It’s definitely pizza for the brain!
Last Friday night, Rihanna was spotted grabbing a late-night snack at Made in New York Pizza in the West Village.
We’re told the “Diamonds” singer ordered “a variety of pies” from the store, including selections with pepperoni and vodka sauce.
“She took them across the street to the WXOU radio bar to hand out slices to her guests,” a source said of the local watering hole where she continued partying with friends until nearly 4 a.m.
The 38-year-old pop star was spotted indoors wearing sunglasses and posing for a photo with a slice of cheese.
“She was incredibly friendly to all the staff and guests,” the source said.
That same night, DJ Webbs, the musical alter ego of “Cats” legend Andrew Lloyd Webber, performed a post-show outside the Broadhurst Theater, stopping traffic on West 44th Street. The surprise show was a celebration of Cats: The Jellicle Ball and its impressive nine Tony Award nominations.
Spies told Page Six that the audience packed the block, joined by cast members and several icons of the New York ballroom scene, as Webber spun tunes with DJ Bill Coleman.
However, the party nearly loses one of their nine lives when the outdoor equipment overpowers the generator, temporarily threatening to silence the entire incident. Fortunately, someone managed to restore power, and the crowd soon began dancing in the street, before police finally dispersed the fans around 12:30 a.m.
Lloyd Webber’s DJ career previously began on 44th Street when The Phantom of the Opera restarted after the pandemic, leading to offers to DJ in Ibiza and Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, in New York last Thursday night, Summerhouse star KJ Dillard and actor Joshua Bassett attended Kid Cudi’s Madison Square Garden concert to celebrate his official addition to We Are Enough.
Founded by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, the foundation is a cultural intervention aimed at countering the “not enough” trend and encouraging conversations around healing and mental well-being.
Last Tuesday, Broadway stars gathered to celebrate the career of the talented Shoshana Bean, with her portrait hanging on the walls of the iconic Sardi’s Restaurant.
Guests in attendance included Pink and her daughter Willow, as well as Billy Porter, Joe Locke, Dylan Mulvaney, Jordan Fisher, Jason Robert Brown, Victor Garber, JoJo, Ben Vereen, Eden Espinosa and Donna Murphy. Also in attendance were Marc Shaiman, Benjamin Pajak, LJ Benet, and Ali Luis Burzgui.
A production presentation for “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been” was held at New York City Center. Guests included Michael McKean, Andrew McCarthy, Brooks Ashmanskas, David Krumholtz, and Stephen Boyer.
Steph and Ayesha Curry were also spotted attending the off-Broadway opening of the one-person play “Small,” starring Robert Montano.
The afterparty was held at the West Bank Cafe on West 42nd.
The following evening, Sesame Workshop held its 23rd annual philanthropy gala, where Hoda Kotb was honored with the Joan Ganz Cooney Award.
The event was hosted by Cipriani’s 42nd Street co-anchor Craig Melvin and featured special appearances by John Oliver and the Sesame Street Muppets, as well as a special musical performance by will.i.am.
