Finally! Hollywood has recognized the cultural impact Shakira has made on the world! If it wasn't for the effing GORGEOUS singer, peeps would still be trying to figure out how to properly gyrate their bodies without looking like they're having a seizure. Sure, Beyonce's done her share to motivate the bootylicious movement, but Shakira's mastered the art of ensuring peoples' hips don't lie -- very different and important musical revolutions, guys. #TheMoreYouKnow

The "She Wolf" singer and very first Colombian artist to be recognized with a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame was photographed in all smiles. The normally sultry bombshell opted for a less exposed midriff (womp, womp) and instead sported a very conservative black-and-white suit. We can't blame her for not wanting to show too much skin -- it can get chilly in L.A.! Plus, didn't your parents teach you that it's impolite to throw your drop-dead, FLAWLESS body in the face of others when being honored with a coveted award? In certain professional environments, it's just classier to leave people guessing what's underneath your clothes. (Ba-dum ching.)

The ever-prolific Shakira brand-new "Rabiosa" video is a colorful affair full of pole dancing, silly string, ball pits, and handsome, well-dressed men. In short: I want to go to there. The third single off her latest album, Sale El Sol (The Sun Comes Out, in English), "Rabiosa" uses rabies as a metaphor for being driven mad by lust; leave it to Shakira to make rabies sound sexy by purring about it in Spanish. The video's festive vibe fits perfectly with the song's seductive Reggaeton beat, bolstered by a randy horn section. And what song about rabies would be complete without rap verse from Pitbull?

Also, this probably goes without saying. but we'll say it: The 34-year-old singer looks amazing here, both as an adorable brunette partygoer and a blonde pole dancer. (The brunette's id, perhaps?) I know Shakira is widely known for her long, blonde locks, but I am really liking the brown bob; it's her natural hair color, after all. Then again, Shakira could probably dye her hair the color of cat barf and she'd look hot.

Our BFF's over at Idolator have pointed out that Colombian songstress Shakira has ditched the flowing blonde mane that has been a part of her look since, well, forever in favor of this fantastic new brunette bob, and all we can say is OHMYGODAWESOME! We didn't think it was possible to have a crush on Shakira any more than we already do, but since she's gotten this whole "hipster barista" haircut thing going on, it seems that our Crush-O-Meter™ (totally scientific and real, by the way) reading has gone through the roof, into the sky and out of the atmosphere.

The 30-second preview clip for her new video, "Rabiosa," shows Shakira at a Colombian party having a grand ol' time with Silly String and some very sexy people. However, she's also taking her music back to her Colombian roots. In fact, the song is very Salsa driven, which is a big departure from her "Waka Waka" anthem for the 2010 World Cup.

Even if this edgy coif is only a wig, we'd love to see her wear it more often. Don't believe us? Our hips don't lie.

Did you know that aside from being an electric performer and friggin' gorgeous, Shakira is an ambassador of goodwill? Seriously. She may be an amazing Colombian songwriter who was clearly channeling Lady Gaga in a concert in Milan yesterday when she wore a billowing, full-bodied hot pink head-to-toe gown, but when she's not busy dressing up all awesome and shaking her [honest] hips, she's also saving children. For 15 years, the international pop star has been heading up Barefoot Organization, which brings aid and education to children in need all across the world.

So let's get this straight: Not only does she have killer hips, a biz-angin' body and skin that rivals Beyoncé in the don't-hate-me-because-I'm-glowy department, even her heart is humongous? Yup, it's true. She recently told "Gulf News" that "with fame comes an obligation and a greater sense of duty," adding, "I have always felt that the best thing I can do with my voice is use it to help others who don't have one, and to draw focus to more important issues like the right to a quality education."

Hottest philanthropist ever? (Sorrrry, Bill Gates!)

The 2010 MTV EMAs were a star-spangled celebration of live music, and accordingly, the EMAs were packed with live performances.

Shakira opened the 2010 MTV EMA with an electrifying medley of "Loca," featuring the song's featured guest, Dizzee Rascal, and World Cup anthem "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)." Shakira's powerhouse performance, which saw Shakira in just a bikini top and fringed pants, was of course not without her signature ab flexes and isolations.

Kings Of Leon brought their soulful Southern style to Madrid with their anthemic, energetic single "Radioactive," complete with Caleb Followill's throaty growl and brother Nathan's haunting "oohs" over a driving drumline and rushed guitars.

Katy Perry lit up the Madrid sky with a literal interpretation of her revelatory, celebratory song "Firework," complete with dancers equipped with pyro.

Rihanna's EMA performance of "Only Girl (In the World)" brought elements of Anthony Mandler's color-saturated video to life, but the performance itself felt very David LaChapelle, with Rihanna, the only girl on the stage, surrounded by--and covered in--flowers and then eventually "Mad Men"-looking men in suits.

During the EMA preshow, 30 Seconds To Mars performed their haunting, harrowing "Hurricane," which included a surprise ending: a cameo by Kanye West, who stormed the stage but invited.

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus performed her latest single, "Who Owns My Heart," surrounded by an orgiastic ensemble of dancers who wouldn't look out of place at an Adam Lambert performance. We saw more dancing from Miley Cyrus, who stomped, punched, twisted and strutted across every inch of the stage.

Shortly after winning Best Live Act, Linkin Park lit up the 2010 MTV EMAs with a letter-perfect performance of its electro-tinged elegy "Waiting For The End."

Ke$ha's EMA performance might have been her most colorful yet, which is saying a lot. Painted in DayGlo fluorescents that doubled as tribal stripes, Ke$ha and her party-or-die dancers looked like they were going to war for the right to rage.

Watch 2010 EMA performances by 30 Seconds To Mars featuring Kanye West, plus performances by Shakira, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Kings Of Leon and Ke$ha. Watch all of the 2010 MTV EMA performances here.

EVERYONE knows that in the world of post-millennium celebrity, you haven't really made it until your fans are able to exude an eau de you. Many of our favorite pop stars have jumped on the fragrance bandwagon of late. Justin Bieber's got a perfume coming out, and Katy Perry's working on one. The list of celebrity perfumes goes on and on. So here's a handy guide to the celebrity scents you NEED to be spritzing.

My World by Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is becoming a household name in the beauty industry in addition to the music biz. Justin's already partnered with nail polish brand OPI on an upcoming nail polish collection. And now he's slated to launch his first celebrity fragrance called My World, available at Walmart. Justin Bieber is planning to introduce dog tags and wristbands infused with his unisex scent in keeping with the current solid perfume accessories trend.

Purr by Katy Perry
Katy Perry's new fragrance, Purr, is due out in November. Katy, who recently officially became Mrs. Russell Brand, imparts a literal interpretation of the phrase "sex kitten" in her ad for the perfume. But Katy Perry loves to tread the line between goofy and seductive. We wonder if her fragrance will successfully do the same. Stay tuned!

Royal Desire by Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera's latest perfume actually represents your fifth chance to smell like the formerly dirrrty pop icon. But does she ever look cleeeaan in her Marilyn Monroe -inspired ad campaign for the scent! (Circa Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, specifically.) The cleavage-heavy shots show Christina in an evening gown, spraying the floral woody musk scent across her chest, which then morphs into a glowing silver necklace. Magic!

S by Shakira
Her hips don't lie, and neither does her nose. Shakira's celebrity perfume, S by Shakira, hit shelves in September. The scent is manufactured by parent company Puig and claims to be a rich, feminine scent with notes of jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and resins. Shakira was hands-on during the creation process to make sure the fragrance effectively emancipates the wearer's inner "She Wolf." She explored all the different notes that were meaningful to her--specifically, scents like chocolate and strawberries, baby skin, balsamic resins and honey.

Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna
Rihanna's scent Reb'l Fleur is due for release in 2011. The elegant bottle, which glows from within, is designed in the shape of an inverted high heel and boasts silken ribbons and a golden ring on the stopper. Rihanna, we're picking up what you're putting down--this is a luxe, luxurious scent! The name "Reb’l Fleur" was reportedly inspired by the tattoo she recently placed on the side of her neck that says "rebelle fleur" or "rebellious flower." We envision (ensmell?) a bold, sexy scent that incorporates an exotic fruity quality, perhaps of local produce indigenous to her native Barbados.

Why is Shakira going wild in the streets of Barcelona? Originally she planned to shoot another glittery production for "Loca," her new duet with British rapper Dizzee Rascal, but then did something a little crazy and let Dizzee direct.

OK, Jaume de Laiguana is the official man in charge of this fun run, yet Dizzee does quite a bit of the handheld camera work for "Loca" (and you can tell because he occasionally points the camera at himself). The "Loca" video's urban locale is a little grittier than what you've seen from the Colombian superstar, with her skating through traffic and gawking fans in Spain's famed city.

"Loca," as Dizzee described it, is on a bit of a "merengue tip," punctuated by bouncy horn stabs and the rapper's skittering rhymes. Be sure to look out for moments when Shakira lies her bare stomach down on the sidewalk and then rinses off by dancing in front of a crowd in Barcelona's Pla de Palau.
