Shakira kick started the proceedings in South Africa performing a song called This is Africa Waka Waka live amidst a crowd of African backing singers and performers which means the World Cup is officially underway. Some photos and videos of her doing her stuff. Business as usual for normal female celebrity news which will be unaffected by the mammoth event that is on a par with The Olympics.
