Sure, she was crowned winner of the talent search Rumbo al Éxito 2008, sponsored by Walmart. But she is still hustling to make it big. Since then, she has opened for for Jorge Villamizar (Bacilos frontman) in concert and has worked with songwriters such as reggaetonero Noriega and Jorge Luis Pagán (Marc Anthony, Thalia).

Jenny Laura is also currently writing songs for upcoming artists in Honduras and Mexico and recently co-wrote a track for Zion & Lennox that will soon hit the radio. Just last night, she attended Premios lo Nuestro with Alexa Ferrari, a new artist she is writing for, walking the red carpet with reggaetonero De La Ghetto.

As if that wasn't keeping her busy, she is currently traveling back and forth between Miami and Puerto Rico working on her own solo material, a mix of pop, rock, and urban. The petite singer-song writer bases her songs in real-life situations and hopes to release her debut this year. Don't be surprised if you see her on your TV anytime soon!

How far would you go to look just like your favorite Hollywood star? Just ask Chinese 21-year old Xiaoqing who has revealed she will go under the knife to look just like our belleza latina Jessica Alba. According to Guanabee, apparently in the efforts of getting her ex-boyfriend back she will try to look like the object of his obsession. Yes, you read right, the adorable goof is crushing on Alba.

This loca woman reportedly said her boyfriend never asked her to go for surgery but allegedly told her how he wished she looked like Jess, buying her a nice blond wig for her to wear. Marriage material, per se? Now, the Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital has agreed to proceed with the several surgeries she will need free of charge in order to achieve showcase of their work.

What does Alba have to say to this? She was far beyond flattered. On Saturday she stated she is feeling distressed towards the reports of this Chinese woman trying to look like her.

Where are the men who love their women as they are? Ooh, cupid!

But just to give you a slight idea: Jaime's adventures have no limits; the man aims high. And when I say high, I mean presidential high. Yes, he revealed in his TV show last month that he will be running for president. The next elections in Peru will be held at the end of the 2011, and Jaime is not wasting any time. Although he said he is not investing any money on a campaign, he's still getting followers to lend a helping hand. There are a bunch of banners in Lima with "Jaime Bayly Presidente" written all over them.

Now, do I think he's going to win? No. Does he think he's going to win? Negativo. But he does believe in fighting a lost war. He's aiming to legalize drugs, abortion and gay marriages, and he wants to get rid of the army. Do people agree with him? Hah! And yet another Hah! Peru is one of the most conservative countries there is! He is fighting a lost war, indeed.

A few days ago, while I was in Lima, I watched the news and found out that the Catholic church is against Bayly. The archbishop of Lima called him a "clown." Isn't it ironic that right after the news, he had a comedian named Tongo write a song for his campaign right in his show? And the darned thing is truly hilarious. To my delight, politics are not about stiff men in suits anymore, but rather, the whole thing has become a circus. Bayly still has more than a year of campaign ahead of him... Let's see what else he's going to pull out of his hat.

See him in action after the jump.
