FORBES HIGHEST PAID STARS UNDER 30

Now leave it up to Forbes to let us know who is making a lot more money than us! This is the Forbes List of Highest Paid Stars Under 30. Looking at the list, you'll notice that the highest paid celebrities are mainly females and almost all in the music industry, besides the Twilight stars. Forbes looked at the earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 and included pay for everything entertainment related such as album and concert revenue, movie pay days and endorsements.


Robert Pattinson - 26
Pay - $26.5 million
Now I can see how he makes the list, at least he has a list of movies that he's starred in besides Twilight including Remember Me and Water for Elephants. For some reason, this "vampire" looks a lot older than 26 too! He is young...or is he fooling us?

Taylor Lautner - 20
Pay - $26.5 million
I honestly don't see how Taylor Lautner has made that much money with basically having Twilight under his belt. Fame and popularity raked in the bucks on this one.

Lil Wayne - 29
Pay - $27 million
Okay, for some reason, why did I think Lil Wayne was older than 29?! He's still so young and has gone through so much! Props to him! During the past year, he has earned $600,000 per show and has recently launched his own clothing line called Trukfit and signed a big endorsement deal with Mountain Dew.

Kristen Stewart - 22
Pay - $34.5 million
Glad to see Kristen Stewart made it on this list and managed to top the list of the Highest Paid Actresses. Her movies include big hits such as the Twilight saga, and Snow White and the Huntsman. The constant tabloid press around her and Robert Pattinson doesn't hurt either.

Adele - 24
Pay - $35 million
I guess it does pay to sing about heartbreak. From her album 21, she has sold over 23 million copies AND has won all 6 Grammy awards for which she was nominated. Try beating that!

Katy Perry - 27
Pay - $45 million
If you didn't know, Katy Perry and Michael Jackson are the only artists in music history to have 5 #1 singles from the same album. On her California Dream tour, she grossed an impressive $60 million dollars!

Lady Gaga - 26
Pay - $52 million
Formerly topping the list last year, Lady Gaga takes a back seat since she's not touring. Her money this year comes a lot from music sales and her social media influence.

Rihanna - 24
Pay - $53 million
Money talks that talk to Rihanna. Besides releasing one hit after another, she's involved with endorsements with Vita Coco and Nivea along with her own fragrance Reb'l Fleur. Stay tuned for her upcoming tour!

Justin Bieber - 18
Pay - $55 million
Wherever Justin Bieber goes, money and screaming girls follow. Did you know that his video "Baby" is the most watched video in YouTube history? Now that's a feat!

Taylor Swift - 22
Pay - $57 Million
Taylor Swift is a money-making machine. During her most recent tour, she made about $1 million per night. Her many accolades include winning two Grammys for the song "Mean" and being one of the faces of CoverGirl.

Power to the under 30 stars who have made this list! Not only are they young, but very talented! Were you surprised to see who made the list?

Billboard Music Awards 2012 Fashion Recap

Now you know that I can't forget about paying homage to the fashion at the Billboard Music Awards last night. Since there weren't a lot of stellar fashion trends last night just from the women, I included some men in here as well. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like there weren't a lot of big names there that were that memorable on the red carpet. Anywho, here's who made my Dressed List.


Brandy - Looked amazing in this Herve Leger by Max Azria dress that fit so perfectly with her afro hair and just the look and feel of the music awards.

Katy Perry - Looked celestial in this Bluemarine purple gown. Congrats on being the only female recognized to have five #1 hit singles!

Monica - Pulled an Angelina on the white carpet. Talk about blending in, she looked beautiful!

Alicia Keys - Looked so chic and elegant in this black Azzedine Alaia gown that fit her curves so perfectly. I love her funky updo too!

Jordin Sparks - Kept in the nude with this pretty Diane von Furstenburg dress. This beauty looked amazing that night!

Nelly Furtado - All I can say is I love this Alberta Ferretti dress! Maybe the necklace overpowered this dress a bit too much though...

Usher - Okay Usher, we know you look fly in this electric baby blue suit! Props to you sir!

Swizz Beatz - Oh you fancy uh? I am definitely feeling this cream suit!

Robin Thicke - Rockin' the checkered jacket is the svelte voice Robin Thicke! I like this funky style!

Eric Benet - There are so many patterns going on here, but somehow it works for Mr. Eric Benet!

Some fashion trends that were highlighted last night were checkered jackets, pastel and nude colors and...LEGS! Show off your hard work in the gym with your beautiful legs! You deserve it, but don't forget to WORK IT!

KATY PERRY DISSES BEYONCE & SHAKIRA'S DUET

Okay, not headlining news as of today, but still pretty big because someone be dissing Beyonce! And we know she "run the world" because she said so. Well this someone is California Girl Katy Perry. If you didn't know, Katy Perry and Rihanna have been pretty close friends for awhile now and they have been working on a duet for some time. But, Katy explains that this collaboration has taken some time because they want it to be great, not like "Beautiful Liar".

Here is exactly what she said: "We've collaborated on a lot of things, but just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build up that we have to deliver. I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves,'...Not 'Beautiful Liar.'"

I don't get why this is considered really just dissing Beyonce, when it's with Shakira too. Shouldn't it be considered dissing both? Funny thing is that "Beautiful Liar" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007.

In closing, Katy Perry adds: "How disappointed would you be if that song came out and it's no good? Sometimes you have to wait for greatness." Well we are waiting girl, and it better be a lot better!

RUSSELL BRAND FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM KATY PERRY

And with more couple news, Russell Brand has filed for divorce on Friday December 30th, from Katy Perry citing "irreconcilable differences". Though this may seem a shock to the public, many in the celebrity world are not surprised.

When the couple met on an awards show a few years ago, they both caught each other's eyes. From that moment on, their fast track to romance led to a lavish wedding ceremony in India. From the public eyes, and mine I saw them as an odd match. First off, Katy is utterly beautiful and Russell is not that attractive. But both seemed to compliment each other with their wittiness and sense of humor aspect.

But as I'm reading up on these divorce articles, it said that the two were complete opposites. Trying to tackle a sober lifestyle now, Russell was more of a homebody than Katy who enjoyed going out on the scene and partying it up. They would usually get into arguments regarding these matters on how Russell always wanted to leave early and Katy wanting to stay. Something that I did notice though was that they were hardly together it seemed. While he was off on film sets, she was touring all the time.

Though rumors have constantly been circulating on marriage problems, things became really suspect when Russell was off in London seen without his wedding ring and Katy was in Hawai'i on Christmas Day. I guess all that denying really caught up to them. Though they are getting divorced, Russell said in a statement to the AP, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." I honestly was shocked with this news after being married for a little over a year, especially because both claimed they became vegan after watching Forks Over Knives which I believe is a big step as a couple as one. Anyways, I should've known better, it's Hollywood peoples!

WHITE GIRLS GOT CURVES

It's been portrayed in media that white women don't necessarily possess the gift of being curvy. But these women were blessed with these gifts in some way or the other. Some may not be 100% real (such as the girls), but the rest sure is and that's the most important ;) Check out my little list and see if you agree.


KATY PERRY - She truly embodies the California Girl ideal with a bubbly personality, independent, and beautiful of course. Her spunk and playful personas really bring attention to her wonderful assets of the ladies, HANDS DOWN BEST RACK. She can be our teenage dream 24/7.

KATE WINSLET - talk about the most natural curves, she really has everything going for her. When I look at her pictures I'm like how does her body look so beautiful, effortless, feminine and sexy? Many of us wish we didn't have to work so hard to get those au naturale curves, better yet just be born with those GIFTS.

SCARLETT JOHANNSON - talk about an HOURGLASS figure! Her body reminds me of the old starlet Hollywood days where the women were glamorous and they're body were just naturally curvy and ultra feminine. It doesn't hurt having a beautiful face with that amazing body. Girl look at that body!!!

COCO - maybe she was the woman who brought back the "curvy" in the millenium era, but there's no denying this white girl got curves. Yes her boobs may be fake, but her booty is 100% real, believe that!!! That's just too much to handle!!!

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS - Every time I see her, especially on the red carpet this is what comes to mind: VA-VA-VR00M!!! Everything is just all up in your face without being intentional. She's got curves for days and that red fire engine hair calls attention to her famous assets as well.

JESSICA BIEL - I absolutely love her body! It's the perfect mix of being ultra feminine with the curves and just enough muscle to give her the ultimate toned body. Everything about her is just so natural and effortless which is utterly amazing.

LACEY SCHWIMMER - Who wouldn't notice how curvalicious she is on Dancing with the Stars?! I mean yes she's a professional dancer, but she is actually thick, curvy, and has a toned body because of constantly dancing. Talk about Best of Both Worlds!!!

Now I would call myself an appreciative human of all sorts. I appreciate a woman just like a man for how they look, nothing more. These ladies got curves and that hourglass figure that many of their counterparts don't have which is a blessing. Curvy is much more preferable especially nowadays for depicting healthy feminine traits and is ultra sexy in general. Hope you enjoyed my little list, sweet dreams! ;)
