Shakira and new boyfriend, FC Barcelona player Gerard Pique, caused quite a stir in the soccer star's hometown Friday.

The lovebirds were mobbed by fans on the streets of Barcelona, but graciously paused to pose for pix with many of their admirers.

Shakira admitted the two were an item last month, posting a picture of themselves together on her Twitter with the caption, "My sunshine!"

And it looks like the glow is still going strong!

Peace!

The fiery Colombian singer just performed in Santiago, Chile this weekend and the 34-year-old still has the sexiest hips!

Props to Shakira whose YouTube videos recently surpassed a billion views collectively, making her the third most-viewed artist of all time - no wonder she's always performing worldwide!

Shakira also posted a documentary online about the Barefoot Foundation, which seeks to ensure the right all children have to a quality education. Watch it below the jump!

Shakira, Shakira!

The sexy Colombian singer was honored by Harvard University on Saturday, being named the 2011 Artist of the Year for her artistic talent and humanitarian work.

Previous winners include Will Smith, Sharon Stone and Jackie Chan.

After the ceremony, Shakira made a statement about Latino immigrants and the United States' various anti-immigrant bills:

"Justice will come. I'm sure. Wherever there is... a kid, who could be the son or the daughter of a Latino immigrant, who cannot attend a school in the United States of America, that kid should be a concern to all of us and our responsibility. I believe we should never think less of the Latino community because it's a productive force in this country."

Despite the fact that Shakira recently split from her boyfriend of 11 years, the sexy singer was all smiles on the red carpet at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France last night.

She even won International Female Artist of the Year and International Song of the Year for her World Cup hit "Waka Waka."

Jermaine Jackson also attended the star-studded event with wife Halima Rashid. Jackson has been stuck overseas after his passport was confiscated and he lost his driver's license. Until he pays the $91,921 he owes in unpaid child support (to Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza), the US won't renew his passport. Scandalous!

Columbian singer Shakira has been with beau Antonio de la Rua for 11 years, but since August 2010 the two have been broken up... sad!

The "She Wolf" beauty revealed the details on her personal blog today, calling it a "mutual decision to take time apart from our romantic relationship."

Shakira calls the past 11 years "the most wonderful years of our lives, and thanks to that love and the respect that we share for one another we have been an exceptional couple and partners."

But the singer hasn't lost hope, adding that both she and Antonio "view this period of separation as temporary."

Hmm, we reported back in late July of last year that Shakira had allegedly been seeing Spanish soccer stud Gerard Pique. Could he be the real reason behind the split?

And her hips don't lie! Sexy singer Shakira continues to prove that she's still got it - check out the "She Wolf" beauty rocking the stage in Glasgow.

Shakira also just published a book with Nickelodeon entitled World School Day Adventure as part of the Dora the Explorer series. The Columbian singer says she wants "children from all over the world to know that through knowledge and education one can embark on great adventures."

As Paris would say, loves it!

Shakira performed live at the MEN Arena in Manchester, UK last night, and the Colombian songbird's enthusiasm is contagious -- girlfriend clearly loves her job, and she's more than happy to show off that hot little body of hers. Ay mami! A job well done.

With Shakira's newest bilingual album, The Sun Comes Out, hitting stores tomorrow, the Colombian cutie is celebrating the upcoming release with sushi from Hollywood hotspot Matsuhisu.

Earlier this month, the blonde beauty released the sexy video of her newest single Loca filmed in Barcelona ... and featuring U.K. rapper Dizzee Rascal.

We can't wait to hear those spicy new tracks!
