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.

See the Top Earning Black Stars and find out where Jay-Z and Beyonce rank.

Newlyweds Jay-Z and Beyonce shelled out $70,000 for a new table to furnish their apartment, which is located in Manhattan in the Tribeca neighborhood. The table is 9-feet long, 800 pound bronze and wood, and they got it from the Hudson Furniture boutique.

Can we get a dinner invite?

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.

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!

Five months in and Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are still going strong as husband and wife.

The couple are in Las Vegas this week while Carey shoots her new music video, but they still found time to celebrate Nick’s birthday.

Cannon, who turns 28 today, had a birthday bash at Pure Nightclub where he was on the ones and twos all night.

Later in the evening, Mariah came out to present him with a birthday cake and Cannon responded by hoping on the mic and informing the crowed that “We about to take this to the next level!”

What next level, Nick?

You, my friend, have peaked.

It’s all downhill for you from here on out.

Beyonce is finally ready to come clean about her marriage to rapper Jay-Z in the latest issue of Essence magazine.

In an intimate interview with ESSENCE, megastar Beyoncé dishes on her new album, Jay-Z, and life in the spotlight. Costarring in two upcoming films, the psychological thriller “Obsessed” and “Cadillac Records,” where she’ll star as Etta James, the Queen B is preparing to dominate the box office and the music charts. The singer says her new album, coming in November, is her most personal to date. For the first time ever, she opens up to ESSENCE about paparazzi, the wedding, the rumored engagement ring, and what we all missed!

About time one of them came forward and discussed the marriage.

You can expect a lot of Beyonce in the news between now and the rest of the year.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Wedding bells were in the air for former “American Idol” contestant LaKisha Jones on Sunday.

Jones tied the knot with financial adviser Larry Davis at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Financial adviser, eh?

I don’t know if that’s a plus or a minus in today’s economy, but more power to you, LaKisha.

Former “AI” contestants Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato and Melinda Doolittle were in attendance.

By far, one of the more talented singers of Season 6, Jones has a new album due out in Feb. 2009.

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.

“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.
