Beyoncé and Jay Z look surprisingly carefree as they laugh off Solange's vicious attack at basketball game

A video showing Beyoncé Knowles' sister Solange attacking Jay Z took the internet by storm on Monday.
But the couple surprisingly were not keeping a low profile after news of the fight, which took place last week, broke.
Instead, the singer and rapper went to watch the Brooklyn Nets play Miami Heat at the Barclays Center in New York on Monday evening.

And Beyoncé and Jay Z did their best to seem completely unfazed by the release of the dramatic footage, which was captured on surveillance camera in an elevator at The Standard hotel after the Met Gala, held at New York's Metropolitan Museum Of Art on May 5.
Instead, the pair were laughing and looking carefree as they sat courtside during the basketball game.
Beyoncé, 32, looked glamorous in a denim jumpsuit and black sandals with intricately designed gold heels.

Meanwhile Jay Z, real name Shawn Carter, was casually clad in a white T-shirt and trainers, along with black trousers and a gold chain around his neck.
Beyoncé was seen leaving the party with Solange after the fight, while Jay Z headed home alone in a separate car.
A few days later, the sisters apparently made a getaway to Costa Rica, where they apparently joined Kelly Rowland for her secret wedding.

According to Us Weekly, Kelly's wedding took place on Friday and was a 'quick, simple ceremony - only around 30 people.'
On Thursday, three days after the attack in an elevator at The Standard hotel in New York, Beyoncé and Solange arrived in Costa Rica onboard a private plane around 7:56pm, according to E!.
It comes after it was reported in local paper La Nación that their mother Tina Knowles, Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams and Kelly's fiance Tim Witherspoon were also in Costa Rica, suggesting it was for Kelly and Tim's nuptials, which has now been confirmed by UsWeekly.

Beyoncé did little to quash the rumours as she posted a picture on her Instagram, looking as though she was dressed in a bridesmaid outfit.
In the shocking video, Solange was lashing out wildly at her brother-in-law, 44, with both her arms and her legs, while her sister stood beside them looking curiously impassive.
The seemingly unprovoked attack plays out in footage obtained by TMZ.

Solange can be clearly be seen kicking and swinging violently at Jay Z, the father of her two-year-old niece, Blue Ivy, after the trio step into the elevator.
The clip shows a man who appears to be a bodyguard holding her back, but the 27-year-old still manages to rain blows on Jay Z several times.
The bodyguard can also be seen pushing the emergency stop button in the elevator at the 12th floor, no doubt stop the fight spilling out in front of photographers. 
During the frenzied altercation, Jay Z grabs Solange's stiletto clad foot to block a kick but never attempts to retaliate.

A STATEMENT FROM THE STANDARD HOTEL

While there still has been no word from either Beyonce or Jay Z's representatives, a spokesperson from The Standard Hotel in New York City has made a statement. Following calls regarding the leaked CCTV footage, reps for The Standard Hotel told MailOnline, they were 'shocked and disappointed' in what had been a 'clear breach of our security system'.
They said in a statement: 'We are investigating with the utmost urgency the circumstances surrounding the situation and, as is our customary practice, will discipline and prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest capacity.'

It's not yet known what provoked the fight, however, the famous couple looked as happy as ever as they attended another Brooklyn Nets game on Saturday while Solange played a gig in New York.
Rather tellingly, Jay Z had his arms affectionately around Solange's son who is known as Juelz, now nine, as the family sat courtside.
Beyoncé and Jay Z have remained silent on Twitter following the incident, but Solange rather oddly tweeted on Sunday: 'This might have been top 10 days ever in life.'
It has also been claimed that Solange yelled at Rachel Roy earlier at the after party, held at the Standard's Boom Boom Room, with Us Weekly's source adding that Beyoncé 'got in the middle of it'.

Kim Kardashian's daughter North heard calling father Kanye West 'Dada' in new video

She's already saying 'Dada.'
When Kanye West surprised fiancée Kim Kardashian with a wall of white flowers on Sunday - Mother's Day - the reality star took a video of the floral arrangement to show the world just how fabulous it was.
During the clip her daughter North, aged 11 months, could be heard saying 'Dada,' to which the 33-year-old answered back, 'Yeah, daddy.' According to a Monday report from UsWeekly, the granddaughter of Kris Jenner has yet to say 'mama.'
Scroll down for video...

Kim, who does not appear on camera, is overheard saying, 'Wall of roses, hydrangeas and peonies for Mother's Day' as she films around the wall of flowers which appears to be placed in the backyard of the Jenner mansion in Hidden Hills, California.
The family has been staying there while their Bel-Air home is being renovated.
The E! star also shared a photo of the arrangement on Instagram. 'I woke up to a wall of roses, hydrangeas and peonies!!! I have the best fiancé in the world! I love you so much baby!!!! #HappyMothersDay,' Kim captioned the Instagram snap.
The couple will be reunited in over a week when they met in Paris for their May 24 nuptials.

Also on Sunday Kim shared a black-and-white photo of herself holding North as she lay on her back in a white dress. The shot looks to be taken in the child's room as a Lucite crib can be seen in the background as well as the baby's stuffed giraffe.
'This little girl has changed my world in more ways than I ever could have imagined!' she captioned the picture. 'Being a mom is the most rewarding feeling in the world! Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms out there!'

Rihanna glams up in modest Chanel frock as she throws Mother's Day bash for her nearest and dearest in Malibu

After being spotted perusing possible new houses in Malibu on Saturday, it seems that Rihanna either found one or was taking one for a test drive as she threw a fun Mother's Day party for her nearest and dearest on Sunday.
The songstress played hostess to a small group of pals, including bestie Melissa Forde, congregating on the outside patio that was bathed in sunshine on the warm spring day.
The Barbadian beauty was looking lovely as she covered up for a change in a modest black Chanel dress with frilly layered skirt featuring large white polka-dot print containing the famed interlocking 'double C' logo.
'Mother's Day everyday!!!' Rihanna got all dressed up as she threw a party for her nearest and dearest at a mansion in Malibu on Sunday, celebrating with what appeared to be a champagne cocktail as she soaked up the sun on the sprawling patio at the house perched high up in the hills

She donned silver strappy stilettos that matched her collection of several layered silver necklaces.
Her long jet-black locks were worn in a sleek, smooth style, while she was made up to the nines with plenty of complementary cosmetics.
Her eyes were brought out with smoky shadow and lashings of mascara, while her skin was golden and glowing, her look completed with a slick of matte red lipstick on her naturally plump pout.
The mansion, which appeared to be high up in the hills with a picturesque view, was nicely decorated with huge colourful floral arrangements in celebration of the gathering.
And a celebration it was, with the 26-year-old carrying what appeared to be a champagne cocktail with her throughout the duration of the bash.
Host with the most! The songstress looked lovely in a black Chanel frock with frilly layered skirt featuring large white polka-dots containing the interlocking 'double C' logo, her long raven locks worn down in a sleek style, her face beautifully made up with smoky eyes and matte red lips

Taking to Twitter to commemorate the occasion, she posted a sweet message to mom Monica along with a photo.
'Queen doe. I am to she what she is to me, ERRTHANG!!! I love you gra!! Mother's Day everyday!!! #Mommy #MamaFentz,' she tweeted her more than 35 million followers.
After giving a pretty blonde a tour around the sprawling property, RiRi was then seen being filmed
by a videographer as the pair chatted down in the garden, next to a large chicken coop.
While it's not known if Rihanna is in the process of purchasing that particular Malibu mansion or simply borrowed/hired it for the day, she has been scouting the area in recent weeks after listing
her Pacific Palisades home for sale in late March.
The Diamonds hitmaker is reportedly asking for $14.995 million for the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom, almost 10,000 square-foot residence, according to AOL.
Somewhere to lay down roots? The sprawling property - which the star may or may not be in the process of purchasing after she was spotted house hunting in the area - was nicely decorated with huge colourful floral arrangements, while the gardens featured plenty of beautiful red flowers

Cindy Crawford on learning to love her signature beauty spot - and how she keeps in shape at 48

After 31 years of modeling, Cindy Crawford has certainly learned her fair share of beauty secrets.
Opening up in a rare interview, the 48-year-old mother-of-two reveals her top tips for looking young, how her hair is actually gray - 'but not 100per cent', and how it was her mother who convinced her to keep her now iconic beauty spot.
'She talked me out of getting my "ugly mark" -- as my sister called it -- removed,' Ms Crawford told Into The Gloss.

'I would get teased by the other kids in school, so I definitely wanted to get it removed,' she recalled. 'But my mother always said, "You know what your mole looks like, you don’t know what the scar is going to look like."
She admitted, however, that if she had the choice, she wouldn't have 'designed' her face with the mole.
'It does look weird when they retouch it or when they flop a photo. Other people don’t notice it but I’m like, "They flopped it!" My whole face is different. That's one of the things that drives me crazy.'
The Illinois-native, whose first modeling job was in Chicago after being selected as a finalist in Elite's first ever Look of the Year contest, revealed that she learned her make-up tricks from fellow models Iman and Diane deWitt.

'You had to do your own hair and makeup [back then]. But I didn’t have any makeup, so I think my mom got a little Mary Kay lipstick and I went out and bought mascara and foundation from a drugstore,' she explained.
'I was pretending like I knew what I was doing, but I was really just watching what they were doing, and that’s kind of how I learned.'
The supermodel, who is worth approximately $100million and in 2011 started her own skincare line Meaningful Beauty, said that these days she only works one to two days per month on fashion editorials.
'It depends if I feel like doing it and feel like it’s the right thing,' she said, before confessing: 'Honestly, the reason I do shoots now is because if I don’t do them, every day turns into a Throwback Thursday because I’m only showing up in old pictures.

'I’m from a generation in which social media and being online is not second nature, so I still have to think about it,' she said.
When it comes to keeping her body toned, the supermodel also opened up about her weekly diet, which usually consists of a protein shake for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch and sushi for dinner.
If she cooks at home, however, Ms Crawford will make a meal like turkey meatballs with pasta, a salad, and a vegetable.
'I just don’t have the pasta, and the kids don’t have the vegetables or the salad,' she laughed.
'I don’t like when my meals are completely different from their meals, but that works. I mostly drink water, because there are a lot of hidden calories in drinks.'

Mary-Kate Olsen hints at plans to make her own bridal gown for wedding to Olivier Sarkozy

Mary-Kate Olsen has hinted she might make her own wedding dress. 
The 27-year-old fashion designer - who previously worked on a bridal gown for a friend with her sister and design partner Ashley - hasn't thought about what to wear for her own big day since getting engaged to Oliver Sarkozy in March, but has toyed with the idea of creating a dress herself. 
She told WWD: 'I'm not even there yet. I think it may be a matter of getting five or six, or making two or three and being stressed out. That seems kind of far away. We'll take one step at a time.'

The Olsen sisters are preparing to open the first standalone shop for their The Row label in their hometown, Los Angeles, after deciding against their adopted city of New York.
Mary-Kate said: 'We've always wanted our own store - it's always been part of the plan.
'It was a toss-up between New York and Los Angeles, and when this space became available, we jumped on it. It used to be a hair salon and my sister and I used to come here, so we were very aware of the space.'
Ashley chimed in: 'We are from here, and The Row started here, so it was all very appropriate.'
The dress: 'I think it may be a matter of getting five or six, or making two or three and being stressed out,' Mary-Kate (right, with Ashley at the Met Gala) said. 'That seems kind of far away. We'll take one step at a time'

The store is tucked away in Melrose Place and unusually boasts a swimming pool in the courtyard, as well as offices where the sisters will work. 
Mary Kate added: 'We have all 170 pieces in our collection represented here. A lot of stores obviously don't buy the whole collection, maybe 20per cent, so this is really the place where we can present it like a showroom.'
Mary-Kate revealed her engagement to French banker Olivier Sarkozy in March.
Olivier, whose half-brother is former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, has two children from a previous marriage - ten-year-old daughter Margot and 12-year-old son Julien.

Pippa Middleton's 'Sports and Social' newspaper column is cancelled after only six months because 'readers just weren't into it'

Pippa Middleton's column in The Telegraph has been axed after just six months.
According to Us Weekly, a source at the paper said that readers 'just weren't into' her fortnightly Sports and Social pieces, which touched on various themes from boxing and rowing to shucking oysters and flipping pancakes.
'There was a lot of negative mail coming in after each column and there were too many off-limit subjects for her,' said the source. 'They ran out of ideas.'

Pippa's most recent piece for the Telegraph was published on March 29. It featured a recipe for a pasta dish, which she said was 'perfect for post-exercise recovery.'
In another article called 'Pippa: turning crêped crusader for Pancake Day,' she explored London to find which restaurants make the best pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.
The news that her contract with the Telegraph has not been renewed comes just days after the younger Middleton sister was seen debuting a brand new hairstyle - a long bob - at the Waitress summer party.

The 30-year-old brunette wore her hair loose and unstyled, lending her emerald green lace dress a relaxed feel.
Another literary disappointment: In 2012 she launched an entertaining manual called Celebrate, which sold a mere 18,000 copies

It's not the first time Pippa, who has been dating investment banker Nico Jackson for 18 months, has faced disappointing news regarding her literary efforts.
In 2012 she launched an entertaining manual called Celebrate, which had a slew of negative reviews.
The book reportedly sold a mere 18,000 copies, and Amazon was forced to slash the price in a bid to shift copies.
A spoof Twitter account called Pippatips was even created to mock the 'banal' party hints contained in Celebrate. The account has more than 51,000 followers.
It was reported in February that her publishers at Viking Press dropped her shortly thereafter.
The Telegraph may have cut her short, but there are other ways readers can continue to enjoy Pippa's prose.
Her work will still appear in supermarket magazine Waitrose Kitchen as well as Vanity Fair.
She has also contributed to The Spectator magazine since December 2012.
