We're pleased to reveal that the winner of our second name that tune contest was Emanuele from Sicily, a long-time Shakira fan who correctly identified the track as Whenever, Wherever Your prize package will be winging its way to Italy soon, Emanuele. Meanwhile, Mickael from France - our first name that tune winner - has received his merch prize package, as you'll see from the picture above.

Also, on the subject of Shakira merch, some amazing new Give It Up To Me lines have just been added to the official Shakira store. Click here to check them out.

We're very pleased to report that Shakira will join Alicia Keys and Usher for a one-of-a-kind performance headlining the 2010 NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show on Valentine’s Day, Sunday, February 14th. The NBA All-Star Game will air live at 8 p.m. ET on TNT, Score Canada, ESPN Radio, and in more than 200 countries in more than 40 languages. Shakira will dazzle the crowd performing her current single 'Give It Up To Me', as well as 'She Wolf'.

The 2010 NBA All-Star Game performances will take place before the largest crowd ever to attend a basketball game - at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

UPDATE: Shakira has asked us to post this message for her:
Thanks for all the well wishes and so much love. You’ve made me feel as though you were all with me today. All my love, Shaki

Today is Shakira's birthday and here at Shakira.com we've just been checking out some of the amazing videos which Shakira fans around the world have been making to celebrate. You can watch three of our favourites on the player above (the first one features some faces you might recognise!).

A big thanks to all of you who've been involved with these projects - Shakira is very lucky to have fans like you guys. If you'd like to leave Shakira your own birthday message, please feel free to add it to the comments below.

The destruction and loss of life in Haiti causes us all to take stock in what is really important. This small country has endured so much - more than its fair share of tragedy. I can't imagine the devastation that has struck an already weakened infrastructure. Critical services needed for recovery, such as schools and hospitals, have been destroyed.

The people of Haiti need our help immediately. Money will be needed to provide urgent emergency relief and I urge everyone who can afford to help to either donate to UNICEF’s emergency relief fund at www.unicef.org or text the word YELE to 501501 on your U.S. cell phone (this will charge your phone $5 - it will go to Wyclef Jean's foundation which is playing a major role in the relief effort. For more information, see www.yele.org).

We must all act. As a global community, we must be part of the recovery of Haiti and its people.

Thank you.

Shakira

Hey guys. I just want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and thank you for all your support in what has been an amazing year for me. I look forward to seeing you on the road in 2010!

Besos,

Shakira
