Did you catch the NBA All-Star game over the weekend? As impressive as game MVP Kobe Bryant was, the event we wish we had a ticket to was Jay-Z and LeBron James‘ Saturday night “Two Kings Dinner and After-Party presented by Bing” to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles.
It was the fifth annual “Two Kings” event from the titans of hip hop and basketball, and the guest list was strictly A-list. Musicians like Rihanna, Beyonce, Drake and Kanye West mingled with actors including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Pompeo, Ryan Philippe and Jamie Foxx.
Guests nibbled on a menu made by Top Chef judge and restaurateur Tom Colicchio and listened to remarks from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and, of course, Jay-Z and LeBron, who talked about local children in need. The Boys & Girls Club is a favorite charity of James, who donated $3 million in ad revenue from his TV special “The Decision” last July to the organization.
Later in the night, Jay-Z did shots with Rihanna to celebrate her 23rd birthday just before the DJ played her hit “What’s My Name” and she started dancing.
