//Out & About: Beyonce, Amy Winehouse, Common//

  

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood on St. Patrick’s Day in New York City, so Beyonce took advantage and did a little shopping around town. The lovely superstar, who currently graces the cover of Vogue magazine, was spotted out and about at the Patricia Feild store in Manhattan.

  

British soul singer Amy Winehouse is unfortunately more famous for her tabloid troubles than her amazing voice and awesome music these days. She appeared in court yesterday (March 17) for a hearing on her assault charge stemming from a squabble with a fan after posing for a picture last September. She was snapped arriving at London’s City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court where she pleaded not guilty.

  

Common: rapper, actor, activist, snazzy dresser. The fresh-to-death rap star was snapped out and about attending Musicology 101 presented by Windows. He also performed at the event which was attended by hip hop legend Biz Markie, producer Rodney Jerkins, and actor Idris Elba.
