Get the deets inside on Kerry's new ABC show and watch Wale and Miguel perform "Lotus Flower Bomb" on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." Kerry Washington vamped it up in the latest issue of DETAILS Magazine where she rocked a shiny blazer, high heels by Theyskens' Theory and Blush underwear. We normally don't see her this sexed up but she looks hot. The fab actress has hot projects coming down the pipeline on both the big and small screens. In addition to playing Jamie Foxx's wife in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino flick Django Unchained, the actress is also starring in Shonda Rhimes' new ABC show "Scandal." In her DETAILS interview, she joked about being famous and how strangers always try to figure out where they know her from. "I guess what they're going to say they recognize me from. If it's a teenage guy? "You're the blind girl from Fantastic Four!" A European? "It's always The Last King of Scotland." A lesbian? "She Hate Me!" Kerry added that she is excited about the start of "Scandal" (Apr. 5) and fans will love the show. Can't wait!

| Posted: 19 Jan 2012 06:04 AM PST It was a BIG night for new dad Jay-Z. He made his first appearance since the birth of Blue Ivy Carter at his 40/40 club reopening in NYC last night. And all his celebrity friends--including a Roc-throwing Warren Buffett--came out to congratulate and celebrate.
Pics inside... Mr. Carter looked dapper as usual arriving to his big club re-opening last night. He flew solo as wife Beyonce stayed home with their 2-week-old baby girl. And while Jay arrived to a crowd of folks screaming "Congratulations," he screamed out "Thank You" right back. He hit the carpet for a few interviews and looked to be uber excited about it all. And even his gazillionaire bestie Warren Buffett came out to support. Not much is gonna top this one. Look who arrived holding hands: Couple Terrence J and Selita Ebanks. The actor and the model made a fancy arrival--loving Selita's look. Pretty. Ashanti made a fab arrival in a floor length gunmetal gown with a bust cut-out. And posed it up with a huge bottle of Ace of Spades: She's looking great these days. Loves the hair and makeup. Jay's good friend Swizz Beatz came out to the party solo dolo as well. And made a flashy arrival in his custom made Lotus Evora GTE. Nice. Model Jessica White popped up in a cute purple pants suit and white turban. Jay's long time friend Irv Gotti was on hand for the re-opening. Wonder if he chatted up his ex labelee Ashanti who he's been beefing with for a while. Fabolous arrived with....you guessed it...not Emily B. But Adrienne Bailon. That's all we'll say about that. Roc Nation's Wale was on hand for the party. Yankee CC Sabathia was there of course. And Spike Lee didn't get the dress code memo as usual, and showed up in NY Giants head to toe gear. Somebody's excited for this weekend's game.... Pics via SPLASH  |
