Why Haven't I Noticed Shakira's Myspace Before?

I generally don't spend much time looking at famous people's myspace pages for a couple of reasons. The first is that the site is polluted with fakers and only about 0.1% of them are entertaining. The second reason is that legitimate celebrity sites are usually looked after by the record company and are nothing more than an advertising tool, a very good advertising tool. Anyway, Shakira has a myspace page, it's really 'hers' and there is some content. At present she has like 200,000 friends. Maybe you can be her friend too.

Shakira Opening Act at MTV Latin Awards

Here is a video by the Mexican artist who beat out Shakira for the top prize at the MTV Latin Awards

Shakira donned a flowing red-and-black dress for a mariachi trumpet-backed performance that got thousands of fans on their feet Thursday night to open the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America 2006.

This would turn out to be an awards show where Shakira would walk away almost empty handed. Julieta Venegas, a Tijuana native who plays accordian, took home the best singer award.

A School's Head Gets in Hot Water Over Her Shakira Act

I didn't go to a proper British school. I had a teacher MC a talent show dressed as Alice Cooper while carrying a board with a doll nailed to it.

Apparently, a woman in England obliged someone who dearly wanted something to get upset about by wearing leather boots and a crop top at school for her performance of a Shakira song.

My source is very supportive of the teacher as are the school staff and most parents. I am somewhat offended by the back that the teacher recorded a cover of The Wind Beneath My Wings, but I'll get over it.

Shakira Wins Big in Mexico

I have visted the Spanish language site for the Mexican music awards called Premios Oye!.

It's no surprise that Shakira would win an armload of trophies. I was a bit surprised to see the very nice, apparently naked breasts on the trophies. You know, the rest of the world is different.

Shakira Helps Children

Shakira is smart and talented and beautiful. She doesn't get much media attention because she doesn't do desperate or stupid things in a transparent attempt to get attention.

She heads a charitable foundation that is helping thousands of children whose families have been displaced by internal conflicts. She hasn't adopted any of them.
