If you slaver like many hot-blooded males do every time tiny, exotic Shakira’s belly dancing hips don’t lie, you’ll be disappointed to know that she won’t do on-screen nudity. She turned down a role in Love in the Time of Cholera for that reason – though she has a soundtrack credit. (She also turned down the role of Elena in The Mask of Zorro even though Steven Spielberg offered it to her – but that was because she felt her English was poor.)

Personally, I think Shakira could wear a ripped, tattered gunnysack and be smeared with mud and still be sexy. Ahem. Watch the videos below to understand why – especially the second one, where she’s in a bikini.
