Jay Z and Beyonce had a dinner date with Tina Knowles and her new husband, Richard Lawson, who has links to Scientology. Could they become the religion's next A-list adherents?


Beyonce gave a half smile to her new stepfather. The "Ring Off" singer has been very supportive of her mother finding happiness after her painful divorce from Mathew Knowles.

Jay Z and Bey looked to each other for support during dinner with the newlyweds.

Mama Tina may now be Grand Mama Tina, but she still knows how to work a high heel and a pair of tight pants. Like mother, like daughter!

The double daters stepped outside of Bar Pitti, which proudly displayed its 'A' rating from the New York Health Department.

Beyonce flashed a foxy smile for the cameras.

Tina looked every bit the blushing recent bride.

Bey wore a tank top emblazoned with a message about thankfulness. Jay wore a t-shirt with a message about peace, and Lawson, one about love. Mama Tina wore a see-through blouse.

Mother and daughter looked cool as can be with matching highlights.


The famous dinner guests were clearly a distraction to other patrons, who turned away from their meals to watch the spectacle.

Grinning Jay and Bey looked like newlyweds too but they've been married since 2008.
