MONEY MAKING MARRIAGE
The first couple of hip-hop aren't slowing down with their earning potential anytime soon. The Knowles-Carter clan, which united in 2008, earned the top spot on Forbes Celebrity Top-Earning Couples list, pulling in $122 million. With an empire that includes music, clothing lines, world tours and countless high-profile product endorsements, it's no surprise Beyonce out-earned her hubby, Jay-Z, grossing $87 million to his $35 million. We don't think his big ego was affected, much, though. He still has "the hottest chick in the game wearing his chain." Now, if only they could get a baby to inherit all that major paper. [Forbes]

TOUGH TIGER TALKING
Paul Mooney doesn't bite his tongue for anybody, including Tiger Woods. The comedic legend, who jokingly says Woods got his N-word wake-up call, recently lashed at the golf great during a taped radio phone conversation with Davey D. "He got that Becky behind-whooping ... and that little white girl beat the black out of him," said Mooney, who also accused Woods of being on steroids and added, "Daddy left, and he went crazy, and the only mistake he made was sleeping with those white women and leaving them alive. I would tell him to change his name to Cheetah." [YouTube]

STILL AT IT
Rihanna doesn't seem to tire of showing the world her ta-tas. The 'Umbrella' singer found the most bad girl glam dress she could and donned a cut-out Gucci number on the cover of the February issue of W magazine. Rihanna, who was scantily clad for her GQ magazine spread and in her latest music video, 'Hard,' is seen topless in the pictorial spread. In the interview, she talks about her former lover Chris Brown -- calling him insecure. She also talked about how focusing on her career helped her through the pain. "I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist," she explained. "With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy."

BIG KISS OFF
Kiss better have my money is DL Hughley's latest cry. The comedian's lawyers claim the New York radio station WRKS (98.7 KISS-FM) owes Hughley $359,000 for his morning talk radio show, which launched in June. The station has decided to sue his reps for threatening to yank him off the air in the pay dispute. And although some quick negotiations kept the public from getting word of the problems, things are now getting really messy. [New York Daily News]

HAVING HER SAY
Keyshia Cole's sister Elite Noel just wants their family feud to be over. But some say she's not happy about being cut off from her wealthy sister's funds. It seems her sisterly tiff stems from an answer to a fan question, which Keyshia was not happy about. In a statement, Elite, who was at one time Keyshia's personal assistant, says she has done "absolutely nothing wrong" and "it is K.C.'s choice not [to] speak." She's hoping that both her son and Neffe's children can continue a relationship with their superstar aunt -- or at least get some money. Elite added that she isn't giving up on helping their mother, Frankie, get help. [Crunk & Disorderly]

'SHORE' NUFF
Poor Snookie. The 'Jersey Shore' star can't catch a break. In a recent episode of the hit MTV reality series, some big-boned girls took to slapping her around – and it was in her own house. At any rate, Brad Ferro, the guy who famously punched her in a Seaside Heights bar, was fired as the gym teacher from his Queens high school. [Bossip]
