Must be pizza on the brain!
Rihanna was spotted grabbing a late-night bite at Made In New York Pizza in the West Village last Friday night.
We’re told the “Diamonds” singer ordered “a variety of pies” from the establishment, including their pepperoni and vodka sauce selections.
“She brought them across the street to WXOU Radio Bar to hand out slices to guests,” the source shared, referring to the local watering hole where she proceeded to party with pals until nearly 4 a.m.
The pop star, 38, was seen wearing sunglasses indoors as she posed for photos with the cheesy slices.
“She was incredibly friendly with the staff and all guests,” the source said.
That same evening, “Cats” legend Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical alter ego, DJ Webz, stopped traffic on West 44th Street with a post-show set outside the Broadhurst Theatre. The surprise show was to celebrate “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” and the impressive nine Tony nominations the production has received.
Spies told Page Six that the crowd packed the block as Webber spun tunes with DJ Bill Coleman, joined by cast members and a handful of icons from the New York ballroom scene.
But the party nearly lost one of its nine lives when the outdoor setup overpowered the generator, briefly threatening to silence the whole affair. Fortunately, someone managed to get the power back up, and the crowd went right back to dancing in the street until police finally dispersed the fans around 12:30 a.m.
Lloyd Webber’s DJ career previously began down the block on 44th Street when “The Phantom of the Opera” reopened post-pandemic, leading to DJ’ing offers in Ibiza and Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, last Thursday night in NYC, “Summer House” star KJ Dillard and actor Joshua Bassett linked up at Kid Cudi’s Madison Square Garden concert to celebrate the rapper officially joining We Are Enough.
Founded by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, the foundation is a cultural intervention designed to challenge the epidemic of “not enough” and inspire conversations around healing and emotional well-being.
Last Tuesday, Broadway stars came together to celebrate the career of the talented Shoshana Bean as she received her portrait on the wall of the iconic Sardi’s Restaurant.
Guests in attendance included Pink and her daughter, Willow, along with 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 Louis Bourzgui.
Over at New York City Center, there was a press event for the production of “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been.” Guests included Michael McKean, Andrew McCarthy, Brooks Ashmanskas, David Krumholtz and Steven Boyer.
Also, Steph and Ayesha Curry were spotted at the Off-Broadway opening of the one-man show “Small,” starring Robert Montano.
The after-party was held at the West Bank Cafe on West 42nd.
The following evening, Sesame Workshop hosted its 23rd annual benefit gala, where Hoda Kotb was honored with the Joan Ganz Cooney Award.
The event was hosted by her “Today” co-anchor Craig Melvin at Cipriani 42nd Street and featured special appearances by John Oliver and the Muppets of Sesame Street, as well as a special musical performance by will.i.am.
