Forget 100 Years of Solitude--Let's Hang Out

By Rebecca Winters

One alarming fact you'll learn from songstress SHAKIRA'S new DVD documentary, Shakira Live and Off the Record, is that belly dancing causes tendinitis. Another is that she's chummy with Nobel-prizewinning novelist and fellow Colombian GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ, who, in the film, visits Shakira backstage in Mexico City, where he lives. In the movie Shakira describes the author as "one of those people who will never die, for sure not in my heart." The two met in 1999 when Garcia Marquez interviewed Shakira for a magazine, a planned one-hour chat that lasted five. Comparing navel rings perhaps?
