Shakira has invited the entire world to attend her virtual baby shower -- and buy a gift for a needy child, to be distributed through UNICEF.

In a YouTube video, her soccer star boyfriend Gerard Pique says, “We would like to offer support for babies who live in conditions of extreme poverty throughout the world.”  Shakira adds, “Thanks to all of you, they will receive in the form of inspired gifts, therapeutic food packets, vaccines and rehydration salts, which will help save the lives of hundreds of thousands.”
