He says, "One way or another, this is what I'd be doing anyway (making his set). I'd be living out my own delusions of grandeur, drawing comics, imagining that people might read them one day. It's been fantastic. I'm an astronaut. I die at the beginning of the show!" Shakira fears she'll have to write to Matt Damon's wife and apologise for namechecking her man on her new album.

The Colombian pop star pines for the movie star in the lyrics of Men In This Town and can only hope his wife isn't upset with her.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, "I know Matt and his wife. We have friends in common. I hope she's not mad at this. He's one of those good men. He's really something.

"Maybe I should send an apologetic note to the wife and say, 'Hey, I'm taken too, don't worry'."

The singer has also said Kanye West's rude onstage protest at the Mtv Video Music Awards in September (09) was lost in translation for Shakira - she only realised the rapper was not onstage to pay tribute to Taylor Swift when she saw the horror on the faces of the audience.

The Colombian pop star had just presented the Female Video of the Year award to Swift when West staged his protest, grabbing the microphone and insisting the prize should have gone to Beyonce.

But Shakira had no idea what was going on.

She explains, "At first I was kind of spaced out. I wasn't really paying attention. I noticed he'd jumped onstage and I thought he was something actually nice, so I kept smiling.

"Then I noticed that the faces in the crowd started changing. They started to cringe. I realised what he was saying, and it was terribly uncomfortable. We all left the stage and everyone was so p**sed backstage."
