Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, well known for her voluptuous curves, has been voted the owner of the "World's Best Bum 2010" in an online poll.
According to the organisers, the 30-year-old is blessed with "the Holy Grail of Hindquarters", reports thesun.co.uk.
The second place in the poll has been occupied by actress-singer Jennifer Lopez, and Beyonce Knowles took the third position.
Actress Jessica Biel was given the fourth position for her "perfectly plump and toned" derriere, followed by Lady Gaga in the fifth spot.
"Waka waka" girl Shakira, popular for her hip movements in her music videos, stood sixth, and Rihanna took the seventh spot for "being blessed".
Pop star Shakira is terrified the video for her new single is too sexy, fearing the raunchy promo will shock her parents and neighbors.
The stunning Colombian singer dons a flesh-colored leotard to writhe around in a cage in the video for She Wolf. But Shakira was worried about how the footage would be received by her loved ones.
She tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "My parents texted me to say they had watched it and really loved it. A bit provocative, but they loved it. But my mother was just a little bit concerned what the neighbors were going to say.
"No matter how famous you are, you always wonder what your parents and neighbors will say. Parents are like your conscience. My mom saw some of the images before the edit and said, 'Oh my God, is that really you?' My dad said it was very artistic. I have their blessing".
I showed his parents the video and the ex-First Lady of Argentina thought it was sexy but classy
And Shakira's fiance Antonio De La Rua, the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, was also wary of her appearing to bare all in the video.
She adds, "He was at the shoot and he watched me walk out in the leotard and said, 'Hey, why don't you wear a scarf? Put a scarf on!' Then he closed his eyes and just let it happen.
"I showed his parents the video and the ex-First Lady of Argentina thought it was sexy but classy. I didn't want to look at his father's face".
Shakira will never return to her acting roots — because she was a “terrible” actress.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer, 32, started out as an actress in a bid to get famous –but she was so bad, she never wants to appear on screen again.
“I acted once — years ago,” she says. “I was such a terrible actress, so I stopped. I’m always making up excuses not to take up any roles that I’m being offered.
“I don’t know. I am very unsure about my skills as an actress so I don’t know.”
The Colombian star recently revealed that she used to find it really “difficult” when it came to writing songs — because she had to look up every word in an English-Spanish dictionary.
“Writing songs used to be so difficult for me,” said Shakira, whose latest album is mostly in English. “A few years ago I could barely speak English and I used to write my songs with a dictionary.
“It was a real labor of love and I would sit there for hours just looking up words. But now thankfully it comes to me more naturally and spontaneously.”
Shakira used to rely on a dictionary to write songs.
The Columbian singer's first language is Spanish but with many of her songs performed in English, the 'Hips Don't Lie' star struggled to get her lyrics to make sense.
She said: "Writing songs used to be so difficult for me. A few years ago I could barely speak English and I used to write my songs with a dictionary. It was a real labour of love and I would sit there for hours just looking up words. But now thankfully it comes to me more naturally and spontaneously."
forget their troubles by dancing to her up-beat tracks
Shakira recently revealed she hopes her forthcoming untitled album helps people "forget their troubles" by dancing to her up-beat tracks.
She said: "It's very electronic and dance-oriented, club-oriented. It's designed for people to have fun and enjoy themselves and forget about their troubles and the crisis."
