"I never went to the gym before in my life. But at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort."

Monday night, Shakira attended the Rolling Stone cover and release party for her new album at the The Bowery Hotel in NYC and decided to have the dreads make a comeback.

We'd like this look better when she had black hair. Blonde, not such much.

What do U think?

With Rihanna's new album Rated R being released on November 23rd, the singer and her people are doing everything they can to make sure it's a success, especially after the mixed reaction the first few singles have received. AND also considering that so many artists are releasing their albums that same day like Adam Lambert, Shakira, and even our lovely Lady GaGa.

So RiRi has teamed up with Nokia to do something special.

On November 16th, Nokia will stream a live performance of Rihanna in London for fans to get an exclusive first listen of her album!

The event will allow viewers to preview tracks from RiRi's record and the whole thing will be done from a secret location in London.

In addition to watching this live performance, Nokia will also be offering an exclusive version of the album via their Nokia Music store.

Rihanna has stated, "I am so excited to partner up with Nokia. They are doing some really revolutionary things with this album, enabling me to reach more fans than ever before.”

CLICK HERE to go register for the live event.

We can't wait to check it out!

Shakira's new album, She-Wolf, has already been pushed back more than once and now her label has just announced that it will be released on November 23rd and will contain her newest Timbaland-produced single, Give It Up To Me featuring law-breaker Lil' Wayne.

BAD move!!!!

Shakira will now be going up against Lady GaGa's Fame Monster, Rihanna's Rated R, Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment and Britney Spears' The Singles Collection.

All those albums will be released on November 23rd too!!!!!!

Yikes! She certainly won't take the top spot up against all that competition!

What was her label thinking?!?! They're setting her up for failure!

While Lily Allen is on a MAJOR tirade about peeps illegally downloading her music, Shakira thinks it's cool and has no problem with her fans taking her royalties from her.

In a recent interview, she explained that she felt "closer" to the "fans and the people who appreciate the music" when her music is downloaded, illegal or otherwise. She goes on to say:

"It's the democratisation of music in a way. And music is a gift. That's what it should be, a gift."

That's a nice way to look at it.

Course, it's easy to think of it that way when you have MILLIONS stowed away in the bank!

Yikes!

Shakira, Shakira - you're not doing so well.

We've learned that the UK isn't feeling any love for the Latina as her first single off her new album, She Wolf, TANKED on the charts and now her album has debuted and #4!

It came in BEHIND Madonna's Celebration CD, which has been on the market now for three weeks!

No es bueno!!
