Celebs Out & About

TALK TO THE HAND
Rihanna was Jay Z’s unofficial date at the Spirit of Life Awards dinner honoring Doug Morris in Santa Monica last night.

THE LOOK OF LOVE
Witnesses say you could see the sparks shooting between the two of them. I can’t blame the Jigga. Compared to Rihanna, BeYAWNce looks like a worn out seat cushion.

Rapper Jay Z was the entertainment at the Grand Reopening of LA’s Palladium last night. They probably didn’t have to pay the old geezer a whole lot to perform. Any chance he gets to bask in the spotlight — he’s on it. Jay Z was joined by a host of celebrities including DJ AM, who performed his first paid gig since surviving that horrific plane crash last month. And, no, Beyonce wasn’t there.

Actress Sanaa Lathan is so hot that I’m willing to excuse the fact that she showed up at the Palladium wearing a red silk bathrobe.
