Pop the Cristal....

Ok ya'll...much gossip to drop so keep up.....

Beyonce' surprised some folks by hosting a concert at Cipriani's in NY last night. Just her 1st of many solo ventures after the D-Child separation:

Fabulous as usual. Many of her celeb friends came out to support:

Well, Well. Venus aint look half bad there.

Finally she's discovering the meaning of fabulousness.

Dame came with wifey Rachel...

...and was smiling with her for once. He must've read YBF and decided to put on a front. *wink*

Ya'll know the Jigga man was there to support his main chick.

Stankmora was lookin less stank than usual...

I'm kinda feelin that outfit.

And B's performance looked hot as usual: {Click image for the large fabulousness}

Venus was also lookin fab at Alanis Morisette's benefit "Step Up Women" in NYC today:

Justin Timberlake hosted a Halloween party on Monday at the Marquee in NYC:

Apparently Taye Diggs decided to go as LL....80's style.

Usher also attended.

Drop down and get ya eagle on girl.....

Ashanti was spotted gettin her lil party on recently. I knew there had to be some crazy reason Nelly liked her.

On the gossip tip: Why was Nelly lookin ridiculously scrumptious at the BET 25 Strong event last night??? That should be outlawed. I swear I would go to jail on a battery charge trying to get close to him. This is not a game. Damn that Ashanti!

Speaking of the BET 25 Strong event, here's just a coupla pics/highlights:

Bobby came out on stage with NE and performed a set. Definitely brought back some memories.

LL was looking quite nice too.

And now for my questions, comments, concerns about that event last night:

1. Why was BET on CP time, even post editing, since the event was supposed to be over at 10p...not 10:30p?
2. Bobby needs to calm down on all this performing. He ran out of breath in the middle of the set and just stopped singing mid-sentence. He too damn old for this man.
3. R.Kelly's performance took me back down memory lane.
4. Why did BET fail to mention AJ and Free in the line up of past/present VJs? Just cold blooded.
5. Bob Johnson has too much money for his daughter to be on national tv with a bad weave.
6. Whitney was lookin fabulous.
7. Rachel was too.
8. Bring back Video Soul!!!!!!!

Moving on...

Stevie Wonder and his pretty daughter Aisha Morris were in Tokyo, Japan today promoting his new CD "A TimeTo Love".

Hold on wait a minute!

What in the heezy??? Why was Mariah up on TRL yesterday lookin the plum fool in that outfit?

In more fabulous news, the LA launch party for "The Boondocks" cartoon went down at the now infamous Club Mood last night:

MJB was back to her more glamorous self at Glamour's Women of the Year event today in NYC:

And David Allen Grier came to show support:

Here's some pics from the set of Jaime Foxx's new video "Unpredictable" that was shot yesterday:

Big Luuu-da makin an appearannce

Yep yep yep. That ought to be real interesting.

The H.A.M. train has pulled into H.A.M. Central Station and Nicole Wray was obviously riding b*tch.

I need her to go back into hiding if this is the way she's gonna look. But she has an album coming out Januaray 2006..so I guess she's gettin a jump on things.

And while we're on the subject of blasts from the past now lookin the foolywang:

Al B. Sure, K-Ci, and Tevin Cambell

Now that's just a damn shame. {Thanks Qiana}

Is Diana sure she's not part of the Jackson clan??

SMokey Robinson was there too.

Victoria Rowell was also there looking casual chic.

Here's some pics of Tyra B. out chillin and what some sites have captioned "Tyra is drunk":

The real question here is why in the hell is Tyra hangin out with Nick Cannon??

In case ya'll haven't seen the pic of Sheryl Swoopes with her lover:

Interesting.

Mya needs a samich:

And some greens.

Check out Monica and her baby in this month's issue of Sister to Sister:

That baby is super cute...but I am so mad at ol boy for taking an actual pic with the baby while on the cellie.

Damn...does Craig David live on TRL?

Oh hell to the yes.

A.I. did NOT defy the new NBA dress code last night...despite his hatred for it....and he looked oh so cute abiding by the rules.

The Randomness:

1. Ummmmm what?? Will and Jada have admitted to having an open marriage? Well...they are like the only ones still married. So don't be too quick to hate. Apparently Will admitted this on Q 100 radio show of Atlanta.
2. I'm pissed at UPN for making believe ANTM would be an actual and real episode tonight.
3. Is Tyrese serious? Why is he trying to become a rapper...under the name Black-Ty? Stick with what you know boo.
4. If you haven't seen Mariah's new video...click here.
5. When will 50 realize NOTHING he says or does will generate good publicity for his whack movie?? He needs to leave Kanye's comments alone! Story
