These ladies know how to celebrate! Beyonce Knowlesthrew a Dance party for Solange's 22nd birthday Monday night that brought out pals Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Mario and Destiny Child's Michelle Williams.
Guests danced to tracks like Prince's "Kiss" and Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved" spun by Lindsay Lohan pal DJ Samantha Ronson, as the birthday girl grabbed a microphone and called people to the floor. Lohan sat close to the deejay booth early on, but left before most guests arrived at the Hollywood Hills mansion at 11 p.m.
On Solange's request, Ronson kept the tunes in the family, playing nearly every hit in Beyonc and husband Jay-Z's catalogs including "Big Pimpin'" (as Solange played a tambourine and Beyonc showed off her best moves) and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder." When Beyonc 's "Get Me Bodied" played, revelers circled around the Knowles sisters as they danced to tracks from the song's video.
Champagne flowed as guests noshed on barbecue chicken, cornbread, greens and mac and cheese (served buffet-style). Rock band Chester French took the stage playing an instrumental version of "What About Dre," and finished their set with a rocked out version of "Happy Birthday." Cupcakes with large white candles were passed through the crowd as everyone sang to Solange, who blew out the candles and banged on her tambourine
There was not a welly in sight as pop diva Beyonce Knowles arrived at Glastonbury to watch husband Jay-Z performed last night.
The ever-glamorous star looked stunning as always in jeans, heels and a green rain mac...just in case.
But just hours before he performed hip-hop star Jay-Z upset Glastonbury organisers after constantly changing his travel plans ahead of his headline performance.

A plan to fly Jay-Z to the festival by helicopter was finalised just hours before his 10.45pm performance.
The booking of one of hip-hop’s biggest stars has caused anger among some fans, who claim Glastonbury is betraying its roots as a rock-music festival.
