Left, Shakira in a promo photo in rope bondage, and right, caged for her album, "Shakira She Wolf."

Pop star Shakira has appeared in rope bondage in a promo shot for one of her videos. It's damn near not bondage, as her hands are free, but her legs are very well tied and her upper body is tied as well, so I give it a pass. I can at least pretend there is an unseen knot back there, though I honestly don't believe it. Still, if you don't cut celebrities some slack where bondage is concerned, you wind up with very few celebrities in bondage. At least she's securely caged on the right. One of the things that I like about Shakira is her knowledge of and skill at belly dancing. She has admitted to have studied it, and her moves in the video for her hit "Hips Don't Lie" make it very clear that she knows her stuff, she does some great hip rolls, and she has some great hips to roll with. Furthermore, she speaks three languages fluently, has some command of three others, and works to advance education around the world. It's like somebody up there said, "Let's see how much beauty, talent, intelligence, goodness and sexiness we can cram into one woman." An amazing talent, of course I want her in Celebrities in Bondage.
