Jay-Z, Kanye's 'Paris' Gets Remix From Pitbull

New version of the song finds Pit and rapper Sensato dropping verses in English and español.

It was probably inevitable, given the song's success and the fact that Jay-Z and Kanye West performed it approximately 736 times during their Watch the Throne tour, but now, Pitbull has put his own unique spin on a remix of "N---as in Paris," called, appropriately enough, "Latinos in Paris."

In the new version of the song — which features Will Ferrell's now-ubiquitous "We're going to skate to one song and one song only" but unfortunately skips the whole"it gets the people going!" bit — Pit and fellow rapper Sensato drop verses in English and Spanish and tell the tale of a pair of "chicos" wilding out in Paris. The accompanying video, which was directed by Pitbull, combines candid behind-the-scenes (much private-jet dancing) and performance footage with shots of the pair rapping in front of the Eiffel Tower and bounding throughout the streets of France's capital city.

Pitbull's "Latinos in Paris" is just the latest remix of what has become perhaps the hip-hop anthem of 2011. T.I. dropped his version back in October, and a slew of other big-name stars — including Chris Brown, T-Pain, Game, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy and Busta Rhymes — have also done verses over producer Hit-Boy's lilting beat.

Despite the song's mass appeal, Jay and Kanye have yet to release an actual video for it, though, during their run of sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Staples Center last month, they reportedly told the crowd that a live clip shot at the venue would be coming shortly.

Katy Perry: Married to a Crazy Man!?


Hardly.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand clearly had their share of problems, but his craziness was not one of them, despite what certain reports would have you believe.

On the contrary: If anything, the 36-year-old Brand, who has been sober seven years, may have been too much of a homebody for social butterfly Katy, 28.

According to sources close to the couple, they tried to make it work, but were just too different and parted amicably. Sad, but nothing like this portrayal:

Katy Perry Us Cover

No clue why Us decided to trash Russell Brand, who (raunchy stand up comedy and Michele Bachmann crazy eyes aside) is really not that wild anymore.

Nor did he blindside her with the divorce, as the above cover says. Russell Brand filed for divorce instead of Katy because of her family's religious beliefs.

As for explosive fights, that's news to people close to the couple.

"I was shocked when I found out," a source told People. "I thought they would be together for a long time. Maybe not forever – but definitely not just 14 months."

"They were always laughing," the source went on to say. "They were very affectionate, always holding hands. They seemed like they were really in love."

Another source who spent time with Brand and Perry said that despite the split, they "took marriage very seriously ... these aren't people who give up."

Long and short: It just didn't work out. But that doesn't make it scandalous.

Reese Witherspoon Covers ELLE February 2012

She's a favorite when it comes to front page picks, and Reese Witherspoon was selected to cover the February 2012 issue of ELLE.

The blonde beauty dolled up the Carter Smith shot spread while chatting about loving her womanly figure and not wanting to perpetuate romantic misconceptions.

Highlights from Miss Witherspoon's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit ELLE!

On why she loves her womanly figure:
?I do have to say, I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I?m more womanly. I feel sexier. I?m more comfortable with my sexuality as I get older. When I was younger, I didn?t know why men were starting to look at me. Now I know why men are looking ? and I?m cool with it.

On her fondness of artists Julie Blackmon:
"I'm obsessed. She's doing really interesting meditations on modern parenting. Kind of like the children are into trouble ? the kids will be climbing up the window, or the baby will be sitting by the edge of the pool while the parents are reading Vanity Fair. It's very clever, and her compositions are beautiful."

On tabloid misconceptions about romance:
"? I'm sick of whatever tabloid stuff or this or that story tries to portray. My life is just as realistic as everybody else's. Whoever thinks someone has a perfect life, I'm so eager to dispel that. I don't want to perpetuate any more romantic fantasy. I don't want it to come across about how effusive or happy or lucky I am, but I want it to be honest with people. I can't be a liar-pants. I wish I could! But I'm just not a liar, man!"

Olivia Palermo Tans Her Bikini Body in St. Barts With Her Boyfriend

A bikini-clad Olivia Palermo and her boyfriend Johannes Huebl enjoyed their annual St. Barts getaway by relaxing in the sun, kissing in the sand, and hitting the waves yesterday. Olivia and Johannes, who were joined by friends, playfully helped each other out with the spray sunblock. Olivia and Johannes have been together for three years, and it looks like the spark is still there between the two. The happy couple have made a habit of their vacations on the island, which is also where Rachel Zoe, Rodger, and baby Skyler are currently luxuriating alongside friends like Marc Jacobs and his maybe on-again man Lorenzo.
