Shakira recently sat down with MTV News to explain her 'Did It Again' video frame by frame.
Shaki and video director, Sophie Muller, scoured the globe to find inspiration for the video, taking cues from Moroccan dancers and 19th-century British painters, and recruiting a Florida-born dancer and an Icelandic choreographer for the project.
It was a collaboration between this friend of mine who's a dancer, and me. She showed me this contemporary dance piece that was produced in Iceland. So we said, 'Hey, maybe we could do something like this for "Did It Again." So we brought this choreographer from Iceland from this contemporary dance company, and we worked on this piece.
And I decided to bring a little bit of this painter, [Lawrence] Alma-Tadema, who portrays women in these bathrooms, these Turkish bathrooms, and I wanted to bring a little bit of that poetic imagery to this video. And I remember not too long ago having watched a few women turn their heads in a trans in Morocco. So we brought all these pieces — Moroccan women twirling and turning their heads, and the poetry from Alma-Tadema's paintings, plus this Icelandic contemporary dance piece — and we mixed all these pieces together for the video.
It was a lot to cram into one video, and Shakira needed a male counterpart to pull it off. Luckily, she found a (more than) able body: Daniel "Cloud" Campos, a dancer who's worked with Madonna. He's sick! What he does is unbelievable.
But did she have any problem getting close to a guy she barely knew? Not really — as she put it, people often do more with folks they know even less.
[We worked on the routine] for a few days. Hey, some people just get in bed after one night.
Truer words have never been spoken! What do you think of 'Did It Again?'

La actriz is famous for her roles in Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Drumline, and Center Stage. When interviewed on the projects and roles she chooses, La Dominicana had this to say:
“I just love strong women that are in tune with their bodies—that don’t just use their bodies as sex tools. I’m very dominant—feisty. I’m not a man-hater, just a very proud woman.”
Feisty? We LOVE that and we love her! She looks amazing!
Christina Milian and her husband, The Dream, hit up an Atlanta Hawks game this week. La pareja sat courtside and Christina is looking beautiful, but VERY pregnant! The couple shared a shotgun wedding in Las Vegas earlier this year. This is the first child for Christina and the fourth for The Dream, who has 3 children with R&B star, Nivea.
Luis Fonsi may be dealing con bastantes problemas due to the separation from wife Adamari López, pero that doesn't mean his career is slowing down!
Last night el cantante obtained an award for Mejor Solista Masculino Pop en Español at los Premios Oye!, an awards show in México, and it was also announced that he will be participating in an annual telethon to benefit mentally- and physically-challenged children in México next week, alongside Jesse y Joy and a recovering Alejandra Guzmán.
Pero no crean que todo está color de rosas para Fonsi! He recently revealed to People en Español that he's doing his best to deal con la situación.
"Miento si digo que estoy bien, que estoy mejor que nunca. No lo estoy y creo que la parte más difícil de todo esto es hacerla pública y que se inventen 47 cosas que son todas falsas."
El cantante added that the couple still very much care for each other and that the separation was not due to any infidelities. Bueno, eso si no lo saben sino ellos, and we're all about respecting their privacy! [People En Español; Ritmosonlatino.com]
We're betting that Luis Fonsi will come out on top despite everything y que nunca se dará por vencido! (Oh, come on, we had to do it!)
Ever wondered lo que estaba pensando Rihanna when recording Rated R? We could all probably guess what she might have been thinking, considering all the dramz she's been through (her first single is likely a testament to that!), pero Rihanna herself has revealed the 5 things we didn't know about her album Rated R to MTV.
Check out her 5 aquí to get some Rated R scoop and also find out why she went blonde! [MTV.com]
Que piensan? Were you surprised by all these revelations?
Don't have New Year's Eve plans yet? Bueno, si vives en Chicago, maybe you should party with Pitbull! Mr. 305 will be hosting a party at the Chicago Hilton with a few special guests... the Playboy Bunnies! Hugh Hefner founded Playboy in Chicago, so it's only fitting the bash take place there. Pitbull met the Hef in 2008, when he performed at his Halloween party.
After sipping champagne with 4,000 of his closest friends, Pitbull will take stage and perform to bring in the New Year! Will you party with Pit and Playboy? We're sure EVERYONE would go home happy after that fiesta! [LatinGossip]
If you're on the East coast, you probably caught Jennifer Lopez's epic fall during her performance of "Louboutins" at Sunday's American Music Awards. If you reside out west, you might have missed it - the hilarious embarrassing clip was edited out of the West coast feed. Instead, they showed JLo's jump in slow motion and cut to her standing up. De todas maneras, we're sure you've heard about it by now (and you can watch the clip here too)!
La canta-actriz boricua and mother of 2 isn't taking all the joking at her expense lightly! JLo called Ryan Seacrest's radio show esta mañana and attempted to joke about the incident.
"Did I trip a little bit? I don't even remember. Yeah, I meant to do that. That was part of the choreography."
Um, sorry, pero no te creemos ese cuento! We do give her mad props for her quick recovery though!
Jenny made sure to mention, "The measure of things isn't what happens when you fall, it's how you recover when you fall."
Hard to believe that Lady Gaga only burst on the pop scene el año pasado, considering how much of a cultural (and musical!) phenomenon she's become!
With her new album 'The Fame Monster' out esta semana, and as part of Spankin' New Music Week, the Gaga Monster has put together una lista de los mejores momentos in her career so far. We think this pop diva has accomplished quite a lot hasta ahora, no creen? [MTV Buzzworthy]
Is she missing anything? What about her bloody VMA performance from este año? Dinos, what do YOU think are the best moments in Lady Gaga's career so far?
The fashion forward ladies we're used to seeing definitely didn't bring their A-game to the American Music Award's red carpet last night...
First Up...Shakira. We love her in yellow...def digging the pulled back sexy pony...
But the shoes! Platforms with a touch of a bling? Looks more like Shaki grabbed an old school bedazzler gun, instead of swarovski crystals. Not a good look! She gets a 'C' for those shoes alone.
Alicia Keys was looking lovely in blue...but TOO much blue! Blue dress, blue shoes, blue eyeshadow? Blue OVERLOAD! 'B-'
Keri Hilson who usually has impeccable taste missed the mark in this black sequined mini...and the hair...not her best. We wouldn't have minded a strappy shoe either...the long sleeve dress with the booties..eh.... 'B'
Let's move on to those we did like!
Sofia Vergara looked like a princess in this one shoulder rose gown. 'B+'
Selena Gomez looked effortlessly chic in silver. 'A'
And Jennifer Lopez's backstage attire gets the GOLD STAR! 'A+'
She might have fallen during her performance, but her STYLE definitely made up for it...
What do you think of our fashion findings- Agree or Disagree?
Jenny performed her new single "Louboutins" at the AMA's last night. And while the song was met with mixed reviews, her spill during the performance was PRICELESS! It started well, with Jenny climbing up her dancer's backs.
