| Posted: 28 Sep 2012 10:37 PM PDT Hovie's home! The house that Jay built was on fire Friday night as Sean "Jay-Z" Carter kicked off the first night of 8 concerts he's performing to celebrate the official opening of the brand new Brooklyn Barclays Center.
Check out his wife Beyonce in the crowd, the new verse he debuted saluting his team the Brooklyn Nets, and the BIGGIE hologram he surprised the crowd with... In a house packed with 20,000+ folks, Hov gave a memorable concert as he helped the Barclays Center--the arena that he helped executives and developers bring together in his hometown--make its official public debut. His wife Beyonce was there dancing it up in the crowd, as he opened with "Where I'm From," off his In My Lifetime Vol. 1 album.
Jay was styled in several looks by the fabulous June Ambrose. He rocked the $299 limited edition Brooklyn Nets 'Carter' Jersey. With his fave number 4, of course. Pharrell, as well as Big Daddy Kane (not pictured), popped up. And the crowd got a huge surprise as he whipped out a Hologram of Notorious B.I.G. Clearly this is going to be a trend now.

| Mekhi Phifer Goes On A Lunch Date With His NEW Chick...His EX Girlfriend Reshelet Barnes Posted: 28 Sep 2012 11:00 AM PDT Mekhi Phifer wants that old thing back! The sexy actor was spotted on a lunch date yesterday at The Grove with his new girlfriend, who he previously dated years ago, Reshelet Barnes. So apparently, he and his baby mama/fiancee' Oni Souratha are completely done.
Pics of the twosome inside... Mekhi Phifer, the ex-husband of actress Malinda Williams, keeps himself a chick by his side. And since he's sexy as all hell, we can't really blame him for having that ability. But the recent spottings of Mekhi and his new girlfriend Reshelet come as a bit of a surprise since last everyone checked, the actor was extra happy and in love with his fiancee' Oni, especially at their 2007 baby shower. The two have a 5-year old son, Mekhi Thira Phifer Jr., and were last spotted together at the top of 2010 at a NYE bash. Which brings us to the new couple Mekhi & Reshelet who was spotted holding hands at lunch yesterday: We discovered that the two were also dating back in 2004 (spotted below at the Dawn of The Dead premiere)--after Mekhi's divorce from Malinda and before he started dating Oni:
And we know they've been back on since at least May of this year, as Mekhi brought Reshelet to Israel with him (pictured below) when he traveled there with a group of Hollywood actors for the America's Voices program. The trip is for actors to meet up with other actors & troops in Israel to share their art & talents. Pics: Splash  |
