Beyonce And Jay-Z Named Hollywood’s Richest Couple

Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles have topped a new Forbes magazine poll and are named as Hollywood’s richest couple.

The Crazy In Love stars, who quietly wed in April, have taken over in the fortune dept. in the year from June 1st 2007 to 2008. Jay-Z alone earned $82 million from his recent $150 million 10-year deal with concert promoter Live Nation, while wife Beyonce is real close behind bringing in $80 million from her various ventures in fashion, film and music.

Their 2008 fortune sets them far apart from Hollywood’s other power couples - Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are in second place in the poll with $85 million, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could only manage fifth place with $34 million.

Here’s the list of the top 10 of Hollywood’s Top Earning Couples:

1. Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles - $162 million
2. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith - $85 million
3. David Beckham and Victoria Beckham - $58 million
4. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill - $35 million
5. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - $34 million
6. Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann - $30 million
7. Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani - $28 million
8. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman - $25 million
9. Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker - $22.5 million
10. Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart - $22 million

Claws out in battle for No1

THE mother of all chart battles kicks off a week today.
Pop divas BRITNEY SPEARS, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, LEONA LEWIS and BEYONCE are releasing singles on the same day.

I’m dubbing November 3 D-Day in honour of the four babes as they go head to head.

Her new offering, Womanizer, is another precision-tooled pop rocket. The video has her writhing naked in a sauna and, surprise surprise, is getting loads of airplay.

I can also exclusively reveal her eagerly awaited X Factor slot will be on November 29. Britney’s one time arch-rival Christina is issuing the title track from Keeps Gettin’ Better, her Greatest Hits collection, and it’s a stomping glam-pop banger.


Forgive Me sees Leona ditching gut-busting ballads for an up-tempo R&B number.

Finally, Beyonce’s track If I Were A Boy, which is released digitally, is probably the most surprising of the lot.

She’s already ahead on points thanks to the stunning promo shot shown above, and has produced a belting but serious ballad about the (alleged) faults of the male species.

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “We haven’t had a heavyweight chart battle like this for a while. It’s wide open but you have to fancy Britney, perhaps just ahead of Leona.”

In terms of album sales Britney is way ahead of the pack with an extraordinary 76million under her belt.

Beyonce has sold 63million, though half were with former group DESTINY’S CHILD.

Christina is next with 42million while Leona has notched up three million sales, for her debut Spirit — but she is the biggest-selling artist of the year so far Stateside.

Rest assured, I’ll bring you the latest from the epic battle as it happens.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for the home-grown talent though.

I’d love to see Leona trounce her US rivals..

Rihanna kicks off New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week kicked off in an explosion of style and sounds on Friday as a host of some of the trendiest stars around flocked to Radio City Music Hall for the fifth Fashion Rocks event.

Making her mark was stylish Barbadian Rihanna. The beautiful Umbrella singer looked gorgeous in a black ruffled Monique Lhuiller frock at her arrival. She later donned a glitzy leotard to wow the audience with a showgirl performance. Black-Eyed Peas singer Fergie, meanwhile, went for boho chic with a Gucci outfit featuring an ethnic-inspired blouse.

Fellow songstress Beyonce donned several glamorous looks for her time in the spotlight. Performing with SexyBack star Justin Timberlake, the former Destiny's Child singer sparkled in a Jean-Paul Gaultier catsuit with plunging neckline. Then it was a change of look – with short blonde wig – with a classy Zuhair Murad cocktail dress, in this season's key mustard colour.

Not to be outdone, the stars of the silver screen were also showing their style credentials. Fresh from watching the catwalks was Charlize Theron, casually chic in tight fitting trousers matched with a silver blazer she had earlier seen on the Rag And Bone runway that day.

And Hilary Swank was lovely in lilac in a one-shouldered couture dress from Givenchy.

Beyonce October 2008 Marie Claire

Beyonce is making her solo comeback and taking over Marie Claire’s October issue. She talks about all sorts of things in the interview from her alter ego, to being a role model to her political views. Here are some quotes:

On why she uses her alter ego ‘Sasha’:

“Things I do when I am performing I would never do normally”

“I always wish I could feel the way I do on stage when I’m doing a movie because I have out of body experiences…I’m so fearless”

On who her song ‘Irresistible’ is about:

“The obvious person is not the person at all”

On being a pop star:

“There is a time limit on being a pop star yes, being a legend, an icon, absolutely not”

“I’m over being a popstar, I don’t wana be a hot girl I wana be iconic”

“There are responsibilities that come along with this life…trying to have a romantic meal without someone sneaking in to film the whole thing. I have to work really hard and it’s fine because I like it, I love it, but it’s a lot of sacrifice”

On being a role model:

” I think I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me”

On Barack Obama:

“I’m really proud, I think we’re making a bit of progress, it’s an exciting time. We all feel part of our country now”

I’m liking the darker hair. Not sure if it’s because it looks good with her outfit or what, but she looks cute!
