Anja and the stars

It seems like Coldplay want to do as much as possible before they split in about two years. So they asked Jay-Z to come with on tour next year. And because Jay-Z is a friend of the band he said immediately “yes”. Unfortunately, he only has time for three UK stadium shows. These shows will probably take place in Sepetmber 2009 and the ticket prices start at £40.

Beyoncé Knowles and hubby Jay-Z have been selected to be Hollywood’s best earning couple. Forbes once again put together a list and put them on top of it. Apparently, they made about $ 262 mio. between June 2007 and June 2008. Jay-Z contributed about $ 82 mio. from his latest deal with “Live Nation” while Beyoncé earned about $ 80 mio. from film, fashion and advertising contracts.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith made about $ 85 mio. in the same period of time and hence are number 2 on the list. Here, Will is main earner with $ 80 mio. David and Victoria Beckham are with an income of $ 58 mio. the third richest couple. David has earned more than $ 50 mio. since he moved to Los Angeles and that despite his “meagre” wage of $ 5,5 mio with LA Galaxy. He makes all the money with ticket sales, merchandising and sponsoring. Addiotionally, he earned about $ 35 mio. from advertising contracts. Victoria made about $ 8 mio. from being on tour with the Spice Girls and her fashion line.
And here’s the full list:

1. Jay-Z und Beyoncè - 129 Millionen Euro
2. Will Smith und Jada Pinkett-Smith - 68 Millionen Euro
3. David Beckham und Victoria Beckham - 46 Millionen Euro
4. Tim McGraw und Faith Hill - 28 Millionen Euro
5. Brad Pitt und Angelina Jolie - 27 Millionen Euro
6. Judd Apatow und Leslie Mann - 24 Millionen Euro
7. Gavin Rossdale und Gwen Stefani - 22 Millionen Euro
8. Keith Urban und Nicole Kidman - 20 Millionen Euro
9. Tony Parker und Eva Longoria - 18 Millionen Euro
