Fat Joe has partnered with Chris Brown for “another round” of oh-so-catchy music…

The 41-year-old half-Cuban/half-Puerto Rican American rapper—who recently shed 88 pounds off his previous weight of 350 pounds—jams out with Brown in the just released music video for their single “Another Round.”

In the clip directed by Colin Tilley, the pair perform the track on a Southern California beach while surrounded by exotic ladies clad in barely-there bikinis. Fat Joe stays warm in a sweater and scarf, while Brown dons a Versace x H&M jacket.

The slimmed-down singer name-drops Janet Jackson, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna on “Another Round,” which samples Troop’s “I Will Always Love You.”

The track is expected to appear on Fat Joe’s upcoming studio album.

This Thanksgiving week, Zoe Saldana made an effort to give back to the community…

The 33-year-old half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican actress prepared and served Thanksgiving meals to the homeless on behalf of the Los Angeles Mission on Wednesday.

Saldana—who has served at the Los Angeles Mission several times in the past—reminded her Twitter followers that they “could feed more if you log on to http://www.feedLANow.org and donate.”

But Saldana wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance at Wednesday’s event. She was joined by Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

“Their goal is to feed 120,000 people by the end of the year!” Kardashian tweeted. “We fed so many today.”

“Every one of us can do something small that will make a huge difference to someone else,” she added.

For 75 years, the Los Angeles Mission has served the people of Skid Row, providing shelter, food, clothing and professional medical and dental services. It also offers long-term residential rehabilitation programs including education, job training/placement, transitional housing and counseling.
