Famous people out in public! (Photos via PardonMeForAsking)
Beyoncé (and her bump), Jay-Z, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Chris Martin were all hanging out in Carroll Park this weekend. Isn't that exciting? According to PardonMeForAsking, they were all "taking part in a little celebration" there yesterday, and others who witnessed this amazing scene say they were also EATING PIZZA. It's just so surreal. If you were there, send us your pics of Gwyneth getting wine cooler drunk.
And in other B news: the singer already has a new video out—"Love On Top" brings back the Boy Band days.
