Within hours of Shakira's baby boy being born, people were asking about his future career.

Will Milan Pique Mebarak be a famous pop singer liker his Colombian mother, or an international soccer star like his Spanish father, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique?

"Welcome Milan Piqu' Mebarak and congratulations to Shakira and Gerard Pique. What would you prefer as a present for the baby, a microphone or some (soccer) boots?" Manchester City striker Sergio "Kun" Aguero wrote Wednesday on Twitter.

Shakira, 35, gave birth to her first child Tuesday in Barcelona in northeastern Spain. Both the boy and mother were said to be in fine health.

Congratulatory messages rained down on the couple from both sides of the Atlantic.

Best Buy Co. has enlisted actress and comedian Amy Poehler to get its brand message across in a humor-focused spot during Super Bowl XLVII.

The Minneapolis-based electronics chain said Wednesday it will air a 30-second spot featuring Poehler, fresh off her gig co-hosting the Golden Globes earlier this month, in the first quarter of the big game, which airs Feb. 3 on CBS.

The ad will convey a branding message and comes as the electronics retailer works on a turnaround plan to combat tough competition from online retailers and discounters.

The spot will be supported by a social media component, and a second ad will air after the game detailing several special offers.

A Best Buy executive said Poehler's frank humor dovetails with Best Buy's marketing message.
