More from L.A. Reid's birthday party
Island/Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid's dramatic weight loss last year has had an effect on his artists. At his birthday dinner Tuesday night at Cipriani Downtown (hosted by his wife Erica and Def Jam honcho Karen Kwak), Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Mariah Carey all looked trim. "Everyone is in such amazing shape, it's unreal," said one onlooker.
The Reids were looking like a light rum commercial: She was stunning in a white gown, he was dapper in white linen pants and shirt and a pale green sports jacket. But it was Mariah Carey, in a snug gray dress, who had the attention of the guys in the room. (Damon Dash, get your hand off that woman's leg this instant. We all know you're the co-founder of Rocafella, but we're not sure Miss Carey is radiating delight.)
Even Ms. Carey, however, could not compete with the L.A. Lakers in the N.B.A. Finals against the Detroit Pistons. Guests asked about the score all evening and at one point a group went to Jay-Z's Mercedes-Benz Maybach to watch the game. (The New York Post and The New York Times)
