Shakira laughs away pregnancy rumours

Colombian singer Shakira came to Frankfurt to sign an agreement with the German Ministry for Development to support her foundation, Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet Foundation), which raises money for poor children.

Shakira founded the foundation in 1995. 

It is a Colombian charity, which supports special schools for poor children in Quibdó (a city on the Pacific coast of Colombia) and Barranquilla, Shakira's home town.

But it was another question altogether that interested the world media.

Shakira, who is dating Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, laughed when asked about the rumours of her pregnancy.

After the singer had to cancel a concert in Almeria earlier this month for health reasons, Spanish media set the rumour mill buzzing.

Shakira, however, kept schtum and let her flat belly answer the question.

The Grammy winning pop star is in Frankfurt for her delayed concert from "The Sun Comes Out" tour.

The singer was forced to cancel the Frankfurt gig last year, when the ash cloud forced airports across Europe to close.

Never one to shy away from controversy the Colombian singer has caused yet another stir with her latest video "Rabiosa" or more specifically, with her looks (a brown wig over her blonde tresses) and her dancing (pole, in very sexy underwear).

The track "Rabiosa" the Spanish word for rabid features rap star Pitbull (who also produced with Usher and Jennifer Lopez) and some rather saucy lyrics.

The song is taken from her current album, "Sale el Sol" which already sold over four million copies.

Born in Bogota to an American father of Lebanese descent and Colombian mother with Italian blood, Shakira, composed her first song at the age of 8, and enjoyed significant success in her home country until 1995, when she produced "Pies Descalzos", the album that launched her in Latin America and Spain.

Her 2.001 hit single "Whenever, Wherever" enabled her to break into the English speaking music market, and the album "Laundry Service" sold 13 million copies world wide.
