Shakira In Uruguay

These pictures of Shakira in Uruguay are from a week ago, but I haven’t seen them anywhere so I thought I’d post for all the Shakira fans out there :) She looks beautiful as always!

And speaking of Shakira, did you hear about the auction she did to raise money for her charity Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet)? She sold off her clothes to bidders and managed to raise $76,000. One of her bra’s alone raised $3,000! But the highest bid was for VIP tickets to her concert in Toronto, plus a meet and greet with the singer herself. It went for $14,000. How much would you pay to meet your favorite celebrity?!?

Shakira shakes it up

POP diva Shakira has given her home crowd a taste of her latest album Oral Fixation before heading to New York for its worldwide release. "My music cannot be classified as typically Latina," she said. "Sometimes I have used bits of our culture, as in the song Suerte (Luck), with some Andean instruments, but La Tortura (Torture) has a lot of us in it."

La Tortura, already released as a single, has pushed fellow Colombian Juanes from the No.1 spot of the Billboard Latin music charts.
The Lebanese-Colombian star said she does not see the recent worldwide success of many Colombian musicians as cause for rivalry. "I admire Juanes and Carlos Vives," the 28-year-old said. "I like Soraya and Los Aterciopelados," she said.

"Colombian music is recognised around the world, which makes me proud," she said.
Shakira's first album in two years includes a duo with Spaniard Alejandro Sanz. It will be released in 60 countries including Australia on June 7.

Shakira's Bra Sells For 3,000 Dollars

A Shakira fan has forked out a massive $3,000 for a Roberto Cavalli designed bra which once supported her “small and humble” breasts.

The pop star is personally auctioning off various items in her wardrobe to raise funds for the charity Bare Feet Foundation, which is currently building schools for poor children in Shakira’s native Colombia.


Shakira has raised in excess of $60,000 so far, with the highest bid coming from a fan who paid $14,100 just to meet her.


Other items that have been sold include a purple wig and Gibson guitar used in the video for ‘Las De La Intuicion’ which went for $3,301, and a turquoise dress for $1,076. The auction closes this Sunday.
