  • Enrique Iglesias Fans Throw Bras During Sri Lankan Concert, President Says Concert Organizers Should Be “Whipped” for Uncivilized Behavior

    Enrique Iglesias fans attending a concert in Sri Lanka threw bras at the handsome singer, much to the chagrin of Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena. Although the president doesn’t believe the women who threw bras at Enrique Iglesias should be punished, he believes a very severe punishment is due concert organizers.

    “I don’t advocate that these uncivilized women who removed their brassieres should be beaten with toxic stingray tails,” Sirisena said, according to the BBC, “but those who organized such an event should be. This is most uncivilized behavior that goes against our culture.”

    Enrique Iglesias appeared in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo on December 20 as part of his “Sex and Love” world tour. Apparently the Sri Lankan president had no idea what fans of the King of Latin Pop are accustomed to doing at these concerts.

    In addition to the issue of bras being thrown, President Sirisena found fault with the price of Enrique Iglesias concert tickets. The tickets ranged in price between $25 and $250.

    He also said, according to the Colombo Gazette, that local authorities failed to make the right kinds of inquiries prior to approving the Enrique Iglesias concert.

    “I need to say these things. As a Sinhalese Buddhist I cannot refrain from expressing my views. I will speak out when our traditions and culture is harmed,” he said.

    He added that some events are organized solely for the sake of making money, but people too often fail to understand that not everything is about the money.

    It certainly doesn’t sound like Enrique Iglesias will be invited back to Sri Lanka to perform any time soon.

  • Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama Living Together, Wedding Bells?

    Demi Lovato and long time boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama are reportedly living together now, and sources speculate they may wed within the year.

    A source overhead the ‘Heart Attack’ singer chatting while shopping recently, and told RadarOnline, “I overheard Demi telling the salesclerk that she wanted ‘her and her boyfriend’s home’ to be warm and comfy.”

    “She said she loves reds and earth tones and wanted their bedroom to be romantic, dark and passionate,” the insider adds. “She also bought a ton of candles because she said that Wilmer loves candle,” the source added.

    It was only a couple of weeks ago that Demi Lovato shared the following Instagram shot of her with Wilmer Valderrama. She captioned it, “I never post personal pictures like this but fuck.. He is perfect. I miss my @wilmervalderrama.”

    Cambio reports that wedding bells should be ringing for Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama before too long–or at least that’s what Demi is hoping for.

    “They are getting beyond serious,” a source tells them. “I saw them recently and she looks so happy and in love. In fact, she is hoping that he will ask him to marry her this year.”

    “Demi says that Wilmer is her soul partner and she could never see herself with anyone else,” the source added.

    Wilmer Valderrama and Demi Lovato are spending some time apart right now, however, while Demi is on tour overseas with Enrique Iglesias.

    Demi shared the following Instagram post about missing home at Thanksgiving. She captioned the photo, ‘Happy Thanksgiving… Missing my family a lot today.. But I got to double FaceTime with them which is better than nothing!!! I love them so much and I’m so thankful for them. Also, shout out to my double chin for being with me on this Turkey Day.’

    Wilmer Valderrama must have missed Demi Lovato on Thanksgiving, too. Do you suppose by next year’s holiday season the former That 70s Show star will have proposed? Will Demi soon be Mrs. Wilmer Valderrama?

  • Westboro Baptist Goes After Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull

    “Enrique Iglesias is a huge fag-butt-kisser…”

    The Latino Outreach wing of the Westboro Baptist Church is nothing if not equal-opportunity. After recently going after Modern Family “gay couple” Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who is gay in real life, and Eric Stonestreet, who is not, they have now turned their sights on an international target.

    Citing a PrideSource interview from 2007, in which Iglesias spoke about playing a gig in a gay club, the Westboro folks have singled him out for hating.

    Throughout the PrideSource interview they cite, Iglesias demonstrates again and again that he himself is not gay. He made no big deal about it, but he never took the bait in questions to represent himself as anything but who he is: a straight singer who happened to be playing a gig at the biggest gay club in London.

    How did you choose the guy you sang “Hero” to onstage?

    He was up on top of another guy having a good time, so I could clearly see him way, way back in the crowd. But if I ever pick out anybody at one of my concerts, I really just go with my instinct.

    Was that the most intimate you’ve ever been with a guy?

    Yeah, that was probably the most intimate that I’ve been with a guy. (Laughs) I’ve never serenaded a guy before, I’ll tell you that much.

    If you were into guys, who would be your type?

    If I was into guys? (Laughs) That’s a good question. Oh, dude, I don’t know what to tell you.

    I read somewhere that you got your start singing in a high school production of “Hello, Dolly!” Is that true?

    No, that’s what they say, but I never did musical theater. I’ve read that in a lot of places, but I don’t know where the hell they got that from!

    Nonetheless, Westboro figures he deserves their ire.

    But they also went after Pitbull.

    “Together, these simpletons have a huge megaphone to lead the Spanish-speaking and Spanglish-speaking masses. Instead of using that to tell them about truth and life, they teach them to be froward [sic], pushy, entitled WHORES!”

    And, finally, they wrapped up with their standard claim

    “God Hates Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull!”

  • Anna Kournikova Has Yet To Meet Enrique’s Dad Julio

    Tennis star and pinup girl Anna Kournikova has been dating Latin music sensation Enrique Iglesias for 12 years. In a recent interview with Billboard, Iglesias revealed an almost unbelievable detail, Kournikova has never met Enrique’s father Julio Iglesias.

    Enrique says that there is no one to blame and that he rarely sees his estranged father, who was also quite a Lothario heartthrob back in his salad days. “The last 14 years, 15 years of my life have flown by. And that’s the only way I can truly explain it. There’s no reason why — it’s not his fault, and it’s not my fault.”

    The 70-year-old Julio, who is the best-selling Latin music artist ever, clearly has a complicated relationship with his son. One would think that some kind of musical collaboration between the two Latin artists would be an obvious choice, however, Julio said last year that he would never work with his son. “Singing with my son is something that would come off as very commercial. I think that he and I will never sing together. If we sing, it will be at a dinner, when he has kids and wants his kids to sing, just like my little ones do. I don’t believe in a public commercial duet between my kids and me.”

    Kournikova, 32, met Enrique, 38, while working on the music video Escape in 2001. Even though they’ve been romantically linked for over a decade, neither seems all that anxious to get hitched. Enrique’s parents were divorced, and Kournikova said in an interview with Women’s Health in 2011, “Marriage isn’t important to me. I’m in a happy relationship — that’s all that matters.”

    Enrique is currently out promoting his new album Sex and Love, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. However, the album quickly slipped to No. 42 in its second week. Even still, the Latin heartthrob isn’t worried about the album’s sales, especially considering his last album Euphoria (2010) took 18 months to produce two top five singles.

  • Anna Kournikova Hasn’t Met Enrique Iglesias’ Dad?

    Seriously!

    Tennis Pro Anna Kournikova has yet to meet Enrique Iglesias‘ dad, Julio, despite the fact they’ve been dating for 12 years.

    “The last 14 years, 15 years of my life have flown by. And that’s the only way I can truly explain it,” said 38-year-old singer. “There’s no reason why — it’s not his fault, and it’s not my fault.”

    The reason could be that Iglesias and his dad, who is the best-selling Latin music artist in history, have had a strained relationship over the years.

    Last year, the 70-year-old said he would likely never collaborate with his son because it may come across as too commercial.

    “Singing with my son is something that would come off as very commercial,” Julio told El Universal at the time. “I think that he and I will never sing together. If we sing, it will be at a dinner, when he has kids and wants his kids to sing, just like my little ones do. I don’t believe in a public commercial duet between my kids and me.”

    Enrique and Kournikova, 32, met on the set of the singer’s Escape music video in 2001. Although they have been dating for a very long time, it doesn’t look like marriage is on the horizon for the power couple anytime soon.

    “I’ve never really thought marriage would make a difference. Maybe it’s because I come from divorced parents, but I don’t think you love someone more because of a piece of paper,” Iglesias told Parade in March 2012. “Nowadays, it’s not taboo to have kids and not be married.”

    Kournikova seems to agree with her love.

    “[Marriage] isn’t important to me,” Kournikova said in a Women’s Health interview. “I’m in a happy relationship — that’s all that matters.”

  • Anna Kournikova: Still Yet To Meet Enrique Iglesias’ Dad

    Have you ever watched the music video to “Escape” by Enrique Iglesias and wondered if Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias would be a fitting couple? If you have not heard, Anna and Enrique are a couple and have been together for twelve years. I am sure that after you have been with someone for quite a while, you would meet their parents after a few years? Not Anna and Enrique.

    According to MSN.com’s Wonder Wall, 32-year-old Russian Tennis sensation Anna Kournikova has still yet to meet 38-year-old Latin pop singer Enrique Iglesias’ dad, well-known Latin singer Julio Iglesias. When Julio was asked about his son’s relationship with Anna, and why he has not met his son’s girlfriend of twelve years, Julio offered the following statement to The Mirror:

    “You know I have to tell the truth, I have never met Anna. Yes, my wife, and my kids and his brothers have, but I have never met her, no, no, never. I don’t know how comes. My kids are very independent and it is difficult to see Enrique because he is all over the world. But Anna is very beautiful — they have good taste my kids.”

    In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Enrique talks about his relationship with Anna and how they met on the set while filming the music video for “Escape.” Interviewer Rita Braver asked Enrique “You never set eyes on her the day before she showed up on the set?” Enrique’s response was “I knew who she was, because the producer I was working with was in love with her.” Enrique also added the fact that “Never in a million years did I think that I would be making a video with her and that we would start up a relationship.”

    CBS’ Braver also asked Enrique about the future, inquiring “Do you hope to be a dad some day?” Enrique’s response was “I do hope to be a dad”; however, Enrique admits that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be ready for that and stated “I want to make sure I’m here as much as possible, and that I don’t travel as much. I don’t want to go on tour, and six months later, not recognize my own children.”

  • Anna Kournikova Hasn’t Met Julio Iglesias, Even Though She’s Been Dating His Son For 13 Years

    It has been more than a decade since tennis pro Anna Kournikova started dating pop singer Enrique Iglesias, but she still has yet to meet his father, legendary crooner Julio Iglesias.

    The tennis star, who retired in 2007, has been in a relationship with Enrique for nearly 13 years. They met in 2001 when she starred in the video for his single “Escape,” and while there had been times when the pair was reported to have split up, the couple would still be seen together. Enrique, 38, and Anna, 32, reside in a waterfront mansion on a private island in Miami.

    Anna has met Julio Iglesias’ wife, the Dutch model Miranda Rijnsburger and their children, but has yet to be introduced to the head of the Iglesias family. Enrique, born in 1975, is Iglesias’ third son with first wife Isabel Preysler. His other siblings include socialite Chabeli, born in 1971, and singer Julio Jr., born in 1973.

    “My kids are very independent and it is difficult to see Enrique because he is all over the world,” said Iglesias, by way of explaining why he hasn’t met his son’s ladylove.

    “He is a super guy…clever and very charming,” Iglesias remarked. He admits that it is not easy for a son to follow his father’s footsteps, and though Enrique’s music is very different from his own classical ballads, he is nonetheless proud of what his son has accomplished, even saying that “Enrique is in the same class like Michael Douglas and Liza Minnelli.”

    Enrique might be grooving to pop beats and his dad may be more into slow seduction, but the older Iglesias is proud to say what they both have in common: nothing but el amor, love. To illustrate, he lists some big names in music: Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Elvis, and The Beatles. Their songs are “always about love.”

    Of Enrique’s girlfriend, the Spanish singer had this to say: “Anna is very beautiful.” He added, “They have good taste, my kids.”

  • Enrique Iglesias Talks Man Parts

    Enrique Iglesias Talks Man Parts

    Enrique Iglesias participated in a question and answer session with the Miami Herald this past week, and twice alluded to the size–or lack thereof–of his manhood. The meet and greet took place at The James Royal Palm.

    Iglesias performed Saturday night in Sunrise, Florida, at the Jingle Ball concert, sponsored by Y100. He took time out of his busy schedule to speak with his hometown newspaper.

    The question and answer session was very straightforward, and in no way lent itself to the Hero singer discussing his man parts.

    The first rather uncomfortable mention came when talking about what he likes to do when home in Miami. He said he likes to go skinny dipping when there’s no paparazzi around–adding that he won’t say where because “there’s not a lot to show off.”

    The second mention came when asked what his worst trait was.

    “My worst defect is from my waist down,” Iglesias said, laughing.

    Self-deprecating humor is fine–everyone uses it to alleviate uncomfortable situations or to garner a quick laugh. But to mention his less-than-ample genitalia not just once, but twice in the same interview, just seemed a bit peculiar. Iglesias was one of two male headliners for this year’s Jingle Ball concert series nationwide. That kind of notoriety should be plenty to help boost his self-confidence.

    Is Enrique Iglesias one of those guys who isn’t happy if his manhood isn’t lauded? Was he hoping someone would disagree with his down-talking about himself?

    Despite what Iglesias claims he’s lacking down below, he more than makes up for up above–in the form of his singing voice. Hopefully that’s enough for his fans, since it doesn’t sound like (at least coming straight from the horse’s mouth) he has much else to offer. His fans at the Jingle Ball this week in Sunrise, Florida, seemed thrilled with his performance there.

    Do you find these comments a bit bizarre or was Enrique Iglesias just behaving like a typical guy?
