Shakira has become a mother for the first time after giving birth to her baby son, Milan.

The singer has announced the happy news on her official website, revealing that he is already to follow in the footsteps of his father, footballer Gerard Pique, stating: ‘Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth.’

She added in the message: ‘We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36 pm, in Barcelona, Spain.

The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification…

‘The hospital confirmed that the couple’s first child weighed approximately 6lbs. 6 ounces, and that both mother and child are in excellent health.’

The singer took to Twitter just four hours earlier to ask her devotees to pray for her during the birth of her first child, revealing to them that she was about to go into labour. The 35-year-old Colombian star was admitted into hospital in Barcelona, where she was due to be induced and give birth to her baby boy with her 25-year-old boyfriend Gerard.

Rita’s Fashion Faux Paus

She’s known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to style. But even Rita Ora seems to be trying a bit too hard as she continues her stay in Paris over the French capital’s Haute Couture Fashion Week. The singer has already been spotted in a number of odd fashion choices at the notoriously stylish event. But she even outdid herself with her latest bizarre ensemble when she was seen strolling around the city with some guy pals last Tuesday. The Hot Right Now singer appeared to be trying to stand out even more than usual as she opted for some garish, brightly coloured Adidas trousers. Appearing like something off a 1970s ski slope, she then teamed up the patchwork pants with a bright pink roll-neck jumper and high-top trainers, which did nothing for her slender physique.

Cougar Jennifer Lopez is still a Wild One

Animal prints and leather have always been big winter trends.

And Jennifer Lopez opted for both in New York last Tuesday, getting in touch with her inner feline in a daring leopard-print ensemble and thigh-high Louboutin boots. The 43-year-old pop star had started her day in a long-sleeve violet minidress while appearing on Good Morning America. But the former American Idol judge continued her whirlwind publicity blitz in the flirty animal-print skirt and matching jacket. Last Thursday, Jennifer and her 25-year-old toyboy Casper Smart announced they had expanded their family to their Twitter fans.

“Introducing the new addition to the family…. “BEAR” #WelcomeHome #Happy,’ the backup-dancer-turned-choreographer wrote, along with two adorable snaps of the pooch. The loved-up couple reportedly also call each other ‘Bear’ and JLo referenced so in her Twitter response: “So Happy! LilBabyBear. Could get confusing Lol!”
