Raking It In For 2010!
Filed under: Rihanna > Alicia Keys
It seems there a few celebs whose presence is worth a pretty penny on New Year's Eve!
And they will be starting 2010 off right with some mayjah $$$$$$!
Princess RiRi will be collecting a royal fee of $500,000 to perform at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, which will be her first concert in the Middle East.
"She was supposed to perform back in May [in Abu Dhabi], but she cancelled in the aftermath of the assault. This is a make-up date," said a source.
But, she not the only one raking in the dough!
Alicia Keys is getting paid $250,000 to throw a holiday concert in NYC!!
Wowsa!
Happy New Year!

I bet RIRI won't be able to show as much legleg in the Middle East .
first,hope they think of me on their shopping list
why is the one that can sing getting less money and not singing?
For that kind of money I hope RiRi is also giving the promoters a blowjob.
Re: Be-Atch – If Beyoncé was allowed to perform in her skimpy leotard costumes I don't think Rihanna will have any problems
Alicia Keys is amazing - Rihanna is a has been!
How much is Sliimy getting for New Year's Eve? Where will he be busking for spare change?
That is 499,999.99 too much for RiRI to sound like a strangled cat.
Alicia has way more talent the Rhianna but is getting paid less? Makes no sense@!
overpaid…..i seriously would help people out if i was getting paid that kind of money. there are so money people struggling and celebrities get paid millions. WOW! what do they do??? doctors who SAVE PEOPLES LIFE get less than that
I would LOVE to see Alicia in NY man. That will be one helluva show. I couldn't care less about Rihanna or where she's going as long as she stays there and doesn't return. She better go buy some new clothes though. Her hooker outfits aren't allowed in the Middle East. (hmm..wonder if she even owns a pair of pants?)
Re: canderson – I don't think she was able to. I think she had to make a ton of changes to make sure her outfits weren't too short. I know Gwen Stafani had to cover up too.
Alicia is looking beautiful. Rihanna, NOT. Please, girl, lose that UGLY hairstyle/color. OMG, it's absolutely awful.
Riri. Yuck. And leave it to a Jamaican pop star to gladly sell-out to the arabs. They can buy anything they want. Including Perez. He'd be their butt boy for much less than the 500K that they're paying this thug, gangsta, soon-to-be irrelevant.
I find it STRANGE that Keys is making much less, which MUCH more talent, then Rhiannass with NO TALENT!
Listen to "If I ain't got you" by A.K.
Alicia and Rhianna are both gaining weight in the wrong places. They should be looking young and sexy not wide and middle aged. Get it together young ladies! One thing you also have in common is that neither of you can really sing. Once upon a time Alicia could carry a note, but she has in a few short years ruined her voice and it sounds off-key and strained. Rhianna never could carry a note and now by singing ballads she is getting exposed for having no musical talent. This time next year they will both be washed up and yesterdays news. They also have that in common, they are both going to be replaced by some new younger prettier girls who have some real talent.
Alicia has nothing to worry about…AKeys is a songwriter!!! She writes ALL of her songs, and who gets the royalties when the song is played??? That's right, NOT the singer but the SONGWRITER….And we ALL know RiRi does not write any of the shit she sings…Not to mention that Vitamin water deal AKeys took to the bank a while back…RiRi knows she has to get it while the getting is good…She won't be here forever…Alicia will be though!!
