No, that is not a real-life manifestation of Rafiki, the wise baboon from The Lion King... it's Nelly Furtado!!!
Isn't Nelly cute with one eye open and the other eye sort of closed as she lets out one of the loudest baboon screams every recreated by a human?
Oh, and what happened to her dress? When the moon went down and she suddenly transformed into a close relative to a wild cartoon baboon she just felt the need to rip off the front part of her dress in an animalistic rage? Oh, okay. That makes sense.
Come on Nelly, I bet you can do better than that. In fact, I know you can do better than that because I saw you being smokin' hot for your October 2007 German Maxim Photoshoot. You let me down, Nelly... you let me down.
Anyway, here she is performing at the 4th VH1 Hip Hop Honors Ceremony this weekend. Don't look directly into her eyes though, you may turn to stone... but if you listen to her words of wisdom I hear you can predict the future by cracking a mango open and drawing pictures on the bark of a tree with its juice.
