Timbaland celebrates 41st birthday with casino-themed party

Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Jamie Foxx were among the A-list stars who celebrated rapper Timbaland's birthday at a casino-themed party in New York City on Thursday (14Mar13).

The superproducer, who turned 41 on 10 March (13), held the big bash at his pal Timberlake's Hell's Kitchen hot spot Southern Hospitality, where he transformed the lower level into a casino with blackjack and roulette games.

Beyonce arrived directly from a rehearsal but proceeded to get down on the dancefloor, while Jay-Z and Timberlake were spotted playing craps - with proceeds benefiting Timbaland's charity, the Always Believing Foundation.

Jessica Biel, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, Timbaland's wife Monique Mosley and Missy Elliott were also at the event, where the dress code required guests to wear "suit and ties" - a play on the Timbaland/Timberlake collaboration Suit & Tie.
