Beyonce and Jay-Z are in the big bucks
It comes as no real surprise that Forbes’ top earning Hollywood couples gave the first place to Beyonce and Jay-Z who apparently had combined earnings of 122 million dollars between June 2008 and June 2009. They were far ahead of the second place couple Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart who had a combined about of only 69 million. At least we all know where Beyonce gets her interestingly high sums. It also shows why she probably has such high rates when performing… especially at private parties. After all, customers do like to retain their anonymity when employing a two million-dollar a night star like Beyonce.

AFI ROCK THE ROXY FOR CRASH LOVE RELEASE PARTY
Oct 2, 2009 AFI, Album, Live, Performance, Song
To celebrate the release of their eighth studio album, Crash Love, AFI took to the stage at the world famous Roxy on Sunset thanks to local Los Angeles radio station KROQ. In front of an intimate crowd of hundred’s, rather than thousands that typically fill AFI shows, the band played a thrashing 14 song set filled with classics of the past, and a handful of Crash Love gems that are soon to be just that. Highlights of the night were too many to capsulize, but front man Davey Havok’s front flip into the waiting crowd on “Kill Caustic” and the stunning rendition of The Cure’s classic “Just Like Heaven” marked just a few of the moments that lit up the night. Reminiscent of 1995, AFI welcomed Nick 13 (Tiger Army) and Geoff Kresge (ex AFI/Tiger Army) to the stage to sing “Nyquil,” a track from the band’s first album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable. Electric performances of AFI’s radio singles “Miss Murder” and Crash Love’s “Medicate” put a cap on a night that will not soon be forgotten by the fan’s lucky enough to be present that night.
Fans of AFI who could not be at the show now have the chance to watch a handful of videos from the epic evening on KROQ.com. To find out when and where you can see AFI live, visit www.AFireInside.net/events. Crash Love is in-stores now and available everywhere good music is sold.
