Happy Belated Birthday Jay-Z

To the Man, the Legend, the Myth - Jay-Z

His birthday was on December 4th. The turned a whopping 40 this year and it is being reported that his wife, Beyonce, threw him a private party in the Dominican Republic. Attending were some of their closest friends and family, including Diddy, Kate Hudson, A-Rod, Kanye West and Alicia Keys. There are currently no pictures (other than some Jay's nephew took of the villa and yacht) to be found as the guest were told that no cameras or phones were allowed. Beyonce asked Jay’s friends to shoot a video that was played at dinner telling Jay how they felt about him. However, there was a photographer present but only for private pics. I really hate that because I'm sure it was bomb. Sources reported that Beyonce arranged everything from fireworks, to synchronized swimmers to entertain the guests, as well as a lavish buffet. Sources also say that Jay-Z had a blast and danced all night. I would have loved to have seen that. Oh well, maybe later we will get some more pics to display.
