According to a number of media outlets, the two mega-singing stars got hitched last night during an intimate gathering in Jay-Z’s Tribeca penthouse apartment. Sources say the couple wanted a very private affair with just a few dozen close friends and family. And it appears they got what they wanted. TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” has video of Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, pulling into Jay-Z’s underground parking garage last night. Beyonce’s former Destiny’s Child bandmates – Kelly Rowland … Continue reading →
