Shakira swings by White House


Pop sensation Shakira stopped by the White House today, meeting President Barack Obama and discussing a topic close to both of them: early childhood development.

The Washington Post has the official word: the singer "briefly stopped by to say hello to the President, and updated him on her work on the subject."

In an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, Shakira described meeting President Obama.

"He's really one of these people who are unforgettable. When you meet in person, he's very warm, and also gives you his focus and undivided attention, which is quite unusual when you usually meet with presidents. Presidents are always, not always, absentminded people, but he's focused. I like that about him."


She said they discussed her Fundación América Latina en Acción Solidaria, or ALAS Foundation, which focuses on childhood development in Latin America.

In other news, Shakira's newest video features tennis star Rafael Nadal.
