Critic Enjoys Shakira Album, And Then Calls It Bland

Some critics are accusing Shakira of pulling her punches with her latest album.

I think Shakira is really exploiting the traditional dance, and I don't care.

MTV Contest Winner To Tour With Shakira

MTV announced today the “Dirty Little Secrets” contest, where one grand prize winner will win the chance to go on tour with Shakira in 2006 as the official “fan correspondent” for MTV. In addition, the fortunate winner will work as a guest reporter for Teen People Magazine.

I think a better name for this contest would have been 'Almost Almost Famous'.
