Singer Shakira pregnant with first child

Los Angeles - Colombian singer Shakira said on Wednesday she is expecting her first child, with her Spanish soccer player boyfriend Gerard Pique.

"As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days," Shakira, 35, wrote on her website.

The singer, who did not specify a due date, is bowing out of a music festival in Las Vegas this weekend.

In the near future she will be juggling both motherhood and work. Earlier this week the singer, along with R&B star Usher, were confirmed to replace Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green for the fourth season next year of NBC`s hit singing contest "The Voice."

Shakira burst onto the international pop scene with her 2006 single, "Hips Don`t Lie."

Pique, 25, plays for FC Barcelona. The couple first met in 2010. This will be their first child. (AK)

Bell Star Cerwinske Carbon Helmet

Bell wowed the helmet and art worlds in 2009 by joining forces with street artist Jona Cerwinske to create a production graphic that was anything but standard. Cerwinskie, best known for taking a Sharpie marker to a $200,000 Lamborghini Gallardo, used the same freehand technique to design his signature graphic for the Bell Star Artist Series. The intricate, high-contrast, black-on-white design became an instant hit and now Bell has followed it up with a new carbon fiber edition-- the Bell Star Cerwinske Carbon. Reversing-out the graphic, Cerwinske’s graphic is now white on top of raw black carbon for a look that is both high-tech and street-savvy.

The upgrades compliment an already stunning helmet-the Star features Bell’s exclusive Velocity Flow Ventilation™ with FlowAdjust™ for amazing ventilation and temperature control. The helmet’s shape is truncated to create a super stable aerodynamic signature that eliminates lift and buffeting even at high speed. New on all 2010 Stars is another Bell exclusive-the MagnaFusion magnetic strap keeper.
