The Voice may have lost one spicy Latina judge in Christina Aguilera, but newcomer Shakira seems poised to infuse season 4 with a kinder-hearted, just-feisty-enough zest. In the exclusive video below, the 36-year-old Colombian superstar gamely takes on old-timers Blake Shelton and Adam Levine (after three seasons, she promises a contestant, Theyre almost deaf!), slyly mocks the super-casual posture of fellow new judge Usher (pictured), and even rushes the stage during blind auditions to hug a singer she wants on her team. The competition is on! And dont worry she isnt above segueing into Spanish to get her point across. (Silly Blake Shelton assumes shes referring to a very spicy dip.)

London, March 2 ( ANI ): Shakira , who gave birth just five weeks ago, looked radiant and happy as she stepped out for an exhibition in Spain. The 36-year-old singer joined director Jaume de Laiguana , who was behind her 2005 video for song 'No', at the photographic display, the Sun reported. The Colombian star sported a low-cut top, black jeans and jacket to the opening and was spotted casually carrying her fur-trimmed coat over her arm. The 'Whenever, Wherever' singer appeared solo without her footballer partner Gerard Pique and their son Milan. (ANI)

Shakira posed with photographer Jaume de Laiguana at his art exhibition in Barcelona yesterday. It was Shakira's first public appearance since giving birth to her son in January. Shortly after, Shakira and her boyfriend, Gerard Piqu, shared the first pictures of baby Milan on their UNICEF website in connection with their philanthropic world baby shower. The virtual event encouraged donations in Milan's name and has since raised enough money to fund 80,000 polio vaccines, 3.8 tons of food, and more for underprivileged children around the world. Shakira will soon turn her focus back to business since the fourth season of The Voice premieres later this month. She's a new judge on the singing competition and will join Usher , Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton in front of the cameras.
