Gloria Trevi is bring a little amor to the world…

The 47-year-old Mexican singer, known as the “Supreme Diva of Mexican Pop,” will kick off the U.S. leg of her El Amor world tour at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on August 21, the same day she releases her highly anticipated new album.

“These are songs that have transformed my life, that have taught me about love and how I want to be loved,” Trevi said in a statement. “I know I will leave pieces of my soul on this tour, which will be very physically and emotionally demanding but it will be worth it.”

Trevi enlisted Chilean producer Humberto Gatica for the as-yet-untitled new album, with the first single scheduled for release on May 19.

Trevi recently attended the premiere of her new biopic last month at South by Southwest. Directed by Christian Keller from a screenplay by Sabina Berman and starring Sofia Espinosa, Gloria chronicles the pop provocateur’s tumultuous rise to stardom, how she came to be known as the “Mexican Madonna,” her stint in a Brazilian jail due to bizarre criminal allegations, her exoneration and eventual comeback.

“I watched the movie at my fans’ suggestion,” Trevi told Billboard’s Leila Cobo during a Q&A at SXSW prior to the film’s first U.S. screening. “It’s not easy to see your life reflected and I personally had to understand that it’s not a documentary, but a film with dramatic license. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me get angry. It was hard to watch, but even with all the dramatic license it took, it’s a film with a positive message.”

“It’s hard to play me,” she added with wry humor. “I’m like a tragicomedy; I make people laugh and cry.”

Tickets for Trevi’s “El Amor” tour will go on sale April 24 on axs.com. Shows from Los Angeles to El Paso, Texas, have been announced so far, with more to follow.

“She’s an amazing performer who exudes so much magic on stage. As a songwriter, she evokes raw emotion and transparency, which has connected her with her myriad of fans,” said Delia Orjuela, BMI’s vice president of Latin Music. “I’ve been a fan of Gloria’s for years and foresee her flourishing even more as her brand expands.”

Gloria Trevi is about to get all melodramatic…

The 44-year-old Mexican pop-rock singer-songwriter has been cast in a leading role as the actress in the telenovela Libre para amar, according to the Mexican soap opera’s producer Emilio Larrosa.

“It’s the first soap opera that she will do,” Larrosa told news agency AFP. “The story is especially [written] for her.”

But convincing Trevi, known as the “Supreme Diva of Mexican Pop,” to join the cast of the telenovela wasn’t easy.

“It was difficult because she’s a big star in music, a winner who fills any place where she performs, but we finally we convinced her,” said Larrosa.

Trevi has reportedly already begun rehearsals for the telenovela.
