Jay-Z blings in the New Year

 

Master of ceremonies ... Jay-Z has his best bib and tucker on for NYE party

THE Rat Pack might have made their name for wild parties in Las Vegas back in the 1960s, but their hellraising tradition lives on.

Music mogul JAY-Z threw a black tie bash with famous friends including RIHANNA, KANYE WEST, 50 CENT and JENNIFER LOPEZ at the Marquee Nightclub in hotel The Cosmopolitan.

Lovely bubbly ... Bajan babe Rihanna looks keen

The entrepreneur, rapper and Mr BEYONCE KNOWLES looked like he threw a few quid at it.
Normally I'd be a bit disappointed missing out on a tear-up like that, but getting a round in would have been murder with everyone on expensive bubbly.
I was happy tucking into scotch eggs and Tennent's lager.
