(Getty) Lil Wayne had no real reason to wear headphones to the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, let alone diamond-encrusted ones, but he didn't have any reason not to, either. The New Orleans native recently added a $1 million pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones to his impressive list of accessories; Perhaps he just felt like patting himself on the back for making Limp Bizkit relevant again.

Also in music news, Weezy shared a courtside kiss with a member of his Cash Money crew, Beyonc stepped out with her baby Blue, Bruce Springsteen is playing an intimate SXSW gig, Willow Smith is still emo tweeting, and more.

Lil' Wayne wasn't exactly trying to fly under the radar in the front row at Orlando, Florida's Amway Center on Sunday. The rapper kept a pair of diamond-encrusted headphones slung over his Trukfit baseball cap throughout the game. No word on whether he respectfully removed his excessive aural bling for Nicki Minaj's performance.

Whatever the case, Nicki extended her talons to embrace Weezy during the game, planting a smooch directly on his tatttooed face.

Beyonc and Jay-Z stepped out with the blessed baby Blue Ivy Carter over the weekend, indulging in a late lunch at Sant Ambroeus. Beyonc may be the only mom in the world who's sported thigh-high leather boots and a leopard print baby Bjorn just weeks after giving birth:

Badge and wristband holders can enter an official drawing! to dete rmine just who can attend. Suck it, scalpers!

Willow Smith is going through tough times, proving that the horrors of middle school are checked for no absolutely one. On Sunday, Smith tweeted, "Sometimes... Life sucks" and "This day has been horrific..." before elaborating, "I am regular person.... For forget that... Nobody has a PICTURE PERFECT life... I am still just a child..." The music video for St. Vincent's "Cheerleader" is far more beautifully disturbing than the performer's recent appearance on Gossip Girl. See Pitchfork for an interview with director Hiro Murai.

It's unlikely that John Mayer's going to strike back lyrically at his rumored ex-fling Taylor Swift on his upcoming album Born and Raised, but we dare to dream. Mayer hasn't yet announced a release date, but he is touring behind his new work this April.
