Latin American songstress Shakira is to be honored with a bigger than life statue of the pint-sized beauty in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia.

The singer, who is currently hot on the charts with her latest single 'Hips Don't Lie', will be sculpted by German sculptor Dieter Patt, who has donated the work of steel to her hometown.

Hitmaker Estefano is almost finished working on his latest masterpiece - Jennifer Lopez's first all-Spanish album.

"Como Ama Una Mujer," slated for release later this year, features a collection of "big ballads" written and produced by Estefano; he has produced Spanish- and English-language albums for Lopez's husband, Marc Anthony.

Latin pop sensation Shakira has put her Miami Beach mansion up for sale.

The singer is asking $5.9 million for the 6,500-square-foot property.
