+ Beyonce got her Carmen Miranda on down Rio way recently. Bey is down in Brazil, shooting a part in Alicia Keys' "Put It In A Love Song" video. Check out her Carnival-themed outfit. NIce eye makeup, gurl. (Idolator)
+ In other "pop queens looking hot on the set of music videos" news, here are some shots of Rihanna from the set of her new video, "Rude Boy." Rocking a black-and-white print body suit while sitting on a (albeit fake) zebra? Next level. (We Are Pop Slags)
+ Speaking of Rihanna (and Beyonce, and tons of other fashionable celebs), ever wonder whether there's some kind of incentive for them to be front and center at certain fashion week runway shows? Sure, some of them may have just ambled in to a Bryant Park tent because they were in the neighborhood (ha!), but do you think some of them may have been (gasp) paid?! Learn all about the secretive world of under-the-runway pay-offs, Rihanna's alleged $100,000 per show rate and more. (E! Online)
+ A little bit late to the party, but funny none the less; watch Brandon T. Jackson (from Percy Jackson & The Olympians) and Eve (from awesome rap albums and movies like Whip It!), in the Twilight parody, Dark Moon. Eve's Kristen Stewart is pretty spot on, actually. (Funny or Die)
+ All Time Low have taken their sugar-coated pop-punk to England as part of the Kerrang! Tour. The tour covered much of England and Scotland and, based on the photographic evidence, Alex Gaskarth and the boys really brought the noise. (Buzznet)
+ Whoa, adventures in Photoshop alert. Check out the before-and-after looks at Madonna, from her new Louis Vuitton ad campaign. Nice bunny ears, Madge! (Dlisted)
