N*E*R*D and Diddy Party With Oprah!

This week was fashion's biggest event of the year called the Met Gala where every celebrity you can think off spends money on jewelry and dresses that could bail Haiti out of starvation to upstage each other on the red carpet. It was quite a scene! Scroll down below for some flicks of Mary J. Blige, Joy Bryant, Jennifer Lopez (she had to be the best dressed there), Janet Jackson, and more.Well, after the show is the after party. Celebrities got down partying in their extravagant attire with Oprah at Anna Wintour's after party. There's a saying that's been floating around these days: "Pics or it didn't happen." Well we have proof that Oprah was standing on couches while grooving to N*E*R*D's new single "Hot N' Fun" while Diddy got busy as an honorary N*E*R*D member. Scroll down below for the flicksSpeaking of N*E*R*D, they sat down with MTV News to talk about their upcoming album Nothing that's hitting stores June 15. The group has been on tour since their last release Seeing Sounds in 2008 from colleges to opening for Kanye West & Jay-Z. Touring gave them the spices they needed to create their flavorful album Nothing. It wasn't an easy process. They recorded an entire album twice and scratched the projects until they came up with Nothing."It's funny — I think we were blessed in that sense," Pharrell explained. "The music is very psychedelic for the most part — 80 percent of it is definitely flower-power, counterculture, release and let yourself be free and have a great time!"

Pharrell also said they wanted to tap into a new understanding of the opposite sex and cater the album more toward women. The first single is "Hot N' Fun" and features Nelly Furtado, who the gang recruited for her distinctive tone.

"We think that the new definition of sexuality is the appreciation of life and the moment, and that's why people should have sex. For the most part, when you and her are there and you're having a special moment, it's like, 'Aww, man, I could have been anywhere in the world, but I'm here with you! This is amazing to me! This is so cool — let's do it,' " Pharrell laughed. "I'm so kidding, by the way."

"It's the ultimate spring, summertime record. It's the festival record, it's a fun record and it's geared towards the women," Shay offered. "What woman doesn't want to put on their sundress and stroll through SoHo and have that as their theme music?"
