According to Livesteez, Jay-Z and Beyonce are at the top of Forbe’s power couples list for earnings this year:

The music industry’s hottest couple, Bey and Jay raked in mega dough this past year, as if it wasn’t already expected, considering the multiple million-dollar business ventures they’re both linked to.

The royal pair topped Forbes’ richest celebrity couples list, collectively making a whopping $162 million in 2008, beating out other power couples who also make big bucks.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith took the No. 2 spot, with $85 million earned together, while David and Victoria Beckham rounded out the top three with annual earnings of $58 million, reports say.

“Naturally, powerful people tend to gravitate toward other powerful people,” clinical psychologist and celebrity researcher Jim Houran tells the magazine.

In related news, Mrs. Sasha Fierce appeared on BET’s 106 & Park Tuesday, promoting the release of her new album “I Am ….Sasha Fierce,” in which she performed the hit single, ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’. After the electric performance, Bey’ could be seen flashing her husband’s signature ‘Roc’ sign, preceded by a Heart, as she bashfully snickered at the camera.

WTF!!!! $162 million dollars in 2008 and the d@mn year isn’t even over yet. That makes Will and Jada’s $85 million look like lunch money. Congrats to both couples, though.

Bobby Brown expressed a legitimate concern while taping his new reality TV show called “Outsider’s Inn” in the sticks of Tennesse. While shooting a hunting scene, he explains:

“I just made sure I stayed in the back because, when you are going out in the woods with a bunch of rednecks, the dark one gets shot. I thought I probably looked like a bear to them, you know. I just let them do the hunting, but I had my gun ready just in case somebody made a mistake and pointed their rifle my way.”

Bobby Brown’s son has been running his yap in the “news” lately. Last week, he was talking about how he jumped-off Lindsay Lohan in a bathroom and now he has something to say about good ole Whitney:

Bobby Brown’s son Landon has revealed his former stepmother, Whitney Houston, treated him like an employee when he went to stay with the former couple. Landon Brown says Houston was a “nightmare” to grow up with, refusing to accept him as a member of her family. He tells the National Enquirer that his former stepmom insisted he slept in a guest house when he came to stay - and refused to let him spend time with her daughter - his half-sister - Bobbi Kristina.

He says, “Whitney and I never really got along. She didn’t necessarily hate me, but she wouldn’t really speak to me either. In Whitney’s eyes, I was the stepchild.” He adds, “She decided to turn me into one of her security personnel. I was a teenager but I was walking around dressed up in all black with a Security shirt and she’d have me work for her. I was just another one of her staff.”

SMH. We’re not saying that rocked-out Whitney is a saint or anything, but this little nicca is trying to get a little publicity by any means necessary. Poor thang.

Bobby Brown talks about Usher in his tell-all book that has been pushed back:

“I’ve always considered myself ‘The King of Stage.’ To this very day, I still don’t think anyone can get with me on the stage. I own the stage. I watched one of Usher’s shows and he basically did my whole show. It was as if it was me on stage. The thing about it is, I love seeing that. It’s a compliment to me as a performer. I think you take parts of whoever is the hottest act of that era and you incorporate that into your own style. It’s just like taking buttermilk, eggs and corn meal, you whip it up bake it and you have cornbread.”

First he says he’s the “King of R&B”, now he’s “The King of Stage.” Bobby be feelin himself way too much. He needs to leave that dope alone. Poor thang.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Bobbi Kristina tried to kill herself:

Whitney Houston’s 15 year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina tried to stab her mom during an argument - and then attempted to kill herself by slashing her wrists! The shocking suicide attempt landed Bobbi Kristina in a psychiatric ward in Atlanta, sources said. Ann Davis, a family member said that a few days before Bobbi’s 15th birthday party that Kristina “tried to stab Whitney” before turning the razor on herself. Davis confided that part of Kristina’s problem is that she doesn’t want to live with Whitney.”

Damn, hopefully this isn’t true. Poor thang.

Here are some pics of Bobbi Kristina and the King of R&B’s other daughter LaPrincia boozing it up and getting all kissy-faced with each other. This seems about ‘normal’ for the average 15 year-old girl, but with Bobbi Kris’ track record and set of parents we hope she is able to maintain all of her habits.

These babies look like they might need some intervention soon. Poor thangs.

Bobby laid it out in his new book. Now Ray-J responds to Bobby’s statements and how he was referred to as “little man”:

“’I think what Bobby’s saying in his book is just ridiculous. He should really go back in and pray and figure out what he should do on the positive tip. I don’t kiss and tell, I don’t exploit other people’s business and I don’t think it’s cool that Bobby’s doing that!’” Plus, Ray J says, “’We’re the same height, Bobby, come on!’”

SMH. Whitney used to be an World Class star. Now she’s a recovering addict who deals with mark-ass busters such as these. But it just goes to show that anything is possible. On that note, Ray-J is on some “pot calling the kettle” sh*t about kissing and telling.

Bobby accuses Whitney of impeding potential income:

BOBBY BROWN is fuming with his ex-wife WHITNEY HOUSTON because she won’t sign off on a DVD release of the fallen R&B star’s BEING BOBBY BROWN reality TV show.
Houston, who appeared heavily in the series, and wasn’t always portrayed in a good light, is refusing to give Brown the OK to cash in on DVD sales, and he insists that’s eating heavily into his potential income.
He tells In Touch magazine, ‘Whitney blames the show for ruining her career and she won’t sign off on the contract to release the DVD. There’s a lot of money to be made, but, because she won’t cooperate, we’ll never see it. I have a serious problem with that because it affects my income.’”

That’s right, you broke ass individual. Time to try a new approach. Perhaps Bobby should try, say, ahh, working for a change. We heard the Roger Rabbit is due for a comeback. And no one can work it out like B Brown. A word of advice: Get your “Every Little Step” on, or shut the f*ck up already.
