Jewish Publicist Snubs Shakira Over E-Mail Rumor

The New York Post reports a publicist who is Jewish paid too much attention to rumors at Shakira’s post Madison Square Garden concert bash at Suede on Wednesday night. Several months ago a nasty e-mail went around falsely accusing Shakira, who is half-Lebanese, of making anti-Semitic remarks. When Shakira came in to sit with a group of pals, the publicist ran off, saying she “wouldn’t sit at a table with Shakira.”
