In a replay of her successes at so many other awards events, VL's Most Influential Latina 2006, Shakira sweeped Mexico's "Oye!" Awards, taking home 4 awards and "a special award for social values", according to Spain's El Mundo newspaper. She looks pretty darned happy in this photo, via AP.

Pobrecita Julieta Venegas left empty-handed after being nominated in several categories.

In other Shakira news:

Pop diva Shakira will donate the proceeds from a concert in her hometown to build an arts school for 1,800 children forced to flee their homes by Colombia's civil war.

The concert, part of her worldwide Oral Fixation tour, will held Nov. 15 in the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla and is being billed as a festive homecoming for the hip-shaking international superstar who last month was nominated for five Latin Grammy awards.

The school will be called "Pies Descalzos" after the Shakira album of the same name, and her charitable organization.
