  Is Shakira secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Shakira is celebrating her 48th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Shakira (Hips Don't Lie, Whenever, Wherever, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 48th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Shakira, a cultural icon

Born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll in Barranquilla on February 2, 1977, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Colombian history. Shakira's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Shakira hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Shakira as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 48.

Happy Birthday, Shakira, you're the best!
