This year had a lot of Latino flavor to it. A lot of Latino celebrities made headlines and even more Twitter trending topics, and for good or bad, had everyone talking.

From the solitude of his recording studio, Ricky Martin made the most important confession of life through the hit of a button. Recounting this moments months later on Oprah's couch, he had her on the verge of tears. Lovers Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem not only came out in public with their relationship; they also got married and are expecting their first child. In 2010, Shakira was all over the world literally and virtually: with her 'Waka Waka' she spread the World Cup fever and made millions dance with her 'Loca' rhythms.

Salma Hayek lost control with a snake, and Sofía Vergara captured the attention of TV audiences, and not just because of her curves and her accent. A queen from Latin America once again captured the Miss Universe crown and the Chilean miners became the world's heroes - even conquering David Letterman's heart.
