Shakira Forgets Her Roots

Rump shaking international singing sensation Shakira channeled her inner Marilyn Monroe while filming her upcoming music video for the song, "Illegal."

Forgoing her usual popstar-fabulous look, Shakira was spotted in a glamorous diamond studded evening gown while rocking platinum blonde locks. Regardless of her attire, the entire male staff of TMZ can hardly wait for the video to be released.

16. Shakira sucks. She sounds like a wailing hyena....very grating and annoying.

17. It doesn't suit her nor does the gown. Glamorous she is not. The cavewoman look is what I'm used to.

18. #7 & #15,

Please. You both act as if Christina was the first to do the whole Marilyn Monroe 50s glam look. When it has already been done way before she even existed. Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Mariah Carey had already done that. Besides, what Christina is doing is completely moronic. She said her album is a throwback to the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. But Marilyn was a 50s actress.

20. The person who said : "Here we going again....turning the non white girl into a Hollywood white girl." is a fool. Firstly Shakira has been blonde for almost 10 years now and white since the day she was born. Her mother is half italian and half spanish (as in european) and her father is a christian lebanese man from New York. So that makes her white, even though she has dark hair naturally. I think she looks awesome as a blonde. It really suits her. Don't asume that everyone from a latin country is some type of native indian coz Shakira definately isnt.
Here is a link with a pic of her and her parents. All of them are white. Obviously.

21. she might've been born in Columbia but her blood is 100% pure lebanese, thank you shakira for keeping Lebanon in your heart, and thak you for the frequent visits and I'll never forget you saying that you consider Lebanon to be your mother land as a tribute to your father, your Lebanon's most precious christian daughter, and your beloved beyond your wildest imaginations.we're proud as a nation to claim you as one of our own, unlike sama hayek, born in lebanon to lebeneese parents, and now claims she's from mexico, I guess her heritage means nothing to her, the $ sighn does, what a shame,she disgraced herself.

24. Shakira is an actress as well as a singer. She's comfortable using makeup and costume to create a variety of characters. She had an acting career before her music career took off in the U.S., and she brings that talent to her music videos - so don't make the mistake of assuming that every character she portrays is intended to be her *new image.* She's very much a performance artist. Part of the reason for her varying style is that she focuses on themes in her latest work -- when she released Pies Descalzos (the album that preceded the charity), she portrayed ordinary, working class and peasant women in her videos; for Laundry Service, she chose the Gaucho theme as fitting for most of the album (except Underneath Your Clothes). You'll notice that her look will change everytime she releases a new album, as she uses costume, makeup and hair style to complement the major themes of her latest work.

At the same time, in her personal life, she enjoys changing up her looks - something many women share with her. I'm not a girly-girl, but I get tired of the same-old same-eh. I think she's most beautiful with dark hair, looking very Arabic - but I appreciate her artistry in creating styles to go with the themes of her musical works.
