Shakira 'Gets Video Approval From Her Parents'

Shakira may have turned 32 this year - but she still likes to have her parents approval when it comes to her provocative videos.

The Columbian stunner admits that she was worried what her mom and dad would think about the raunchiness of her 'She Wolf' video - but had to put her foot down and remind them that she was an adult.

"I had to say to them, 'I'm a woman now, this is the way I express myself. My dad understood but my mom was scared what people could think. She said, 'Is it too much?'" She told iD magazine.

But Shakira needn't have worried - as both her parents were pleasantly surprised by the sexy video.

"They sent me an email and said, 'The video's spectacular. A little provocative but spectacular.'"

Shakira releases the 'She Wolf' album this week in the UK and Europe, then in November for US fans.
