Money Is A Thang …

Jay-Z and Beyonce

The couple that earns together, stays together.

Apparently.

Mr and Mrs. Jigga (Jay-Z and Beyoncé) collectively made $162 million in the past year, topping all the other celeb couples who also make big bucks, according to Forbes. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith took the No. 2 slot, with $85 million earned together, while David and Victoria Beckham rounded out the top three with annual earnings of $58 million. “Naturally, powerful people tend to gravitate toward other powerful people,” clinical psychologist and celebrity researcher Jim Houran tells the magazine.

I heard that.

Can we get a dinner invite?

If You Like Then You Need To Order Take Out …

Beyonce

There’s at least one thing that R&B singer and actress Beyonce can’t do … cook.

She’s a tad concerned that her first Thanksgiving with hubby Jay-Z will be one that doesn’t come with a homemade spread. If mama’s over the phone kitchen help doesn’t work, she may have to order take out for the meal. Oh well. Guess Jay still loves her, flaws and all.

Laila Ali And The Future Champ

Laila Ali

Aww.

Cute picture of Laila Ali and the future champ in training, Curtis Conway, Jr.

The daughter of Muhammad Ali recently had her first child with former NFL player Curtis Conway in August.

Between the Ali legacy and Conway’s football skills, I can only imagine the skills Curtis Jr. will have when he gets older.

Best of luck to Laila and Curtis!

Janet Jackson Released From Hospital

Published by Carrie Blackshaw on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 1:59 pm.

Janet Jackson has been released from the Royal Victoria
Hospital in Montreal but postponed her two upcoming shows on her “Rock Witchu”
tour. Her brief
hospitalization
wasn’t serious enough to stop boyfriend Jermaine Dupri
from partying with T.I. in New York City, according to a report.

People reports:

“Yesterday evening she was checked into the Royal Victoria Hospital and left
a couple of hours later,” Rebecca Burns, the spokeswoman for the McGill University
Health Centre, which operates the hospital, told PEOPLE.

Jackson, 42, cancelled her show in Montreal on Monday and was taken to the hospital
after she “got suddenly ill” during her sound check, according to a
statement from W&W Public Relations.

Further details of the singer’s condition were not immediately available,
and reps for Jackson did not return requests for additional comment.

Jackson kicked off her Rock Witchu tour promoting her latest album, Discipline,
in Vancouver on Sept. 10.

Jackson has complained of exhaustion, a source close to boyfriend Jermaine Dupri
tells PEOPLE. “A 42-year-old body can’t handle what a 22-year-old body
can,” says the source. “I can tell you that she’s definitely tired.
It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her
body isn’t the same as it used to be.”

The same night that Jackson was rushed to the hospital, Dupri was spotted in New
York City partying at Patron’s Music in Motion Tour featuring TI at Marquee.
“If [Janet’s condition] was more serious he would’ve rushed to
her side,” added the source.

Janet is now “recuperating,” according to a release issued by her publicist.
No information about what Janet is recuperating from is offered though. However,
the singer’s tour stops in Boston (Oct. 1) and Philadelphia (Oct. 2) will
be rescheduled. The tour resumes in Greensboro, N.C on Saturday.

The theme for T.I.’s 28th birthday party on Saturday at the Biltmore in Atlanta
was “suited and booted” and neither T.I. nor his girl Tiny disappointed.
The rapper is scheduled to take the stage tonight at Marquee in New York City to
perform at a benefit event for the Patrón Music In Motion Tour, which raises funds
to help rebuild New Orleans.

J-Hud Reveals How Punk Proposed

Published by Carrie Blackshaw on Monday, September 29, 2008 at 2:07 pm.

Jennifer Hudson wasn’t expecting a wedding proposal from her boyfriend David “Punk” Otunga when he told her to dig in the sand while at the beach on her 27th birthday on Sept. 12.

“I had no clue at all… We went to the beach during the day and he blindfolded me… and he gave me a purple shovel, because purple’s my favourite colour… and I had to dig.

“I ended up digging through all this sand. When I found it, it was like a bunch of beautiful cards… one related to the other, and the last one said, ‘Look around, take the moment in, turn around and I have a gift for you.’”

Hudson showed off her Neil Lane sparkler on ”The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on Friday. She told Jay that her future husband is “a beautiful guy” and that ”He’s an attorney; he went to Harvard Law School.”

That law degree from Harvard is nice, girlfriend, but there are plenty of people worried that you may be following in the same footsteps as Star Jones with Al Reynolds and Terry McMillan with Jonathan Plummer. Make sure that blindfold isn’t still on.
