BEYONCE & JAY-Z CLOSE PART OF MIAMI ZOO TO CELEBRATE BLUE IVY SECOND BIRTHDAY

 

 

 The adorable Blue Ivy is all grown up well that is into her terrible two's.  And with two of the most famous parents in the world nothing is too good for little Blue. The pair decided to close down the Jungle Island bird sanctuary within Miami Zoo to ensure Blue had her every wish fulfilled at the bash on Tuesday. 

According to reports, Beyoncé and her hubby went all out to ensure the jungle-themed bash was a huge success.  And while the costs of putting on such an event have yet to be revealed, the cost of just a VIP tour at the sanctuary and botanical garden is around $240 - which means closing the entire venue is likely to be in the region of thousands of dollars. 

Her parents' generosity meant that Blue saw in her second birthday surrounded by a host of exotic animals, including penguins, kangaroos and lemurs.

Later in the day, Blue, Beyoncé and Jay Z were seen enjoying lunch at Joey's restaurant in Miami, where they ordered two salads and two pizzas.

Pictures of the family at the eatery showed Blue looking adorable in a khaki and gold long-sleeved T-shirt with a tutu-style skirt, black socks and leopard-print trainers.  The little girl managed a smile as she was carried by her superstar father, who opted for a grey sweatshirt, baggy black trousers and baseball cap. 

Bey, meanwhile, showed off her slim figure in a pair of grey skinny jeans, black top and heavy gold necklace.

Nothing like love of any shade but there is truly something special when "Black Love" happens.  After five years, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still deep in love. The power couple, who will celebrate their fifth anniversary in April, graces the February 2014 issue of Ebony. The pop diva dons a red dress and heels, while her husband rocks a matching red blazer while standing in a pool.

The issue, which celebrates black love, also features other hot couples including Ciara and Future and LeBron James and Savannah Brinson.

In the magazine, Mariah and Nick open up about love, Dem Babies, and Mariah’s upcoming album The Art of Letting Go.

During her appearance on NBC’s “New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly,” Mariah announced that her new single would drop on Valentine’s Day, with her album to follow in the spring.

And in over Ebony Cover news, LaLa Anthony and her NBA baller husband Carmelo are also on a cover couple for EBONY Magazine's Valentine's issue. 

When asked what ignites their love and how they maintain the passion in their relationships, the twosome said:

“There were people coming in and out of my life, and I didn’t really know whom to trust. She was one of the people who stood by my side through thick and thick. Even to this day, she’s always right there.” 

–Carmelo Anthony

“…We knew no matter what, we wanted each other. We needed [to be] in each other’s life, and that’s what’s been able to sustain this relationship all those years.”

–La La Anthony

Actors David and Tamela Mann are on the third cover.  And advice from the veteran couple:

“Stay in love because when you’re in love, it covers a multitude of fault. Our relationship wasn’t based on good sex or having a lot of money. It was based on just straight friendship. That’s what has kept us.”

–David
