"  Congratulations to Shakira! The belly-dancing beauty has announced that she is expecting her first child with her hunky Brazilian footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique - boy, that baby is going to have some perfect genes. CELEB BABIES AND BUMPS The &amp;#039;Hips Don&amp;#039;t Lie&amp;#039; singer revealed the news on her website, after she was forced to bow out of a music festival taking place in Las Vegas this weekend: &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; CELEB COUPLES: THE LOVED UP AND LOVED OUT &amp;quot;This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I&amp;#039;m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there! I&amp;#039;d like to thank Clear Channel and my fans for their constant love and understanding. Big kiss! And will see you very soon!&amp;quot; CELEB WEDDINGS AND ENGAGEMENTS But, for those of you worried Shakira will disappear into hiding with her growing bump, don&amp;#039;t be. The gorgeous singer has been busy working on her eighth album recently, so expect THAT to hit the soundwaves soon. Plus she&amp;#039;s also about to replace Christina Aguilere and take up the role of a judge on the US version of The Voice. A huge congratulations to Shakira and Gerard!
