While Ryan Seacrest ushers in 2015 in New York City, Fox will be saying “welcome to Miami” with a New Year’s Eve show hosted by Armando Christian Perez — otherwise known as Pitbull.
“It’s very exciting to bring Endemol, Fox and my new production company, Honey I’m Home, together to create a live New Year’s Eve show,” Perez said in a press release. “The world needs to get ready to un-mute New Year’s Eve, because we are taking the party from the Big Apple to the Pineapple.”

Fox will ring in the New Year with Pitbull. Much as ABC does with Ryan Seacrest, and before him Dick Clark, Fox is putting its money on the pop star formally known as Armando Christian Perez. Beginning at 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, he’ll be broadcasting live form Miami, where he’ll perform and be joined by name-brand musicians and DJs. The event, which is titled Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution, will air during Fox’s two-hour primetime block, and then will return post-news from 11 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. “The world needs to get ready

Kodiak, Alaska -- Miami rapper Pitbull can now say he's safe from bears in Alaska.
Pitbull received a care package Monday from Walmart during his visit to Kodiak, complete with bear repellent spray and bear bells used by hikers to make noise, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported.
The bear spray had special meaning to about 250 people who attended the Pitbull appearance at the Coast Guard base in Kodiak. The rapper had tweeted he heard the local Walmart sold the spray.
In a marketing deal, Pitbull – whose real name is Armando Christian Perez – agreed to visit the Walmart that got the most likes on its Facebook page.
Kodiak was the easy winner, thanks to David Thorpe, a Boston writer who thought it would be funny to send Pitbull to the most remote Walmart possible. Thorpe also was in Kodiak Monday and met the rapper.

Anchorage, Alaska — It's not exactly "International Love," but Miami rap star Pitbull is about to bring his act to a nonetheless far-flung site – Kodiak, Alaska.
The unlikely tour stop announced Tuesday will mark the first time the chart-topper will visit the state known as The Last Frontier, and it comes as a result of a marketing deal and perhaps a little mischief.
Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez, in a promotion with Walmart and Sheets Energy Strips, agreed to visit whichever Walmart got the most "likes" on its Facebook page.
David Thorpe, a writer for The Boston Phoenix, thought it would be funny to exile the "Give Me Everything" rapper to the most remote Walmart possible, and encouraged people to "like" the Walmart in Kodiak.
The store in a city with a population of about 6,100 wound up with more than 70,000 "likes." The surrounding borough, which Alaska has rather than counties, has about 14,000 people.

Anchorage, Alaska -- Miami rapper Pitbull might soon be chilling out in Alaska.
In a marketing deal, Walmart will send Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez, to the store that gets the most "likes" on its Facebook page.
Right now, the leading candidate is Kodiak, Alaska. And there might be a reason.
A writer for The Boston Phoenix newspaper thought it'd be funny to send Pitbull to the most remote Walmart possible, and is encouraging people to "like" the Walmart in Kodiak.
It seems to be working.
The Kodiak Walmart had more than 35,000 "likes" Monday, more than five times the town's population.
Kodiak has a significant lead in the contest to land Pitbull, but actual numbers weren't immediately available, Walmart spokeswoman Sarah Spencer said.
She says other Walmart shoppers have until July 16 to like their local stores and pull ahead of Kodiak.

Miami -- For years, Latin music acts typically had two routes to U.S. success – sing in English, or build a Latin fan base with Spanish-language tunes, then cross over to the English-language market.
Now a growing group of artists like Pitbull, Prince Royce and Romeo Santos are making it big by singing in Spanish and English – sometimes in the same song – and winning over both markets simultaneously. And unlike the majority of artists singing in Spanish in the past, these artists are homegrown; they were born in the continental United States and grew up speaking English.
Royce, born Geoffrey Royce Rojas, earned fame last year with a bilingual version of Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me." The song has been covered by John Lennon, Otis Redding and even U2, but Royce set it to the beat of bachata, the native folk music of the Dominican Republic.
