Pregnant pause
Shakira
NEW YORK — Shakira revealed this week that she is, in fact, expecting. But it's not what you may think.
"I'm quite pregnant with my album," the Colombian pop star told a reporter by phone — between laughs — when asked whether her foundation work on behalf of Latin American children has made her want to become a mother.
"Yes, I have plans, but not yet," said Shakira, 31. "I'm pregnant with my songs. But someday, yes."
The singer-activist helped create the ALAS (Latin America in Solidarity Action) Foundation, a nonprofit coalition.
Asked whether she plans to write a song about ALAS, translated as "Wings" in Spanish, the Grammy winner and United Nations goodwill ambassador said it's out of her hands.
"I can't control my muses," she said.
