Robert Pattinson stopped by NBC's Late Night to hang with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night and they discussed a whole bunch of stuff (above).

Most notably, R-Patz LOVES Carrie Underwood (don't worry Kristen, she's married — not like that stopped you though. LOLz!) and one time when he went to Nashville, Brad Paisley tried to sell him super expensive instruments in a special room on top of a music store where they regularly swindle celebrities out of money.

Also, Corky Romano — that cooky Chris Kattan crime comedy — is the only movie that made him "genuinely" pee his pants! In fact, he loves it so much, he wants

Zoe Saldana is portraying late jazz musician Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic, Nina, and here's the first pic of the actress all done up!

Well, we shouldn't say "all" done up because the source doesn't know if there is still more make-up to be added. Either way, Zoe is pretty much unrecognizable!

The movie will tell the story of the pianist's rise to stardom while profiling her relationship with manager Clifton Henderson.

Mike Epps also joined the cast last week to play Richard Pryor, who frequently opened for the musician when they were both starting out in the early 60s.

Check out pics of the woman that Mz. Saldana is bringing back to life on the big screen (below) to see the resemblance!

Ugh! How horrible.

B.B. Cunningham, a keyboardist and singer in Jerry Lee Lewis' band, was found dead in a Memphis, Tennessee apartment complex early Sunday morning.

The 70-year-old was working at a neighboring building as a security guard when he heard a gunshot. He went over to investigate and sadly, ended up getting shot and was killed along with an unidentified 16-year-old.

A resident living near the scene of the crime had nothing but kind words for the musician when he said:

Can A Song Save Your Life?

That's the question Keira Knightley is pondering on the set of her next film. We're not sure of the answer, but we do know that seeing her play the guitar definitely improves ours!

The actress rocked out with a band on the streets of NYC on Thursday while shooting scenes for her new movie about two struggling musicians trying to make it big.

As you may have heard, the other struggling musician is in the movie is actually a very successful one. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine stars alongside Knightley and from the pics we've already seen, it looks like they are getting along great!

But why wasn't he singing by her side in this scene? Guess we'll just have to wait and find out when the movie hits theaters!

In the meantime, enjoy more pics of Keira singing her heart out (below) and try to imagine her angelic voice pulsating through your ears.
