Beyoncé Sets Jay-Z Out for his Big 4-0

Beyoncé cut no corners for her husband Jay-Z’s 40th birthday party at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The bash was star-studded and included a password only entry. Meaning it was like Fort Knox to get in that piece. Details once you pop the top.

The 60-odd guests at the ’20s-themed fete included Kanye West and girlfriend Amber Rose, Sean Combs and Kim Porter (sidebar, they reported Kim as Diddy’s girlfriend… when did that happen), Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, Warner Music chief Lyor Cohen and designer Tory Burch, plus DJ Cassidy, who DJ’d for the party. Diddy gave a toast and Jay-Z’s friends also put together a video saying how much they love him. The festivities featured synchronized swimmers, fireworks and an impromptu performance of “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z and Keys. Sources say the whole thing lasted until 5 a.m. the next day.

Beyoncé capped the celebration off with a lobster surf-and-turf brunch for guests at the luxury villa where she and Jay-Z were staying. Sounds like good times. No phones were allowed so no pics could be leaked but how did that photo of Kanye, Lyor and Tory get out…

@brooklyn – this is true. They did say she wasn’t there… but since there are “no pics” why not strategically drop her name in there? (we know Bossip d*ck rides ole Amber) lol…
Well, I was there too. The passcode was ass…lol…

@roseta…….There is nothing Jay can help Rhianna do to sell that garbage.

Maybe the White House need to use the same security people Bey used. I betcha there were no party crashers up in there.

Good job Beyonce, now lets hope one of Jay’s birthday present was a confirmed pregnancy which I’m sure he’ll love to recieved.

Jay Z has taken the rap game to an almost unreachable status.
Keisha2doll 12/8/09, 07:57:PM

Cool birthday gathering but, isn’t Jay-Z 45 by now? I remember his age was referenced in a Nas song 9 years ago as 36. I know that it’s a fact that alot of female celebs put back their ages. Are the male celebs doing the same?

Sold his soul to be on top, got his wife possessed by a demon that calls itself sasha and is at least 49 years old. I can’t believe I was a fan of this mule. Jay…since you said Jesus can’t save you, please note that you must include your career as a rapper! You fell off with that one pops!!….GRAND-POPS…dude need to go work on having a kid before his old sperm creates mutants

@ keri hilson fan…

Is self-righteous indignation reserved for Beyonce & Jay or do you disseminate your holy joy evenly?

Like… were you disheartened by Keri having simulated sex on stage the ENTIRE year?? Probably not huh?

*shrugs*

smartee 12/9/09, 10:36:AM

LOL this article report is so boring. Who cares about what type of party was thrown for Jay? I just came here to comment at how BIG BEYONCE’S HEAD AND EARS ARE! I’ve always known that she’s had a big head and ears, but she always tries to cover them. She looks like an elf!
flawda 12/9/09, 10:55:AM

Does it matter if he is 40,41,or 50; he is still more accomplished than you broke hating ass hoes. I swear this site is a way for you insecure people to expose your unhappiness and hate for people yall don’t really know.
