That was one knockout of a party.

In celebration of his 40th birthday, world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather threw himself a bash as big as his career Saturdaynight in Los Angeles.

Located in a ballroom downtown, the athlete welcomed celebrity guests like Bobby Brown, Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey into a star-studded room decorated with disco balls and crystal chandeliers. Dressed to impress, Mayweather donned a black sequin blazer with black pants, a black shirt and dark aviators.

"He was smiling and enjoying all the attention," a source told E! News.

There was no denying who the party was for as Mayweather's face was everywhere. At the entrance to the party, guests were greeted by a money tree covered with hanging fake $100 bills with his face on them while larger portraits of the birthday boy hung on the walls.

The larger-than-life boxer had an equally packed guest list. While the room was meant to only accommodate 300 people, upwards of 1,300 attendees crowded into the ballroom. In addition to an open bar, guests enjoyed hamburger sliders and mini BBQ chicken sandwiches.


As for decor, the boxer had cages with white Bengal tigers inside the room. The guest of honor had his own staged area in the middle of the space complete with a golden throne and surrounded by security guards, though he was rarely seated.

Instead, the 40-year-old enjoyed performances from his famous friends, including the former New Edition singer, K-Ci and JoJo, Tyrese and Doug E. Fresh. Fresh performed a medley of hits he called "the soundtrack to Floyd's life," including "December" by Earth, Wind and Fire and "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie.

Bieber also took the stage to entertain the crowd with his top songs, "Where Are Ü Now" and "What Do You Mean?"

"I love this guy...I look up to him," he said in front of the audience. "Give it up for Floyd Mayweather, the champ."


Soon, it was time to cut the cake. Mariah Carey flew in from Dubai to attend the party and serenade the athlete with "Happy Birthday." The Grammy winner arrived with beau Bryan Tanaka and sported a crystal-embellished silver gown with a plunging neckline. "She looked great and seemed very relaxed," the source added.

"Would only fly 18 hours for your #birthday," Carey wrote on Instagram.

Mayweather marked the occasion with a six layer cake covered with pictures of him throughout his life. The creation was from Bree's Cakes, a favorite of stars like Chrissy Teigen and Khloe Kardashian.

"The cake took about 72 hours to make. It had to be transported in two pieces because it was too tall to fit in my SUV," Bree Miller of Bree's Cakes told E! News. "It had over 12 feet of swarovski crystals on it... and it was loaded with over a hundred personal photos ranging from childhood to now showcasing the 40 years of Floyd."

Cheers to 40 more—and then some!

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: How Emma Stone Celebrated Her 2017 SAG Awards Win

Emma Stone hit another high note at the 2017 SAG Awards.

The La La Land star's winning streak continued Sunday night when she won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, beating Arrival's Amy Adams, The Girl on the Train's Emily Blunt, Jackie's Natalie Portman and Florence Foster Jenkins' Meryl Streep. As the 28-year-old actress confessed to E! News' Zuri Hall backstage, "It's pretty crazy!"

During her acceptance speech, the adorably flustered winner told the audience, "Wow. To be an actor, playing an actor, and receiving an actor by a guild of actors—it's pretty exceptional."

"Oh, they're counting me down," she said. "I have forgotten everything I have ever thought in my life." After thanking co-star Ryan Gosling and director Damien Chazelle, Emma said, "I just wanted to say: I feel insecure a lot of the time. And feeling I deserve anything like this requires a bit of mental gymnastics. Getting to be a part—even a tiny, tiny part—of a group of people that cares about reflecting society and bringing people joy and making them laugh and giving people hope, or—God, I know I have to wrap up. I feel like I'm going to faint. We're in a tricky time in the world and our country. Things are inexcusable and scary and need action. I'm so grateful to be part of a group of people that cares and wants to reflect things back to society."

Speaking to reporters backstage, Emma elaborated on her speech. "We have to speak up against injustice, and we have to kick some ass. We have to speak up," she said. "Staying silent only helps the oppressor, not the victim. Right now I hope that people seeing things that are being done that are unconstitutional and inhumane would say something. I would hope that people would fight for what's right, and what's just f--king human. What's f--king human."

Emma opted to skip the star-studded after-parties to spend time with her brother, SpencerStone, and friends who were staying in her hotel room. "We've got a big group of people," she told E! News. "And I'm just gonna go back and be with them, because they're just the greatest."

The 2017 Oscars are weeks away, and Portman, Stone and Streep will once again compete in the Best Actress category—this time alongside Elle's Isabelle Huppert and Loving's Ruth Negga.

Award season has taken its toll on Emma, who's excited to get back in front of the camera when it's all over. "I'm going to work on a movie really soon, so I'm very excited for that," she told E! News. "It's called The Favorite. It's by Yorgos Lanthimos—written and directed by him."

"I'm really looking forward to it," Emma added. "It'll be in fun. I'm going to be in in London!"

E! NEWS

 http://www.eonline.com/news/814897/mila-kunis-steps-out-for-first-time-with-ashton-kutcher-since-giving-birth-to-baby-dimitri Out and about and all smiles! Mila Kunis was spotted out for the first time since giving birth to her second child, a baby boy named Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, on Nov. 30. E! News exclusively revealed that the former That ‘70s Show actress welcomed the little one last week and the proud mama appeared to be happier than ever during a stroll with husband E onlineAshton Kutcher. The two held hands as they walked down a residential street near Los Angeles with neither their newborn son nor their daughter Wyatt in tow. Shortly after the birth of their baby boy, the married couple and former co-stars released the following statement on Kutcher's website: "We'd like to allow our kids to make their own choices on whether to have a life in the public eye or not. We don't want to make the choice for them." The site also revealed that baby Dimitri arrived at 1:21 a.m. and weighed in at 8 pounds and 15 ounces. And now with their new family of four, it seems like the Kutchers have an extra special reason to be smiling (and to be celebrating the upcoming holiday season!). Kutcher and Kunis became engaged back in February 2014 and then married in July of the following year in front of friends and family at a picturesque ranch just outside of Los Angeles. The two welcomed their first child in October 2014. Congratulations once again to the Kutcher family on their latest arrival!
