The wiggly-hipped Colombian superstar claims the incident occurred while on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa.  “Omg what just happened to me! I was attacked by a sea lion!” she tweeted, before taking to Facebook to elucidate on THE HORROR. Apparently she decided to get closer to a group of sea lions and seals because she thought they were cute, when one suddenly jumped out of the water, and came within about a foot of her. “It looked me in the eye, roared in fury, and tried to bite me,” she wrote, adding she was paralyzed by fear and was rescued by her brother, who she credits with saving her life. “We both got our hands and legs scratched by the rocks while trying to protect ourselves,” she wrote. “I believe what happened is that it confused the shiny reflection of the Blackberry I was taking these pics with, with some sort of fish.” Close call. I mean, dear GOD, can imagine if we had lost Whiney AND Shakira in THE SAME WEEK?! (via New York Post)
