Shakira is having a crush on Robert Pattinson? Perhaps a little. “I love TwilightShakira told MTV News recently. “I can’t say what I love about Twilight. Perhaps it’s our heartthrob, vampire Edward Cullen who’s captured her heart, you think?

“Does the first name begin with Robert and the second name end with Pattinson?” MTV News’ Kash wondered. “No, no, no,” Shakira bursting into laughter. “I’m too old. I can’t say those things.” Fighting off a case of the giggles, Shakira added, “I mean, how old is he — 23? 24? … You are getting me in trouble!”

Actually Robert is turning 24 in May.

Shakira has written and recorded the first single off the new album called “She Wolf.” “And then the president of her label said, ‘Have you checked out “Twilight“? It’s about wolves and vampires and things’. Shakira watched it and loved it and Shakira won’t mind doing a little musical collaboration with Pattinson. Shakira said she heard Robert’s a good singer and a great musician.

Shakira, Shakira.. everyone falls for Robert Pattinson, why? He’s Edward Cullen. He’s cool.
