...blondification was not a marketing move, merely a whim: "The color of my hair is a completely secondary consideration for me. Latin women are always making these little changes. My first choice was to be a redhead, but the color kept streaking at the beach. So I tried the Marilyn Monroe look...
...true Marilyn fashion, Shakira has become a subject of fascination for Miami-area gossip columns, especially since her recent engagement to Antonio de la Rua, the son of the President of Argentina.

But reality is fragile, and even in that moment, you know she's not. There is a line Marilyn Monroe's character Cherie, the wanna-be singer, delivers in Bus Stop: "You get discovered, you get options and you get treated with a little respect." Real life hasn't quite worked out so simply for Shu Qi, but along the way from Category III to Cannes, she has been...
