Beyonce and Gwynnie are new best friends
One is the wife of a multi-millionaire, chart-topping artist. The other is the girlfriend of a multi-millionaire, chart-topping artist.
So little surprise really that Beyoncé Knowles and Gwyneth Paltrow might have found they have something in common.
Beyonce - in town with boyfriend Jay-Z - teamed up for a day of shopping and partying with Gwyneth (aka Mrs Chris Martin) to mark the blonde actress's 34th birthday.
The Destiny's Child star's latest solo album might well have made a suitable present, as its title B'Day would suggest.
The pair shared a meal at Knightsbridge Japanese restaurant Zuma. Then it was a night at Movida for the aftershow party to mark the end of Jay-Z's UK tour, which climaxed with a sell-out at the Royal Albert Hall.
It was a relatively rare night out for mother-of-two Paltrow, but it was not the first for Beyoncé, 25, whose stay in London has seen her clubbing and partying with her boyfriend.
Both partners were on hand. Who knows, maybe the evening ended in a spot of karaoke.
