The Hips

In Any Language, a Whole Lotta Shakira Goin' On.

Shakira doesn't need much to shake an arena to its rafters. No pyrotechnics, no army of backup dancers, no elaborate staging -- not even a pair of shoes.Just her charisma, pipes and hips.

Especially the hips. Let's just say that wars have been fought over lesser hips than Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll's. - J. Freedom du Lac, TWP; Photo by Michael Temchine For The Washington Post
