In an aside, I apologize for the complete lack of updates. I lost the internet and had some family health issues to deal with. I am back now. :)

Here's some great news to start the week - last night, Shakira won the Best Latin Music Artist award at this year's American Music Awards. Of course, she could never have done so unless you guys had voted for her. You rock. Thank you.


And Shaki and Antonio arrived in Barcelona Airport today. You can see all the pictures here.

We're pleased to report that Shakira has been nominated for the Best Latin Music Artist award at this year's American Music Awards. It'd be lovely if you'd click here and vote for her. The awards will be televised on ABC in the U.S. at 8/7c on ABC on November 21.




We caught up with Shakira for an exclusive chat. In part one of our interview, she tells us about the new album, Sale El Sol / The Sun Comes Out, which you can buy from your local retailer at http://smarturl.it/shakiraalbum . Look out for parts two and three of our interview soon.


Also you should head over to shakiragallery.com and check out all the pictures from the Bambi Awards and her appearance on X Factor. :)

In recognition of her continuing dedication to improve access to education for all children around the world, Shakira was named as the 2010 Free Your Mind recipient at last night's EMA Awards in Madrid, Spain (she also opened the show, with an amazing performance of Loca and Waka Waka).

For more information on the award, head over to the EMAs site.

(currently the video of her acceptance speech is unavailable but I'll keep looking)

I love her relaxed style so much. She is gorgeous. :)

Following her amazing parking lot encore in Anaheim earlier this week, Shakira pulled some fans out of the crowd to teach them the Loca dance. Check out the film above to see what happened.

Hey guys. I've decided that instead of updating twice a week with a bunch of stuff I'll just update whenever I see new things I think you'd all be interested in. I'm going to open up the community so you can post things too. As long as it is Shaki related it's good with me :)



What's the most Loca thing you can do when you've just played a sold out arena show in Anaheim? If you're Shakira, you head out into the parking lot and do a surprise encore of your new single on the roof of a car...

First off I apologize for this post being late. Secondly, my computer is freezing up like crazy so I'm just going to post one thing tonight. It's worth your time. It's hilarious and adorable and I'm pretty sure I heard Shaki say "vagina"....so basically my life is complete. haha So go watch this video of Katy Brand vs Shakira and enjoy. :)
