Harvey Weinstein restarts the entertainment at his Oscars party for Beyonce and Jay Z
Beyonce and Jay Z are pretty much the Queen and King of the celebrity world, so it comes as no surprise that the pair get special treatment by other stars as well as their loyal fans.
In fact, it has been reported that Harvey Weinstein restarted the entertainment at his pre-Oscars party after he learned that Bey and Jay had arrived late, consequently missing the beginning of the performance.
The pair made a surprise appearance at the movie mogul’s annual Oscar bash on Saturday, but when they arrived Cynthia Erivo, Chris Jackson and Corbin Bleu were already in the middle of their ‘In The Heights’ musical theatre medley.
The singers had been introduced by In The Heights’ creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the New York Post’s Page Six column claim that Harvey asked the singers to start again.
Poking fun at Jay Z’s lateness, Weinstein quipped: “He’s got a good reason if you look at his wife.”
Despite all of the fuss that their arrival triggered, it is thought that pregnant Beyonce and her hubby left the party after just 30 minutes, however, Weinstein may have had an ulterior motive for the couple to watch the performance as Jay Z is going to be one of the producers on the movie version of In The Heights, which The Weinstein Company are making.
In The Heights is Lin-Manuel’s first Broadway success, with the star going on to have unprecedented success with his musical ‘Hamilton’ as well as earning an Oscar nomination for his work on Disney’s 2016 film, Moana.
