Celebrity Style: Jay Z
It must seem strange to rap mogul Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter to wear clothes that are more appropriate for his age. The 45-year-old rapper, who normally dresses like a teenager, attended the “The Great Gatsby” world premiere at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 in New York City.

‘Twerking’ video gets 33 students suspended from high school
This is not what parents send their children to school to study. A disgraceful ‘twerking’ video got 33 students suspended from Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego after the viral video was brought to the school administration’s attention.
Gawker.com reports that some 33 media students — mostly girls — were suspended for an array of school violations. The school’s zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy prohibits “verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the educational setting.”
The twerking video was filmed on the school’s campus during school hours. ‘Twerking’ is slang for a dance that involves sexually suggestive gyrating movements of the hips, buttocks and pelvic areas.
Beyonce’s ‘Insane’ Tour Demands
Even though Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles run a tight ship on the road, word is still filtering out about Beyonce’s insane tour demands.
The mother-of-one who is currently on a world tour in Europe is living up to her reputation as a demanding shrew who is hard to work with. Not only does Beyonce have strict rules concerning food and drink consumed by her dancers and road crew, but she even demands that their clothing be made of 100% cotton! Who does that?
Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, refuses to go door-to-door for Jehovah’s Witness
Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson, 82, raised all 8 of her children to be Jehovah’s Witnesses. Even at the peak of his fame, superstar Michael Jackson continued going door-to-door spreading the scripture and handing out copies of The Watchtower. But Michael, who did not observe holidays or birthdays as a child, broke with religious tradition by treating his own children to lavish birthday parties at his Neverland ranch.
When Katherine Jackson took custody of Michael’s kids, Paris, 15, Prince Michael, 16, and Blanket, 11, after Michael’s untimely death in 2009, the children attended meetings in Kingdom Hall with Mrs. Jackson, went door-to-door as their father did, and encouraged their friends to convert to Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Celebs Out & About: Tamar Braxton, Vince Herbert
Pregnant reality TV star and singer Tamar Braxton and husband Vince Herbert were spotted shopping for baby items at Bel Bambini store in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Their outing was filmed for their WE tv reality show, ‘Tamar and Vince’. Tamar wore a trendy maternity spandex shorts outfit which she accessorized with a pricey CÉLINE calfskin handbag. These bags are all the rage in Hollywood. They are in such high demand among celebrities, socialites and gold diggers that the bags have become the target of thieves. Out of all the high end handbags carried by upscale retailer Jeffreys in Phipps Plaza, the CÉLINE bags are the only ones kept under lock and key to thwart boosters who target high end stores.

Celebs Out & About: Usher Raymond
R&B singer Usher Raymond and his longtime girlfriend, Grace Miguel, were spotted leaving Cipriani Downtown restaurant in NYC on Wednesday. Grace hid her face behind an expensive Goyard clutch. She doesn’t seem like the shy type, so why is she hiding her face? Usher has that “I’m so over her” look on his face. I recall seeing that same look on Usher’s face right before he dumped his ex-wife Tameka Raymond for another mother figure.
