| COUPLES WATCH: BEYONCé & JAY-Z, J.LO & MARC ... Blog |
• Beyoncé, smiling while surrounded by friends and, of course, husband Jay-Z at a party for the Artful Dodger Collection at New York's Chelsea Art Museum. As they were led to their table, everyone at the bash stopped to get a look at the power couple. But the two were very mellow, sitting next to each other the entire time and bopping their heads to the music while still wearing their shades. Beyoncé did perk up when they played her song "Upgrade U," which features a cameo by her hubby, a partygoer tells us. Meanwhile, the deejay spun some Jay-Z hits too – and he seemed amused by one particular mashup. Noticeably missing from view: Beyoncé's $5 million wedding ring, though Jay-Z was sporting a band of his own.
• Jennifer Lopez, accompanying hubby Marc Anthony to Miami, where he was performing at the American Airlines Arena. Before show time, the couple enjoyed some quiet time – sans twins Max and Emme – at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. "Jennifer and Marc had some spa treatments at the hotel, and just basically relaxed," says a source. "They wanted some time to just hang out and chill."
• Rihanna, sparkling in an Alexander Wang gold skirt while partying with beau Chris Brown at L.A. nightspot The Kress. They walked right in and sat at a cabana toward the back of the club, where they were all over each other! According to an onlooker, their body language was very sexy, as they flirted all night – and she even gave him a little lapdance.
• Lauren Conrad, flirting with My Boys star Kyle Howard at Teddy's inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The two were laughing and smiling, and very close: They held hands on the raised section of the lounge while hanging out.
• Guess they're back on! Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan, making a surprise appearance at the Blindness premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. First, the two were seen strolling together. Then a grinning Monaghan walked the carpet, with an equally happy Lilly following suit two minutes later.
• Maria Bello, introducing fiancé Bryn Mooser to costar Aaron Eckhart at a screening of their new movie, Towelhead, at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. Bello, who was wearing her engagement ring, and Mooser sat next to each other inside the theater and chatted with Eckhart for a few minutes. When they weren't talking with guests, the couple whispered with one another.
• Just one day after premiering his film Burn After Reading at the Toronto Film Festival, director Joel Coen and wife Frances McDormand took a casual stroll down Avenue Road, near the Park Hyatt hotel. Dressed down, the couple looked at ease with each other as they chatted and walked arm in arm.

| BEYONCé SHOWS OFF $5M ENGAGEMENT RING Blog |
Jay-Z sure knows how to pick the bling!
All eyes were on Beyoncé Friday night, when, for the first time, the singer publicly displayed her engagement ring on the red carpet for Fashion Rocks at Radio City Music Hall in N.Y.C.
The singer, 27, who secretly married rapper Jay-Z in April, flashed an 18 carat flawless diamond by Lorraine Schwartz, valued at more than $5 million dollars, according to the jeweler.
Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have publicly confirmed their marriage but in recent weeks, Beyoncé’s younger sister Solange referred to Jay-Z as her brother-in-law during a television interview.Later in the evening, Beyoncé took off the ring for a performance where she donned a short, blonde wig in tribute to blues singer Etta James whom she portrays in an upcoming movie.
The star-studded event included appearances by Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Tommy Hilfiger, Hayden Panettiere, Paula Abdul, Fergie, Ciara, Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Brown, Terrance Howard, Justin Timberlake and Chace Crawford.

| BEYONCé: 'I WANNA BE ICONIC' Blog |
Forget mere celebrity. Beyoncé says she aspires to icon status.
"There is a time limit on being a pop star, yes," the Grammy-winning singer tells the October issue of Marie Claire's U.K. edition. "Being a legend, an icon? Absolutely not."
"I'm over being a pop star," Beyoncé, 26, adds. "I don't wanna be a hot girl – I wanna be iconic."
Still, she admits to being frustrated with the demands of her career: "There are responsibilities that come along with this life ... trying to have a romantic meal without someone sneaking in to film the whole thing," says Beyoncé, who married Jay-Z in April. "I have to work really hard and it's fine because I like it, I love it, but it's a lot of sacrifice." Acknowledging the challenges of being a minority in Hollywood, Beyoncé gives a nod to her own role models: "I think I'm opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me."
The singer also expressed a sense of excitement for the political future. Regarding Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, she says, "I'm really proud. I think we're making a bit of progress, it's an exciting time. We all feel part of our country now."

| DONNIE KLANG: MILEY, I'VE GOT A SONG FOR YOU! Blog |
As the winner of "Making the Band 4," Donnie Klang has worked with Diddy and hung out with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. But now he's paying attention to a younger star.
"Miley Cyrus is about to take her career in a whole new direction," says Klang, 23, who released his solo album Just a Rolling Stone on Tuesday. "I've been writing with that in mind. I would love to do a song with her."
He says he already has the perfect song for the 15-year-old Disney star.
"I wrote a song called 'Rebelling' that I feel like would fit her," he says. "Especially for a singer that's in the limelight at such a young age, she's eventually going to hit a point, like Britney or Lindsay, where she needs to go out and rebel." Miley's not the only young gun he's after. "Take a rapper, myself and a Jonas Brother, and just do new stuff. That's what I want to do," says Klang, who is the first solo winner of the MTV show. "I would love to collaborate with a country music star, [like] Carrie Underwood."
For now, he's still dazzled by his new position in the music world. "I met Brandy at a radio station in the Midwest," he says. "She wrapped her arms around me and was like, 'Oh my God, I love you. My family loves you.' And I was like, 'You're Brandy.' She's coming up to me saying she's a fan. What's going on?"

| RAPPER JAY-Z: WHY I WON'T CONFIRM MY MARRIAGE TO BEYONCé Blog |
Jay-Z says privacy is the reason he and Beyonce won't talk about their wedding or marriage.
"I just think it's really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself," he tells Vibe in their September issue.
"You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you," the 38-year-old adds. "I shared so much of my life… I should have something to hold on to."
See photos of Beyonce & Jay-Z through the years.
Beyonce, 26, and Jay-Z tied the knot over three months ago in a "very special, very private, very intimate" rooftop ceremony, according to a source close to the pair. He was finally spotted with his wedding ring last week.
See photos of Us' Best Celeb Weddings.
Jay-Z also tells Vibe why he's a strong supporter of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
"What [Obama] represents is, we as a people are part of the American Dream," he says. "We were left out of the dream at a certain point. Now the dream is, you can be anything – and it's not cliché."

The rapper is featured on three special commemorative Vibe covers – out August 18 – for the magazine's 15th anniversary. The issue includes a comprehensive songography of his 450+ songs.

George Salon in Beverly Hills (where Reese Witherspoon also recently went blonder!). The fashionista arrived for her appointment
sans makeup – and sporting a plaid shirt, loose white T-shirt and
gladiator sandals. Her touch-up was just as low-key – "her usual blonde highlights," an observer tells
us. Also at the salon that day: Amanda Peet.• Courteney Cox Arquette and Brittny Gastineau, waiting (separately!) for their cars at the valet
station of L.A.'s Sunset Tower Hotel. The former Friend was with a friend,

Longoria Parker sent over a free dessert to Griffin just before Dickinson

after their tête-à-tête.

| JAY-Z FINALLY WEARING WEDDING RING Blog |
Jay-Z donned never-before-seen bling in NYC Wednesday: his wedding ring to Beyonce!
The rapper, 38, was spotted wearing the jewelry while leaving his Tribeca apartment, where they wed April 4.
See other star engagement rings.
Beyonce, 26, and Jay-Z tied the knot over three months ago in a "very special, very private, very intimate" rooftop ceremony, according to a source close to the pair.
Look back at Jay-Z and Beyonce's most romantic moments.
Famous guests included Destiny's Child singers Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams as well as Gwyneth Paltrow and hubby Chris Martin.
Why did they choose the date April 4? They're obsessed with the number!
The rapper named his club 40/40 after a baseball term. (If a player hits 40 home runs and steals 40 bases in the same season, it's considered a major coup.)
The couple also have matching IV tattoos on their ring fingers, and they were each born on the fourth day of a month (Beyoncé on September 4; Jay-Z, December 4).
See more celeb wedding photos.
Are kids next for the couple?
"One day I hope to be married with children," the singer told Ellen DeGeneres in 2006.
"I don't want to retire at 30, I want to relax," she said. "I still want to make albums and movies, but at a slower pace."

It's back to the studio for Timbaland – and once again, he's inviting along some friends.
For the sequel to his 2007 hit album Shock Value, the musician-producer, 37, is bringing in heavy-hitting collaborators from across the music world, including Beyoncé, Rihanna and the Jonas Brothers.
"Right now, I have a song with Madonna that I didn't put on her album. I saved [it] in case I wanna do one for me," he told MTV News. "Of course I'mma do one with Beyoncé. Of course I'mma do one with Jordin Sparks, Rihanna. It's a lot of people. I'mma do one with Jonas Brothers. I'mma try to have 10 major ones."
He'll also incorporate rappers into his lineup, he says. T. Pain has signed on, while T.I. and Jay-Z may also make appearances.
"Jay was really on the last one, but he wanted to change [the song]," he said. "I said, 'Look, man, I gotta put out an album. You're killing me.' "

| A-ROD ADMITS "TIMES ARE DIFFICULT" Blog |
Alex Rodriguez admits "times are a bit difficult" in a new interview with The Insider.
"I'll get through them," he said at the 2008 MLB All-Star Week party at Jay-Z's 40/40 club in NYC Monday. "The support of the New York fans has been incredible."
Asked if he has been reading the flurry of stories about his divorce or Madonna scandal, he said, "None of it. Zero, zero. Thank you."
(Look back on all of Madonna's flings.)
Though the singer, 49, was rumored to attend the MLB All-Star Week bash, she was a no-show.
Still, her presence was felt.
The DJ played a few of her tunes, including her new single "Four Minutes."
When her hit "Material Girl" blared on the speakers, A-Rod's "expression didn’t change," a witness tells Usmagazine.com.
Throughout the night, A-Rod, 32, chatted up his manager Guy Oseary - who also works for Madonna - and Ingrid Casares, who introduced the singer and the slugger.
A-Rod — who spent the weekend with his daughter Natasha, 3, and estranged wife Cynthia, 34, in Toronto — didn't look "devastated at all" throughout the night, says the attendee.
He obligingly posed for a photo with a fan, but mostly stayed in the V.I.P. area, texting, watching ESPN's Sports Center, chomping on gum and drinking a Bud Light.
As he left the club with Casares around 1:30 a.m., the DJ played Madonna's "Like a Prayer."
Baseball great Reggie Jackson, who currently serves as an adviser to the Yankees, told Us that "A-Rod will be fine," despite his current relationship drama.
"He's a solid guy," Jackson said. "He's been through it all. I wish the best for him, his two girls and his wife."
