Hugo Bops

Shakira And The Moral Fixation Tour

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez welcomed Colombian pop singer Shakira and said he might go undercover to watch the hip-shaking superstar perform. Chavez said he'd donned a wig recently and that not even his bodyguards had been able to recognise him. ``Maybe I'll put on a wig and go see Shakira,'' he quipped. Shakira, of course, is on her Oral Fixation tour. According to the news website IrishExaminer.com, Chavez intervened to allow Shakira to perform to 10,000 fans on the weekend. Chavez claims the singer was unable to find a suitable site in the capital, Caracas, until he granted her permission to use a military air base that was critical to a coup in 2002.
