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.

Beyonce tries hard, doesn’t she? She’s just so tacky! There’s no way around it.
And, Joy looks great and though I was sooo sure that was her real hair, I have a feeling some of the ignorant amongst you have so belittled the woman that she’s turned to wigs too… I hope not!

Celebs…. their business is their business…. I just like to watch.
Although. I don’t think Jay is all that attractive personally. (Just my preference) They look happy enough though. I imagine them going home to sit in front of a big plasma screen watching Judge Mathis and drinking mimosas with her feet in his lap balancing his laptop while he works.

I know this might generate a fire storm from her fans/stans but I always felt she was cute in the “girl-next -door ” sense. The extra fabness escapes me. When she first came out w/ the group, I had trouble remembering what she looked like. I only know her face so well at this point b/c it is plastered over every concievable form of media…almost like political propaganda.

No, it’s only me: Buffy! lol Did you think I was somebody else because I think Beyonce is tacky? Really? I’m shocked that so many of you think she isn’t…Come on, just because someone can afford to buy Chanel items doesn’t mean they know how to wear them… Please, get over the money thing…tacky is tacky… And, to be tacky and yet try sooooo hard that you end up in nude tights and gloves??? It’s like some horrible attempt at recreating Posh’s wayyy over the top (but actually not that bad) Chanel outfit…

I agree with # 75’s comment (Taj Washington). Regardless of Jay-Z’s age he is one of THE best…We can throw speculations/allegations/insinuations around about a lot of people but Jay has stood the test of time. There are few people that come along like they Jay’s and Diddy’s and Russel Simmons, etc…So lets just give the man his props. I mean if we find out today that he’s 50, what’s gonna change ? Nothing. And as for Bey, she’s the shit too….complete with her blk glove in may, and shiny stockings, lol it doesn’t matter ! She’s a rockstar !

I love when people say “they have money”, “catch up to their money”….come on, non of us have their money or we wouldnt be on a gossip entertainment site. Fans get over yourselves, not everyone thinks BS are Gods. Just because you have money doesnt mean your nice or happy! These two are more into themselves then people with real money like Bill Gates, Oprah, Saudi Princes, and McCartney. They are not the King and Queen of anything…..Jay still raps about drugs and violence and Beyonce screams about materials. We are in a day in age where we need real leaders, people who understand that they are leaders and can change the world, but these two are into themselves. You rarely hear them talking about people voting, making a change in your community, things that will help empower us.
If you dont care about what I think or a Hater, please dont respond because your wasting your time.

lol….. . A ring does not validate the marriage, it’s a union between two people… Every time a pic is posted it’s more then enough comments “where’s the ring”? Damn how many years went by before anyone suspected they were a couple? A lot… get over it!! lol.. Looks like she is having fun teasing.. and we all know Jay doesn’t give a damn what people think! lol.
The next time CL has a black history post or political post I hope to see 80 or more comments…lol..

#87 Dude, I had already said it! lol What are you talking about? I said it in a very concise way and YOU asked if I was someone else… I was done with it, believe me. She’s tacky, end of story, in my opinion. And, while it may mean nothing to you or many others here because you’re tacky as well, THAT obviously means nothing to me because I said it.

Beyonce’s already getting comfortable in her “marriage” since she looks plain now. She looks tired in the first pic. It’s true what they say about when people get married, they get a little lazy about their look too.

@TAJ Washington
People are gonna pick apart celebs because that’s part of the price one pays for that lifestyle. Bey seems to be a simple girl to me, but the media and the action of her constantly getting her face in the camera will draw people to talk about her on the regular- good or bad.
I agree with #95, Jay and Bey are good at what they do but KING AND QUEEN status- NOT!!! There were many before them who taught them how- dont forget that. (Tina Turner, Josephine Baker, Sugar Hill Gang, RUN DMC, Tupac, BIGGIE etc…)

The couple sure like to throw parties for someone suppose to be so quiet lol. I don’t care if they married or not it really doesn’t matter anymore. They already got our money so I guess they don’t care either way. We made them that way. Sometimes celebs get on my nerves lol. Just kidding. Have fun hiding jay and bey . Whatever floats your boat.

Joy Bryant looks beautiful. She’s a naturally pretty girl, but some of y’all are so hard on her so it’s nice to see her looking good.
Beyonce looks messy. She’s cute but she looks washed out in the face, she needs make-up to give her some color. She can’t dress, so talking about her clothes is always pointless lol BUT I think if she didn’t try so hard though, she’d look alot better.
Jay is ugly so talking about his appearance at all is pointless.
The party looks enjoyable I guess. The dress code looks off b/c everybody else looks like they just came for the free drinks and he’s in a tux. A white tux at that lol

All these comments got me to go back and look at the pics again. And I discovered in my search that 1) I actually like the gloves and 2) I DO see a bump.
Now what that bump is could be anythng from PMS to her just eating a huge cheeseburger. I’m only stating what I see.
Love B. But not in a STAN kind of way. lol

#25 - Not trying to be funny or anytthing. But when a person’s had a nose job, how are you able to tell if someone’s preggers? I don’t know anyone who’s had a nose job and I am just curious.

See, this is just what’s wrong with the world. Look at her……. and then look at him. Ain’t no damned way she’d look at once (forget twice) is he didn’t have money. Ain’t no different than these young girls dating the head thug, dope dealer, you name it. Most of them are fugly, but have power.
Sets a bad example for young women.

Shag are u serious how what Beyonce choose to do set bad example for younger women?
Bee didn’t marry Jay for money she has plenty of her own.
As far as his past go everyone has one don’t they I know I do. Listen 2 any Jay cd & he explain why he did what he did & how he clearly says he don’t want kids to sell drugs. I have a brother who did that & he is an excellent person who make grands a mth now legally have I ever looked down on him NO. Jay being ugly whateva 2 each is own Bee loves him & that’s all.

love jay and b…
they both look great…
and tights are old school, it probably felt better to wear tights with the shoes she has on, and back in the day it was tacky not to wear tights only recently (when values and morals have gone out the window) have people started not wearing tights with high heels, pumps, stilettos
I bet wearing a slip under a skirt is foreign too…..

Sorry, Beyonce looks awful again. she fucked up a so-so outfit with too much accessories and those awful granny hose. (Not to mention orange yeti hair)
Joy’s natural beauty and radiance makes her look like a dried up prune. Ouch.

why are folks so worried about beyonce and jay-z’s rings. i could care less if he gave her a ring or not. marriage is way more than a ring. i only view a ring as a piece of jewelry. as long as they got married for genuine true love, i could care less if she has a ring, if she don’t, or if the ring she does have was bought from a bubblegum machine or jacob the jeweler.
