The flight comes after Shakira and Gerard are said to have shacked up in his apartment to celebrate their joint birthdays over the past week.

As for the travel plans, the "Waka Waka" singer is set to be honored as Artist of the Year by the Harvard Foundation during the Cultural Rhythms festival on February 26th.

"The students and faculty of the Harvard Foundation are honored to present multi-platinum artist Shakira with the 2011 Artist of the Year award," said S. Allen Counter, director of the Harvard Foundation. "Her contributions to music and distinguished history of creativity have been applauded by people throughout the world, and she is greatly admired worldwide for her humanitarian efforts through her Barefoot Foundation."

It's not uncommon for clothes that hit the runway to be over-the-top or extravagant, but at the Tracy Reese show during New York fashion week, it was all about wearability.

Reese presented a collection that featured feminine frocks and loose tunics in a range of colors during her show.

"It was really about texture," Reese told MTV News. "Texture, comfort, protection, glamour: How do we put all those together and create some really cool looks?"

Reese combined her key elements to produce a variety of original styles, from an eye-catching full-sleeved, hot-pink dress to a black-and-white number in alternating patterns.

"She's a total champion of individuality and walking to the beat of your own tune," said actress Gabrielle Union, who was in the audience alongside Julia Stiles.

Fur, a big trend on the runways this year, was also a key element of some of her pieces, including a turquoise dress that was accented with a black belt and fur neck wrap and a white dress with silver accents, which Reese paired with a beige fur coat.

Reese didn't stray from her message of accessibility when it came to styling her models' hair. "I wanted the hair to be simple and tousled like something you could do yourself and it gives a relaxed feeling to the clothing," Reese said.

To achieve the look, TRESemmé celebrity stylist Jeanie Syfu used a curling iron to produce reverse waves, which she topped off with sprayed-on colored highlights to match each girl's look.

Birthday Girl Rihanna's NBA All-Star Game Performance

Spending her 23rd birthday tending to center spotlight performing duties, Rihanna offered up a sizzling halftime show during the 2011 NBA All-Star Game at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 20).

The Barbadian beauty took the stage as she kicked things off with a rendition of her career-launching single "Umbrella" before transitioning into her hot new hit "Only Girl In the World".

Also delivering an energetic rendition of "Rude Boy," RiRi was then joined onstage by Canadian rapper Drake for their chart-topping duet "What's My Name?" - during which Drake changed up the lyrics to offer up birthday wishes to Rihanna.

Closing things out to the delight of the packed crowd, Kanye West
emerged for the final song of the evening as he and Rihanna performed "All of the Lights" - which just saw in the release of its music video directed by Hype Williams the previous day.

Once finished up with the show, Rihanna changed into something more comfortable and grabbed up a seat alongside Justin Bieber as the pair watched the Western Conference team beat the Eastern Conference squad by a score of 148-143. Kobe Bryant was named MVP.
