Shakira: ‘Obama Gave me His Undivided Attention’
SINGER Shakira loved meeting Barack Obama — because he made her feel like “the most important person in the world”.
The She-Wolf songstress told Entertainment Weekly magazine that the US President is unlike any other politician she has met.
“I’ve met many politicians in my life, and they always seem a little distracted,” she said.
“But with Obama it was completely different. He gives every person his focused, undivided attention.
“We talked about Latin America, education. He also mentioned to me, ‘I read somewhere that you were going to UCLA to study’.
“Can you believe that? Where does he have space in his hard disk [for] this little piece of information about me?”
Shakira — who has been with beau Antonio de la Rúa for almost ten years — recently revealed she wants to have two babies.
“I’m dying to have a baby. We both are,” said the 32-year-old. “I’d like two and Antonio would like three. So probably after my next album, which comes out next year.
“I don’t think it could be sooner because in 2010 I’ll be touring as well. In fact, my biological clock is already ticking and I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just becoming a physical need now.”
