    Beyonce and Jay-Z tour Havana (Ramon Espinosa/AP Photo)Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba (Ramon Espinosa/AP Photo) The average fifth wedding anniversary is marked by gifts of wood and silverware. For Beyoncé and Jay-Z, it's marked with international jet-setting and fabulousness.

    The couple was spotted walking the streets of Old Havana, Cuba, on Thursday. On the same day five years prior, the musical pair wed in an ultra-private ceremony at their Manhattan home.

    With Bey's mother Tina in tow, the security-flanked group took in sights and greeted locals. Jay looked every bit the vacationing mogul, rocking a Panama hat for their daytime tour, and later enjoying a brandy and a cigar at cocktail hour. Beyoncé, who today unveiled a snippet of her new single "Grown Woman" atop a Pepsi ad spot, rocked dramatic braids and a bold print romper.

    While travel to Cuba is restricted by the U.S. government, various groups like artists and journalists are permitted access, as well as dignitaries and educators.

  • Lily Collins: Dad Phil Supportive of Love Scenes

    Lily Collins attends Paris Fashion Week (Marc Piasecki/WireImage)For any young actress growing up in the public eye, an uneasy rite of passage is endured when she's got to prep her family for the sexual maturity of her on-screen work.

    Lucky for Lily Collins, her father, Phil, is a seasoned entertainer and not faint of heart.

    "I've just turned 24 but I'll always be their little girl," Collins told omg! of her parents, when we sat down to discuss her upcoming (and racy) roles in "The English Teacher" and "Stuck In Love."

    "My dad started as an actor," Collins said of the Genesis frontman and music legend. "It's close to his heart. It excites him to see me taking on roles about growing up but, yeah, kissing scenes aren't easy for him. And in ["Stuck In Love"] I take my top off, so that was awkward."

  • James Franco Walks in Walt Disney’s Shoes

    James Franco at Disneyland (Getty Images)As Disney's newest box office golden boy, actor James Franco enjoyed an important rite of passage Thursday: a victory tour through Disneyland.

    As "Oz: The Great and Powerful" inches closer to the $200 million mark, we're sure Mickey Mouse and his pals were happy to welcome Franco to the Southern California theme park.

  • Would You Take Candy From Leonardo DiCaprio?

    Leonardo DiCaprio (Alexandra Wyman/Getty Images)Johnny Depp may be the reigning Willy Wonka, but that's not stopping another leading man from wanting to share something sweet.

    Leonardo DiCaprio is teaming up with some famous pals to promote natural treats in time for Easter, via Unreal Candy.

    DiCaprio, with Tom Brady, Giselle Bundchen and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, has joined forces with the brand that offers "junk-free, all real versions" of holiday staples like candy-coated chocolates and peanut butter cups.

    "By working together to better understand the health of both people and the environment, we can produce healthier food that will benefit large populations of people while minimizing our impact on the planet,” DiCaprio said in a statement.

    The company also supports small businesses by sourcing its ingredients from local farmers, and boasts a 16-year-old co-founder in Nicky Bronner. (We're thinking a teenager probably knows candy pretty well.)

  • Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel Party With Pals in Sin City

    Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel (Getty Images) Newlyweds Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel jetted to Las Vegas together this weekend ... to party separately.

    Both halves of the Hollywood pair came to celebrate mutual friends' respective bachelor and bachelorette parties: Justin and a pack of boys toasted the groom-to-be, while Jessica got down with the future bride.

    Kicking off on Friday, Timberlake and company hit the Bellagio's Yellowtail for dinner, snacking on sushi and sashimi and of enjoying plenty of sake.

    An omg! onlooker says the men cheered loudly in the eatery while Biel and the girls enjoyed American fare directly across the hall at the hotel's Fix restaurant.

    Chicken wings, tuna tartar, and other small plates were passed, and the ladies made toasts to their guest of honor.

    Perhaps Friday proved too much for the guys – they dropped off the radar the next day, while Biel and her party had their run of the strip.
