She’s back! Beyoncé showed off her post-pregnancy body at Jay-Z’s 40/40 club in New York City on Monday night, her first public appearance since giving birth to her daughter last month. Looking radiant in a red Alice Temperly dress, Ofira and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Alexander McQueen clutch, and Christian Louboutin heels, Blue Ivy’s mother made her way to VIP, where she mingled with well wishers following Jay-Z’s historic concert at Carnegie Hall. Now that’s one hot mama

Three years after their split, Whitney Houston described her troubled married to Bobby Brown with the poignant words:  ‘He was my drug’.

Despite their turbulent relationship, which ended after 14 years, the pair appear to be getting along just fine these days.

They were spotted stepping out for a bite to eat with their daughter Bobbi Kristina.  The trio seemed in great spirits as they left the trendy Beverly Hills eatery after a slap-up meal together.

Whitney, 48, left the restaurant alone, and was followed shortly by Bobby and their 18-year-old daughter, who sweetly held hands.

Their family meal had evidently been lighthearted and enjoyable as the three each could be seen beaming as they made their way home.

Rihanna’s tattoo obsession continues. The bad girl added some fresh ink to her body this week. RiRi visited the Shamrock Social Club in Los Angeles, getting “Thug Life” tatted across her knuckles.

“All these bitches screaming that 2pac back ♫ #THUGLIFE,” tweeted the pop star, who already has around 14 tattoos including one with her best friend’s birthdate on her shoulder and another on her chest that reads “Never a failure, always a lesson.”

But that wasn’t all. She appeared to be getting another tat on her body from famed tattoo artist Mark Mahoney, while holding a beer bottle. During her trip to the tattoo parlor, she also ran into Grindhouse actor Danny Trejo.

Rihanna has been spotted over the past few days puffing on a suspicious looking cigarette to some during her Hawaiian holiday.  But I’m sure all the “420” heads know exactly what is going on!!!

And yesterday Rihanna appeared to clear up exactly what she has been smoking by quoting some lyrics from rapper Drake’s song Up All Night on her Twitter page.

She wrote: ‘Kush rolled, glass full… I prefer the better things.

Rihanna was feeling extra rested and relaxed as she vacationed in paradise over the weekend. The “We Found Love” singer smoked and sunbathed while lounging at her hotel in Hawaii. A makeup-free RiRi didn’t notice the paparazzi snapping photos as she rolled up a blunt. “Kush rolled, glass full…I prefer the better things!” she tweeted, quoting Drake and Nicki Minaj’s “Up All Night.”

Dwyane Wade was living large at his 30th birthday bash in Miami. The NBA star partied with his pals at the swanky affair at The Setai hotel. T.I. and Rick Ross got the crowd hype with their performances, a dapper Common freestyled over his single “Celebrate,” and Kelly Rowland serenaded the birthday boy with “Happy Birthday.” If that wasn’t enough, D-Wade was gifted with a 2012 McLaren MP4-12C valued at around $230,000. Other celebrity well wishers included Usher, Flo Rida, LeBron James, and Fat Joe.

Lil Kim and Trina partied all night at a club in Tampa over the weekend.  The two have been friends for quite some time now, and have supported each other in their respective careers.  It’s good to see that some females in the hip-hop game can play nicely together.  Check out the pics:

Hip-hop heads got their money’s worth at the star-studded “Tru-2 Music” concert at Club Nokia L.A. LIVE on Friday night (Jan. 13).  Busta Rhymes and Rick Ross co-headlined the evening, which also featured performances from YG and Eric Bellinger.

Bussa Buss stormed the stage in a black feathery coat, showering the front row with champagne and filling his set with plenty of surprise guests including Swizz Beatz, Snoop Dogg, and Chris Brown, who performed “Look at Me Now.”

The Teflon Don, who rescheduled the show after his medical emergency last year, performed his Rich Forever mixtape cuts live for the first time including “Holy Ghost,” “Yella Diamonds,” and the controversial “Stay Schemin’” with French Montana.  “I felt dat real #CaliLuv,” tweeted Rozay.

Snoop Dogg’s recent weed arrest didn’t stop him from lighting one up backstage as he mingled with his peers.  Other celebrity sightings included Ameriie, Iggy Azalea, and Nipsey Hussle.
