Biggest names in music industry lined up to lend their voices to the major music effort to help Haiti. Two songs have been recorded independently though proceeds from the both will be donated to charity organizations for Haiti relief.

The first track, ‘We Are The World’, that was originally written by Lionel Richi for Michael Jackson 25 years ago to put a spotlight on the tragedy of famine in Africa has been revived to make a change this time again, helping victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

The recording was held on Feb. 1, 2010 with more than 50 stars contributing to the song, Barbara Streisand, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, , Justin Bieber, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson and even Michale Jackson’s kids among them.

beyonce-jayz-top-earning-celebrity-couple-2009

They earn more than any other celebrity couple and what’s more important, Beyonce seems to wear the pants in the family earning twice as much as her rapper/producer hubby.

Forbes has released their annual list of Top Earning Hollywood Couples with the B-Jay-Z family coming first for the second consecutive year.

In 2008 the singing duo also topped the list with astounding $162 million in their celebrity pocket. Last year that was marked by financial crisis brought them $40 million less – $122m all in all through everything from music to movies to apparel to fragrances to pro basketball.

Worth noting that the couple that came second in the list, Harrison Ford and his long term fiancee Calista Flockhardt (#10 in last year’s list), earned $69 million in 2009, almost twice as little as Knowles and Jay-Z. They rank second thanks to Harrison’s $65 million paycheck for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Brangelina came third with combined $55 million, while and husband Keith Urban end the list and sit at number 15 spot with $17 million.

Lady GaGa’s talent and originality win hearts all over the world with some A-listers joining the list, too. The latest to say she adores GaGa is her leotard wannabe Rihanna who told MTV that she thought Lady GaGa to be the top artist 2009.

She has a very bold, fearless image and, I have to say, I have so much respect for original artists … who aren’t afraid to do what they do. That’s what I respect the most. She’s awesome,” Ri explained.

In the same interview Rihanna also revealed her favorite song of the year saying it was definitely ‘Empire State of Mind’ by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

Rihanna said:

It’s timeless. It’s epic, and it makes me want to be from New York every time I hear it. I’m like, ‘Wow, I wish I was in New York, or I wish I was from New York.’ It’s just that great feeling when you hear it.”

A note for GaGa and Jay-Z. In your next speech/interview/whatever don’t forget to say how awesome Rihanna’s new album is. Mutual admiration society, you know

  • Wings cut short, or sort of bdsm pleasure

  • You know I was just thinking about the things that make me vulnerable. Cause I personally hate this feeling, like being hanged in the air like being controlled from outside and unable to do my thing. Generally, who the hell was the first to come up with the idea of control? And the more important question, why do we need it? If I wanna do something I'll do it anyway and either way, and if I do it breaking some rules, escaping the CONTROL, then the feeling would just get better and the victory would just feel sweeter. So why do we need control and sort of submission it takes a long. What sort of bdsm pleasure is that supposed to give?

  • Stirring things up!

  • Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?

    I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.

    If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer.

  • A Good bye to Ruslana

  • Prologue

    Once upon a time there was a little girl who was just like a real princess, but no one knew that she was a princess. She grew up and became a very successful model. She lived up on the Manhattan tower and had almost a prince like boyfriend. One day she got tired of others not seeing that princess inside her. Ruslana Korshunova killed herself. She jumped off that high evil tower.

  • Breaking Rules

  • No matter how obvious it sounds most of the rules have been created long before us. By rules I mean systematized experience of previous generations, like handshakes and etiquette, and things like going for a social smoke. There is a rule that ladies go in first into any door except the elevator.

    But rules are a need for the sense of stability around one. Society needs rules to forecast the effect of a cause, to have at least some confidence of the future. And this is what disappoints people. This is when they lose their confidence because things appear not the way they expected them to be. Those who were really dependent on expectations suffer from facing the world that is unpredictable, that the rules they believed in didn’t work at some turning point.

    So they say that only fools learn through their own mistakes. Don’t you remember your mom telling you not to stick your tong out and put it against the metallic balcony railing when it’s freezing cold outside? Why did I skip my SPSS class with that macho from senior class? All of my friends were telling me he was a player and had nothing else in his head except for getting laid. Why do we learn things only after we go through them? This is what humans are like.

  • Be what You want to Be

  • What do you call it when you feel something against your will? When the call of that something inside you starts ripping your self - esteem in pieces while your consciousness tells you to stop.

    I never had it when I was a child.

    I always felt what I wanted and I always wanted that what I felt.

    Being used to getting what I want I am stuck. Stuck in the position like being lost in the desert. There’s nowhere to go. I can’t deny what I feel but I also can’t afford to feel it. It’s against my beliefs and values. Hum… fuck the beliefs. I don’t care.

    No more. The human mind is such control-freak. It kills me. And if I continue it will sound like a confession to you and this is the least I want to do.

  • Sex Agenda

  • Inspired by “fuck” conversation last Saturday, which is a very delicate subject.

    All of us, living in a fast growing temper of big cities are busy. We go to work, go to college full time, or have kids to take care of. There are plenty of things to do. When crazy week days are over we have yoga or tango classes, and shopping to do aside the chorus, french classes and getting a good sleep.

    When is there time for sex?

    The right answer would be - there is always time for sex. But the stress and busyness lead some couples to pencil their intimacy. It is logical, simple and hot to know that your schedule after works has a mark “Ryan 8 pm”. It is exciting to feel the anticipation, but on the other hand do we feel it is comfortable to set up our special moments with an important person for us on a basis of a scheduled task? It seems awkward to plan it, it is out of style, especially for femme-fatale like me, but even when sex is spontaneous, in every woman's head it is always planned. (wink!)
