SHAKIRA - SHAKIRA SICK OF FREEZING EUROPE

Latina pop star SHAKIRA can't wait to get home after the European leg of her ORAL FIXATION tour - because she finds the continent too cold. The HIPS DON'T LIE hitmaker insists she's enjoyed meeting with people from cultures so different to her own, but can't stand the winter's freezing temperatures. She says, "It is fantastic to connect with so many people on this tour. "I've learned so much about this continent and its people but it is freezing. "I do expect to have a lot of fun on stage though, just like I did last night." Shakira's first European gig was in Hamburg, Germany, on Thursday (25JAN07).
