Peek-a-boo Blue Ivy Carter made her first public appearance with her parents in New York City on Saturday (Feb. 25). The barely two-month-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who showed her adorable face to the world earlier this month, was cradled by her mother as the famous family stepped out for lunch at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village.
The superstar couple made a quick exit from their Mercedes-Benz van into the Italian restaurant. A protective B played it low key in round sunglasses, an oversized jacket, and sneakers while covering baby Blue with a black blanket to shield her from the paparazzi. Proud papa Jay kept a close eye on his wife and child as bodyguards surrounded the vehicle.
First she whipped her hair, then she shaved her hair, and now she’s bleached her hair blonde. Willow Smith showed off her latest bold look, complemented by a pair of oversized glasses, while chilling with her friends at Subway (where all the cool kids hang).
The 11-year-old “Fireball,” who was recently seen hanging out with Odd Future frontman Tyler, the Creator, also hinted that she has a new sound to match her new look. “New music! I am gonna be a different Willow from now on,” she tweeted.
Tyra Banks can add another milestone to her long list of achievements, she recently graduated from Harvard University’s School of Business. She tweeted: Smiling ear2ear on the Harvard Business campus w/ my diploma! Tnx 2 my fab photographer mama 4 the pic! Congratulations!!

Whitney Houston was on her way to a triumphant return while shooting what would become her final on-screen performance in Sparkle, a remake of the 1976 film. When “ET” paid a visit to the set in Detroit, the iconic singer’s voice was full and she looked “heavier and healthier,” according to host Mark Steins.
She filmed scenes at a house and church, similar to the one she grew up in, and sat down with her co-star Jordin Sparks. Whitney shared how she didn’t let daughter Bobbi Kristina listen to explicit lyrics and Jordin recalled the time she quickly changed a song when Whitney was in the room.
She was in curlers while shooting her scenes, in which she plays a “run down” mother, but insisted on dressing up for the interview. Check out some on-set footage from Whitney’s final film, which hits theaters August 17.
Chris Brown is making headlines once again. The Grammy-winning singer has been accused of robbing a woman’s cell phone outside a Miami nightclub over the weekend and driving off with it.
Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that Christal Spann filed a police report Sunday for “robbery by snatching.” The 24-year-old claims that she followed the “Turn Up the Music” singer and Tyga out of Cameo nightclub and took a picture of Brown getting into his Bentley.
He reportedly got upset when he saw her camera phone and grabbed it through the vehicle window, saying, “Bitch, you’re not gonna put that on the Internet.” According to the police report, he then rolled up his window and drove off with the iPhone in hand.
The incident is currently under investigation. No arrests have been made and no warrant has been issued.
TMZ notes that Chris is still on probation for his assault on Rihanna and if he’s arrested, he could face jail time on a probation violation.
