Shakira launches online baby shower

'Hips Don't Lie' songstress Shakira has opened the doors to a virtual living room that leads to an online baby shower.

The beauty, who is expecting her first child with football star Gerard Piqué, explained that she doesn't want people to give her gifts because the baby already has everything it will need so, instead, she has called for fans to buy things suggested on the site that will be useful to those in need. Shakira said:

"To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us."

Visitors to the site will be offered the chance to purchase items like mosquito nets, polio vaccines and baby-weighing scales that will in turn be delivered to needy families in poor areas of the world.

Once fans have completed their purchase, they will be treated to exclusive photographs taken of the couple back in December last year by Jaume Laiguana.
