RIHANNA WANTS WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER GOT

Speaking of that lavish Indian wedding, Rihanna is NOT thrilled that she was paid $4 million LESS than Justin Bieber to perform. While Rihanna performed at a pre-wedding party in early May, earning $8 million for her work, (it was her first non Super Bowl performance in 8 years!) Justin recently earned $12 million to perform at the wedding kickoff. According to my source, Rihanna is livid over the snub, and is hoping to get another $4 million from the wedding planners to ease her pain…

WHY KIM KARDASHIAN ATTENDED THAT BILLIONAIRE’S WEDDING IN INDIA

Kim Kardashian was a guest at what is being called the wedding of the decade, but she was the one who walked away with the gift! Kim and her plus one, her sister Khloe, flew to India at the request of Asia’s richest man to attend his son’s lavish wedding reception. According to our source it was PAID APPEARANCE! Kim waltzed away with approximately $5 million plus expenses for attending. Since Khloe was her guest, she didn’t get paid to attend, but my source reveals that Kim plans to share her haul with her. And it looks like they got considerable help in dressing for the occasion…

HOW TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOUR WEDDING: HIRE BEYONCE


Getting married in India has turned into a huge competition for the MOST glamour and extravagance – at least among the billionaire families. The richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani, (net worth 43.4 billion) was determined to have the biggest and best event for his daughter Isha, who married another billionaire. The invitations were fancy chests full of gifts. The 100 million dollar week-long party included entertainment by Beyonce. IMAGINE how much she must have been paid! Isha, a Yale graduate, now will presumably leave the 27 story home she grew up in, which includes multi level gardens and 3 helipads! It’s both fascinating and horrifying…

PAMELA ANDERSON WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY

Pamela Anderson has bills to pay so she doesn’t turn down many job offers. She paid a surprise visit to the Indian version of the reality TV show Big Brother – called “Bigg Boss.” Pam is a huge star in India thanks to Baywatch and the housemates and viewers were thrilled to have her. Pam’s never been to India and hoped to see more than just the Bigg Boss house in Mumbai while she’s there. She’s pictured above arriving and introducing herself to housemates (that big guy must be a wrestler or something.) In another scene she’s sunbathing on what looks like artificial grass- you knew a swim suit had to be part of the deal.

AN OPEN LETTER TO KATY PERRY: IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND!

California Girl Katy Perry- you still have time to back out of plans to marry Russell Brand this weekend in India. After all, you’ve only known each other for a year, and besides having a reputation as drug addled sex addict, Russell wears hair extensions and mascara! Katy- you are too good for him! Plus, he’s ten years older than you! So what if 85 guests have been gathering in India for the week long event which culminates in the wedding ceremony. (Russell also invited a marriage counselor in case there are last minute jitters.) Remember, Katy, if you back out of this wedding, no one will hold it against you! And the hole from that Indian bridal nose ring WILL heal up!

JOHN TRAVOLTA: NO MORE SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER DANCING

Last weekend John Travolta flew his own plane and visited India for the first time with his daughter Ella, 10. (Pregnant Kelly Preston stayed home.) He was in Mumbai to promote the Breitling watch collection, and according to the local paper brought his own team of hairstylists, makeup artists, and a nutritionist for the two day visit. At the evening ceremony, Bollywood stars tried to coax John into dancing a few steps to music from his 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever, but he politely declined.
