Shakira to Arizona: You’re Violating Human Rights

The She Wolf is on the prowl, and she’s set her sights on Arizona. In response to that state’s incomprehensible new immigration law – which allows the police to ask for the identification of anyone suspected of being an illegal alien – Shakira is going on the attack. She’s headed to to Arizona today to get involved in the issue, telling Ryan Seacrest on the radio this morning: “As a Latina, I’m very concerned how this law can impact working Hispanic families. I think that being detained in the street just because of the color of your skin is just wrong, and it’s a violation of human and civil rights.” From the American Idol stage to the rights-violating streets of Arizona, Shakira is everywhere this week! The Colombian-born singer, who is as charitable as celebrities get, will hold a press conference with Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon this week. Like her truth-telling hips, we hope Shakira gives it to the lawmakers straight. After all, Arizona has actually made it legal for cops to make like Nazis and order: Show me your papers! “They’re really willing to enforce the law even though they know it’s going crush the dreams of so many immigrants who would like to have a shot at the American dream like so many minorities have in the past in this country,” Shakira said, continuing: “We all know that America has been forged by the dreams of those people and by their passion and by their contribution to the economy by working really hard, and that’s what Latinos do in this country, is work tirelessly. “I wasn’t born in this country, and I know what a great country this is. It depends greatly on creating union, not division, and I think this law will create chaos and create division instead of progress and union, and I don’t think it’s fair.” We’d love to see anyone argue with that.

Jon Gosselin Lawyers Up For Custody Fight (Again)

Jon Gosselin has hired a new attorney to represent him in his custody battle with his wife Kate Gosselin. She should expect to be fired by mid-May. Family law expert Mary Vidas will now handle the lawyering for the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, who recently fired his last attorney, Anthony List. That dude repeatedly blasted Kate, after which Jon claimed List never represented him. Guy has issues keeping attorneys and girlfriends straight. Kate’s lawyer Mark Momjian, has been notified that Vidas is now handling the case , though, so it looks like Jon actually did green light this move. We wouldn’t get too comfortable if we were Mary Vidas, though. Or Ellen Ross . Jon with the kids! Smiling kids! Must be an old, old photo. Despite bracing for a court battle, Jon says he wants to resolve things amicably with his ex-wife regarding future child support and custody terms. Reports that Jon was about to drop his custody lawsuit surfaced yesterday, and sources say Jon and Kate are working behind the scenes on this. At issue: Jon being broke, and wanting to spend more time with the kids. We’ll see how that all shakes out. Vidas will represent Jon Gosselin at his next custody hearing at Berks County Court in Reading, Pa., next month. Better bring a bodyguard … Hailey Glassman may try to take him out.
