RIHANNA NEEDS TO HAVE A TALK WITH JANET JACKSON

OK, we can’t help but compare Rihanna’s romance with Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel with Janet Jackson’s relationship with Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana. Both American singers were swept off their feet by their guy’s sophisticated manners and generosity. Not to mention their good looks. Rihanna and Hassan have been together since before June, and she should keep in mind: dating these guys can really be fun, but marry at your own risk! Remember how Janet started wearing black burkas to please her husband’s Muslim religion? Janet’s brother said her husband became very controlling and she felt TRAPPED! The Muslim religion is NOT a friend to women. Rihanna is already wearing suspiciously dark and loose fitting clothing. Is she pregnant? For her sake, we hope not.

Above, Rihanna and Hassan left a Grammy party separately, for some reason

MARIAH CAREY AND JAMES PACKER: DO THEY BELONG TOGETHER?

142896PCN_CareyPacker0cut)

Wow. This is a rare photo of Mariah Carey out for the evening and NOT holding on to one or two men to keep her from tripping in her stilettos. Maybe this photo is telling us something about her relationship with billionaire James Packer. The couple was photographed at Nobu in NYC and Maria looks giddy as a schoolgirl – she probably has a big crush on him. Packer seems to be paying more attention to the paparazzi than he is to Mariah (she could fall on her face!) Packer’s “crush” on Mariah might be wearing off – she IS hard to please and self-centered in her private life. He’s probably enjoys the publicity he’s getting now, but we predict he will tire of her self-indulgence. Being with Mariah can be hard work.

MARIAH CAREY FINALLY SAID YES – AND TOOK A TUMBLE

One man was not enough to get Mariah Carey, 45, safely onto a yacht in her ridiculous shoes. She took a tumble on the stairs and held onto her Celine bag for dear life. One security guy caught her mid-fall and another took her other arm to get her down the stairs intact. It was, of course, her new boyfriend James Packer’s huge yacht in Ibiza. He’s a 47 year old Australian tycoon worth 4.7 billion who has been pursuing Mariah for years. (And he has a full head of hair!) She finally said yes and it’s been smooth sailing ever since…

NAOMI CAMPBELL IS A BILLIONAIRE MAGNET

Naomi+Campbell+Naom#17D3cut

Apparently Naomi Campbell isn’t the least bit persnickety about the billionaires who take her shopping. Another of her “dear friends” is Nigerian oil billionaire Kola Aluko, who loves celebrities and is known for throwing huge sums of money around while his fellow Nigerians suffer and die in poverty. He recently purchased yet another extravagant property in Los Angeles – a Bel Air mansion priced at 29 million. He already has a 50 million dollar yacht and recently enjoyed a 1.5 million dollar bottle of champagne to the disgust of his impoverished two wives and children back in Nigeria. Naomi loves to go shopping with the generous Kola, but she won’t “date” him – not because of the wives- because he’s not all that attractive. (Click HERE to see them shopping)

THE BILLIONAIRE ZUCKERBERGS – NO CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION HERE

The polar opposite of Kim K and Kanye West are our new favorite newlyweds- the unpretentious Zuckerbergs. Imagine being more interested in your WORK than material status symbols! Priscilla Chan is a billionaire’s wife who has never been seen lugging a $100,000 Kelly bag or wearing Louboutin shoes! She walked down the aisle in a $4,700 dress and her wedding ring cost a paltry $25,000! Their modest wedding featured $7.50 burritos on the menu. She’s no trophy wife or pampered princess – now that Priscilla has earned her medical degree from UC, she plans to work as a pediatrician. Obviously Silicon Valley is producing a whole new breed of brilliant but likeable and admirable billionaires with old-fashioned work ethics. They’re a credit to America.

NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE LUXURY OF THE TITANIC WITHOUT FEAR OF DROWNING

#titanic

What better time than the 100th anniversary of the sinking of The Titanic, to announce the production of a 21st century exact replica of the iconic cruise ship? Australian billionaire Clive Palmer is so enthralled by The Titanic legend that he’s having a duplicate cruise ship built in China. He’s hired a historical research team to work with architects to exactly reproduce the interior and exterior of the 840 room, 9 deck ship in precisely the same dimensions. Below the water line the ship will feature state of the art engineering and safety. An updated gym (above, the original) and swimming pools will be discreetly included for passengers comfort. Typical cruise ships cost around $500 million to build – this will certainly cost much more. The Titanic II will take the same maiden voyage from England to North America that the original did, and is set for 2016. We’re betting Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet will be invited along for the ride. Make your reservations early.

JAY-Z IS SO RICH NOW HE FORGOT WHERE HE CAME FROM

Jay-Z abruptly stopped selling his $22 “Occupy Wall Street” t-shirts from his Rocawear clothing line when he was lambasted for not donating any of the proceeds to the Wall Street protesters. His t-shirts, manufactured in Mexico, had the words “Occupy Wall Street” with red graffiti spray altering the slogan to read “Occupy all Streets” and were selling like hotcakes. He was embarrassed when it was pointed out that he was selfishly cashing in on the protest. It’s especially ironic, since Jay-Z’s net worth is said to be $1 billion which puts him in the “1 percent” club that protesters are griping about.

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t seem terribly distraught over the fact the she announced her marriage was over last Friday. Anyway, there’s no time for tears. This week she’s packing up her wigs and flying off to the Ukraine where she’s booked for a private performance for a billionaire there, who’s paying her close to a million dollars. And why not? Now that she’s single she might meet an incredibly wealthy Russian who tickles her fancy.

WHO’S THE GUY IN THE GAP T SHIRT EATING ON THE SIDEWALK? MARK ZUCKERBERG!

You never know who you’re going to run into at a taco stand in California. Nobody else in line paid any attention when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg joined the line at a stand near his Palo Alto office, and quietly waited his turn. He ordered two chicken tacos with rice and tortilla chips and sat down with a friend in a shop doorway to eat his less that six dollar meal. Keep in mind, unpretentious Mark is the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, and Time magazine named him “Most Influential Man Of The Year”. (Mark’s dentist father remarked about the Time article: “It must have been a slow year.”)

FACEBOOK FOUNDER BILLIONAIRE MARK ZUCKERBERG LEADS AN UNPRETENTIOUS LIFE

“The Social Network” has created quite an image for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whether he likes it or not. We were surprised to learn that the 26 year old, who is supposedly worth SEVEN BILLION dollars, lives in this modest, 4 bedroom rental home located walking distance from Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. (Above, he’s pictured with his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan.) When the weather gets cooler, we wonder if he’ll wear socks with his flip flops like his movie character did.
