Shakira was nearly murdered by a sea lion!

Yup, those words just happened. Nothing I say can possibly top a rabid sea lion attack, so let’s just jump straight to the details about Shakira‘s scary experience with wildlife from Us Weekly:

The singer took to her Facebook page Sunday to detail how she was attacked by a wild sea lion while on a nature tour in Cape Town, South Africa Sunday. The little guy was startled when the 34-year-old star tried to get a closer look and take a photo.

“Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water so fast and impetuously that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me,” she wrote. “I was paralyzed by fear and couldn’t move, I just kept eye contact with it while my brother ‘Super Tony’ jumped over me and literally saved my life, taking me away from the beast.”

Now that the Colombian beauty managed to get away pretty unscathed (she said she and her brother have some scrapes from the rocks), she’s taking a perspective like that of a zoologist to explain her rough run-in with wildlife.

“I believe what happened is that it confused the shiny reflection of the BlackBerry I was taking these pics with, with some sort of fish. It probably thought I was teasing it with food and then taking it away from it,” Shakira wrote.

Is it too soon to call Sea Lions the Chris Browns of the sea? I’m going to go ahead and patent that right now. “Bitch, are you peeping my phone? The one that looks like a fish? I’MMA KILL YOU, BITCH! *Throws a chair at a window* Arf arf!”

Shakira got a star on Hollywood Blvd!

Shakira

Star #2,454 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame went to Colombian superstar and Grammy / Latin Grammy Award-winner Shakira earlier today. Of the event she exclaimed, “This is incredible … I would like to thank all of you.” Her dedication went further, dedicating the star to her fans and to Hispanic Americans. Shakira has been a household name since her first English language album, Dirty Laundry, with the single Wherever, Whenever skyrocketing her to stardom, though she’s been active in music since the age of just fourteen. The star ceremony comes just days after Shakira was honored with a Latin Recording Person of the Year award. Voting and deliberation by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce decides on candidates for stars, when asked, a celebrity (or a celebrity’s recording/film studio, maybe even a fan group) must be willing to pay a $30,000 “sponsorship fee” for the ceremony, a plaque, and maintenance for the life of the star. To be considered for a star one must be prominent within the entertainment industry for five years or more, notable professional achievements, and an agreement to attend the ceremony, all prerequisites that Shakira has down pat, and she happens to be the very first Colombian to receive the honor!
