasn’t the last laugh for Charlie Sheen, but certainly the most painful.
In music news, Alejandra Guzmán has just released her new single “Dia de Suerte” onto the airwaves and as a digital download everywhere. The new single will be featured as the theme song for the Televisa’s new soap opera Una Familia con Suerte. The new show will premiere February 14th in Mexico and will hit U.S. audiences shortly afterward.
Renowned television producer Juan Osorio created Una Familia con Suerte, which stars Arath de la Torre, Daniela Castro, and Sergio Sendel in a melodramatic and comedic story about the rich and the poor. Guzmán will also make a brief cameo on the show. Emilio Avila produced the theme song, “Dia de Suerte,” written by Alejandra Guzmán and Jose Luis Ortega.
After completing a successful sold-out tour for the album Único, Guzman is still working hard. She is currently working on the process of her fifteenth album, a greatest hits live record. The annual NRJ Music Awards held in Cannes, France on January 22nd, honored the Columbian superstar Shakira with two very prestigious awards.
The singer won International Female Artist 2010 and Song of the Year for 2010 FIFA World Cup official song Waka Waka (This time for Africa). As the opening act in the award ceremony, Shakira performed her hit songs Loca and Waka Waka.
International star Tito ‘El Bambino’ is set to release his new album “Invencible” on February 8th in all of Latin America, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. As his fourth album, Tito ‘El Bambino’ promises a new creation of fusions which many could characterize as ‘Urban Pop.’ According to Siente Music the album combines fusions of tropical rhythm with Reggaeton bases that combine to become “strong lyrical perfect frames.”
The first single off the new album is Llueve el Amor which also happens to be the theme song for Univision’s soap opera Eva Luna. So far much success has come to Tito who hopes Invencible surpasses the already successful album El Patrón.
