Shakira was born on Feb 2, 1977 in Barranquilla. She started her career with first studio albums, Magia and Peligro in the 1990. She entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service. Its lead single, "Whenever, Wherever", became the best-selling single of 2002.

Shakira continued her successful career with her albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005), the latter of which released one of the best-selling songs of the 21st century, "Hips Don't Lie" which was another hit song of her.  

Shakira’s official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", became the biggest-selling World Cup song of all time with over 1.2 billion views. It is one of the most-watched music videos on YouTube.

The Waka Waka singer has won many awards, including five MTV Video Music Awards, two Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, 28 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Shakira has also been Golden Globe-nominated.

Shakira has 2 children with her partner Gerard Pique who is a Spanish footballer.

The 51-year-old star has been featured in the SHE Canada magazine’s Valentine issue, sitting on the left, holding little AbRam’s hands, while his wife Gauri Khan commands the other side, and Suhana and Aryan Khan are in the middle.

f her most famous songs including "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "Auf Wiederseh´n Sweetheart."

The album is being released on March 17, three days before the singer´s milestone birthday.

"It´s truly humbling that people still enjoy these songs from so many years ago, reliving the emotions of that time," Lynn said in a statement released by Decca Records.

"It´s so wonderful for me to hear ´my songs´ again so beautifully presented in a completely new way," she said.

Known as the "forces´ sweetheart", Lynn famously boosted troops´ morale during World War II, travelling thousands of miles to Egypt, India and Myanmar to entertain soldiers with her songs.

Lynn, who started performing at the age of seven, has won many accolades during her illustrious career.

She became the first British artist to top the US charts in 1952 as well as the oldest living artist to feature in the UK top 20 chart at the age of 97.

Honoured many times by Queen Elizabeth II, Lynn was made a dame in 1975.

Asked on Thursday if she thought her new album could surpass the previous one and reach number one in UK charts, Lynn told BBC radio: "I doubt that."

"It might seem quite tame to these young people, the music. But for us it was very exciting and very meaningful and it meant a lot to people."

The singer, who has described reaching her 100th birthday as "an incredible adventure of song, dance and friendship". It will be celebrated in a charity concert, held at the London Palladium on March 18.

Lynn will not join in the singing, telling the BBC: "It´s best I can remember me as I was."

Whether it is a case of brilliant retouching skills or an actual fake card, its resemblance to an official one is uncanny. It shows the correct name of the Indian actor’s father – Saleem Khan, although he goes with an ‘i’ instead of double ‘e’. Regardless, closer inspection reveals that the image has been downloaded from the Internet.

Some Indian media reports believe that it was the work of a prankster, while others say that a voter actually turned up with this card in the Greater Hyderabad Municipality Corporation polls in 2016.

The icon turned 51 last December, and played a wrestler trying to return to game in the film Sultan.

Produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, the series’ trailer welcomes the audience to a street where a young boy chases the scientist for an autograph. It then delves into the intellectual’s personal and professional lives, both of which continue simultaneously but have wide, seemingly-irreconcilable gaps.

As is the case with such prodigies  – something very noticeable in Eddie Redmayne’s Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Alan Turing in The Imitation Game – Einstein grapples with the imbalance between his surrealistic, ideal world and the real one, where interaction between people is full of hints, metaphors, sarcasm, and anti-theses.

From a very young age, Einstein – who works as a clerk – is shown to be very rebellious, someone always willing to test out his theories, desiring they be publicised, and secluding himself from the world if he gets focused on something. He also has a stint as a teacher, where a tinge of German is heard in his English.

In an interview to entertainment website Vanity Fair, Howard commented, “[…] Albert’s life story—what his youth was like, who his friends were, who his enemies were, his tumultuous love life—is a story people don’t know.” He believes that people are going to love the effort with “this ambitious and revealing human story behind Einstein’s scientific brilliance.”

Genius’ screenplay is based on Einstein: His Life and Universe, a book by Walter Isaacson, while its cast boosts Academy award-winner Geoffrey Rush, renowned actress Emily Watson, Game of Thrones’ Michael McElhatton, and 33-year-old musician-actor Johnny Flynn.

The first season will treat science nerds to 10 episodes.

Fawad Khan and wife Sadaf have finally shared a picture of their beautiful baby girl born three months ago.

The happy couple could be seen with their child named Elayna in a black-and-white photo shared on Sadaf’s Instagram account.
