| Shakira visited a pet shop on December 2 |
|
Shakira is currently in Paraguay, the pop star has been seen on a pet shop in Jose Ignacio, last December 2. She was there with her brother Antonio, the Colombian beauty was wearing a white shirt and a long skirt, very casual and fresh. Shaki has a small dog, it was given by her fiancé Antonio, she told a reporter that Antonio has carrying a bag where the dog was hidden, of course she thought that she has too much pursers and she didn't needed it but then she saw the white little puppy! |

Hey I'm so happy today, last night the girl who sang Shakira's "underneath your clothes" hit song, Vera Feu, and her mother were expelled from the Superstar Family, the audience didn't vote to keep them on the reality show! Like I said yesterday that's what I call Karma! Portugal loves Shakira, she sold over 300 thousand copies there. If you didn't read the first post about this story you should know that Vera Feu said that she hates the lovely Colombian singer and she doesn't like that song at all, she also behave like a stupid diva while she was singing the ballad! |

According to Shakira the first single from Oral Fixation tour DVD will be out soon, she said that on a chat where she answered some questions made by her fans. Shakira revealed that she'll start to record her next studio album in February, and she haven't start to write any song yet. She spoke about changing her hair color, she said that she wants to dye it red or maybe purple!!! but she's not sure so she doesn't do anything. The latin singer also said that she'll visit Brazil on her next tour of promotion her next album, maybe in the end of 2008 or beginning of 2009. |

 Yesterday a Portuguese girl whose name is Vera Feu performed Shakira's hit song "Underneath your clothes", that seems to be a good thing, but she doesn't like Shakira, she also said that she hates her!Vera and her mother are contesters on a SIC show "Família superstar" (which means Superstar Family in English), Shakira gave two very special interviews in Portuguese to that channel in 2005 and 2007 and they are always talking good things about her. Well the 27 years old was very moody that night, like if she was obligated to do that, she was acting like a diva, the judges told her she wasn't the one who chooses the songs and she made a bad performance! The family Feu (the woman and her mother) have been nominated to leave the contest, that's what I call karma! |

According to several sources Antonio de la Rua cheated on Shakira, and the paparazzi's caught him! Shakira went to the premier of "Love in times of cholera" alone, last Sunday, she was looking lovely, smiling... so good to look at those pictures of her! But now she must be really sad  , this can be just a stupid rumour, but radio stations around the world are talking about it and many magazines will do the same.Maybe antonio de la Rua will start to sleep on the street! Soon I'll post more info about this subject. |

What was your inspiration for the songs? The songs try to situate themselves at the beginning of the century, a time when romanticism was the foundation and the goal of everything. What does love mean to you right now? It’s my primary nourishment. I think that nothing else in life, not even your career or music – well, what I’m saying is a bold statement – I think that nothing can substitute love as the propelling force of everyone’s lives. It’s number one on my list of priorities, of course. What do you like best about the movie? How people loved each other during that era. How we’d like to love today, how we yearn to love today. You have a love like that today… (She laughs) Yes, I’m very fortunate to love someone. I think to always be able to have someone to love, not only the love of a couple, [but also] love of a family, friends. It’s the most important support system in a life full of obstacles and problems, because we all have problems. Just because I’m a celebrity on the red carpet doesn’t mean I don’t have problems. I’ve got them too, but there always has to be someone to support us. What really touched you about the movie? The old Cartagena, the Cartagena that I love. Man’s solitude and vulnerability. We don’t see that in men these days. They always show their strong side, so seeing vulnerability and weakness, but also the strength that lives in the love of Florentino Ariza (the main character) is something that makes me think about a past that’s gone, but perhaps still lives in everyone’s hearts. I think there’s a Florentino and a Fermina hidden in all of us. Has the love displayed in this movie touched you enough to plan your own wedding? (She laughs) I don’t have time, but we’re patient, we’ve got Florentino Ariza’s patience. We’ll get married eventually, or we won’t, but we’re together and that’s what matters. We love each other and we want to stay like that. Why fix something that’s not broken. How did it go at UCLA? I liked it a lot. It was a great experience, and I’m going to continue my studies. Where are you going to spend Christmas? I’m going to do a bunch of things. I’m going to Bangladesh in December, and I might go back to Colombia to be with my family a little. What’s your favorite García Márquez book? Love in the Time of Cholera, definitely, and 100 Years of Solitude, of course! Source: People magazine Tanks Shaki fan |

 "Shakira is both a highly visual artist and a bilingual one, and her choice of Miami, the concluding stop on her 397-day world tour supporting the two Oral Fixation albums, as the performance to be filmed for a concert video was appropriate. During the hour-and-a-half show, she mixed songs and stage remarks in Spanish with some in English (but much more of the former than the latter), and that didn't seem to faze the largely young and female audience filling the auditorium. Bounding across the wide stage and changing clothes frequently, the singer proved to be as much of a dancer as a vocalist, her signature moves, usually executed in costumes baring her midriff, drawn from belly dancing, whether that meant rolling her hips in an undulating manner or thrusting her chest out forcefully. The sexual bravado of such exertions was accentuated, of course, by the performances of such hit songs as "Underneath Your Clothes" and "Hips Don't Lie." But just as often, Shakira exhibited a frisky, more innocent charm . It really didn't matter much whether she was singing in Spanish or English, since her vocal mannerisms tended to obscure the lyrics except for the repeated choruses. (Given the physical effort involved in the dancing, it was hard not to suppose that some of that singing was prerecorded anyway.) She was joined by her duet partners Alejandro Sanz on the hit "La Tortura" and Wyclef Jean on "Hips Don't Lie," the triumphant closing number. The DVD adds a few extra performances from other shows as well as short films covering the tour as a whole and Shakira's charity activities in her native Colombia."

The evening, which takes place at the Palms Casino Resort beginning at 6:00 p.m., will be hosted by Stone Village Pictures, New Line Cinema, Scott Steindorff, and Robin and Danny Greenspun, and co-sponsored by the N9NE Group, the CineVegas Film Festival, Brenden Theaters and the Palms Casino Resort. The event kicks off with a dinner and silent auction at Rain nightclub, with all proceeds going to The Bare Feet Foundation, a Colombian nonprofit aiding children and their families established through the commitment of Shakira. Following the benefit dinner, Shakira will give a selection of songs from Love in the Time of Cholera. Winner of two Grammy Awards and eight Latin Grammy's, the songstress collaborated with Stone Village Pictures to record original songs for the soundtrack.

"Shakira is a woman with immense talent and compassion, and it comes through poignantly in her music and even more so in her actions.
