Shakira is one celebrity who is known for being curvy. Although many of her fellow pop stars are stick thin, she's embraced her curves, and in a new interview, says that her longtime boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, is a fan of her curves as well.

"My man, Gerard, prefers meat over bone. He doesn't like too skinny," Shakira playfully told Glamour Magazine for their February cover story, which hits newsstands on Jan. 14. "That takes the pressure off. I already have a lot to worry about."

Among the things Shakira is worrying about are her many duties with parenting and her career. "This month I'm not exercising because I have an album to finish and I have a baby," Shakira explained, referring to son Milan, who turns 1-year-old later this month. "And I like these pastries in front of me."

In addition to her album and mommy duties, Shakira is also preparing to begin production on the sixth season of The Voice which premieres on NBC on Feb. 24. On season six, Shakira will be filling the shoes left by Christina Aguilera, and taking a seat next to the male-dominated cast which includes Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Usher.

While the boys certainly keep Shakira entertained during filming, she admits that it has been a bit difficult in the past, being the only female.

"Dealing with boys at work and being the only girl can be challenging," she says. "I have my insecurities, but I've learned I have to be a good sport. I have to be able to take certain jokes and not take them personally. There are jokes made almost every second of the day. I had to develop a tough hide."
