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?

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!

TEEN CHOICE AWARDS FASHION RECAP 2011

Ahh I know this is a bit delayed, but here is the fashion recap of the Teen Choice Awards 2011. Check out my review of the event here: http://askmissa.com/2011/08/08/teen-choice-awards-2011/
So like every awards show, we all see who will look their best on the red carpet and that's who I'm about to highlight.



Blake Lively shined in an orange Gucci Resort 2012 leather dress with leopard print Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps. This outfit really showed off her nice curves, yea I said it.

Selena Gomez looks beautiful in a champagne colored Erin Fetherston dress and Brian Atwood heels. I don't think she ever has a bad fashion moment on the red carpet.

Taylor Swift looks pretty and like a PG-13 Marilyn Monroe version in this Rafael Cennamo and Fendi heels. Works those curls and red lips girl!

Kim Kardashian looks classy in a black and white mini Givenchy dress. I'm seriously starting to love the high-bun look!

Nina Dobrev looked very simple in this striped nautical Dolce & Gabbana dress. This dress is so perfect for summertime and reveals a very fun side.

Lucy Hale looks so cute in this sequined David Yurman dress. Maybe the barely there back was slightly inappropriate to wear to a teenage awards show, but the dress is bomb.

Cameron Diaz still can rock a mini dress in a beige strapless A.L.C. dress with Burak Uyan heels. She always looks like the life of the party and I absolutely love that about her. By the way, her body is toned to the core!

Taylor Swift & Chord Overstreet: New Couple Alert?

The 21-year-old country cutie just arrived back in the US earlier this week after completing the leg of her Speak Now tour in Asia.

Earlier this month, Chord described his perfect girl and Taylor definitely fits the type!

“A girl who’s funny, sweet, likes to laugh, and is a good girl,” he said. “She needs to have somewhat of a taste for country music. And she has to be from the South. She doesn’t have to be, but there’s nothing like Southern food.”

BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS WHITE CARPET

So Cannes is now over, and here are the Billboard Music Awards. Sad to say but the red carpet, I mean the "white carpet" was a bit of a let down in Sin City of all places!!! The color of the night was black, womp womp...where is the color when it's practically summer time!!!



BEYONCE: the "Artist of the Millenium" opted for a long sleeve Lanvin cocktail dress. Good thing she showed off the goods in her performance outfit, but Beyonce needed to shine more for her big day.

SELENA GOMEZ: this sexy songstress being amongst the youngest of the musicians, looked the most daring in this Dolce & Gabbana haltered black dress with high slit and cut out sides.

FERGIE: inspired by the S&M look, she strutted the white carpet in a Herve Leger by Max Azria Atlier dress. I wasn't feeling the leather detailing in the hip area, it was a bit too much and would've looked better if it was a tighter fit in that area.

KE$HA: now you'd think she would bring out the daring in Sin City, but Ke$ha toned it down from her usual "style" in a metallic sequined tulle and chiffon cut-out Jad Ghanour dress.

NICKI MINAJ: she literally sparkled in this light blue Mark Fast jumpsuit and bubblegum pink hair. Oohhh Nicki, she never seems to disappoint on any carpet, she brings it every time!!!

TAYLOR SWIFT: this angel definitely sparkled in Vegas with her Elie Saab gown that draped nicely on her tall figure, making her look very glamourous.

RIHANNA: kept it simple with an all white sleek Max Azria suit which stood out amongst her fire engine red hair. Anyone notice the low slit on her shirt though? Super low key.

KERI HILSON: looked like a dose of sunshine in this bright yellow Rachel Roy dress paired with a turquoise belt. Definitely feeling the bright color combo!

KELLY ROWLAND: she takes the prize on best dressed of the night with this hot pink Herve Leger dress. She totally embodies the womanly sexiness of Vegas, and she looks amazing without it being overdone.

SOFIA VERGARA BECOMES A COVERGIRL!!!

The beautiful Sofia Vergara will be newest the CoverGirl!!! The Modern Family star will join other beauties of the infamous brand including Drew Barrymore, Taylor Swift, Queen Latifah, and Ellen DeGeneres.

Sofia beams, "When you grow up, you look up to girls in the magazines, and you never think you're going to be that pretty, or that well made-up, or that glamorous. Latin girls can relate to me, see what I'm wearing, see my makeup, my hairstyle."

She is currently shooting her ad campaign which will debut in January 2012. Being the first Latina woman to represent CoverGirl is such a great thing because many females can relate to her. Sofia is so stunning, and what's important is that she embraces her curves, and doesn't promote an unhealthy lifestyle.

JOE JONAS: THE ULTIMATE HOLLYWOOD HEARTBREAKER

Joe Jonas, the metrosexual looking brother of the trio band of brothers, the Jonas Brothers is known for his Hollywood plethora of relationships and he's only 21!!!

His first victim was Taylor Swift, the country sweetheart. She had no problem ousting the details of everything Joe Jonas did wrong in their relationship. Taylor hinted that her next boyfriend would be someone who wasn't ashamed of going out in public with her. But what really shocked people was when she said he broke up with her in 27 seconds over the phone.

After meeting on the set of the Jonas Brothers music video "Lovebug", Joe soon after broke up with Taylor Swift and started dating actress Camilla Belle (though they look like they might be related, no?!). He wrote a song "Much Better" that was supposedly about find a better girlfriend than the previous relationship (implying Camilla > Taylor?!). Though it's not sure why Joe and Camilla broke up, many rumors started to circulate over her relationship with rising tennis star and fellow Brazilian Fernando Verdasco. Camilla claims that she prefers Brazilian men because they are more sensual and more comfortable with their sexuality. Joe Jonas was and currently admits to being heartbroken from this relationship because he wasn't ready to end this since Camilla broke up with him.

Next on his list was fellow Disney star Demi Lovato. After starring in Camp Rock together, they constantly denied their relationship until afterwards. For only a few months, they ended their romance on good terms. Joe Jonas insisted that it was "his choice" to break up with her, but that they still will remain great friends.

Now his latest break-up making headlines is with Twilight star Ashley Greene. After dating for almost a year, these two seemed very content in their relationship. Though he was busy with music and touring around the world, she was also always on set to film the latest movie of the Twilight saga. Recently both Joe and Ashley gushed about each other to different media outlets, but last week it was confirmed about their split up in amiable terms.

Which brings me to my next point, which Hollywood star will this Joe Bro have as his next victim? This serial dater seems to honestly be addicted to relationships. Supposedly since his ex Ashely Greene is rumored to already be seeing Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill, he has begun "flirting" via Twitter with Pretty Little Liars star Ashley B. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, not like it's going to take awhile before Joe Jonas jumps into another relationship!
