Eccentric Venezuelan/Los Angelino merry folkster, Devendra Banhart, shot a new music video last weekend that stars one of our favorite people ever, Natalie Portman (seriously, she's like the nicest person in the world). Oh but here's the funny part. While both Portman's folks and Devendra's folks confirm this shoot took place over the weekend, at Banhart's crazy canyon home in LA, neither camp WILL SAY WHAT SONG THE VIDEO IS FOR. They're keeping it very secret and stuff.

We think that's just silly.

Is it a song off of his recently released Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, or perhaps it's that exclusive Devendra song that appeared on the compilation Portman put out to benefit FINCA, the microfinance charity she's a big supporter of.

Anyone know? We're working on pictures in the meantime.

[UPDATE: It's for the song, "Carmensita," off of Smokey - confirmed by the label. Awesome, we love that song!]

Also, for those who only read this for Idol and Fall Out Boy coverage, here's a primer on Devendra - TOTALLY WORTH CHECKING OUT.

· Dude, some of us know the feeling! A 12-year old Bloomington, Indiana boy was arrested last week, accused of throwing a rock through a Soulja Boy tour bus windshield. His reason? He told cops simply, "I hate Soulja Boy." Seriously!

· The Roots are having a picnic, and you're invited. The Philly-band are throwing a show in their hometown on June 7th, along with guests Gnarls Barkley, Deerhoof, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Diplo and Newsroom favorite Santogold. The Roots' new album, Rising Down, is out in April.

· Speaking of Gnarls and Deerhoof, they’re also on the bill for the 10th annual KCRW World Festival at the Hollywood Bowl. Also taking the stage will be: Devendra Banhart, Feist, Ozomatli, Nortec Collective. and Michael Franti.
