Monterrey, Mexico - Gloria Trevi, who was recently released from prison, arrived in her hometown of Monterrey to promote a tour that will put her back on a Mexican stage after a nine-year absence.
 The pop star, who is billing herself as a woman of the people, shook hands and kissed reporters as she arrived at a press conference Monday dressed in an olive green sliplike dress, black translucent robe and cowboy boots.
 "I'm going to put on the hottest show that has ever hit the stage because there is going to be not only quality, but also passion and gratitude toward the people," Trevi said.
 She will kick off her "Trevolution" tour, which will take her to dozens of cities in Mexico and the United States, at the Arena Monterrey Friday. The U.S. leg of Trevi's tour will open April 1 in Reno, Nev.
 Trevi's music about sexual liberation and teenage frustration became wildly popular in the early 1990s, and she was often seen as a sort of Latin American version of Madonna.
 She was cleared on rape and kidnapping charges in September, along with two of her backup singers, after spending five years in Brazilian and Mexican prisons. Prosecutors had alleged they had lured young girls into their entourage and then sexually abused them. |
