Newspaper O Dia broke the news today that Alicia Keys will be landing in the city on Monday morning with producer Swizz Beats to shoot the video for Put It In A Love Song with Beyoncé. They will be staying at the Fasano in Ipanema. Alicia Keys will attend Beyoncé’s final concert in Rio on Monday night, shoot the video on Tuesday, and leave the country on Wednesday. Rumor has it that the video will shoot in a favela and in a school in Rio. Takes from Carnival at the Sambadrome may also be added to the video, and samba school Grande Rio is already putting the final touches in the Carnival headdresses ordered exclusively for Alicia Keys and Beyoncé to wear in the video (and yes, apparently they are completely covered in Swarovski crystals).

Nothing is more important than family to Beyonce Knowles, which is why the songbird was not only on hand to support her younger sister, Solange, during her DJ set on Tuesday night, but she even treated lucky partygoers to a freestyle a cappella performance! Beyonce, 28, and hubby Jay-Z, 40, rolled up to NYC’s Lower East Side lounge The Eldridge (where the younger Knowles sister is a regular on the turntables) late night on Jan. 26 to catch 23-year-old Solange’s DJ set. “B and Jay were having a blast,” a club insider tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “They were dancing and laughing and really into the music. Beyonce even got on the mic and sang Sweet Thang! She and Jay were having a genuine good time.”

What, apart from a well-deserved break, is next for Beyoncé? Well, if all goes according to some elaborate blueprints drawn up by noted Robert Pattinson aficionado Simon Cowell, then a stint on his hit British series X Factor as a guest judge. This would then make Beyoncé the third pop diva to serve on the judges’ panel, the other two being Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue. Confides a source, possibly Minogue’s unborn baby, “Simon leaves nothing to chance and is planning for the future already. He wants to bring in Beyoncé. And what Simon wants, Simon gets. Expect Beyoncé on the panel. Nothing has been confirmed yet because the deal hasn’t been sealed…but she’ll be there in some form.” Adds the source, “It’s difficult to get A-listers to commit to a six-month slot as a full judge, but a fortnight is a lot simpler. Simon wants to extend the mentoring to the judging panel so you get to hear what the stars really think.” More complications have arisen though, as Cole herself may leave the talent show at the end of its next season, to pursue motherhood or the American Dream.
