Colombia Reports

Speculation abounds regarding whether or not Shakira has tied the knot in a secret ceremony in the Dominican Republic.

If the gossip rags are to be believed, the world has stopped turning, awaiting confirmation with bated breath. Mira magazine even went so far as to publish doctored wedding photos to appease rabid fans desperate for marriage news - whether the wedding actually occurred being of small consequence.

Shakira has been dating longtime boyfriend and son of Argentina's ex President Antonio de la Rua for nine years, a lifetime in tabloid terms when she could have already married and divorced him many times over by now, preferably in highly publicised rows and passionate reunions.

Terra Argentina and blod Vida Celebridad breathlessly reported Monday that "the alleged groom's father [has] cancelled various political engagements to tend to a 'very important family matter' in Santo Domingo" last weekend.

As for the supposed bride-to-be herself, Shakira has been dodging wedding rumours for years: "[Love] is my primary nourishment. I think that nothing else in life, not even your career or music – well, what I'm saying is a bold statement – I think that nothing can substitute love as the propelling force of everyone's lives. It's number one on my list of priorities, of course."

But are they going to tie the knot, or not?

"We'll get married eventually, or we won't, but we're together and that's what matters," Shakira told People en Español in 2007. "We love each other and we want to stay like that. Why fix something that's not broken?"

Why indeed.

	... Antonio....... you better thank your lucky stars that your father was a president because you are not even in the same league as Shakira as far as looks!

... Bluebird.... as many of us know by now Shakira is an incredible artist, a woman more beautyful and sensual than most women I've seen - but to top that she is also very intelligent and an outstanding person. I believe Shakira is able to see through outer looks and find what a person is truly about, despite being in the commercial music business singing sometimes quite shallow lyrics. When speaking to reporters, Shakira is in the moment, expressing herself in a way that is totally different from other artists who often are nothing but shallow shells. I am not surprised Shaikra is with Antonia de la Rua, and I wish them happiness.

	... Blubird.. I am not surprised that Shakira is with de la Rua, because is an outstanding person able to find inner qualities in a man, despite being in a shallow music business (and herself singing shallow songs). You can easily tell this when listening to her talk, quite refreshing from your average star.
