Barcelona may fine Shakira for fountain bath and motorcycle ride

Barcelona - Barcelona is considering penalizing Colombian singer Shakira for acts she committed while filming a videoclip to promote her new record in the north-eastern Spanish city, local officials said Friday.
Press and internet images have shown Shakira sitting on the back of a motorcycle with her hair flowing in the wind, while she should have worn a helmet, the sources said.
The singer also danced in a public fountain where fans joined her.
As a public personality, Shakira should have 'set a good example' and requested permission for such acts, which would certainly have been granted for filming purposes, the sources said.
Shakira has been in Barcelona for more than two months, according to the daily Periodico.
A year ago, Barcelona fined the Irish band U2 for rehearsing outside the agreed hours and for exceeding the authorized noise level.
