Singer/actress Beyoncé Knowles and her husband, rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter have been named the year’s biggest “Biggest Power Couple” in the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records, based on their combined income of $122 milion through June 2009.

Among those listed in the book are Michael Jackson - for breaking the record for the “Most Searched-For Male” on the internet following his death and Tiger Woods - for bringing in $103 million and becoming the “Most Powerful Sports Star”. [ SOURCE ]

GABRIELLE UNION SET TO LAUNCH PLUS-SIZE CLOTHING LINE

Actress Gabrielle Union announced that she will be launching her very own clothing line called Love & Blessings by Gabrielle. Union decided to cater her line to plus-size women after realizing how difficult it was for her sister to find fitting and flattering clothing. In an interview with AOL’s Blackvoices.com, Union also added:

“My sister is very plus-size and curvy,” Union told Black Voices. “As with many black women, we have a harder time finding clothes to complement our curves, so I want to make clothes for women at any and all sizes that look absolutely great on them.” [ SOURCE ]

She hopes to launch her line in the summer of 2011 on the Home Shopping Network (HSN).

T.I. ORDERED BACK TO COURT

Rapper/actor Clifford “T.I.” Harris has been summoned back to court in regards to his arrest earlier this month. U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. - the same judge who sentenced him to jail in 2009 - ordered him back to court for three probation violations: possession of ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon.

No word on an actual hearing date. [ SOURCE ]
