He tells, “We’re huge fans of Shakira. We’ve mentioned her several times over the course of the series and have always wanted to work with her. She’s an enormous Latina icon, as is Betty, and we thought it was a perfect fit.” As for the plot line, we’re told that Shakira will save a fashion shoot that goes horribly wrong in the Bahamas.

No other details have been released, but if there is one person on wardrobe patrol, it will be Shakira’s fiancé Antonio de la Rua. He’s told Shakira to cover up after being shocked by the series of skimpy outfits the singer paraded in her latest music video. Shakira laughs, “He just said to me, ‘Are you going to put on a scarf?’ as he thought I might get cold! And I did! After that video, every muscle in my body was aching.”
