AngelinMusic: You've been all over the place promoting your album, and your latest hit ‘Hips Don't Lie,’ so I have to ask… do you have to use a nickname when checking into a hotel so that people don't recognize you?
HipsOfShakira: I use a nickname, but only so I am not woken up at 3am
HipsOfShakira: I don’t mind people recognizing me. I like it when people in the street call me by my name and show me their affection.
AngelinMusic: All of your hard work is certainly paying off...
AngelinMusic: So what's in your iPod right now?
