Shakira’s Uruguay Farm Home Getaway


While the big names in the music business have descended upon Los Angeles for Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, one hip-shaking superstar has opted for a relaxing weekend on the farm.
Latin singer Shakira arrived at her summer spread in Punta del Este, Uruguay on Saturday
afternoon - getting away from the city life for awhile.
While it was previously rumored that the trip was for a possible wedding with longtime boyfriend Antonio del la Rua, insiders now tell that Shakira is actually there for inspiration as she pens some new tunes.
Along with writing music, Shakira, who turned 31-years-old one week ago, is also doing charity work through eBay auctions as of late.
According to a FOX Pop Tarts report, “(Shakira) has just thrown in her own personal jewelry collection and the two signed guitars she strummed with on her tour (for auction).”
And of the money she receives from the winning bidders, “(Shakira) donating 100 percent of the proceeds raised in purging her personals to Colombian-based charity the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which assists needy children in escaping poverty.”
The Smile on Her Face tells alot, She is Doing well.
