According to Peruvian newspaper El Comercio, Colombian superstar
Shakira will be performing at President Elect Barack Obama’s inaugural
celebration to be held in Washington D.C. January 20th, 2009. Linda
Douglas, a spokeswoman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee has
refused to confirm or deny reports, saying only that announcements on
official performers for Obama's Inauguration are "way down the road."

The Obama/Shakira lovefest began back when Barack was still
campaigning. Shakira, although unable to vote here in the USA, vocally
supported the President Elect and publicly endorsed him back in October
saying, "Obama can restore peace and the world's confidence in the
United States." Obama appreciated the support and said at the time,
"It's an honor for me to receive support from someone with so much
talent, from an artist who has been so generous," referring to the work
Shakira has done with the non-profit organizations ALAS and Pies
Descalzos which help children in need throughout Latin America. The
Illinois senator went on to praise Shakira as a role model for young
Latinas in the U.S. and beyond. Michelle, we'd keep an eye on those
famous hips of Shakira if we were you!!
