We gave you the scoop earlier and, for a change, it has been confirmed: From next year on, the Brahma Box will change places in Sapucaí after the brewery cede land to the city, aiming to revitalize the area on account of the Olympic Games 2016. In an atmosphere of farewell, the chosen theme for this carnival was "I’m going to miss you dearly." Luma de Oliveira – the muse of the space this year – and the company’s executives received the press for a brunch, on Tuesday at the Hotel Santa Teresa in Rio
* Promoters Alicinha Cavalcanti, Carol Sampaio and Ivone Kassu are keeping the names of the confirmed guests under wraps. Renata Carvalho, the fourth member of the team, when asked about international stars, said the Beauty and the Beast should make an appearance, and Glamurama was thinking it might be a hint to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, a.k.a. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, of Twilight, who were filming here last year…
* The only sure thing is the presence of the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am, as one of the attractions to play in the intervals of the samba schools. Frenchman designer Christian Audigier, from Ed Hardy, is signing the booth’s T-shirts. "My wife is Brazilian and I am proud to make my debut in Sapucaí."
