Gossip & Rumors
Jay-Z: Three's a Crowd

Posted Jul 11th 2006 2:14PM by TMZ Staff

With rumors swirling on blogs that the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has been acting a little too cozy with newcomer Rihanna, it definitely comes as a surprise to see the duo eating dinner along with Jay's leading lady, Beyoncé Knowles. The women appear to have settled any riff between them as they were photographed leaving Bar Pitti in New York separately last night. But take a look at Jay-Z's face ... he looks a lot less enthusiastic about the evening.



Gossip about the impresario and the Barbados babe has been making the rounds since he signed the unknown to his record label, Def Jam. With hits like "S.O.S." and the aptly titled "Unfaithful," Rihanna is on the rise -- but our money's on Beyoncé if these two ever throw down.

1. another stupid post by TMZ. you guys really need to stop using silly blogs run by stupid kids as sources. rihanna has been promoting her album like crazy and jay z and beyonce have been seen together all the time over the last two months. TMZ is losing cred by the day. Everyone who reads this site feels it.

3. To the above comment, that is so true..TMZ u're just instigating stuff about celebrities, always writing snide & sarcastic remarks..Beyonce & Jay-Z seems fine so just leave them alone. Rihanna is very pretty & she's just doing her thing..

5. Good, I am glad everyone agrees. I liked TMZ when it was about quality, not quantity.

Like, does everyone remember the TMZ post about The View being white because Susan Lucci was guest-hosting? That was really offensive to me. TMZ didn't even acknowledge the fact that she too works for ABC so it makes sense that she filled the seat for a day. And besides that, who cares that a white woman did the job for a day??!? TMZ was reeeeeeeeeeeally stretching on that one.

6. LOL its funny, cuz everyone says this on every site thats been around a certain amount of time. Is everyone going downhill? Or do people come to think these sites are something other than what they are? Do they get mad when they pick on someone they like? It's an interesting pattern...

7. I cannot believe that at all. This is the first time I saw this website and I cannot believe that you would dawg my gurl Beyonce like that!!! Jay-Z has bought her a house and she's always on his arm. If you would like to hire a reporter that knows how to get information that is true, hire me!! I'm star quality!! I love Beyonce and Jay-Z ain't half-steppin' either! I think Rhianna is cool, but she cannot touch Beyonce, talent-wise, voice-wise, and MONEY-Wise!!! You think Jay-Z wants a girl he gotta pay for???? Rhianna gotta step her game up before she even begins to be on Beyonce's level.

8. Salina, it isn't that. When TMZ starts using dlitsed.blogspot.com as a source, that is a problem. That site isn't an actual reliable source. It is some guy who posts pictures and calls them "whores" and "sluts." So when a credible site like TMZ uses that site as it's only souce, the cred of TMZ is compromised. anyway, this post was really really stupid.

11. Jay-Z, Rih, & Beyonce are all using this three way triangle to promote albums. Do people actually think if this info was true about him seeing both of them that Beyonce's people would go for it . Jay is aware that he has one of the baddest women at his side. He can't afford to lose her because he is more then aware she won't stay on the market long.

15. i agree with everyone except for this moron PEARL. b is the shiz and i am pretty sure shawn knows this. i haven't heard one story about him cheatin on her until this bullshit. the story doesn't even sound credible, rihanna? some might say she's "pretty" but that's as far as that goes... beyonce is gorgeous, flawless i should say. even the skinnier version. "now i bag B" (boy u hurtin' that!)
