Latin Billboard Music Conference: Laura Pausini

By Fernie Ruano Jr.

Laura Pausini doesn’t like the size of her ass, isn’t stressing the girth of her bank account and would spend anything to see the only thing she considers priceless: a smile from 1-year-old daughter, Paola.

With 25 million records sold worldwide by 2004, a decade after recording “Laura”, her first studio album, Pausini was recently thrown to the (questionnaire) rapid fire during the Latin Billboard Music Conference, where the star revealed the trait she appreciates the most in a man and what would definitely get you blocked on Twitter.
