Shakira Has Everyone Going Loca At NRJ Music Awards

As much as we Americans love us some Shakira, we know she’s an even bigger sensation overseas, so it’s no surprise to hear she was named International Female Artist Of The Year at the NRJ Music Awards (bestowed by French radio station NRJ). The oft-YouTubed beauty showed up to perform her bilingual hit “Loca” and World Cup anthem “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” — and of course, abundantly shake her always-truthful hips. Check it out.

Shakira, “Loca” —

Shakira, “Waka Waka” —

From the effervescent performances, we think some of our domestic divas could stand to learn a thing or two about showmanship from Colombian megastar. We especially love the big, exuberant “Waka Waka” number, which miraculously avoids being cheesy and is just a lot of fun instead.

We do not, however, think any of our homeland pop stars should find fashion inspiration in either of the outfits here. Of course, Shakira looks amazing, but bikini tops and skirts/pants with dangling tassels is the kind of thing you can only get away with if you’re smoking hot and South American.

Is Zac Efron Going After an Older Woman?

Is heartthrob Zac Efron going after a Hollywood cougar? Well, sort of. But before panic strikes the teenage population, it should be clarified that it's just for his next movie role.

Efron has signed onto director Gary Marshall's 'Valentine's Day' follow-up, 'New Year's Eve,' according to E! Online. The actor teased his role in the star-studded ensemble cast at the Golden Globes earlier this week.

"I can tell you that all my scenes are with Michelle Pfeiffer," he said. "I'm very excited."

He's tight-lipped when it comes to just what kind of scenes he'll be sharing -- especially whether or not he'll be getting down with the 53-year-old actress in the flick.

"I'm not gonna say," Efron said.

Efron isn't the only star excited to join Marshall's new film. 'Glee' star Lea Michelle also announced she's in the movie, and will be singing a "recognizable" song.

Efron and Michelle join stars Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift and Bradley Cooper, just to name a few.

Alec Baldwin: Rooney Mara Is Going To Be ‘The Biggest Movie Star Of Her Generation’

She may not have had a leading role in “The Social Network,” but Alec Baldwin thinks Rooney Mara has an astronomical career ahead of her.

“This girl’s going to be the biggest movie star of her generation,” Alec Baldwin told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush of the actress, and football dynasty daughter (she has ties to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Rooney family, as well as the New York Giants on the Mara side), who is currently filming her starring role as Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

Alec hit the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and while he was nominated for his own work – on “30 Rock” (a category which Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” eventually won), the celebrated actor said his interest in the ceremony was to praise some of his fellow celebs.

“I got this award three times in the last four years or something like that and they’ve always been very nice to me, but the excitement for me, as I’m sure it is for you, is to see films this year that you really dug and you get to see somebody. Like, I want to go tell Michelle Williams how much I loved her in ‘Blue Valentine,’” Alec said.

“I want to tell Christian Bale how great he was in ‘The Fighter.’ I want to tell Ben Affleck how great he was in ‘The Town,’” Alec continued. “I saw a bunch of films this year where I thought, ‘Man, people really, really have done great work.”

In related Alec news, a few weeks ago, Patti Stanger of Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker” came on Access Hollywood Live, and at the time, she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that she thinks Alec would be perfect with Denise Richards.

“Why did she say that?” Alec asked Billyt.

“She said he needs a woman that can test him,” Billy replied.

Alec actually seemed intrigued by the idea.

“I think Denise Richards is absolutely adorable and she’s certainly a gorgeous woman and I had a psychic once tell me I’m going to marry a woman whose name started with the letter ‘R,’” Alec revealed.
