Guests head to the ultimate Garden Party last night at MoMa. This year, trustees Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, Mimi Haas, Jill Kraus, and Sharon Percy Rockefeller were honored for their philanthropic endeavors with fanfare, cocktails, and a dinner which raised $4 million. The biggest part of the evening was the after-party, where Kanye West and Jay-Z took the stage to perform in front of an ecstatic crowd of 1500 which included Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Marina Abramovic, Leelee Sobieski and more!

Jay-Z and Beyonce Perfrom at Coechella
"Jay-Z blew us away last night at Coachella. The first hip hop artist to headline Coachella, he brought out mixes of everything from Oasis to Aerosmith to U2 for his overwhelmingly white and stoned audience."

CERTAIN PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO CALL OTHER PEOPLES NAMES!!
Now, if you know me even a little bit, you know i love to play devil's advocate and I hate front running for the most part, unless I myself am the front runner, then hop on the bandwagon, lol.
I also am not a big fan of Hip Hop or Rap music, but i do listen to it and have been for a long time. You would also know that im a HUGE Jay-Z fan. Now, some people like to call me arrogant and cocky which i often like to refute, but it is what it is. By no means what so ever am i comparing myself to Hov, however in this instance, i do see a parallel and im going to speak on it.
Listen, if you are a broke, upcoming, 2 or 3 albums (maybe 1.2 -4 millions sold) you really should have to get permission to talk shyt about Hov or even mention his name. You are not in his weight class, in his tax bracket, in his skill bracket, in this legend bracket, in his fame bracket, in his cool bracket, not even in his bitch bracket (that being bitches he fucks w/ and bitches you fuck with). These corny ass little kids and thousandairs want to call out Jay-Z out his name and refer to him as "old man" are simply just ridiculous to me. You have no leg to stand on, you have no reputability, you are barely a local celeb and i think you should be fined for even coming out your face.
If you want to call Jay-Z an old man and have someone pay you any attention, get some of that Young Money he has, Sell some albums (not ring tones), Headline a world tour(not be the opening act before the opening act). If Jay-Z is such an old man, then respect your elders lil niggaz!
Now, as for me in this situation, im not Jay-Z I dont even have a lock on NYC, and if dont I challenge you to tell me who does. Anyway, my company and I (ShowcaseEnt) have been doing this for a long time and have done it with and against some of NYC legends and held our own and come up on top time and time again. So if you want to talk shyt about us or any one of us (especially me) do a party more than once a Quarter, call a club owner and go into a meeting, set up a deal, do a weekly party that last more than 4months, travel outside of NYC and do a party, shyt, travel outside BK or BX or Qns (thats if you even made it into Manhattan yet). Dont mention my name or my company name unless your asking for the damn guest list. You're trying to get to close and as Mack says "state your name and rank from a distance" I DONT KNOW YOU DUKE!!!!!! We (ShowcaseEnt) are humble ppl ... we came from humble beginnings, but we have earned respect and demand it. Our dues have been payed, now we will continue reaping our PROFITS!!!!!

HIP HOP IS NUMBER ONE BABY!!
What happens when you marry an $82 million hip-hop brand and an $80 million R&B empire? You get Hollywood's best-paid power couple.
Thanks to a monster year filled with music, movies, fashion and endorsement deals, Jay-Z and his new bride, Beyoncé Knowles, collectively raked in $162 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008. The jaw-dropping sum garners them bragging rights atop our first annual ranking of Hollywood's Top-Earning Couples.
"Naturally, powerful people tend to gravitate toward other powerful people," explains clinical psychologist and celebrity researcher Jim Houran, for reasons that range from proximity (stars hang around other stars) to familiarity (people are attracted, at least initially, to others like them) to clearer expectations (shared priorities make it easier for celebrities to relate). No matter how they get together, the results are good for the bottom line.
Take Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. They hauled in some $85 million over the past year, making them No. 2 on our list. Though Jada's resume continues to grow, Will's the family breadwinner. He raked in $80 million in the year ending June 2008, thanks to another set of top-performing blockbusters: I Am Legend, The Pursuit of Happyness and this past summer's Hancock. Together the flicks banked $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office, making him Hollywood's most bankable star. Jada pulled in $5 million during the same 12-month period, thanks to roles as an actress (The Women), producer (The Human Contract) and businesswoman (a stake in beauty line Carol's Daughter).
Third: David and Victoria Beckham. Conquering fans on both sides of the Atlantic, the power couple brought in $58 million over the year-long period.
Becks' share was $50 million, proving the much-covered move to America has paid off for the British soccer star. Though his Los Angeles Galaxy salary was $5.5 million, the sum more than doubled when his cut of the team's ticket, merchandise and sponsorship revenues were factored in. He also pulled down a cool $35 million from lucrative endorsement His wife, better known by her pop-star moniker, Posh, generated another $8 million, thanks to her cut of a $23 million Spice Girls reunion tour and a slew of product lines, including sunglasses, perfume, couture clothing and her DVB jeans line.
