The Columbian singer has declared for New York Times magazine which is her attitude towards nudity. She said that she is keeping her body to herself, because her mum has advised her to show only her belly. So she has no intent to flashing flesh in her videos.

She said: "My videos represent the artist in me very well, but not the kind of woman I am.
When they watch my videos, people might think that I'm very sexually aggressive person, but I am completely the opposite.
I'm very shy of my body.
The most I can show is my belly.
I admire people who can do nudes for the love of art. I can't. And I wear enough to cover what my mother wishes I cover."

Shakira is horrified when compared to Britney Spears. They both have blond hair, but, as Shakira says, her taste in men is by far very different from Britney's. And she is right, if one compares Kevin Federline - unemployed dancer and singer wannabe, to Antonio De La Rua - the son of former president Fernardon De La Rua. Shakira has dated the last for several years.
