Shakira Denies Sex Tape Allegations

What appears to be an April Fools Day joke has been exposed as just that, with a representative for singer Shakira denying the existence of a sex tape involving her boyfriend and another singer, labelling the claims as "baseless and malicious".

Insiders report that the rumor was started when Argentinean radio announcer Javier Ceriani stated, "It’s been said a lot these days that there is a private video recorded on a yacht, one that could implicate Alejandro Sanz, Shakira and [her boyfriend] Antonio de la Rúa, but that tape is in the hands of the courts."

A representative for Shakira has denied the tape exists, describing the claim as "totally absurd".

"This is a false rumor. This is totally absurd any way you look at it. There is no possibility that such a video exists. It is a baseless and malicious rumor."

The Girls Hit The Town

Shakira and Penelope Cruz partied into the early hours of Wednesday at the Box on the lower East Side.

The two hung out in the balcony sipping drinks and watching the sexy burlesque show.

John Mayer Is Popular

Sources say that John Mayer has made a new friend in Penelope Cruz.

Penelope Cruz and her new BFF, Shakira, attended an after-party at Hollywood hot spot Parc following John's June 10 concert, according to our witness. But Shaki was nowhere to be found when John was spotted entering Penelope's digits into his phone.

Mayer has been single barely a month since his final breakup with Jessica Simpson.

Something tells me if that man ever loses his cell phone in a taxi, he’s never getting it back.
