Shakira looks amazing on the cover of Glamour as she gears up for another round of The Voice, along with working on her new album and being a mother. First off Shakira had a blast working with Rihanna on their new song,“Can’t Remember to Forget.” “[W]orking with her was utopia. She’s the sexiest woman on the planet. And at the end of the day, we’re both just basically Caribbean girls. The chemistry was so good and so real. She taught me dance moves. She was a sweet teacher.” She also dishes on what her man thinks of her after being asked if her Latin fans have ever criticized for her blond hair and thinner frame…“At the beginning. But my man, Gerard, prefers meat over bone. He doesn’t like too skinny. [Laughs.] That takes pressure off. I already have a lot to worry about. This month I’m not exercising because I have an album to finish and I have a baby. And I like these pastries in front of me.”
But Shakira wants to do more than just shake her booty. “I feel like I’m not on earth just to shake it and shake it endlessly, you know?” She talks about growing up in Columbia and the need for more education. “Being raised in a developing country opened my eyes to so much I cannot tolerate. In Colombia, education is sometimes considered a luxury, not a human right. And it’s not a priority in the agendas of many leaders. I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I’ve been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don’t get a chance to be heard. [The Barefoot Foundation] provides education to vulnerable kids who live in extreme poverty. We’ve built six schools in Colombia and do work in South Africa and Haiti. We teach 5,000 students.”
