  • Beyoncé, Jay-Z, & Blue Ivy Spotted in L.A. for Grammy Week

Still coming off her Super Bowl halftime high, Beyoncé jetted to L.A. with Jay-Z for Grammy week. The superstar couple lunched at Gjelina in Venice with their one-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on Thursday.
The paparazzi scrambled to get a shot of the famous family as they left the trendy eatery, while security attempted to block the shot. Bey ducked her head as she walked to the car, Jay held a baby bottle, and Bey’s bodyguard carried Blue Ivy, who was tucked safely away in her car seat.

Later in the evening, they were spotted at the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. for Solange’s sold-out show. They mingled in VIP with Rihanna, Timbaland, Pharrell, Kylie Minogue, Melanie Fiona, and Bridget Kelly.
Beyoncé is in town to present at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, where she is nominated for Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Love On Top.”
