Facts About Shakira Begins!

Shaki is sneaky. After she

wrapped her tour in 2005, Shakira secretly attended a college course at UCLA in Los Angeles, ninja style, in full disguise. The global megastar wanted to take a summer history class.

Como se llama, bonita!

Speaking of hitting the

books, it makes sense now... Shakira is not only a beauty, but brains as well. In fact she's pretty much Einstein status with a reported IQ of 140, Einstein was about 160. May I remind you that the average IQ is 100! Shakira is a genius. Stay in school kids!

Second Facts about Shakira

But don't be like this at school... when

Shaki was young, she was rejected from joining choir because her music teacher thought she sounded like a goat.

Who's laughin' now music teacher? Being the humble person that she is, Shakira has said she actually agrees with the ongoing goat comparison, "I did have a voice a bit like a goat but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going and it paid off." Darn Skippy it did! If Shakira sounds like a goat, you must sound like asses.

Third Facts about Shakira

We all know Shakira can

work it on the dance floor with her killer Latin hip action, but it actually started with her Lebanese Grandmother who taught her to belly dance to pay homage to her middle Eastern roots.

Shaki a part in his now famous film, 'The Mask of Zorro' in 1998. She was going to play the lead role that ended up going to Catherine Zeta Jones because Shaki felt her English wasn't good enough. Ah, Shakira, that would have been a game changer! Plus, give yourself a break you're penta-lingual.
