Shakira sent her message to her office in Bogota today saying that today is "the historic day for Colombia" because of 15 hostages fleed (including ex candidate for Colombian presidency Ingrid Betancourt) after a successful operation by the Colombian military. Shakira said, "With this victory we are starting to regain our freedom, which is going to be full when the violence stops and everybody, absolutely everybody, will be free, when all the guns will stop fire, and the peace will dominate the war".

The Colombian beauty could join an elite league of music heavyweights including Madonna, Jay-Z and U2 if the deal goes ahead. According to the New York Post, the singer - whose deal has been valued at over $70 million - has agreed to terms including recording, touring, merchandising and other rights.
It is believed a deal could be announced within weeks after 10 months of talks.
Shakira is obligated to release another English-language studio album under the terms of her current contract with SonyBMG's Epic Records. This will be released in Spring 2009. The label also plans to release a greatest hits album.
A spokesman for Live Nation and Shakira declined to comment on the deal.

SHAKIRA SOLD OUT THE ROCK IN RIO SHOW

El Tiempo reports that Shakira's portion of the 2008 Rock in Rio show has been sold out.

El Tiempo: What are we going to see during the concert?
Shakira: It's going to be a show of one hour and 10 minutes. I wanted to change a bit the setlist, the order of the songs and the outfit, which is the biggest nightmare of my life.

El Tiempo: Why?
Shakira: I wish could sing without clothes. Of course I wouldn't dare, because I am very shy about my body, although you don't believe me. It would be something really easy because there is nothing more tiring than costume changes. Picking the outfit for the stage is something very different than to choose something to go out to the movies. It has to work in the show, with certain conditions. It was part of what I had to do before I came, change a bit my look.

El Tiempo: How is it going to be?
Shakira: More or less the same (laughs)

El Tiempo: What did you feel when you knew that your tickets were sold out before than the The Police?
Shakira: At that moment I said that I had to change my outfits. Besides Spain was one of the places where the tour was very intense, and people saw me several times. So I had to bring something new.

El Tiempo: And sharing the stage with Amy Winehouse and Jamiroquai? Shakira: The mark of Rock in Rio is very important and these artists have achieved very important things, and it makes me feel honored to be sharing the stage with them. I will always surrender to the talent and beauty of what a human being can create. From Amy, I love her voice, and from Jamiroquai, his songs.
