(NBC)</p></div></p>
<p>– Jay Z was not "right next to De Niro" the other night at Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday. The <em>Taxi Driver</em> star gave the Jigga a <em>Meet the Fockers</em>-level awkward greeting when Jay-Z tried to approach the King of Comedy only to get rebuffed because <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/de_niro_scolds_rude_jay_ETJCjXl2323Zh9A04bQNRN">he had never returned Bob's phone calls</a>. Even Beyoncé couldn't calm De Niro down. We're not sure whom we would less like to be mad at us, but that sounds like a party-stopper if there ever was one.</p>
<p>- If you want to get angry, here's a video of Gwyneth Paltrow <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/263441/gwyneth_paltrow_does_her_1st_max_factor_ad_thinks_shes_a_writer_lovely_or_silly/">talking about her "writer" personality</a> in a behind-the-scenes look at her new Max Factor ad. Why do we need a behind-the-scenes look at an ad? STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!</p>
<p>- Hilariously, Guy Fieri thinks that <em>The</em> N<em>ew York Times</em>’s restaurant critic had "<a href="http://gawker.com/5960823/guy-fieri-thinks-times-restaurant-critic-pete-wells-has-it-in-for-him-it-really-seemed-like-there-was-another-agenda">another agenda</a>" when he wrote his hit piece about Fieri's Times Square palace of shitty food. We're pretty sure the agenda was just a good Samaritan's public service announcement.<br />
