Shakira in trouble for video antics

SPAIN: Officials in Barcelona are considering penalising Colombian singer Shakira for acts she committed while filming a video clip to promote her new record in the city.

Press and internet images have shown Shakira sitting on the back of a motorcycle with her hair flowing in the wind, while she should have worn a helmet, the sources said.

The singer also danced in a public fountain where fans joined her.

Shakira should have "set a good example" and requested permission for such acts, which would certainly have been granted for filming purposes, city official sources said.

A year ago, Barcelona fined U2 for rehearsing outside agreed hours.
