Shakira Does not Appear in 'Love in the Time of Cholera'

I read somewhere that Shakira refused a role that was offered to her because the director wanted her to appear nude. This is disappointing. Judging from the reviews of the movie, it is also a disappointment. I think it is another case where many people have certain expectations after having read the book on which the movie is based.

As you can tell from the trailer, Shakira did contribute original music to the project.
