Shakira Changed Name And Wore Disguise For UCLA Class
How did Shakira manage to take a summer history class at UCLA in 2007 and not make headlines until after the course was over?
The Colombian-bred international pop star revealed her successful game plan in a recent interview with the UK's The Guardian.
"I used to wear a cap and a big backpack," Shakira explained. "I looked like a boy. I didn't get recognized."

the cap and backpack might conceal the truth, but
the hips don’t lie

That cap must have omni-directional lasers on top to blind passers-by...
… ‘cause that’s the only way I can see anyone being blinded enough to think she was a BOY.
Either that, or Ms. Shakira should seriously contemplate a film or theatre acting career.
Anyway, I LOVE how this story keeps enduring. Our older link here:
Seriously, we’ve got a lovely musical artist like Shakira stopping by for summer session… former-TV-actress-turned-legitimate-math-scholar-turned-author-turned-grown-up-TV-hottie Danica McKellar… and on and on in the beauty and talent and brains department.
Shoot, even the winner of last year’s “So You Think You Can Dance” started this fall at, you guessed it, our own alma mater.
And the guys across town? Puh-leeze.
SCOREBOARD.

I hereby nominate Shakira as Goodwill Ambassador for BruinsNation
Shoot, if the UN can select Angelina Jolie, I think BN can do this.
I mean, some might argue we get more positive press than they do.
