Power Couple: Jay-Z Covers Time’s 100 Most Influential People; Beyonce Named ‘Icon’

 jayztime

Beyonce & Jay-Z made impressive headlines earlier this week when they were named pop’s first billion dollar couple and right on the heels of that, they’ve both been recognized by Time Magazine.

Bey has been named an icon in the magazine’s ’2013 Time 100 List.’ With hit songs such as “Crazy In Love,” “Listen” and “Single Ladies,” she’s left a lasting impact in the world of music. Not to be upstaged by his wife, Jay-Z has been named one of Time’s ‘Most Influential People In The World’ and landed one of the seven covers. The Brooklyn-born rapper has come up from a life on the streets to a successful career. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke of him in the feature:

 Jay Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition. When no one would sign him to a record contract, he created his own label and built a music empire — before going on to design clothing lines, open sports bars and, most recently, represent professional athletes. He’s an artist-entrepreneur who stands at the center of culture and commerce in 21st century America, and his influence stretches across races, religions and regions. He’s never forgotten his roots — “Empire State of Mind” was a love song to our city — and as a co-owner of the NBA Nets, he helped bring a major league sports team back to Brooklyn, not far from his old neighborhood. In nearly everything he’s tried, he’s found success. (He even put a ring on Beyoncé.) And in doing so, he’s proved that the American Dream is alive and well.”

W0w. Powerful words.

Congrats to them both!!!!

We always knew that Beyonce and Jay-Z were rich, but apparently they’re even richer than we thought!!!

The superstar couple has been named pop’s first billion dollar couple. Beyonce’s H&M summer bikini collection and her “Mrs. Carter Show” world tour has pushed them past the mark. It appears that she makes more than her hubby right now.

Like Bey said… who run the world, GIRLS!

Together, they are worth $650 million pounds which is equivalent to $1 billion dollars.

Americans On High Alert

Last night President Obama announced that the leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden was killed. News outlets from around the world tuned in for Obama’s special announcement. Check it out….

Yes you heard that correctly:

At my direction, the US launched a targeted operation…No Americans were harmed…After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden”

Due to the President’s announcement, U. S. diplomatic facilities were placed on high alert. In fact the U.S. State Department also planned to send out “worldwide caution” for Americans, fearing that Al Qaeda supporters may launch a retaliatory attack against U.S. institutions or Americans.

Although no legitimate threats of terrorism have been reported, police in major cities including New York and Los Angeles have been advised to step up patrols.

What are your thoughts? Should Americans be concerned?

Serena and Friends Do Dinner at STK‏

After a serious health scare only a few weeks ago, Serena Williams seems to be on the mend. The tennis star was spotted out last night in L.A. looking sexy and fierce with her celebrity BFFs Ciara, Kim Kardasdian, Kelly Rowland, Lala Vazquez and Brittney Gastineau.

The ladies wined, dined and had girl talk at STK. Serena opened up to USA Today and shared how depressed she had become due to her recent health challenges,

“I definitely have not been happy, especially when I had that second surgery (on my foot), I was definitely depressed. I cried all the time. I was miserable to be around.”

When asked on when she will return to tennis she says,

“I don’t know what’s realistic. I really don’t know. I haven’t put a date on it yet. I know how to play tennis. I’ve been doing it for a long time–longer than I can say. So I figure that will work out.”

Well it is good to see her out and about with her girlfriends. If anything can cheer you up and get your mind off of things, a girls night out can! But don’t push it too hard Serena, we definitely don’t want you to relapse. Take care of yourself! And either these ladies have been friends for too long, or there was a dress code for last night’s dinner… But they all looked great!

Mariah Carey Takes Her Dogs To See A Shrink

Grammy award winning singer and mommy-to-be, Mariah Carey reportedly took her dogs to see a pet psychologist to prepare for the birth of her twins.

Apparently Mimi wants her four Jack Russells terriers, JJ, Cha-Cha, Solomite and Jackie Lambchops to be mentally and emotionally prepared for her double bundle. According to an expert on Jack Russels, they “can be jealous and possessive about their owners.” *raised brows.

You know I’ve actually heard about such a thing happening with owners and their furry friends. Can you relate?
