Beyoncé and Jay-Z named Hollywood’s top-earning twosome

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have just been named Hollywood’s top-earning twosome by the compulsive listmakers over at Forbes. The married moguls banked a combined $122 million between June 2008 and June 2009, $87 million coming from her album sales and touring.

Beyonce and Jay-Z leave a $500 tip after lunch

The couple splashed the cash as they enjoyed lunch at New York’s upmarket restaurant Nello’s, while sipping glasses of Dom Perignon.

And barely an eyebrow was raised when the bill arrived – for a whopping $1,200 – with the generous pair even opting to leave a further $500 tip.

The musical duo reportedly dined on white truffles and lobster salad, while ten bodyguards looked on, earlier this week.

The restaurant is not for the cash-strapped, with Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich reportedly spending $47,000 on a lunch there recently.

The Chelsea Football Club owner’s bill included an automatic gratuity of 20 per cent – $7,328 – but he is believed to have chipped in with an extra $5,000, bringing the tip to 26 per cent.

Beyoncé: NOT-SO-SINGLE LADY

Kicking off the U.S. leg of her “I AM …” world tour with style, Beyoncé sparkles on the stage during the first of two N.Y.C. shows, performing her hit song, “Crazy in Love” alongside hubby Jay-Z at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Jay-Z and Beyonce Are Doing Well?

Jay and Beyonce were seated front row during the Knicks Cavaliers game last night as Lebron came to the Garden. Even though the Garden has the highest ticket prices in the league, when you earn what these two powerhouses brought in last year, front row seats are nothing. Infact with their combined earnings they could probably look into purchasing their own sports franchise.

Jay-Z has responded to his former Roc princess Teairra Mari about her statement that he was wrong for not firing her personally. Apparently she had to find out through other folks she was dropped from Def Jam, and she wanted hear that from Jay’s mouth as she saw him like a father figure. He has also responded to Foxy’s claims that he was wrong for not calling/visiting her while she was in lock up since…in her head…they had a special bond. He told Allhiphop.com:

Jay-Z and Beyonce Out on the Town

Jay-Z was looking rather distant from Beyonce (and her stained up pants) as they left the Spotted Pig in NYC last night. Well, they’re hangin’ in there regardless – for the time being.

What is the “it” or hot car for celebrities to have right now? Is it still cool to have the foreign sports cars, or are celebs going green and hybrid?
—T.M.

Hybrid? Sure, if you’re talking about a hybrid that breeds expensive with super obnoxious.

Let’s put it this way: When Beyoncé sang about another woman “in the ‘Bach or the Rolls” for her single “Ring the Alarm,” she happened to be talking about two cars owned by her then-boyfriend, Jay-Z. The rapper, now Beyoncé’s lawfully wedded mogul, owns a Maybach and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. And both are the cars to have, dealers to the stars tell me. That is, if you’re the type of star that can use “dukey rope” in a sentence.

Who else has managed to snag these $450,000 prestigemobiles? And what is inside those things, anyway? Find out—from Fiddy’s car dealer, no less—after the jump.

According to Macky Dancy, who runs the Dancy-Power Automotive Group with two partners on Long Island, “Diddy, Nas, Busta—everyone I just named has a Maybach or Phantom or both.”

Why those cars?

“They’re like planes on wheels,” says Dancy, who also counts Alicia Keys, Christie Brinkley and Bill Murray as clients.

“They only seat two people in the back, so it’s not like you’re getting a tour bus for that money.” But, he adds, you do get all the rest, like TVs, refrigerators and tables.

Fiddy, in fact, has the über-hot Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead. There are only about 100 of them floating about the world. (By the way, it’s a white convertible coupe with white leather interior and a base price of more than $400,000. Just in case you’re making up your Christmas list early. And your first name is Kanye.)

For the record, we’re talking rappers and musicians here, obviously. Movie and sports stars are still leaning more toward sporty models, like Porsche. Anna Kournikova recently got herself one of those via Dancy-Power.

Looks like it’s time to clock out. If you see me on the street, try not to stare. I’m the one rollin’ ‘n’ flossin’ in the Toyota.
