There are rumours on Twitter that Shakira will sing a song in Kurdish. Personally, i have nothing against the idea but if she does it, she won't ever have a concert in Turkey, nor her cds will sell anymore. Still, i won't believe any rumour unless it's confirmed by official sources.

What's wrong with singing in Kurdish?

For me, there's nothing wrong. But there's a huge political conflict here between Turks and Kurds, she won't able to sell even one copy of her cd in the western part of Turkey if she does that. Anyway, it's still a rumour and Turkey isn't an important music market.

Well, Gerard Pique is a central defender for FC Barcelona. I wouldn't call him a boytoy. 8-)

I didn't know he's 10 years younger than Shaki.

Piqué is very hot actually and he's very well endowed judging by the picture in the airport :lol:

I didn't mean it like he was a kept man or someone who's using her or something. I meant it like her new playmate! :lol:

Shakira defends the “filantropicapitalismo” to the powerful of America

Colombian singer Shakira, defender of “filantropicapitalismo” today started the applause of presidents and business owners to ask them to give a “historic step” and invest in early education, and also promise that if they do make money.

Shakira was one of the speakers at the first Summit of the Americas, which was preceded on the podium by the presidents of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, Chile, Sebastián Piñera, and Guatemala, Otto Perez Molina.

“Singing and music I like and make me as happy as promoting education,” said the author and performer of “Crazy” and “Waka Waka” among other hits.

The singer was one of the stars of the opening day of this forum framed in the activities of the Sixth Summit of the Americas, tomorrow and Sunday will gather in Cartagena presidents and prime ministers from 33 countries.

Shakira made a passionate defense of the need to address early childhood, children up to six years, which is the most important stage of life from the educational point of view and from others, when it is forging the future of the person .

Latin America does not have enough early learning centers, said the singer, who through her Barefoot Foundation is dedicated to providing education to poor children and collaborates with other entities within the same scope.

However, employers are not asked to believe but do foundations “social investment” in the field of education.

Presidents Obama and Santos and Shakira speak at Summit of the Americas

At the Summit of the Americas in Colombia yesterday, Presidents Obama and Santos and Shakira spoke on early childhood education, Latino education and displaced communities. The leaders highlighted Shakira’s work supporting early childhood education and the futures of the children of the continent.

President Obama acknowledged Shakira’s work in early childhood education, saying, “When we look out to these children behind us, these beautiful children, they have a brighter future ahead of them. But that future will only be fulfilled if we're making investments in them every single day, as Shakira and the First Lady are working to do, as President Santos and I have to commit ourselves to do, but today is an important first step in creating that brighter future for them.”

Likewise, President Santos referred to the actions of his government in support of early childhood education, adding, “Today we are also carrying out a symbolic event with a policy that is a priority in my government, in which my wife has taken a special interest, and that is the policy towards early childhood education. I want to thank President Obama for being here for such an important event; and above all give thanks to these children behind me, to Shakira, and to my wife for her interest in these children who are the future of Colombia.”

In her speech, Shakira also reaffirmed her commitment towards early childhood and said, “I am committed to you in my capacity as member of the Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics in the US,” and added “it’s great news that your administration just committed 133 million more in early childhood development initiatives.”

About President Santos’s government and its fight for early childhood education, Shakira concluded, “I am delighted to work hand in hand with you on this new alliance for early childhood that we have announced here in Cartagena to build new centers for education together with your administration.”

If her newly released music video for her song "Addicted To You"--which is quite possibly her sexiest video ever-- doesn't prove Shakira is a pop-star, perhaps her Facebook page will. Today the Colombian singer hit a new milestone-- she reached 50 million (yes, million) Facebook fans.

Shakira posted a photo on her Facebook fan page where she's wearing a birthday hat and holding a sign that reads "50 million". She writes "Wow! 50 million fans on Facebook. This is incredible. Thanks so much for all the love! Un beso. Shak."

The singer was ranked as No. four of Facebook's 15 Most Popular People by Huffington Post in March. Lady Gaga came in at n third place and Rihanna placed second. Eminem topped the list at number one.

Other Hispanic celebrities with large number of followers are Selena Gomez with 29 million, Enrique Iglesias with 29 million and Jennifer Lopez with 12 million. But hitting 50 million followers, Shakira most definitely takes the lead.

Its amazing how big she became because of Waka Waka.

by **GetBack** » Sun May 13, 2012 1:17 pm

She had really great global hits during the 2000s like "Whenever, Wherever", and "Hips Don't Lie"! I wish she would release such songs again!

by **Wayne** » Sun May 13, 2012 1:19 pm

She had hits yeah, but Waka Waka is by far the biggest thing she ever did - it might not have been big on the charts, but the response to it was absolutely unreal in the UK, everyone seemed to love it.

I still don't like it.

by **Brazilian** » Sun May 13, 2012 1:22 pm

And it seems Shakira is CRAZY for singing the official song on the World Cup 2014, to be released in Brazil. She has been so bootlicker of Ivete Sangallo, the biggest brazilian female singer.

by **Noahh** » Sun May 13, 2012 10:06 pm

Wow didn't know she had that many likes on Facebook to be honest. Even though I'm one of them...

Congrats to her!

I can't imagine how her album "Sale El Sol" could smash if it had songs released in spanish,that were at the same level of masterpieces like "Inevitable","Ojos así" and "No Creo". Amazing songs ! It's a pity they were released before Shakira became a global superstar.
