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?

Chris Brown & Drake Brawl at the Bar Over Rihanna?

News broke out today over a NYC brawl and nightclub WIP in the wee hours of the morning. Though it is reported that the fight was between Chris Brown and Drake, it was actually between Chris Brown and Meek Mill. Yea, sorry I'm not familiar with a Meek Mill...

What makes this story interesting was that it was supposedly over Rihanna. We all know she dated Chris Brown for a few years and he did hook up with Drake and this rapper Meek Mill.

But the story went like this...While Drake and Brown were at the club's VIP section, Drake began pointing and yelling at Brown. This in turn made Brown yell back and both of the guys' entourages charged toward each other. Amidst the fight, someone threw a bottle and then all hell broke loose. By the time the cops showed up at the scene, Drake and Brown fled the scene, while their encourages stayed behind. The club scene was a serious mess with busted tables, mirrors, and lighting, shattering glass all over the floor. Five people were injured in the brawl, most notably Chris Brown who suffered from a gash on his chin in which he tweeted right after: "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!."

I already knew Rihanna got it, but did you know she got it like that where a nightclub would be decorated with broken glass and injured men? Go girl, keep doing your thing! Men deserve to fight over a woman anyways! I wonder though, who do you think would've won if Chris Brown and Drake actually fought?

MET GALA FASHION RECAP 2012

The Met Gala is an annual event where the biggest names in the entertainment industry are invited to attend. This exclusive and lavish gala showcases the most daring and couture fashions. See who made my Best Dressed list for this star-studded night.


BEYONCE - I admit, this woman is beautiful and her body is out of this world, especially after giving birth to Blue Ivy not too long ago. This Givenchy gown is also beautiful, but a bit overly ornate and I just can't get over that nude bodysuit that's so obvious underneath.

CAMILLA BELLE - No, she is not just on this list because our names are a consonant off. She looks amazing in this body hugging dress by Ralph Lauren makes her figure look impeccable. I love the overall look with the pulled back hair and dark lipstick.

SOLANGE KNOWLES - brightened up the red carpet in this yellow Rachel Roy peplum dress.

JANUARY JONES - I see another trend in this bright yellow Peplum style dress by Versace. I like how it hugs her curves and gives that svelte appearance.

KATE BOSWORTH - This dress is not the best, but I love how she matched her dark lipstick to her dress with her hair slicked up in a tight bun. Definite trends this season!

CATE BLANCHETT - Another trend that you may be noticing is feather detailing. These black feathers make your typical black Alexander McQueen dress instantly look high fashion, especially when the design is minimal.

IVANKA TRUMP - She looks absolutely stunning in this midnight blue Peter Pilotto gown, just wish the colors photographed better on camera. It's hard to see the beautiful detailing!

HILARY SWANK - She looks totally amazing in this bergundy Michael Kors gown that shows off her out of this world figure! I mean look at it!

AMY ADAMS - looked breathtaking in this flowing Giambattista Valli dress. I love the gold bow detailing for the belt!

KATHARINE MCPHEE - What a HOT MAMA she is in this body fitting Elie Saab gown! Her whole outfit is perfect put together from her hair, makeup, to the perfect little belt cinching her waist. I love how she decided to opt for the summer color tangerine, it makes her skin glow beautifully.

RIHANNA - Ask me why Rihanna's body is so perfect and I'll tell you I have no idea. But perfect bodies can make anything look great such as this black Tom Ford alligator gown. She definitely rocked it!

KAROLINA KURKOVA - SHE WAS MY BEST DRESSED OF THE NIGHT HANDS DOWN! She looks like a goddess in this gold Rachel Zoe gown with matching turban. The occasion, the accessories, just everything was perfect about this outfit.

Some trends you can definitely take away from this year's Met Gala include Dark Lipstick, sleek hair pulled back, and a twist to the usual black dress. Don't be afraid to experiment with darker shades and textures that make any outfit go above and beyond.

Rihanna's "Where Have You Been"

Rihanna's new video for "Where Have You Been" premiered not too long ago! I love the direction she's going with this techno sound. She has the perfect voice to not only make a song danceable, but to carry the song. No matter what all these haters are saying about her, NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE can sing a song exactly like Rihanna. You can of course try, but every attempt will be a fail and not nearly as close.

Check out her video for her latest single. It's very tribal, mixed with modern sexiness. Get em girl!

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!

RIHANNA & CHRIS BROWN REUNITE ONCE AGAIN!

So Rihanna's birthday was two days ago on the 20th and did she cause a stir. Her and Chris Brown released not one, but two remixes of their tracks. Check them out here:

BIRTHDAY CAKE [REMIX]




TURN UP THE MUSIC [REMIX]




Now as you already know, I'm not a big fan of Chris Brown at all after he hit Rihanna about three years ago. But as of late, both of them seemed to have make amends. Slowly but surely, she took off the restraining order she had against Chris Brown, then both were seen getting together, tweeting to each other, then BOOM IN ALL OUR FACES! I honestly like the Birthday Cake song though, it's a SMASH HIT! They playin' us 'yall!!!

CHRIS BROWN POLICE REPORT RELEASED

So yesterday, the excruciating detailed report of Chris Brown beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna went public. You can read it here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1606481/chris-brown-police-report-provides-details-altercation.jhtml

Yes, Chris Brown just won a Grammy this past weekend and I can see why the media wants to exploit him once again. And I seriously have no problem with that, because I feel no one should forget what happened that night. Yes, Chris Brown is talented, but he's a woman beater! How can you still like someone after that? I don't know about you, but that's just me.

After reading that report, I seriously felt sick to my stomach. It was definitely worse than I had imagined. I mean ladies, just put yourself in her shoes! I honestly don't know why she's still talking to him, I have cut off people for WAY WAY LESS! I feel this matter is about respectful who we are as individuals and seeing our worth. Why would anyone want to possibly go back to someone or be with someone like that with such a violent past? Say what you want, but that is not okay with me, and I'm sticking to it.

GRAMMYS 2012 RECAP

The Grammy's were this past Sunday, and there was an eerie buzz surrounding the awards ceremony which immediately followed the tragic death of icon Whitney Houston. But the show must go on, and it did. LL Cool J hosted the event and right off the bat addressed the elephant in the room by mentioning Whitney Houston's passing and saying a prayer for her.

The Grammy's this year for me were pretty boring, I didn't even know who was nominated or who were performing really. From watching the extra long broadcast which was like 3 1/2 hours, Adele definitely stole the show. She won like all the awards in every category she was nominated in and her performance was flawless, even after her vocal surgery. Jennifer Hudson also sang a tribute to Whitney Houston, which was very emotional for everyone watching. For the entire list of winners, check this link: http://www.grammy.com/nominees



Now it's time to highlight the best dressed of the night:

ADELE looked beautiful in a black sparkling Armani dress. Having her hair down for once really brought attention to her pretty face.

TAYLOR SWIFT looked amazing in a gold silk mermaid gown by Zuhair Murad, I loved the higher collar.

GWYNETH PALTROW looked so sleek in a black Stella McCartney gown. The hair slicked back definitely made this outfit look so put together.

ALICIA KEYS showed off those crazy curves in a black Alexandre Vauthier dress accented with gold jewelry.

MIRANDA LAMBERT looks pretty in a Pavoni nude evening gown that perfectly matched her golden aura.

RIHANNA looked sizzling in a custom black Giorgio Armani gown with plunging neckline and high slit. She has the perfect amount of sex appeal in this outfit without making it look overdone, MY BEST DRESSED FOR THE NIGHT!

MATT KEMP RUDE BOY BOY GET IT UP

MATT KEMP...okay I knew he was cute, but dang I didn't know he is THAT FIONE!!! At work I was going through a whole bunch of fashion sites and came upon the urban one where it had an article about LA Dodger Matt Kemp being featured. Just seeing one picture from the ad, made me click it and boy did I want to find out more about him. This year he is most likely going to be awarded MVP of the Year because he's playing so well. Let's go find out more about this Oklahoma native :)



On being a professional baseball player...

“I’ve been playing baseball since I was four years old. Now, we’re grown men playing a little kid’s sport, so why not have fun doing it, and get paid some good money to do it, too? I’m living the dream, man. Not everybody gets to go to work everyday and love what they do."

Being from Oklahoma and living that L.A. lifestyle, things change here and there such as your fashion sense and tastes in certain things...

“Yeah, it’s a little different living out here. There are good restaurants. Sushi—I never would have thought I’d be eating sushi. Like when I first moved out here, I was like, ‘I’m not eating that shit. Sushi? That’s raw fish. I’m not putting that shit in my mouth. It’s not going to happen.’ But one day, I would be around people that would say I’ve got to try new things. So I give everything a chance, you know? And fortunately I tried sushi one day and it actually became one of my favorite foods. So, I definitely can get a little bougie. We all change. I’m from Oklahoma. Back home is a little behind because it’s a slower city. It’s not a big city. But it’s definitely growing now that we have an NBA team3. We just got a Saks Fifth. I’m happy about that. Saks Fifth Avenue. I’m going to be going there. Oklahoma ain’t never had one of those.”

On his one weakness: SHOPPING...

“Yeah, that’s (Barney's) one of my favorites. Shoes and clothes, man. I like to look nice when I go places. I think we all do for the most part. You want to walk around feeling good about yourself. In the past year-and-a-half, two years, I got into being around fashionable people. I started to enjoy the things that other people I was around enjoyed like clothes and shoes. It’s fun. I think it’s fun to go into a store and try to figure out what to put with some shoes or your outfit or whatever, and rock it. I’m like a chameleon, man. I can switch it up. I can one day be wearing some Jordans or nice retro sportswear with some jeans, a shirt, and a hat, and make that look nice. And then I can wear a collared shirt with some RRL jeans.” Some of his favorite brands include Lanvin and YSL.

On his shopping budgets...

“Sometimes, there’s times. You’ve got to set a little budget for every month or two for yourself. If you go over that budget, it means that you have do less next month. It’s all about saving money. But looking good at the same time.”

After dating world superstar Rihanna for about a year seven months after the abusive end to her relationship with Chris Brown, he opens up a little about love in general...

“I’ve been in love twice, Only twice. That’s enough at 26.” That's 4 years older than me (the magic number)! I guess we are meant to be haha.

In what he looks for in a girl...

“I like confident people. I like positive people. Somebody that can make me a better person. Somebody that makes me want to be a better person. Smart. Pretty, of course. Somebody that is close with their family and loves their family just as much as I love my family. Somebody that knows how to dress. It just boils down to being confident and being comfortable in your own skin and the person that you are.”

In what he prefers his girl's style...

“Definitely somebody that can help me [shop]. I love looking and seeing what kind of shoes women wear. I think that tells me if a person knows what they’re doing. If I like your shoes, and you’re pretty, that’s a good quality. As well as being confident.”

MATT KEMP IS DEFINITELY MVP IN MY BOOK! Not only is he a good baseball player, but you can tell his appreciation for life extends far whether it be adaptation to different lifestyles and doing what he loves. It doesn't hurt that he also loves fashion and takes notice in how a girl expresses herself through fashion. It seems like all those qualities he likes in a female point directly to me haha. HOLLER MATT KEMP!!!
