TIP-TASTIC LUNCHING

Showing off her curvy figure, Beyonce Knowles poses on the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin on November 5. The buxom songstress chose a shiny mirror plated Atelier Versace gown with a glossy liquid train and hourglass boosting shape (add metallic shine to your 'fit with Sue Wong's dazzling Beaded Gown with Deep V Back in Black/Nude or play up the nude shade with Ingwa Melero's Angelina Maxi Dress in Sand, and add a little metal with Amrita Singh's Allie Bangle Set in Multi). B could have done something more exciting with her hair but otherwise I think this look is gorgeous, don't you agree? It seems like Beyonce has been out of the public eye a lot lately, but she made up for it at the awards show with a spectacular rendition of "Sweet Dreams" in red lingerie and stole the show with 3 awards for Best Video, Best Song and Best Female Artist. While getting ready for their European vacay, B dined at Nello on the Upper East Side with her man last week, joining their entourage for a meal that topped $1200. Their waiter told the paps they left an incredibly generous tip to show their appreciation for attentive service – over $500! Their lunch included white truffles, lobster salad and Dom Perignion bubbly, so I can only imagine a meal that decadent would render me senseless too! To put them to shame, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich dined at the restaurant a few days later and managed to rack up a $47,000 bill with a cool $7,000 tip. What in the world is the Nello chef cooking up that is so pricey? I'd love to know!
