Beyonce Knowles reportedly refused to walk to her car in the cold after rehearsing for U.S. President Barack Obama's pre-inauguration concert.

The "If I Were A Boy" singer was furious when she was told she would have to make her own way to her car four blocks away as the surrounding streets had been shut amid heightened security before the event.

Jennifer Lopez was star struck when she met U.S. President-elect Barack Obama. The singer-and-actress attended the Latino Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening and admitted Obama was the only person she was interested in meeting.

She said: "He is the biggest star here, even though it's chock-full of celebrities. The night he won the election, you could feel it in the air. I was watching him with tears in my eyes, thinking, 'Yes. Something is different. Something is happening.' We're very excited."

Ben Affleck says his newborn daughter is "doing great." The "Gone Baby Gone" director is in Washington to support incoming U.S. President Barack Obama, but he can't stop thinking about two-week old Seraphina Rose.

He said: "She's gorgeous! She's doing great."
