Jay-Z’s Exclusive After Party @ 40/40 Club
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Jay-Z hosted an exclusive after party for the ‘Heart of The City’ tour at his club 40/40 on Tuesday night. Beyonce (who joined Jay-Z on stage earlier this week) made an appearance along with a whole list of random celebs. My homie Taj took a few photos of the celebs arriving at the event, but he said every time he would try to get a shot of Miss. Bee her bodyguards would flash a flashlight. Peep more photos below.

I Love Bey and Jay and as much as I want to respect their privacy, I want to know what’s up!!! Where da rings?? Where da pics???
Beyonce would have rocked that outfit even more if she minus the gloves and stockings. Not feeling the shoe and accessories too much either.

There have been several photos of Beyonce surfacing the internet in the past week and she looks different. Her make up is low keyed and her roots are not dyed. She has that glow. She ain’t fooling nobody; she is preggers.

Beyonce, I just think that she is just as confused as the rest, rather than making the media go crazy in trying to find out if you are married or not, enjoy your marriage and have fun

I did not know that was Joy Bryant. She usually looks tacky, but Bey must have told her if you gonna take a picture with us, you must first see our:
Clothes stylist, make up artists, hair stylists
I bet Joy had a major makeover before taking that picture. She looks nice for a change.
By the way, I dont care what nobody says, either Bey has a gutt or there’s a baby in there. There’s definitely a “bump” under that belt. Some people dont show until 6 months or so.

We all know Jay-Z is ugly (a good MC, but ladies don’t feel him on da grill). I didn’t know Beyonce is so plain without make up. She still has a nice body. I’m kinda worried about what the kids will look like.

Joy looks amazingly nice. I like Beyonce’s outfit and shoes. The stockings and gloves are not a nice touch. I wish she would make her hair color blk again. I was really feeling the black on her, hate the blonde.

Many stars look plain without all the glam that’s why I never understand why people wish they look like the stars. There’s few that look that amazing without makeup and stuff. I wish people see that some of the most average girls that walk around everyday are some of the most beautiful.

No one can tell me but Beyonce looks different. Rather plain, average looking. Am I the only one to notice? I heard she usually wears pounds of makeup- maybe she decided not to this time.

OK, I haven’t commented in like a month of Sunday’s but people really starting to blow me with all this Jay and Bee nonsense.
1) Jay does NOT have on a wedding ring. Usually those go on the left hand ring finger. His left hand is barely visible in all photos.
2) So what that Bee has not dyed her hair. She’s on a little break right now from grinding so hard for the past two years.
3) Does it REALLY matter if they’re married or not? We all know they got a license and we all heard Mary shout them out. I’m quite sure they’re married, but they’ve always been low-key so why would that change now?
4) IF Bee is pregnant, which I doubt she is, only time will tell. Personally, she’s not showing any signs to me, but whatever.
Folks are going to say what they want to say, cause they can. Continue to speculate, since clearly you have nothing better to do. Why is everyone so wrapped up in Jay and Bee? Don’t get me wrong, I love Jay, as an artist, but this is like some borderline Stan mess, for real.

The event was nice. I heard Madonna was supposed to have come, too. But I could be wrong. Jay was in good spirits and greeted everyone. The had a whole bunch of people dressed up like military staff to greet Jay as he came into the club. For some odd reason, they were very particular about photos of Beyonce, and they keep escorting her through back doors and hallways. Also, whenever I tried to get a photo of her, the security team would blind “certain” photographers with flashlights.

@45, Who do you see in most of the pictures on this post? Bey and Jay. People will comment and speculate on who they see and who they want to talk about. Really, if it were not for blogs like CL and many others, theses celebs would not be as popular. I’m not a fan of either- I just comment cause I’m bored at the moment, like you just did.

Damn Jay Z might be ugly to you but not to others. Every one has their own opinion and Jay Z is sexy ass hell to me. He doesn’t have the typical European features we are brainswash to find attractive, but I love his big lips and nose is face wouldn’t look right without them to me. Jay Z looks good in the way he carry himself. I can only speak for me. I thought Jay was sexy since I saw the video to Hard Knock Life, and then once I saw him on tour and got to see him up close it was wrap, this man became fione to me. The one thing that really makes Jay Z sexy is his personality he has a dry sense of humor and is sarcastic, to me that is attractive in a guy, let me stop I can go on stanning about Jay Z all day…

Now why the hell is she wearing leather gloves in May. She looks rediculous and her guards are corny for using those flashlights to”blind”people taking pictures. I thought these 2 were supposedly “A” list, so how come they have the corniest guests there. Oh by the way I found out some interesting info on Camel, Well his EX-friends Dehaven and Emory’s police records read that they born in 1965 and 1966 so how the hell is Camel 38 if he is older then Dehaven.(THey met in elementary school, and camel was a year ahead of him) Nas was right this clown was a 36 year old Tai-bo hoe. I wonder how old Beyonce really is?

YOU ARE SLOW, DEHAVEN HAS STATED THAT JAY WAS THE YOUNG NIGGA UNDER HIM! DON’T KNOW WHAT A POLICE REPORT SAYS, BUT DEHAVEN SAID THAT JAY WAS YOUNGER THAN HIM. JUST LIKE JAY IS OLDER THAN BLEEK.

Beyonce should not have worn those stockings because it just threw off the rest of the outfit which is very cute on it’s own. I guess she’s wearing gloves because of the air conditioning in the club.

Who said anything about Euro features? Thick lips are hot, I got em. When I said “we all know” I’m going on chick responses. Most women are feelin his flow, not the face. Not a diss, an observation. Since you’re so into him, we hope all your kids look just like him.
U must be a Fan-ATIC

Wednesday, May 7, 2008 /
SHOUT OUT TO #51!!!! You took all the words right out of my mouth. Brainwashed beauty and real sexy beauty are two totally different things. Jay is a sexy ass fine mofo and he looks hella good - everything about him and then has the swagger and personality to top it off which makes EVERYONE WANT TO BE HIM. He is that DUDE, straight up. I was loving him waaaayyy before Hard Knock Life, since back on 14th Street and the Palledium days “Ain’t No Nigga” video, etc. No one can stop this man’s hustle and he MARRIED the HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME.
Beyonce do you too boo. She looks good, relaxed and like she’s going to come back on F-I-Y-A-H!!! I was at the Friday night concert when she came out and did her THANG and the place went bananas. She was in shape and threw that ass all over MSG!
Hands down - they’re the King & Queen.

I don’t see why people like to pick Beyonce apart. I don’t know her and neither do any of you. It was nice, however, seeing her dancing to “American Boy” by Estelle at the club last night and just being herself. I am sure that is a rare occasion for her since she is always photographed. I took one good photo of her and wrapped it out because I respect people’s space.
I was a great time had by all.
