Shakira - Pure Colombian

Shakira
The thing about being a control freak is that you're in control. I like to be the captain of my own ship.

It's easy to dismiss the hip-shaking Colombian as a bit deranged simply because we don't speak uhm, South American, but she's actually got an IQ of 140, writes all her own stuff and her head is screwed on just right.

A self-described philanthropist with a big interest in children's charities, the tousle-haired honey has not only mastered English, but she also knows Portuguese, Italian and a smattering of Arabic, too. Oh, and she's sold 60 millions albums.

That said, we just can't seem to stop sniggering about the fantastically shit 25ft metal statue of her that has been erected in her hometown, or the fact that she's had albums out called Laundry Service and Oral Fixation. Chortle...
