Jay-Z Steps Out Without Beyoncé For the First Time Since Welcoming Baby Blue

Lauren Turner — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:52:48 PST

Jay-Z hit the red carpet at the reopening of his 40/40 Club in NYC yesterday. He was all smiles for the event, which was his first since welcoming Blue Ivy Carter earlier this month. Jay-Z wrote a song for his daughter and released it just days after her birth, and new mom Beyoncé shared her excitement in a statement posted to her website saying, "we are in heaven." She didn't step out to support Jay-Z at last night's bash, but there were plenty of other famous faces, including Ashanti, Spike Lee, and even Warren Buffett, on hand to congratulate the new dad.

Alicia and Swizz Celebrate a Knicks Win Over the Heat With Kisses and Kanye

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz made yesterday's Knicks vs. Heat game at NYC's Madison Square Garden their own personal date night with lots of kisses and whispers in their court-side seats. The happy parents of 3-month-old Egypt were able to celebrate the home team's win against LeBron James's squad with other fans like Spike Lee, Kanye West, Sam Worthington, and David Duchovny. Alicia and Swizz had an additional reason to party earlier this week, when she turned 30 on Tuesday - she's among the many celebs who are marking that milestone in 2011! She was grateful for all the love she received from fans, and took to Twitter to write, "Thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes! I'm so grateful for your love and another year ahead! Blessings and love to my family!" Her evening of basketball with husband Swizz was their latest fun one out on the town, after they toasted his new job at NYU with a party late last year.

Shia Does the Late Show Solo, His Wall Street 2 Premiere Alongside Carey, and an Afterparty With Mary-Kate and Ashley

The stars of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps gathered in NYC last night for their big premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater. Real-life loves Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf walked the red carpet separately, but they caused a stir and screams from fans when they joined Josh Brolin, Susan Sarandon, and Michael Douglas for a group photo. Michael, who is in the middle of a battle against cancer, bravely turned out with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones to support his latest movie with director Oliver Stone. Shia lingered at the press line well after the screening began, seeming happy to shoulder the promotional duties for both himself and Michael. We had a minute to speak with Shia about his adventures in investing his own money, and he also spoke about working with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on Transformers 3. He said, "She's great! This is going to be the best Transformers yet."

The gang moved on next to the afterparty at Cipriani on 42nd Street, where Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen broke from their fashion duties and preparations for their Paris show to toast Carey. Mary-Kate and Ashley also had some celebrating to do after finally selling the NYC apartment they've had on the market for five years. Shia had previously started the day by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange with Carey, then he went solo to keep the interviews coming at The Late Show. His chat with David Letterman airs on Friday, the same day their film hits theaters.

Spike Lee and Robert De Niro Are Headed to Showtime

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:45:44 PDT

Talk about a power duo! Hollywood business titans, Spike Lee and Robert De Niro, are working together on a new series for Showtime called Alphaville. Set in New York's Alphabet City during the crime and drug-filled 80s, the show will focus on the diverse residents of the neighborhood. Both Lee and De Niro will executive produce, and Lee will direct the pilot.

A gritty New York landscape is nothing new to this talented pairing - De Niro's Taxi Driver took place in the very same area, and many of Lee's films have been set in the borough of Brooklyn - so I expect a pretty realistic depiction of this era in Manhattan life. I'm hoping it can be to Showtime and New York what The Wire was to HBO and Baltimore.

The show is just in the development stages right now, so there's no word yet on when it might debut, but will you check it out when it airs?

Rihanna and Jay-Z Rock Their Wear Around NYC

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:00:36 PDT

Rihanna stepped out to do some solo shopping at Barneys yesterday, but on Monday night she was in plaid to check out a party hosted by Jay-Z at his Rocawear space in NYC. It's been a busy few days in the city for Jay-Z, after he recently gave Oprah a tour of his old Brooklyn neighborhood. While Beyonce was busy with her work obligations in Japan, Rihanna looked happy to come out and support his line. Rihanna and Jay-Z are set to team up again soon when they join Kanye to perform "Run This Town" on the first episode of Leno's new show.

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:30:01 PST

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to my selections below you can also add Soul Men, the creepy thriller Blindness, and the first volume of the fifth season of Melrose Place to your queue.

Frozen River
Frozen River won the Grand Jury Prize in the dramatic competition at Sundance last year, and now the movie's star Melissa Leo is up for an Academy Award. I've been curious to check out this performance that landed Leo in a category alongside Meryl Streep and Angelina Jolie.

The movie is set near a border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York state and Quebec, and follows a single mother (Leo) who smuggles people across the border via the frozen St. Lawrence River.

Special features include commentary with writer and director Courtney Hunt and producer Heather Rae.

Two more up next so

read more. Miracle at St. Anna The latest Spike Lee film to come to DVD begins in 1983 with a deadly shooting. A young reporter (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) interviews the shooter in his jail and learns about his experience as one of four black American soldiers trapped in a Tuscan village behind enemy lines in World War II. In addition to Gordon-Levitt, the movie also stars Laz Alonso, Derek Luke, John Turturro, Omar Benson Miller and Michael Ealy and is based on a novel by James McBride.
W. Josh Brolin is one actor who can do no wrong lately (er, acting-wise, anyway) and it's his considerable talent that I think saves the day in this odd, somewhat satirical look at our previous president. It's strange, it's controversial, it has daddy issues all over it - what else would you expect from Oliver Stone? You can check out my full review here. Special features include audio commentary with Stone and a featurette titled "Dangerous Dynasty: The Bush Presidency."
