I was always back and forth with Shakira. I loved her when I was a kid but then she "sold out" and went ultra pop, but then I fell in love with her again with Fijacion Oral. Even though her music is so-so, her humanitarianism is always 100%, showing celebrities who sit there claiming to care what caring is really about.

Shakira has announced a donation of $40 million dollars to help with the damage caused by a hurricane in Nicaragua and the earthquake in Peru.

Colombian-born Shakira announced on Thursday that $40 million from a foundation that she co-founded, ALAS, would help with the destruction caused by these events in Latin America.

"I've seen first-hand many of the challenges facing Latin America. These are challenging problems that no one person can address, but working together everyone can help make a difference."

She's also making a 3-year, $5 million commitment for projects to help children in Colombia, in a region where 40 percent of the population lives in poverty.
