2010-08-26T00:23:00.001+04:00

There's light at the end of the tunnel guys! Shakira is finally writing songs in Spanish and will be releasing her Sale el Sol album in November.

We're proud of Shakira for a lot of reasons, but her She Wolf phase made us roll our eyes. Still, we keep supporting her and wishing for the best, and our patience might pay off. The Colombian singer is finally treating her Spanish fans with some old school songwriting in her upcoming release Sale El Sol (out November 2, same day as Ricky's book!). The album will feature a few collaborations but we're most excited for 'Mi Gordita,' the song with Calle 13.

Shakira was also recently seen shooting a new music video for the song 'Loca' in Barcelona and of course she's not wearing very much other than a bikini top, skirt and roller skates.

Check out her performance of 'Sale El Sol' at Rock in Rio, the song is pretty formulaic and we can tell she's trying to get us old fans back, but Shaki gets points for effort and dedicating this song to Gustavo Cerati.

Are you excited for her new release?

Shakira should perform at the Opening Ceremony of Commonwealth Games 2010

2010-07-15T12:39:00.002+04:00

Shakira impressed millions of people in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of World Cup Football 2010 with her Waka Waka song. The song proved to be a big hit in Internet too. So, the organizers of Commonwealth Games 2010 should try to get her for the opening ceremony.

There are some reports that the organizers of the Games are trying to have Katrina Kaif to do something like Shakira did. There is nothing wrong with Katrina Kaif. She is now the top actress in India. However, Commonwealth Games is something in which around 70 nations of the world are expected to take part.

Outside of India, Katrina Kaif is hardly a familiar face. On the other hand, Shakira is now a global celebrity. Even in India, she has become a familiar face thanks to this World Cup. Waka Waka song was broadcast in various TV channels for one month almost every day.

Secondly, Shakira is a singer and she is a much better dancer than Katrina Kaif. So, the organizers of Commonwealth Games 2010 should make Shakira the main attraction instead of Katrina. Katrina can be there but on a different segment.

Commonwealth Games 2010 is going to be the biggest sporting event ever held in India. If they can host it successfully then Indian organizers would get the confidence to dream for arranging Olympic Games in near future.

SHAKIRA LOVES LYRICAL RIDDLES

2009-12-12T14:27:00.000+03:00

Shakira can't always explain the meaning of her songs because sometimes she chooses lyrics because ''they rhyme''.

Shakira doesn't care if her lyrics don't make sense.

The Columbian singer - whose songs have included bizarre lines such as "I'm starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office" in current hit 'She Wolf' - admits she struggles to explain the meanings behind the words in her songs.

She is quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "It's hard to explain my lyrics because sometimes I just write things because they rhyme. I found this metaphor, and I thought it made a lot of sense. Acoffee machine in an office has everybody's fingerprints on it. Sometimes I feel like that." Despite holding strong political views, Shakira deliberately doesn't air them in her music because she prefers songwriting to be relaxing.

She said: "Now that I have the chance to sit down with journalists, I can relax when it comes to music and not use it as another instrument of communication.

"When I write, my subconscious somehow finds its way to the surface. It's not such an intellectual process, it's more organic."

And Shakira was delighted to be approached to appear on the hit Disney show - despite the mysterious nature of the part.
She tells U.S. TV show Access Hollywood, “Shakira doesn’t really exist. It’s a complicated thing, very creative. I’m actually making fun of myself. I think it's the first time and the last time. I had a great time on set, it was so fun - I'm actually quite funny!"
And she is full of praise for the show's teenage star Selena Gomez, adding: “She’s a good, talented artist. She has a great voice... the whole cast made me feel at home. They’re great.”

SHAKIRA has followed in the footsteps of stars including MICHAEL JACKSON and JON BON JOVI by addressing students at England's prestigious Oxford University - using her speech to call for better access to education across the world.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker stood up in front of an audience at the institution's famed Union on Monday night (07Dec09) to talk about her role as an ambassador for charity UNICEF and her own The Barefoot Foundation, which aims to improve education for impoverished children.
The singer thanked the students for taking the time to listen to her talk, and went on to address the topic of universal access to education.
She said, "I am somewhat mystified as to why you are here because there won't be any singing, any hip shaking whatsoever.
"I was born in Colombia, growing up in the developing world where education is perceived as a luxury and not as birthright. So how do I go from Barranquilla, Colombia, come to occupy the same stage as Newton, Churchill? Lord knows, I am no Mother Theresa. But here I am nonetheless. My career gives me an enormous opportunity to communicate issues that I believe strongly should be communicated."

The piece touches on some facets of Shakira's public and private life, including her quirks, childhood and rise to fame but the focus stays on the cause she's most passionate about: educating children.

Shakira speaks of her work with the ALAS (wings in Spanish) foundation which she co-founded, UNICEF, and the future projects of her Pies Descalzos (Barefeet) Foundation including an updating on the school the organization built in her hometown of Barranquilla. Malcomson's case in point: while the hip-shaking superstar looks like most philanthropist stars on the surface, her case is unique.

"Celebrity philanthropy, rock ’n’ roll philanthropy, is no longer a novelty, but what Shakira and ALAS were trying was indeed new." Malcomson says. "They were looking to use the power of pop to help the populations not of distant impoverished lands but of the Ibero-American world from which they come."

The ALAS Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Shakira, Sanz and other artists, intellectuals and business leaders advocating the importance of early childhood development. Colombia's Piez Descalzos Foundation was founded by Shakira that aims to aid impoverished children.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Colombian pop star Shakira's publicist says a report that the singer will record a song about Islam and Arabs with Arab-American singer Dania Youssef is untrue.

Al-Arabiya reported that Shakira, who is of Lebanese and Colombian descent, is penning the English lyrics, while Egyptian composer Mohamed Saad is writing the Arabic portion of the song, as well as the music. The report said a U.S. director was expected to film a music video for the song.

Shakira's publicist, Diana Baron, told UPI the report was incorrect.

"This report is a total fabrication in every respect," she said.

Shakira -- who was honored last week with the Humanitarian of the Year Award at the ALMA Awards -- is working on a new record, Baron said.

Shakira has for the past year served as an advocate for early childhood education, working for her Barefoot Foundation, Fundacion Pies Descalzos and Fundacion America Latina en Accion Solidaria -- which promotes prosperity for children in Latin America as well as vaccinations and pre-natal care.
