Jay-Z Photos & Pics Archive

From Paris to Benji to Jay-Z, oh my!

All came out to party at Goa after Kanye performed at the Nokia Theatre in LA last night - just how excited are you for West's Glow in the Dark tour?

We hear it's AMAZING!

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z filed a signed wedding license in New York on Friday (according to People) after holding a small ceremony at Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment earlier this month.

Now that there's definitive proof, are they finally gonna come out and admit it?

We've got a couple thousand questions we'd love to ask either Usher or Jay-Z - but it looks like neither one of them's talking!

Last night, we caught the twin titans of modern music leaving Katsuya after a boys' night out. The paps pleaded with 'em both for a comment, but neither Usher nor the Jiggaman could be bothered to respond. Aw, c'mon - we just want to know what's up with your ring, Jay!

We were able to get a few XCLUSIVE shots from Jay-Z's big afterparty at Club 702 following his recent concert in Atlanta. Stunningly, the Jiggaman didn't appear to be wearing a wedding ring - shocking behavior for a man married for less than a week! Could the rumors of a shotgun wedding have some truth to 'em?

Of course, with or without his wedding ring, Jay came to the A to partay - and he brought a couple of famous friends along for the fun! In fact, the rapper was joined onstage by a veritable who's-who of Southern hip-hop and R&B - we saw Hova hanging with Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, and even recent chart-topping duo Usher and Young Jeezy! Sounds like there was plenty of love in this club!

Not that Beyonce and Jay-Z haven't been together, like, forever, but their small and intimate wedding on Friday did seem rather hastily pulled together.

Rush & Malloy are reporting that the reason for the quickie marriage may be due to the fact that B's preggers, y'all!

Course this is all just speculation, neither of the couple's reps have confirmed or denied that they even got married, let alone are expecting!

It took six years of dating and two days of intense speculation, but Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles were finally wed yesterday!

Despite all the attention showered on the event by the paparazzi, the couple still managed to keep the ceremony relatively low-key, wrapping it up in under three hours and featuring a tiny guest list of friends and family members. Heck, the closest thing to an A-lister at their reception was Gwyneth Paltrow!

Unfortunately, the couple's honeymoon may have to be cut short - Jay's got a concert date tonight in Greensboro, North Carolina. Then again, he could always give the crowd a special treat and bring Beyonce along!

(Oh, and we've got a picture of Beyonce's sister Solange looking downright thrilled to be at her big sis' wedding - click through the jump for that!)

We've all been waiting eagerly to see whether the much-rumored Jay-Z/Beyonce wedding would actually go down today - but it looks like we've gotten our answer!

Our photographer in New York tells us that, while nobody's caught sight of the couple yet, a crowd of forty to fifty photographers has congregated outside the suspected location. They all seem pretty confident it's definitely happening today, presumably around 6 PM on t - guess we'll just have to wait and see if we can catch a glimpse of the happy couple together!

But the crazy news is that this might not even be the couple's last wedding - In Touch is reporting that the pair plan to have another ceremony in France in a month's time!

Naturally, we'll bring you any news on this story as soon as we get it - stay tuned!

Talk about having a good day - not only did Jay-Z sign a contract with Live Nation worth eleventy squillion bucks yesterday, but he set a date with Beyonce Knowles to boot!

E! Online reports that the rapper plans to marry Knowles on April 4th in New York City. Wait - April 4th? That's tomorrow! How's B gonna put together a wedding fit for a diva in two days?

Luckily, she certainly won't have to do it on the cheap - after all, her fiancee finalized a deal with concert promoter Live Nation for a hundred and fifty million bucks! (Of course, Beyonce won't be able to spend it all on her wedding - as per Jay's contract, part of that sum will go towards funding a personal entertainment venture down the road. Jay may be stepping aside from Def Jam, but he's clearly not done with the executive life!)

Beyonce, in New York with boyfriend Jay-Z, has been tapped to play legendary singer Etta James in a new biopic about the star's life, according to Page Six.

Although Etta was at first a bit wary about the Dreamgirl stepping into the admitted former heroin addict's shoes, not only because Beyonce was a bit too "bourgie" to play the bad-girl, but that Etta wasn't convinced she could sound like the bluesy songstress.

It was Etta's son that convinced her otherwise, saying "they're thinking about how she looks, but mama, she can really sing!'"

We're not so sure about her acting skills, but after her performance with Tina Turner on the Grammys, we're fairly certain Beyonce could sing anything!

...Guess who showed up at a party thrown by Jeff Beacher?

Yes, Jeff might not have been holding down the fort at the Madhouse, but his big bash for Marquee's fourth anniversary last Friday in New York got plenty crazy on its own!

And, true to Jeff's jet-setting ways, his orange pals were hardly the highest-ranking celebs in attendance - we also spotted Usher, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, The Sopranos' Robert Iler, and Carrie Underwood (with Chase Crawford) hanging around!

We just got in a few more photos and a little more video of Beyonce and Jay-Z cavorting in Paris, taken just a few hours before we caught the happy couple at the Crazy Horse. (And why might they have been taking in such a racy show together, you might ask? Well, it turns out yesterday was Jay's birthday, and the excursion was a present from Beyonce - well, that's one way to have a happy birthday!)

Jay-Z and Beyonce took in some (red) light evening entertainment at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris last night. Might B have been looking to upgrade her choreography with a few racy new dance moves? Or possibly just taking her man out for a special treat? Either way, we're pretty confident that this is one outing on which Jay fully co-signed!

To say that the news that American Gangster, the hotly-anticipated forthcoming release from Jay-Z, had hit the 'net without authorization must have come as a shock to the record-company execs - after all, according to Idolator, in an effort to curtail leaks, they'd only sent out fifteen copies! Imagine their surprise, then, when they traced the leaked mp3s back to the watermarks on the discs they'd mailed out to discover that, according to Idolator, no less than thirteen of the fifteen journalists had uploaded tracks to the web!

Looks like the Michael Jordan of rap's retirement isn't going to be much more relaxing than the Michael Jordan of, er, basketball's - Jay-Z's coming out of retirement again! New details are starting to surface about 'Hova's new project American Gangster, including the fact that its genesis was sparked by an advance screening of the upcoming Denzel Washington movie of the same name - the rapper gave an interview to the New York Times today in which he admits that all nine of the tracks he's recorded for the record so far can be traced back to specific scenes in the movie! "It's like I was watching the film, and putting it on pause, and giving a back story to the story," the rapper was quoted as saying. Oh man - we were already excited to see American Gangster, but if it's setting off creative fireworks in Jigga's head, we really can't wait!

We spotted Beyonce and Jay-Z taking in a sea creature showcase at Marineland. Oddly enough, Jay didn't seem to be having a particularly good time - you'd think that even if the antics of the various aquatic beasties couldn't elicit a smile, being in such close proximity to Beyonce's bangin' bod would!

Beyonce's bout of beach blanket bingo seems to be continuing unabated - we caught the Irreplaceable beauty strolling along the sand in St. Tropez on Jay-Z's arm. Unfortunately, the lady B's attire makes us think that the climate must have taken a turn for the chilly - after all, we've grown accustomed to seeing a little more of Beyonce!

Beyonce did a little Private Dance(r) for longtime boyfriend Jay-Z as he snapped pix from his Beach Chair aboard their ginormous yacht - somewhere off the south of France. Nice Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, huh?
