Shakira
Gossip

It's a big day for superstitious TV fans.

Despite the efforts of the morons at PETA, Punxsutawney Phil will prognosticate on the winter later this morning; while Lost will premiere its sixth and final season.

But it's also a big day for one of the most underrated singers on the planet: Shakira turns 33!

Because her hips don't lie, we must also be honest with readers when it comes to this artist. She's ridiculously talented. Shakira has won a pair of Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammys and even received a Golden Globe nomination.

Moreover, Shakira started the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which subsidizes education and builds schools in the star's home country of Colombia.

For her humanitarian efforts and a dancing style that makes monks drool, we encourage readers to send in their birthday wishes to Shakira today...

Generations came together Friday night during the Hope for Haiti Now Telethon, as George Clooney hosted an event that raised an incredible $58 million for the earthquake-ravaged nation.

The function was considered a massive success, as celebrities from all industries united for a common, important cause. Relive photos of the A-listers manning the phone banks now.

Aside from answering viewer phone calls, numerous stars also performed for the audience. From Madonna to Justin Timberlake to Taylor Swift, this was a unique occasion to listen to your favorite artists.

The Hope For Haiti Now album, comprised of singles such as the ones below, is the number-one seller on the iTunes charts in more than 18 countries.

Check out the following moving performances from it. We'll start with the aforementioned Material Girl...

Evan Rachel Wood has questionable taste in men.

Even Marilyn Manson himself might agree with that statement.

But the actress - who will join the True Blood cast on a recurring basis next season - knows a thing or two about fashion. After all, she's seen below in the same outfit as one of the sexiest stars on the planet.

We all know Shakira's hips don't lie, but neither does her appearance in this short, sequined dress. It's hot stuff... but is it as hot as Wood's stuff? You tell us!

Who wears this outfit better?

One of the ladies below wants a baby, but refuses to marry Antonio de la Rua.

The other wishes she hadn't married Josh Duhamel thanks to Nicole Forrester.

Both looked fabulous at last night's American Music Awards, however! Shakira and Fergie both sparked - quite literally - in their dresses the event.

Whose style shined brighter last night? Tell us below!

Who looked better at the AMAs?

For the record, Shakira would look gorgeous with a bald head.

Seriously. Close your eyes, guys, imagine this Colombian cutie shaking her hips and ask yourself: does it even matter what's on top of her head? We didn't think so.

Still, it's our job as celebrity gossip columnists to poll readers any time a celebrity undergoes a makeover. (It's also our job to insult Miley Cyrus whenever possible.)

With that in mind, study the contrasting styles below and then share your opinion on this beauty...

Which hairstyle do you prefer?

Shakira is really ready to let herself go. If it means getting pregnant, that is.

The 5'2" Colombian singer says she's looking forward to packing on pounds.

Those hips may not lie, but they may very well produce ... forget it.

"Lately my body feels like it is just asking to reproduce, to have a huge belly and carry babies," Shakira tells the new issue of Rolling Stone. "My boyfriend is six feet tall, and sometimes I feel like I'm his keychain, a small thing."

But while the Grammy winner, currently in a nine-year, monogamous relationship with investment banker Antonio de la Rua, has long harbored a maternal instinct, don't expect her to walk down the aisle any time soon. Or at all.

Can Shakira conquer the world? You mean she hasn't already?

"We live in a society that represses women's subconscious dreams," Shakira, who considers herself a die-hard feminist, says in her opposition to marriage.

"You know, women have to make enormous efforts through life, much larger than men. We deal with so much pressure, such as the pressure of aesthetics."

"Society wants us to deliver our performances as mothers, daughters and wives."

"It's funny how the papers want to see you married, and then they want to see you divorced," she continues. "Well, I won't do any of it, at any point."

As long as she keeps cranking out the hit songs and posing for magazines like this, we are perfectly fine with that. Besides, she's legally on the market!

While pretty much everyone alive is ready to slap Kanye West in the face this morning, following his interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at this year's Video Music Awards, there are two people happy about the outburst:

Pink and Shakira.

These one-named singers commited the ultimate fashion faux pas, arriving at the event in the same dress. For shame!

Fortunately for the pair, however, Kanye stole every headline from the ceremony. Still, the singers do need to answer for their mistake in the form of a Fashion Face-Off.

Compare the looks below and then vote in our poll:

Who looks better in this dress?

Shakira's hips? They don't lie.

But does her hair have the ability to successfully go from curly to straight?

Such a question was on the mind of our staff this week, as the sultry singer uncurled her locks for a Presidential Inauguration ball appearance Tuesday night.

Which Shakira hairstyle do you prefer?

Don't expect Shakira and longtime boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa to follow in the engaged footsteps of Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas. At least not yet.

"We'll get married eventually, or we won't, but we're together and that's what matters," the Colombian pop star said to peopleenespanol.com. "We love each other and we want to stay like that. Why fix something that's not broken?"

Which isn't to say that Shakira doesn't love being in love. Speaking about the emotion, she said:

"It's my primary nourishment. I think that nothing else in life, not even your career or music â€" well, what I'm saying is a bold statement â€" I think that nothing can substitute love as the propelling force of everyone's lives. It's number one on my list of priorities, of course."

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas can relate.

Hamburg, Germany got the first taste of Oral Fixation last night - as Shakira kicked off the tour by that name in the European city.

The charitable star is a hit across the world because, well, have you ever seen her dance? Put her on a dance floor with good friend, Fergie, and watch them burn it up like Left Eye taking down Andre Rison's house.

But anyway.

The Hollywood Gossip figured we'd post a Shakira picture from last night's show below. It may not be Eva Longoria nude - but unattractive it's not.
