Rapper Jay Z’s Made in America music festival is coming to downtown L.A.’s Grand Park despite concern from one City Council member that the influx of thousands of people attending multiple stages with access to beer could create a “nightmare.”

Jay-Z and Kanye West are both known for their powerful solo albums, but perhaps the two have found a second calling as collaborators. “Watch the Throne” – which is a joint effort from the two rappers – is an outright success and is one of the best albums I have had the opportunity to listen to this year.

Tom Ford knows how to work the spotlight. During last year’s awards season, the designer-director was riding the success of his first film, “A Single Man.” This time around, he’s introducing his long-awaited women’s collection and new boutique on Rodeo Drive with a star-studded opening party Thursday.
