We have always known that Shakira isn’t into the club scene. It’s just not her thing. according to Page Six, she decided to hit the club circuit with her buddy Wyclef Jean. Here are the details:

Shakira may shake her hips like she’s been dancing in clubs all of her life – but the saucy singer actually hates the venues and generally refuses to go to any of them. But she made an exception when Wyclef Jean personally asked her to his bash at Suite last Saturday. Still, she had a few rules – such as insisting on a space free of cocktail glasses so she could go barefoot and demanded to have eight bottles of Herradura tequila on hand. When Shakira did show, it caused such a ruckus extra security had to be called. One love-struck guy offered $3,000 to enter her area – but was rebuffed.

Eight bottles of tequila? A little excessive, don’t you think? And about the glasses. She either had plastic cups or drank straight from the bottle. Which is such a crucial detail, because plastic cup equals lame-o, but out of the bottle is totally rad college frat party-like, man!
