Beyonce & Jay-Z Shot Deja Vu Video in New Orleans


Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, shot a video in New Orleans this week. On Wednesday morning, they filmed at the scruffy Maple Leaf Bar in Carrollton. The video crew painted part of the Leaf's interior and waxed and buffed both the dance floor and the stage. 'They wanted that gritty New Orleans feel, but we were too gritty, ' Maple Leaf owner Hank Staples said. 'So we look all nice and clean for the time being. But don't worry, we'll take care of that. 'Staples awoke at 3:30 Wednesday morning to greet the video crew by 4, They set up lights, cameras and smoke machine. 'With the smoke machine, we coulden't use the A/C, 'Staples said, 'so it got very hot in here. 'Beyonce and Jay-Z ' mostly focused on what they were doing and didn't want to be distracted 'he said 'They were very professional.' The shoot wrapped by 1 p.m., then moved on to the French Quarter, followed by a planned swamp shoot Thursday.

I can not wait to see this video. I hope that it is hot and not hype.
