Entourage star Adrian Grenier is looking to cash in on his forthcoming birthday - by reportedly charging clubs a fee for the “honour” of hosting his party.

The actor, who has previously charged $30,000 for his band the Honey Brothers to play gigs, is set to turn 32 on 10 July - and has allegedly been shopping around his celebrations to the highest-bidding venue.

A source tells New York gossip column Page Six, “He’s been asking clubs in the Hamptons for $50,000 for the honour of throwing him a birthday party.”

A rep for Grenier denies the star has played a role in negotiating the deal, claiming it is his “entrepreneurial” manager who is booking the bash.

Jay-Z is ecstatic with the way his performance was received by revellers at English music festival Glastonbury - branding the experience “amazing”.

Carter prompted a media furore after it was announced he would headline the event at the festival Pyramid Stage - prompting rocker Noel Gallagher to say: “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong. Jay-Z’s got no chance.”

But the negative press he received spurred the hip-hop mogul on to wow the crowd - and he’s proud of his on-stage achievements.

He tells MTV News, “It was a historic night for Glastonbury and for myself (as) it’s the first time a hip-hop act had headlined.”

And the star used Gallagher’s hit track Wonderwall to open his Saturday night set, because he knew the mainly British audience would understand the irony behind the decision.

He says, “That’s my sense of humour. I have a sense of humour like a Brit so I thought people would appreciate that. Noel Gallagher was one of the biggest detractors so I figured that was a cool way to start the show.”

“I play that song (Wonderwall) a lot at my restaurant on Friday nights - after we’ve had a few drinks it works really well. That’s how I knew it so well.”

And when asked if he would play the festival again, the rapper adds, “Of course. It was incredible. I even had wellies in the car but I didn’t need them!”

They were celebrating Ben and Jen’s 3rd wedding anniversary!

Ben Affleck says life at home is “pretty great.”

“We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home,” Affleck told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush for The Billy Bush Show Friday.

Earlier this week, E!’s Ted Casablanca speculated Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner were close to splitting.

Garner’s rep denied the report, telling Usmagazine.com, “There is not one ounce of truth to it.”

This summer, the dad to two-year-old Violet plans on taking it easy.

“I’m at a point now where even… vacation sort of feels a little bit like work,” Affleck told Bush. “I’d rather just kind of chill and take it easy.”

Of course Affleck has been busy.

The actor traveled through the Congo filming as a guest correspondent for Nightline about the war torn country.

“It’s definitely changed me,” Affleck said of the experience. “It’s definitely been a part of… I guess a growing sense that I have a responsibility to do something with my life that’s other than just serving mileage in some way… You have a responsibility to your kid and also a responsibility to the world around you, so all that [is] part of the motivation for doing all this stuff.”

A ringless Guy Richie was photographed Monday at London’s Heathrow Airport for a flight to New York, presumably to meet up with Madonna.

The two spent this past weekend apart as split rumors swirl.

Looking anguished, Madonna, 49 attended Sabbath service at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC on Friday and Saturday (along with her three children and daughter Lourdes’ biological dad Carlos Leon).

The singer — who was not wearing a wedding ring — ignored photographers’ repeated questions if divorce rumors were true.

As the singer prayed Saturday, Richie, 39, turned to pal Trudie Styler (who introduced him to Madonna) for support in London.

Madonna and Richie haven’t been spotted together in weeks (they were last photographed at London’s Kabbalah Centre on June 3).

Last week, The Times of London reported that she had met with high-powered British divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his split from Heather Mills.

According to The Times, Richie has been meeting with a lesser-known law firm, Forsters

It is believed that the couple (who wed in 2000) did not have a prenup, according to The Times. (Madonna is worth an estimated $600 million.)

Richie’s mother, Lady Amber Leighton, denied any split rumors in an interview with London’s Mail On Sunday.

“They are no different to most other couples and we all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses,” she said.

A man who was reportedly attacked by Amy Winehouse at legendary English music festival Glastonbury states he is “disappointed” by the star’s actions - because it was a case of mistaken identity.

The 24-year-old was singing her hit track Rehab to 75,000 fans on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday when she jumped down into the security pit.

The star - who has been receiving medical attention for the lung disease emphysema - then appeared to turn on a member of the crowd, striking a fan with her fist.

Festival organizer Michael Eavis and a spokesperson for the Winehouse quickly defended her actions, insisting she only lost her temper because someone tried to manhandle her and pull her hair.

But James Gostelow, the fan who felt the brunt of the star’s fiery display at the event, insists he was the wrong person to get hit - because it was a reveller behind him who had upset the singer.

He tells BBC online, “I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy’s beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me.”

However Gostelow, who states he has no intention of taking the issue further by making an official complaint, claims he is pleased with Winehouse’s outburst - because it got him close to the star.

He says, “At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience. I’m just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act. Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake (the hand of) the person who threw the hat.”
