Beyonce and Jay Z have friends in very high places. So when you read that they top this and that list of the most powerful or whatever, just take that information with a grain of salt.

Beyonce and Jay Z top the list of Vanity Fair‘s annual ranking of “The New Establishment,” a list of “25 members of the power elite. Last year they were no. 8 on that list.

Their meteoric rise to the top of the list prompted E! to ask, “Are ’03 Bonnie and Clyde really the most powerful couple?”

E! mentions that the attention-starved Beyonce “still hasn’t put out a new album,” and what has Jay Z done in the past year to deserve such recognition?

After analyzing Beyonce and Jay Z’s past achievements in a video montage, E! came to the conclusion that Jay Z and Beyonce are the most powerful couple in Hollywood — because Kanye West says so.
