It's Tribeca film festival time, and the NY-based stars put on their best outfits (yes, that's Russell Simmons' best outfit) for the annual Vanity Fair Party that kicks off the events. After the jump, a flawless Iman, an uncharacteristically-clean-looking Zoe Kravitz, and more.

Struggling actors out there surely felt like killing themselves when they found out that 50 Cent's ass is going to be co-starring alongside icons Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in a new film, instead of, say, an actual thespian. In the movie, Righteous Kill, 50 Cent will play a drug dealing police informant. In other words, he'll be the type of guy everybody hates. Hmm. Maybe he will do a good job.

In other casting news, Ludacris is set to appear in a new Guy Ritchie (aka Mr. Madonna) flick, which will also star Thandie Newton and Idris Alba. He'll play an American rapper.

Wow. The two of them are stretching themselves thin with these very ambitious, completely foreign roles.

As I informed you earlier, today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia, which officially legalized interracial unions. A group of overly sentimental people have dubbed this day Loving Day, during which we are all supposed to celebrate our legal right to love and marry whoever we want (as long as they're of the opposite sex). Here is a smattering of some famous interracial couples, starting with two of my favorites, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.

So what if you've never heard of British R&B singer Jamelia? Robert DeNiro has, and she made him lose his mind when they met recently.

She recalls, "I'd heard he's got a thing for black women, but I thought it was just a rumor. So I was amazed when he told organizers at this party that he wasn't leaving till he met me. At the end of the night we were finally introduced, but he was so full on, straight away - talking about how I was a delicious chocolate thing."

"Then he started to churn out more chat-up lines, like, 'Don't you want to be my leading lady?' and, 'Come on, I'm not taking no for an answer.' He was very persistent, but I had to put a stop to it. I was flattered but I told him in no uncertain terms that it was not going to happen. I said I had a boyfriend."

Bobby DeNiro has a notorious thing for, uh, "chocolate things" but I'm shocked that after a lifetime of hollering at black girls he doesn't have better game. Clearly, he was unable to make her an offer she couldn't refuse.
