Shakira could go to jail - headline thread

[Preezy]

It's over, she paid a fine:

Colombian pop star Shakira has reached a deal with Spanish prosecutors to settle a tax fraud case, just as her trial was about to begin.

The singer has paid a €7.5m (£6.5m) fine - prosecutors had wanted to jail her for eight years and fine her €23.8m (£20.8m) if found guilty.

I'm sure she can convince them that her crimes are small and humble

Thanks to Wikipedia, I now realise that she is a Beautiful Liar who Did It Again. Completely Illegal and the taxman will now be shouting Give It Up To Me.

She paid to stay out of jail already it seems.

So she defrauded them of €14.5m (£12.7m), but now has to only pay €7.5m (£6.5m)?

Maybe Spain should try La Tortura on her?

Anyone else think she looks like Michael Jackson?

Like she's been dead for 14 years?

I just learnt that Shakira had been in a relationship with Gerard Pique. For all these years I had mistakenly thought it was Sergio Ramos. "No Creo" it!

Sounds like you are about to leave in a fit of resentment.

I just Googled Shakira and I was thinking of someone else. Another pop star, it's really going to bug me now as I can't think of their name.

Mariah Carey!

You should have kept quiet. I’d assumed it was an intentional mix-up joke.

Nelson Mandela was by The Special AKA, not Mariah Carey.

He awarded her a Latin Grammy a few nights ago for a diss track she did about Pique. Very cheeky booking from the organisers.

I hope, like her breasts, she was small and humble!

There's a tax cheat in the closet, let her out so she can breathe

Awooo

Bueno.

She does look a bit like MJ here to be fair
