SHAKIRA - SHAKIRA MOCKS SPEARS COMPARISONS

Latina singer SHAKIRA is horrified when fans mistake her for chart rival BRITNEY SPEARS.

The Colombian star accepts both singers have blonde hair, but insists her taste in men is very different to Spears.

Spears is married to unemployed dancer KEVIN FEDERLINE, while Shakira has been dating ANTONIO DE LA RUA - the son of former Argentine president FERNANDO DE LA RUA - for several years.

Shakira says, "They ask me if I'm Britney Spears, 'Are you Britney? Can I have an autograph?'

"What a silly comparison: Shakira would never marry a back-up dancer."
