Shakira only releases music that makes her hips sway. The "Hips Don't Lie" singer uses an unorthodox method to ensure her latest tracks reach her high pop standards - if they don't make her dance, she scraps them.

Shakira believes sex is the "ultimate human expression." The "She Wolf" singer - who is engaged to entrepreneur Antonio de la Rua - has become more outgoing and in touch with her erotic desires as she has got older.

Shakira is desperate to "reproduce." The "Beautiful Liar" singer is certain her fiance Antonio de la Rua - the son of Argentina's former president Fernando de La Rua - is the "right person" to start a family with, and is planning to start trying for a baby as soon as possible.

The 'Hips Don't Lie' singer is keen to have children with fiancé Antonio de la Rua but says the couple don't have any plans to get married in the near future.

In this generation, showing some skin makes you an "it" figure, but for a Latin superstar, it was not an "it" thing.

Shakira attended classes in History of Civilisation at the University of California, Los Angeles, this summer.
