  • Music Vid Musings: Of Shakironcé, 3Xtina and ScarJo | Today's News: Our Take | 3/13/2007
    It's no secret to anyone now that my exposure to contemporary music is limited to VH1's Jump Start and Top 20 Countdown, which I watch at the gym on weekend morns. That established, my attention was turned this past Saturday to a pair of vids that had me seeing double, if not triple — not that I'm at all complaining, given the content.First up, there was "Beautiful Liar," featuring what I consider to be the unlikely duet of Beyoncé (whose voice, frankly, I would not recognize in any other crowd of two) and Shakira. But as unexpected of collaborators as they are, the video's concept demonstrated what a fitting pairing they are, at least visually. Starting off in similar yet decidedly different outfits, each occupying their own spaces while crooning the tune, the ladies gradually start looking more and more like each other — Shakira finds a flat iron, Beyoncé bares her belly — until ultimately and rather astonishingly, the two are veritable doppelgangers for e... read more

  • Hips, Hips, Hooray! Shakira Rocks Latin Grammys | Today's News: Our Take | 11/3/2006
    The votes don't lie: Shakira dominated Thursday night's Latin Grammy Awards, taking home quatro trophies, including honors for album (Fijacion Oral Vol. 1) and song of the year ("La Tortura"). Other multiple-Grammy winners, albeit boasting less fascinating abs, were the reggaeton group Calle 13, and Argentine rocker Gustavo Cerati. read more
  • Musical Notes: Latin Grammys' Nods Don't Lie | Today's News: Our Take | 9/27/2006
    Shakira (which I understand is Spanish for "she of the hypnotic hips") tops this year's Latin Grammy nominations with five, including album of the year (Fijacion Oral Vol. 1, naughty-sounding in any language) and song of the year ("La Tortura")....

  • American Idol I have to agree... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/30/2006
    American IdolI have to agree with Simon Cowell: Any of "that lot" could have been in the bottom three, as this performance night was one of the worst in the history of the show. Before we got to the big buh-bye, the wannabes headed off to the premiere of Ice Age 2. Seems like the perfect activity for Kevin "Chicken Little" Covais, but he missed it by a week. Then it was time for a photo shoot, where Lisa called them one "big, happy family." Well, not for long. Shakira and Wyclef brought out the intense energy — I swear, Shakira's hips moved more during the first 10 seconds of the song than Bucky, Lisa, Ace, Kellie and Chris' whole bodies have during the entire competition.
