Shakira es una verdadera Loba en Paris in the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine.  Her new fashion spread in the October issue featuring some of the latest designer couture from Paris is très, très HOT!  (that's French for "very," not a misspelling of nuestro número favorito!)

Just a few days after her super-sexy new album cover for 'She Wolf' appeared, Vanity Fair released these images shot by photographer Michael Roberts.  La cantante colombiana rocked vestidos de Dior, Chanel y Gaultier para la revista, along with flowing pelo rubio and soft makeup.   Que diferencia from the Rock 'N' Roll Barbie look she's sporting for the new album, verdad?

Shakira was also interviewed for the magazine about el nuevo album; when asked to describe el estilo de la música on 'She Wolf,' la cantante described it this way:

I have music from India, the Middle East, dancehall, a little bit of Colombian influences. I always loved disco, so the new record has disco elements, but also house—it’s electropop.

And we can't get enough of it!

But back to the photos... Que crees -- do you prefer Shakira in gritty black leather and sexed-up maquillaje, or in more classic and high-fashion looks?   See MORE pics from the shoot after the jump! [Vanity Fair]

Este otoño ABC is introducing fans to its latest extreme makeover and we're not talking about a new season of Home Edition. We're talking about Ugly Betty.

What does ABC have lined up for La Fea?  An oxymoron!  On the October 9th premiere, a new Betty Suarez will tumble onto grace the screen.  Es verdad, Betty's gettin' a makeover that will take her from busted to bella.  Bid adiós to the poncho for good and say hello to sleek Chanel suits as Betty gets promoted to magazine features editor in the show's fourth season.

For a returning series, a plot twist could be a way to wow fans, but changing Betty's signature socially-awkward estilo could be sitcom suicide.  The new Betty is inching her way towards fabulousity; she still rocks ankle socks but will soon have a metal-free sonrisa.

ABC bigwigs got viewers to weigh in on el gran cambio.   One viewer from a network focus group stated "She looks a lot classier...but she’s still far from perfect.” Looks like that viewer has the cutthroat chops to conduct model casting at Mode, no?

We'll confess, we did see this coming.  Being fans of the original show, Colombian telenovela Betty la fea, we know the story sees Betty from ugly duckling to striking swan.  Pero, will U.S. viewers who tune-in for a good laugh and self esteem boost be turned off by Betty Redux?

Ugly Betty shows us the ugliness of beautiful people, right? Whether it's Wilhelmina undermining Daniel Meade, or Amanda making fun of la gente gorda, the true colors of beautiful bullies are always revealed.  Pero, does that make Betty...a mean girl?

As If! We're getting carried away. Que piensas? Are you going to keep watching Ugly Betty gone pretty, or are you flipping the switch?  Dinos! [Entertainment Weekly]
