R&B beauties Alicia Keys and Beyonce added a touch of glamour to the slums of Brazil on Tuesday (09Feb10) when they filmed their new music video in Rio de Janiero.

The pair teamed up last year (09) to record Put It In a Love Song for Key's latest album The Element of Freedom and they reunited in South America this week to begin work on the promo.

Keys and Beyonce were spotted filming scenes at Morro da Conceicao on Tuesday.

Empire State of Mind singer Keys shot another part of the video at the Dona Marta slum - the same place featured in Michael Jackson's 1996 promo for They Don't Care About Us.

Meanwhile in other news Beyonce has won permission to play a concert in Trinidad and Tobago - after organisers threw the show into jeopardy by failing to apply for a permit in time.

The superstar is due to bring her I Am... world tour to the Caribbean country on 18 February (10) with a show in Port of Spain.

But the gig was thrown into doubt last month (Jan10) after organisers missed their deadline to apply for a noise variation permit from the country's Environmental Management Agency (Ema) - sending in the paperwork seven days late.

If the event went ahead without proper authorisation, the concert could be shut down and organisers fined thousands of dollars.

But bosses at the Ema have stepped in and granted the application, after organisers complied with regulations to advertise the event well in advance and warn local residents about the concert, according to the Trinidad and Tobago Express newspaper.
