Here's a picture you didn't expect to see this weekend: Kanye West cheesing while sitting next to Oprah, Diddy, and Kim Kardashian. Everyone seems to be having a good time, but why were they all together?

Apparently, the answer lies with the man standing next to Diddy: Jimmy Iovine. The founder and CEO of Interscope Records was hosting a birthday party for his girlfriend, which also doubled as a Emmy pre-party. Other guests included Mick Jagger (whom Oprah apparently met for the first time) and Dr. Dre. Reports indicate that R. Kelly was a surprise guest performer.

Oprah seemed thrilled to be hanging out with two of hip-hop's biggest stars in Diddy and Kanye, and the feeling certainly feels mutual from these pictures.
