Out & About: Alicia Keys & Swizz Beats – Beyoncé & Jay-Z and more at The 7th Annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball

Even the heavy New York City winds couldn’t dim the star power at Keep a Child Alive’s 7th Annual Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday night (Sept. 30). The star-studded charity gala, which raised money for HIV/AIDS treatment, featured appearances and performances by Sade, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Usher, Swizz Beatz, Jennifer Hudson, Janelle Monáe, and more.

The belle of the ball, host Alicia Keys, lived out her dream by singing with Sade. “It was the most difficult thing I ever had to do in my life, to try to pick one song,” revealed the pregnant songstress, who finally decided upon “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.” “I lost sleep over it actually.”

Janelle Monáe gained new fans with her “Tightrope” walking and Swizz Beatz joined Jay-Z for “On to the Next One,” as his pretty in pink wife looked on. Alicia helped Jay cap the evening in their hometown by channeling Frank Sinatra with an impromptu performance of “New York, New York,” before closing with “Empire State of Mind.”

Keep a Child Alive charity brought in a little over $2.4 million for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.

Out & About: Rihanna Hosts A Bachelorette Party For Katy Perry à la Cirque Du Soleil Along With Strippers

Katy Perry isn’t letting her fiance’s recent arrest get in the way of her having a good time as she celebrated on Saturday her bachelorette party.

Perry, sporting a veil from the bottom of the back of her bikini (think a peacock), arrived at Las Vegas’s Hard Rock Hotel Beach Club pool with an entourage of 25 who included Rihanna and inflatable objects consistent with bachelorette parties, People.com reported.

The large group reportedly went unnoticed as they indulged on champagne, beer and vodka and feasted on finger foods in their VIP cabana.

Perry, wearing a white bikini and sunglasses, appeared to be at ease, she may have been gearing up for a crazier alcohol-fueled night. Shortly after arriving at the pool, she tweeted, “Signing up for a liver transplant now.”

Perry laughed with her friends and briefly danced to the music, but seemed to relish the relaxing environment.

Following their time at pool, Perry and friends reportedly hopped into a stretch Hummer limo to check out Cirque Du Soleil’s “KA” at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, with Perry sporting a lively looking D&G gown. The night, however, was far from over.

Following dinner at Ago, the group headed to XS nightclub, where they sat in a VIP table. Perry, wearing a sparkling black cocktail dress and miniature top hat with a veil. Though Perry and RiRi remained low-key as they sipped Grey Goose at the club, the night was nowhere near finished for the bride-to-be and her BFF, who organized the Sin City event.

Following the club, the group reportedly headed over to Sapphire strip club,where Perry was spotted checking out the female dancers who danced to her songs. She also apparently received a lap dance of  her own from a blonde dancer before the group headed to a private skybox – away from the public’s eye.

The singer’s bachelorette party comes one day after her fiancé Russell Brand was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for attacking a photographer. According to police, Brand, 35, was set off by one of the paparazzi aiming a camera up Perry‘s dress.

The photographer made a citizen’s arrest of the star, who was then taken into custody and arrested for misdemeanor battery. After the incident, Perry tweeted, “If you cross the line & try an[d] put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me.”

Back in April, Rihanna had spilled the beans that Perry and Brand will return to the site of their New Year’s Eve engagement in India to tie the knot later this year.

Just In: Rihanna is looking cheerful while in NYC

Beaming Rihanna puts her troubles behind her to enjoy a night out on the town…

Rihanna was all smiles as she headed out for a night out with friends in Manhattan.

But the R&B singer was clearly determined to put her troubles behind her as she headed out for a night out on the town in New York.

Wearing sunglasses and a big grin, there were no signs of the ordeal which left the 21-year-old with a swollen and bruised face last month.

Rihanna appeared in good spirits and was seen laughing and joking with one of her friends as they headed out in the back of a car.

The night out is thought to be a belated birthday night out for the star, who was forced to cancel her 21st celebrations last month in the wake of the alleged attack.

She is said to have reconcilled with Brown earlier this month after a stay at millionaire producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ $20million home in Florida.

However the 19-year-old recording artist, who was charged with two felonies for the beating, was nowhere to be seen on the birthday night out.
