/ Shakira Wins: Ex-Boyfriend's Lawsuit Dismissed, Singer "Could Not Be Happier Now

Case closed. E! News has learned that a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed against Shakira by her former boyfriend, Antonio de la Rua. The California lawsuit was one of three suits that de la Rua filed against the Colombian crossover star, seeking to claim a "partnership" interest in Shakira's income, and all three were shut down by the court. "I am very grateful that the courts are not allowing these groundless lawsuits to proceed," the new mom said in a statement. "I have moved on in my life and could not be happier now. I hope this harassment will now come to an end." A Swiss judge, ruling in the case that de la Rua filed in Geneva, held that the 2006 agreement "decisively" compelled the conclusion that Shakira and her ex were never legal partners. "In a fifteen page well-reasoned opinion the Swiss court dismissed all of Mr. de la Rúa's claims that he was entitled to any participation in Shakira's past, current or future business, brand or assets, including future income," the singer's attorney, Ezequiel Camerini, said in a statement to E! News.

Shakira & Boyfriend Gerard Piqué Share Sweet Photos from Hawaiian Vacation

Shakira enjoyed some time away with her main squeeze Gerard Piqué. The duo spent some time on a Hawaiian getaway recently, and they made sure to keep fans posted on just how great of a time the pair were having while away (not to mention how in love these two are!). "Small recap of our vacation," the Colombian singer tweeted along with a photo. The precious collage showed the couple stealing a kiss while parasailing over the ocean and getting their grub on with some tasty crab legs. Shakira's beau also posted a snapshot from their vacation, and this one included a surprise visitor. "I got one more!" he said, and shared a picture of the twosome kissing while hanging out with a dolphin. The new parents kept the party going even after landing back in Los Angeles, after being spotted showing off their sexy dance moves at a Hollywood nightclub shortly after their return. Shakira was probably just reassuring Piqué that her hips don't lie (even though chances are he's already well aware).

Shakira Banks Legal Victory: Judge Rules Ex Has No Claim to Singer's Fortune

Shakira's Swiss bank account is safe. A judge in Geneva has rejected a claim from the pop star's ex-boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa that her assets should be frozen until they had worked out what he alleges is rightfully his. De la Rúa stated in a $100 million lawsuit first filed last year that the two had made an oral agreement concerning their professional relationship prior to breaking up in 2011. According to Shakira's legal camp, the Swiss court's June 18 ruling was right-on. "In a fifteen page well-reasoned opinion the Swiss court dismissed all of Mr. de la Rúa's claims that he was entitled to any participation in Shakira's past, current or future business, brand or assets, including future income," the singer's attorney, Ezequiel Camerini, said in a statement to E! News. Camerini states that affidavits given by Shakira's other business associates clearly indicated "that the parties never had the intention to form a partnership or joint venture." Furthermore, the lawyer says, Shakira and de la Rúa had signed a two-page "prenuptial-type agreement applicable to unmarried couples" in which they "expressly manifested their wish to conserve, each separately, the totality of their past, current and future assets." According to Camerini, de la Rúa—who had alleged in his lawsuit that he was instrumental in shaping Shakira's highly successful image—is not planning to appeal the Swiss court's decision. In support of her side of the story, a court filing this week from Shakira's camp reportedly detailed emails from de la Rúa to her, including one in 2011 in which he wrote, "I am not a partner in any of your companies. You are the sole owner of all of them."

Blake Shelton: Usher 'Gets Under Shakira's Skin' On The Voice

Blake Shelton has revealed that new coach Usher had a sort of magical power over some of "The Voice" contestants. But not so with Shakira. "I think he gets under her skin a little bit, because he sits there and he's Usher," Blake told Access Hollywood's Michelle Beadle on Tuesday in New York City. "He [doesn't] even have to say that much. He just gives whoever the person is 'the look' and they're like, 'Usher!'" Blake continued. "After a while, Shakira started mocking him a little bit. It was getting on her nerves and it should have... It was getting on my nerves." Something that absolutely did not get on the nerves of Blake and his coaching buddy Adam Levine was being hugged by Shakira. "Adam and I figured out after three or four times, when Shakira would beat us out of an artist that we all wanted that it'd be like, 'OK, cut!' And she'd feel so bad about it, she'd come over and give us a hug, 'cause she felt bad," Blake recounted. "So Adam and I started figuring out, 'Man, let's just hit [the button] every time she hits her button -- even if we can tell it's some Latin, flared artist back there that there's no way we're gonna get anyway, let's hit our button anyway, because we know we're gonna get the Shakira hug.'" Of course, Blake isn't sure those hugs will continue. "She'll probably see this [interview] back and she'll - she'll probably keep hugging him, but she'll probably never touch me again," he said. Blake has been enjoying being a coach on "The Voice," but he said he is unlikely to ever take a break from the show, with the idea of coming back, as Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera did for the current season. "I think If I ever take a break, it'll be permanent," Blake told Michelle. "I don't see myself like... taking off a season and then coming back, because to me, if I take off a season, it would be to go start whatever's next." "The Voice" continues it's two-night Season premiere tonight at 8/7c on NBC. -- Jolie Lash
