1) The comedian Anthony Anderson is taking dates for $20k. Plus 2k for the travel buy out

2) Boris Kudjoe is taking hosting dates between $8k-$11k

3) Pooch hall from The Game wants $6k. 2 people traveling for hosting

4) Dj Erie Jamie Foxx DJ wants $11k for after parties and he’ll announce it from the stage and Jamie might possibly show up but that can’t be a definite.

5) Jamie Foxx is taking After parties on his tour for $44k.



Doesn't Prince charge about a million these days for playing at a private party?

Even if I win the Mega Millions tonight and scoop up $80 mil after taxes, I wouldn't pay $2 million for anyone.

A few years ago,Madonna was offered $10 million to perform a show at a private party in Dubai.She turned it down.I think Kylie Minogue took her place,for alot less money.

Keith Urban - $250K (a STEAL)
Clay Walker - $100K
Kelly Clarkson - $250K, but could be negotiated to $200K
The Pointer Sisters - $100K (which is who we went with, after they threw in the O'Jays)
Village People - $50K
Earth, Wind and Fire - $250K
Hall & Oates - $150K

James Taylor - $300K

How was Raphael?



I was really digging him. Im a huge fan tho. I was ticked because no one was feeling his new music and he knew it. They didnt bother to get out of their seats.
When he started to sing tony toni tone stuff thats when they got into it.

confused neutral You know how we do. But I bet they did the electric slide all night long to Frankie an' nems tired ass set. rolleyes

I can't believe no one on here pointed out Prince.

http://prince.org/msg/12/229697

It was under the radar, but true. He didn't host it, he played music as the band.

What kind of a chump is so desperate for a name to make an appearance at their party they'd pay for it? Everyone's going to know you hired the celeb anyhow, so who the hell's going to be impressed with their presence? You'd think partying with Prince or Jamie Foxx or whoever could only be something to brag and show off about if they showed up just because they heard you threw a slamming party, or better yet, thought you were a cool guy.

Think about it: "I paid Prince $2 million to be here and lurk beside the punch bowl", versus "Prince thinks I'm awesome!"
