Inside Jigga's B*Day


Jay-Z and Beyoncé couldn't be more in love - especially after she ambushed him with a mind-blowing three-day birthday party. But don't count on them getting married this weekend.
The New York Post trumpeted on Tuesday that the star couple were bound for a "rap wedding" disguised as a 37th-birthday party. The paper said that after boarding "a yacht in St. Barts," the guests "will also be ferried over to Anguilla for the wedding at Cap Juluca."
The couple actually won't be anywhere near Anguilla, our sources vouch. What's more, they're already back from the birthday party.
Here's what really happened:
Monday night, right after Beyoncé walked the red carpet at the New York premiere of "Dreamgirls," she shanghaied her unsuspecting rap-star boyfriend to an airport where she'd chartered two customized 757s. (One had a 20-seat movie theater.)
Waiting were about 20 of their closest friends, including Beyoncé's Destiny's Child sista Kelly Rowland and music and marketing honchos like Lyor Cohen, Steve Stoute and Kevin Lyles.
After an in-flight feast prepared by two chefs, the gang touched down in St. Martin, where everyone boarded a 270-foot yacht.
For the next two days, Jay and his friends did the biggest of pimpin'. Two helicopters were on standby, and the lobster and Champagne - Jay-Z's own Ace of Spades vintage - flowed. There was swimming, snorkeling and even a four-man minisub to take guests on deep-sea explorations.
"The party must have cost $1 million a day," estimates one source.
The revelers finally returned yesterday morning. Jay stopped off in Miami for the Art Basel fest, where he was said to be considering a $7 million painting.
Rather than honeymoon, Jay is due to be here in town this weekend, possibly watching football.
As to when he and Beyoncé will get hitched, he's still guarding his cards. Next Tuesday on Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People" special on ABC, Walters asks him, "Do you see marriage in the near future?"
"Of course," he says.
How near?
"I don't know. I don't."

People just need to leave them alone they will be married in their own time just like their dating came out when they were ready for it to come out. Just be PATIENT it's going to happen.
