Shakira has a whale of a time at the Seaquarium in Miami! If you've ever wondered if there was going to be a time in your life that you were going to be jealous of a killer whale (and really, who hasn't pondered that?), it's probably going to be right now. Mainly because this particular whale got to share a smooch with the flawless Shakira . Step aside, Shamu -- this whale's boss now. The " She Wolf " singer was snapped enjoying some PDA while visiting the Miami Seaquarium with her soccer superstar boyfriend, Gerard Pique. We're just really happy to see that Shakira is at peace with water creatures after that cray sea lion attack that went down this past winter when it mistook her phone for a fish ! But judging by the insanely content look on the critter's face (who knew whales had "looks"?), we're thinking this whale's just hungry for all the Shakira attention it can get -- those fins don't lie.

Adorable Shakira would love to dance her way into your life and put a song in your heart. Just like a celebrity, this 2-year-old Chihuahua mix attracts a lot of attention from visitors with her heart-melting face and tiny, 9-pound body.

PITBULL FEAT. SHAKIRAGet It Started (3:56)Producer:Writer:Publisher:RCA/Mr. 305 /Polo Grounds Following the success of the "Men in Black 3" soundtrack single "Back In Time," club-rap hit-maker Pitbull figures to have even more songs ruling charts this summer. For the opening single from his upcoming album "Global Warming," Pitbull enlists help from fellow Latin pop superstar Shakira to drive the chorus of "Get It Started."

In other couples news, Russell Brand was photographed at an LA area market with his arm around Hollywood agent Isabella Brewster, the younger sister of Dallas actress Jordana Brewster. The pic was taken the same day (Monday) that the comedians divorce from Katy Perry was finalized.

I agree with everyone. I have been listening to classic rock (mostly) for decades, and listening to my favorite songs of hers is like listening to a greatest hits collection that spans several decades. She uses all sorts of types of music, instruments, and she writes, plays, produces, and has an incredible, extraordinary voice! And, yes, she is beautiful!
