Last night's Jay-Z concert at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC ended on a more somber note when he asked the audience to observe a moment of silence in honor of Donda West, Kanye's mother who passed away suddenly over the weekend. Right before performing his final song, "Roc Boys" Jay-Z said to the crowd, "Let's get serious for a minute...This show is dedicated to Kanye West who had a death in the family....We got you, Kanye. Stay strong." Despite their usually hardened exterior, it's nice to hear that deep down these guys really are sweethearts and there for each other. In case you're curious, TMZ is staying on top of the story with frequent updates. Hopefully Kanye and his family are surrounded by all sorts of love during this difficult time.

Angelina and Brad went for a romantic date in London the night before the premiere of Beowulf. Most of you are liking these dramatic red lips more than her red carpet make-up look, and apparently she had a few other fashion missteps to go along with her smoky eyes. First, Angelina picked up a gross wad of gum on her black stiletto as she was walking the red carpet. Then even worse her leather pants ripped along the back seam. Sounds pretty mortifying, but luckily Brad was right there to do damage control and cover up the rip. Seeing the photos of what his job entailed, we're sure he was happy to help out.

Orlando Bloom spent some QT with his father, Colin Stone, on Sunday, catching a play together in LA. While Orlando looks pretty great on his own, there's something dreamy about seeing him with his father. Sigh. Orlando's relationship with Colin is actually pretty interesting — until he was 13-years-old Orlando thought that his biological father was someone else. Now, they've got matching mustaches to show off. Fine for dad, not so much for cute Orlando.

Penelope Cruz made her way around LA this weekend, doing her best to avoid being photographed with her man Javier Bardem. Even though these two let the cat way out of the bag with their romantic trip to the Maldives, it doesn't look like they're ready to flaunt their relationship all over the states yet. We bet they still managed to have some fun behind closed doors — Javier had a lot to celebrate this weekend since his No Country For Old Men is getting rave reviews.

Two of my very favorites Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel were hard at work together on their upcoming movie Yes Man in LA over the weekend. The movie is about a guy (Jim) who challenges himself to always answer "yes" for an entire year. Do I smell an inspirational comedy? I think so. That being said, I'll be first in line for this one. Anything that combines Jim and Zooey gets a big yes (groan) in my book.

Keri Russell showed off her amazing post-baby body getting giggly with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers at the red carpet premiere of their new movie August Rush in NYC last night. Their costars Terrence Howard, Robin Williams and Freddie Highmore (Kate Winslet's adorable son in Finding Neverland) also came out for the screening and kept cozy despite the chilly NYC night. In the movie, Keri and Jonathan play a pair of musicians who are forced to give up a baby for adoption after a one night stand, and their son uses his musical gift to find his way back to them after 11 years. Sounds like a sweet sentimental treat just in time to get us in the mood for the holidays.
