WTF Is Going On Here?

July 21st, 2008 by Evil Beet


This is Natalie Portman, starring in the music video for “Carmensita.” The video’s for her new boyfriend, Venezuelan singer Devendra Barnhart.

If you absolutely insist on watching this, I recommend you drop a lot of acid beforehand. Then come back and explain it to me.

Also: Are we entirely certain that this guy isn’t Jared Leto in disguise?

    ‘Do you think you can defeat me with your rebellious beard?’

    ‘Crush this crippled crow into mashed bananas!’

    ‘The princess was reincarnated into an octopus.’

    Bahahahaa. That was awesome.
    LCD, much?

  3. amb says:

    I heart Devendra Banhart! I didn’t know they were dating.

  4. anabelle says:

    I think it’s their intention to make it weir and funny. Natalie must really love him to participate in his video without worrying about her actress image and all that. So, she went from Amidala to “Carmensita”? Whatever makes her happy!

    1st, was that Ron Jeremy in the opening?!

    2nd, did he just lick pubes off his sword before he threw it?!

  6. Jessicatx says:

    I like the song and the video. Many music videos from Latin America are kinda camp and kitsch.

  7. sarah says:

    We ARE entirely certain, seeing as Jared Leto has no talent.

  8. Krz says:

    Beet, dear Beet, use your incredible super powers and explode these incredibly irritating spam posters. And then post some pictures of Leo chewing on their entrails. Please!

    WTF?

  11. kily says:

    it is awesome. i just saw a similar one on *m u l t i r a c i a l l o v e.c o m * u may enjoy more there. So many hot singles are enjoying themselves there…

  12. emmeya says:

    I love it! I think it’s kind of like an old school Indian movie and Devendra Banhart is totally hot. Down Unda, since when is licking pubes some kind of rarity?! :)

  13. Neech says:

    lolz octopus

  14. It's Britney Bitches says:

    I liked it. It’s trippy and weird, and Natalie Portman is the perfect person to pull it off. Some of the video reminded me of a really bad mushroom trip though.

  15. momster says:

    Who needs LSD?? That was a trip in itself! It was hilarious and bet they had the best time making this video. I have always liked Natalie Portman and like her even more after seeing this. And that guy did remind me of Ron Jeremy, too! Hilarious!

  16. Sarah says:

    I loved that! It was really funny – I can see why Natalie likes him, he seems like he’s a lot of fun. She comes off as very down to earth and I like her for it.

    Pass it over here, no more for you, dude.
    You’re wasted!!!

  18. Ney says:

    right… :|

  19. B says:

    I love Devendra and I like him even more ever since he started dating Natalie :)

    Besides, whenever I tell people I’m from Venezuela they say:
    a) Chavez
    b) Miss Universe
    c) Baseball
    d) That’s in Italy right?

    so it’s nice that Devendra is ugly and creepy, it helps kill that stupid stereotype that all venezuelans are allegedly hot.

    My favorite line: That’ll teach Rajah to wave his snake at my princess.

  21. numbed says:

    WTF!!

  22. kitty says:

    that was cool.

  23. thefirstlady says:

    I appreciate funky, wild, and weird, believe me. Maybe I’m showing my age but that was horrible. I have always admired Nat Portman and I hope she did this for love. However, (I don’t care how much you love someone) there are just some things you say NO to. Hopefully the film industry will excuse her for taking part in this video while they laugh their asses off.

    Just one peons opinion – Sorry!

  24. bitchplease007 says:

    well natalie is most good, most good indeed. she could never suck or be ugly, but that was strange, and im pretty sure i saw his pubes in the begginning. eww he is so grosse. what is it with pretty girls and ugly men? his fingernails are longer than hers! sick

  25. #19 says:

    They were imitating an Indian movie. I guess they’re supposed to be ancient Indian Kings and Queens? Its kinda like this thing called Mahabarat. Dont ask lol.

    They were definitley on something while making this video O_o

    Thats what you call entertainment :D

  26. Fleur says:

    very very good – bit of time spent on the sub-continent searching for inspiration maybe?

  27. Radz says:

    #19 is on the right track. the movie series ramayan is a huge part of the indian culture and marks the beginngings of the indian movie industry. stories are based off of hindu scripture and mythology. the video was definitely paying homage to the original cinematography…its brilliant. nice work devendra and natalie!

  28. seep says:

    WTF is wrong with Natalie?? I mean she obviusly love him to do this stuff… by the way Im venezuelan and is the first time I heard about this guy. lol XD

  29. Melady says:

    He’s no Frank Zappa, and what the hell was she thinking? Some day she’ll have to explain to her kids what she was on and why the silly man had a line of pubes showing.

  30. Mercedes says:

    It’s called MANSCAPING DUDE!!!!!!!!

  31. schirincharlot says:
