Shakira: Heavy Metal Goddess

Shakira: Click to watchColombian hip-shaking sensation Shakira was honored by her hometown of Barranquilla yesterday, with the unveiling of a 15-foot, six-ton iron statue of the singer. The statue does not gyrate.

Shakira played a concert in the city, which doubled as a fundraiser for Shakira's foundation, Pies Descalzos ("Bare Feet"), which builds schools around Colombia.

The sixth school funded by Shakira is set to open in 2008, putting her neck-in-neck with Angelina Jolie in the Hottest Humanitarian competition. Caliente!

Jon's just angry that he's small and can't perform in bed. There's pills for that, sweetheart.
And I'll bet you learned your knew word from Mind Of Mencia, sorry to burst your bubble, but he's hispanic too. Sorry you're too stupid and ignorant to notice.

Holy Rocky Balboa statue Iris. The Colombian female version of Elvis Presley (the hip shaking part) has a statue of herself for giving moolah to the poor. OUTASIGHT! Now can you build a highway between Colombia and Panama borders and we will build name an airport in your honor.

Oh you little dumb ass you didnt! First of all I am not surprise that someone that expresses himself like that has absolutely no idea what talent is! First of all, many of the gringo stupid "artist" in this country will die to have one inch of the talent she has. Please, compare Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears with Shakiras lyrics. No comparison.... oh right, I am sure you cant read or have absolutely no idea what her words mean since they are to educated for you. I feel so sorry, but you know what people like you do deserve little, stupid, ignorant artists like P. HIlton.
Anyway, I went to this concert and it was the greatest one since it was her, as well as me, hometown. So she threw the house out the window. It was wonderful as expected.
Go Colombia, Go Barranquilla!

Thank you for correcting that, it gets kind of boring and time consuming after a while to make the same correction. If you know a little bit about the world (hey kids the world doesn't mean only the U.S., guess you should get out a globe and learn a little of geography) people would know the difference.

Why don't the Colombian drug lords build schools there? And by the way, if the kids are all barefoot, how about some kicks for the kiddies, indoor plumbing wouldn't either.

oh Jon, poor Jon, I bet you are a little rat hillbilly redneck. But you know, comments like yours really need to be ignored. But I really feel very sad for you. But hey, the day I pay attention to a ignorant, no class, poor honky like you, that will be the day.
Wishing you the best.

Tony, let me respond to your very stupid question, I get a kick out of doing this. First, I believe that Colombian's Drug lords' main clients (which are only from the U.S. since they are the only wackos who are ok on burning up their brains) are in low in cash. I guess the their clients have gone over their limits and have not been able to balance their bank accounts. Also, I give you some extra info, eventhough you find drugs their we are intelligent enough to only sell it to guys like you. In addition, I live in Colombia half of the year and anybody will tell you that you live much better and HAPPIER than in the U.S. well actually you would be happier anywhere than in the US.
