Obama, Jay-Z, Beyonce; exclusive NYC fundraiser

-
 President Obama, Beyonce and Jay-Z mingle at an exclusive fundraiser couple threw on behalf of the president in New York. 
Perhaps the highlight of the president’s trip was a $40,000-per-ticket fundraiser hosted by music power couple Beyon
cé and Jay-Z, held at the hip hop mogul’s 40/40 Club. About 100 people, who sipped on wine and champagne and nibbled on finger food, attended the event, according a pool report provided by the White House press corps.


“I can’t tell you how proud we are to host tonight’s event with President Obama,” Beyoncé said. “We believe in his vision.”

Obama thanked the couple for their friendship and told the crowd that his wife and daughters were mad at him because they weren’t able to attend the event and that Beyoncé “could not be a better role model for my girls.”

He also said that he and new father Jay-Z have a lot in common.

“We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are,” the president said. “So, you know, we’ve got a little bond there. It’s hard but it’s OK.”
"I can't tell you how proud we are to host tonight's event with President Obama," said Beyonce, in a stunning red cocktail dress and blond curls. "We believe in his vision."


The president has enjoyed several A-list fundraising events on his campaign trail, with names like George Clooney and "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy opening up their homes.
In August, Obama hit Long Island to rub elbows with movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and a host committee that included Anne Hathaway, Anna Wintour and Aaron Sorkin. 
Location: New York, NY

Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
