Jay-Z and Beyonce have just topped a list of Hollywood's richest couples.  Obviously they're so high ranking because both of these two business savvy.  From 2007-2008 Jay-Z brought in $82 million from his deal with Live Nation, while Beyonce has raked in $80 million through everything she does in fashion, music, etc.  The rest of the richest couples are:

• 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

Personally I'm surprised not to see Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on there.  He always earns an insane amount for his movies and she's got to be getting paid big bucks for all the campaigns she's in!  And who would have guessed that Harrison and Calista are still racking it in!  Are you surprised to see any of these names on the list?  And who did you think was really rich that didn't actually make the top ten?

Beyonce hosted the Gotham Magazine Party last night in New York wearing a long sleeved, long black gown and black Chanel earrings. Beyonce has a great figure and can pull off just about anything, but what about this look? Maybe it's not Beyonce wearing it, but Sasha Fierce... :)

In other news, the singer recently commented on Justin Timberlake's performance on SNL.

I still can’t believe he did that. He was incredible. We rehearsed it two times. He picked up the choreography. He has this photographic memory. He could probably kill it if he wanted to."

I am dying to see the full body shot of the outfit Hilary Duff's wore to TRL's Total Finale Live.  She truly looks amazing.  And wow, she is getting really buff these days.  Her arm is almost Madonna-esque in this photo! :)  Beyonce was another celeb that came out for the big MTV event.  Her hair and makeup are gorgeous. She's been rocking a much more toned down style lately and I really like it, what about you?

The full list of musicians that were in Times Square yesterday is below.

• Kid Rock
• Justin Timberlake
• Joel Madden
• Taylor Swift
• Teyana Taylor
• 50 Cent

People forget that celebrities are human. The mean things that are said about them hurt just as they would to any other person in the world. Luckily for Beyonce, she found the right guy who could get her through those tough times.  And she wasn't afraid to take her time in getting to know him.

"I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating. There was no rush. I really don't believe that you will love the same thing when you're 20 as you do at 30."

"Before the age of 25, I would never get married. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."

So, what's the one thing that Jay Z has really made Beyonce understand?

"I guess probably that we're all human. I don't care if you're picture-perfect on every magazine cover, and you're the most handsome, successful, coolest guy.

You still get sad, and you still get your feelings hurt, and you still get confused and vulnerable and nervous and scared. You have to find a person you can make it through the tough times with."

I love that Beyonce is opening up more about her relationship these days. Lucky for us she has a lot of promoting to do for her upcoming album, I am... Sasha Fierce. 

No big surprises here.  We all know that Beyonce and Jay-Z's relationship is one of the most private out there. Talking about the rags paying out big bucks for celeb wedding photos Beyonce said,

"Now, they offer crazy money that's just ridiculous.  But in the end, absolutely not. It's so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money)."

She added,

"We worked really hard at keeping it private.  I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."

If you were famous what would you do: Sell the wedding/baby pictures and keep the money for yourself, sell and donate the money to charity or keep everything private like Beyonce?

Britney Spears and Beyonce both have new albums to promote. But the singers are taking very different style approaches in doing so. Beyonce IS Sasha Fierce while Britney went for a softer, 20s period look to help push along Circus. And WOWOWOWOWO photoshop! I can't even recognize her. I mean, IS that Britney Spears?

Either way, which look do you prefer? If any at all. There is always choice C you know.

"I’m not in a rush to have children. Because I work so much, I’m just not ready yet. I have a nephew… I was there in the delivery room when he was born.

"I had begged my sister, please don’t make me, ‘cos its going to traumatize me. But she talked me into it - and I was right! I’m scared of that!

"I mean it was amazing and I cried when he was born. And I can’t believe that we as human beings have the power to create another human being. But it’s hard. It’s a lot of work and you have to be ready to be responsible for another human being."

-- Beyonce on motherhood

And just because we are on Beyonce - I found this great quote about her mother putting the singer in her place as a teen.

"There have been times where my mom has literally smacked me in my face. When I was 19 - when I was confused and wondering what am I doing, who am I? - we were in the record store, my mom and dad were both there, and my song was playing, and I was feeling like hot stuff.

"She was asking me something and I started singing while she was talking to me. And there were some really cute guys in the store who were noticing me, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah! I’m hot!’ And my mom said, ‘I’m talking to you’. And I kept singing. And so she smacked me - slapped me in my face, so hard.

"And my dad said, ‘What are you doing?’ Because I didn’t get spankings growing up. They didn’t believe in that. My mom says, ‘She thinks she’s hot stuff ‘cos her single is out. Nobody cares about that! You are still my child. I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it! Now go sit in the car’.

But it was the best thing she could have ever done to me because for the first time I realized I was losing sight of what was important."

Holy Smokes!

Beyonce and Jay Z had a $70,000 walnut top table with bronze legs and feet delivered to their NYC apartment earlier this month. The Knight Base Table, designed by Barlas Baylar is HUUGGGEE which has a few people wondering if Beyonce is planning on hosting Thanksgiving this year.

Anyone else hosting this year? I am sure you are going crazy at this point if so. There is so much planning that needs to happen to have THAT many people in your house.  My family runs about 40 deep each year and the more we all have children, the tighter the space becomes!

Here is Beyonce's new bonus single, Halo. What do you think about the sound? I like it SO MUCH MORE than, "If I were a Boy". I just can't get behind that one truth be told.

She really does have a beautiful voice. You can feel it when she sings.
