Gabourey Sidibe celebrating birthday in Europe at Beyonce gig

Gabourey Sidibe is celebrating her 30th birthday by flying to Europe to see Beyonce in concert this week (begs13May13).

The Precious star marked the milestone on 6 May (13), but she spent her special day working on her latest film project in Los Angeles.

However, Sidibe is planning on celebrating her birthday in spectacular style by heading to Italy to see the Crazy in Love hitmaker's concert in Milan on Saturday (18May13).

Speaking to chat show host Wendy Williams, she says, "I had to shoot in L.A. and so I was shooting a movie and they threw me a birthday party which was really sweet but the real celebration happens this week - I'm going to Rome and then to Milan to see Beyonce in concert."
