Some Facts
Close friend of Gabriela Vaca Guzman.
Ranked #9 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World" (2002).
Her album "Fijación oral Vol.1" is #1 on the Billboard Latin Albums chart in September 2005.
While promoting "Pies descalzos," she returned to Barranquilla in 1997 for a huge homecoming concert, the first one since becoming a star. Tragedy struck that night when the venue failed to control the 50,000 fans rushing in to see their star. Two people ended up being trampled to death, and this deeply affected her.
Was appointed by Barack Obama to serve on his Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. Yet her alleged expertise in early childhood education has been under scrutiny by educators who point out her zero years of teaching experience and lack of a college degree.
Personal Quotes
I don't like the competition part of soccer. It's a war in short pants. I prefer art.

I have learned that I am an adult already. And to grow with something is sometimes painful. And its great; I don't say it's a bad thing-but many things change, and many more responsibilities come, and you have more closure in your life, and more possibilities. It's just that it's not as pink as before, but its more interesting.

Colombia is a country of victims, and not of murderers.

I couldn't strip naked. Maybe when I'm 40 I will change my mind. Around 10 years ago I couldn't imagine putting on a skin-tight body suit and high heels and dancing in a golden cage, hanging upside down from the bars. Today I'm saying I'll never show myself naked. Our opinions change all the time.

I am a pop star, but I also have an opinion. I grew up in a country that has existed under the whip of violence for 40 years, so how can I not? You know in my country, a 5-year-old knows not only of Disney and Mickey Mouse but of guerrillas and paramilitaries. You grow up with that kind of awareness, of what the world is really like. To be political in my country doesn't mean you want to run for presidency, to be political simply means to have an opinion
