In order to properly fulfill their duties as characters who swap bodies in raunchy comedy "The Change-Up," stars Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman spent some quality time learning each other's respective personality traits and mannerisms. Unsurprisingly, when the film wrapped, the real-life friends found that letting go of their newly acquired traits wasn't easy.

"Some of them stuck with me," Reynolds told MTV News, recalling a phrase he had used earlier. "Like when I said 'real long,' that's you," he said, turning to Bateman. "I'm doing you right there."

"This guy will motivate you to work a little bit harder," Bateman said, shifting the discussion toward flat-out praise for Reynolds' acting abilities, including his impression of Bateman himself. "[What] some actors will do when you're doing comedies is that, during the time it takes between when you rehearse a scene and when you shoot it, they light the scene," he explained. "You go in your dressing room, and if you have a good work ethic, you'll write down some extra jokes to say when they shoot the scene. This guy, they just fall right out of his head, quickly and as high-quality as Mr. Vince Vaughn. I don't have those skills," Bateman admitted. "I have to write stuff down. He forces my game up quite a bit, so I did a lot of studying in my trailer."

"What a nice thing to say," Reynolds said to Bateman.

When asked if either actor ever felt awkward watching his friend impersonate the other onscreen, Reynolds admitted that Bateman did such a good job that he felt envious of his friend's role.

"You know what was unsettling is he did it so damn well that I sort of sat there going, 'God, I should have played that part,' " he admitted. " 'I should have done that one. That looks like fun.' "

We got to see how Beyoncé would "Run the World (Girls)" in her post-apocalyptic video for the song, and then we attended her wedding in "Best Thing I Never Had." Now Queen B is throwing a "Party" in her latest video, and lucky for us, we're all invited.

According to reports, Beyoncé headed to New Jersey to shoot the video. ThatGrapejuice.net reported that Beyoncé was hanging with little sister Solange and former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and was spotted wearing a fur jacket on set. The song also features Andre 3000, though he wasn't seen at the shoot.

Rapup.com further reported that the shoot took place at South Brunswick's Oakdale Mobile Home Park. The site posted photos of Beyoncé from the set in which she wearing a black dress and little black pillbox hat while being driven around in a golf cart. An old-school red muscle car was also spotted on set.

Local website Mycentraljersey.com spoke to some of the area's residents. "I wasn't expecting this," Bill Flaherty told the site. "There's a lot of good-looking young girls. I'm impressed by the artists doing the painting on the side of the trailer. This is not something that happens every day."

The video shows some of the area's charm, and a number of locals were used as extras in the clip. "We had a call last night to be here by 8 a.m.," the mother of Monica Singleton, an extra in the video, said.

Beyoncé is very busy locking down several videos off her album 4. Videostatic.com reported that Adria Petty, who worked with Beyoncé on her trippy "Sweet Dreams" video, will also work on her "Countdown" clip.

MTV News' request for comment from Beyoncé's camp had not been answered as of press time.

Hot Pics: Penelope Cruz Sexy in a Swimsuit With Shirtless Javier and Baby Leo!

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem entertained their adorable little Leo during a family vacation in Southern Italy this week. Penelope looked hot in her white swimsuit, which showed off her amazing postbaby body as she took a dip and cuddled close to her husband and son. Penelope and Javier also shared a sweet kiss and took turns doting on Leo as they sat by the ocean, enjoyed the gorgeous view, and took turns swimming. Shirtless Javier is quite easy on the eyes as well as he sweetly held onto Leo. Penelope has been busy working on her new Woody Allen movie Bop Decameron and is taking advantage of her time off with this family-filled getaway. Javier and Penelope also had some special visitors last month when her brother, Eduardo Cruz, brought his girlfriend, Eva Longoria, to meet his baby nephew.

Cameron Diaz: Tired City of Angels Touch Down

Returning home after a romantic Miami, Florida rendezvous with baseball playing beau Alex Rodriguez, Cameron Diaz arrived into LAX airport in Los Angeles, California earlier today (August 4).

The "Box" actress looked to be a bit tired, yet fashionably put together, as she traveled clad in a white fedora, cream jacket, skinny jeans and nude-colored sandals while making her way through the metro terminal.

Cameron, who is on break from filming her latest project "What to Expect When You're Expecting," took to the sun and sand of southern Florida alongside her ailing NY Yankees slugger boyfriend - who is currently in ongoing rehab for an injury to his right knee.

Miss Diaz is expected to make an appearance at Sunday's (August 7) Teen Choice Awards, where she received a nomination for her too-hot role in "Bad Teacher."
