From Contact Music: Enrique Iglesias performed for Gadaffi's sons

Latino singer ENRIQUE IGLESIAS performed at the New Year's Eve (31DEC05) party thrown by the sons of Libyan leader Colonel MUAMMAR GADDAFI on the Caribbean island of St Barts.

The HERO heart-throb reportedly agreed to sing for guests of SAADI and MUTASSIM at the Nikki Beach club, after his girlfriend ANNA KOURNIKOVA befriended the brothers at the Venice Film Festival in September (05).

A representative for Iglesias confirms to the New York Daily News he performed "at a private function".

But Iglesias, who was reportedly paid a six-figure sum for his appearance, was reluctant to socialise after his set.

An insider at the event tells the newspaper, "Enrique wouldn't come out of his VIP area."

Saadi Gaddafi is often referred to as the Uday Hussein of Libya, threatening journalists with death, ordering his bodyguards to fire into the crowd after they booed him at a soccer game (which resulted in the death of several people), demanding to be placed in charge of the country's soccer team, testing positive for illegal drugs while playing in Italy, involved in sports fraud, etc.

Mutassim has gotten into fights with police, is known for trashing his hotel rooms, crashing yachts, piles of speeding tickets, carrying unlicensed firearms, beating up his pregnant girlfriend, beating up a Libyan diplomat in Denmark, etc.

Yeah, these are guys I would want to be associated with.
