Shakira: Every little thing she does is magic
Writer Amy Turner of The Times (of London) profiles Colombian popstar Shakira in this article, pondering the star's combination of sexuality and philanthropy:
Shakira, she of the bum-gyrating, belly-wriggling Latin pop songs Hips Don’t Lie and Underneath Your Clothes, is being kissed by nuns. Around her swarm photographers, reporters, fans and minders, as you'd expect of a 40m-album-selling artist; "Shaki, Shaki, over here," they shout. She poses for pictures, patient as the sisters, smiling serenely. She has just stepped offstage, but she's not wearing her usual low-slung hipsters or bikini top, and she hasn't been gyrating tonight. She's all in black -- a sleek, smart shift dress -- and her trademark tousled curls are soberly straight.
Last year, we covered the launch of one of Shakira's latest philanthropic ventures ALAS (Wings) here in Mexico City -- see the video below and click here for more details.
