Shakira in talks for $70 million deal

Following in the footsteps of Madonna, U2 and Jay-Z is probably never a bad thing. And in Shakira's case, it could be worth more than $70 million. Concert promoter Live Nation is in talks with the Colombian singer to sign a 360-degree, multimillion dollar deal before the end of the year - much like the $120 million deal they signed with Madonna for 10 years. The contract would include touring, merchandising and recording, and some New York Post insiders are saying the deal could top $70 million, based on estimates that Shakira grossed more than $120 million on her "Oral Fixation" tour last year. Shakira's "Hips don't lie" but neither do her ticket sales, apparently!
