Beyoncé Hosts Party for Sis' 22nd Birthday

These ladies know how to celebrate! Beyoncé Knowles threw a dance party for Solange's 22nd birthday Monday night, at the Hollywood Hills mansion, that brought out pals Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Mario and Destiny Child's Michelle Williams. On Solange's request, the DJ kept the tunes in the family, playing nearly every hit in Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z's catalogs including "Big Pimpin'" (as Solange played a tambourine and Beyoncé showed off her best moves) and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder." When Beyoncé's "Get Me Bodied" played, revelers circled around the Knowles sisters as they reenacted dance moves from the song's video. Champagne flowed as guests noshed on barbecue chicken, cornbread, greens and mac and cheese (served buffet-style). Cupcakes with large white candles were passed through the crowd as everyone sang a rocked out version of "Happy Birthday" to Solange, who blew out the candles and banged on her tambourine.

E3 RUMOR CONTROL

Disturbing Tha Peace (DTP), Ludacris’ Atlanta-based record label, has re-signed a long term distribution deal with Antonio “L.A.” Reid’s Island Def Jam Music Group. This officially lays to rest any rumors that had previously stated that Def Jam had dropped DTP, and all of its artists, from their roster.


The Atlanta Hip-Hop scene and the Dirty South movement in general owe more than they can ever repay to Chris,” Reid said in a statement. “Our friendship stretches back more than a decade and I never cease to be amazed at his imagination, creativity, and most of all his outrageous sense of humor.
“Now changing business conditions necessitate that we review our respective rosters and focus to ensure that future opportunities and challenges are aggressively achieved,” Reid continued. “Ludacris has built Disturbing Tha Peace into one of the iconic names in hip-hop, one that will remain an important part of the Island Def Jam family
.”

While it is clear that DTP will still be backed by Def Jam, the status of their R&B artists - Shareefa, Steph Jones, and Bobby Valentino - is unclear at this moment.
