Beyonce Named a Top-Earning Celebrity in 2010

Beyonce Named a Top-Earning Celebrity in 2010: "

Filed under: ,





Someone you might not expect on Forbes' list of Top-Earning Celebrities in 2010 is Judge Judy, who rounded out the top 20. But, Judy's $45 million income is only half of what Beyonce earned in 2010. The 'Halo' singer came in at No. 9 after earning $87 million.



Beyonce was the only music industry professional to crack the list's top 10. Oprah Winfrey, who is in the final season of her daytime talk show after 25 seasons and 4,400 episodes, earned the No.1 spot with a 2010 income of $315 million. Apart from golf pro Tiger Woods, who earned $105 million and the No. 5 spot, the rest of the top 10 was made up of Hollywood directors that included James Cameron, Tyler Perry, Michael Bay, Jerry Bruckheimer, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas."

ComScore: Facebook overtakes Yahoo, is now the third most trafficked website in the world

ComScore: Facebook overtakes Yahoo, is now the third most trafficked website in the world: "


ComScore -- a common metric used to measure internet traffic -- is showing off some impressive stats these days. In the month of November, for instance, Facebook overtook Yahoo! for the first time in worldwide traffic, with the social network nabbing 648 million unique visitors while the portal named after Gulliver's Travels pulled in 630 million. What does this mean to? Well, to point out the obvious, it seems that while Facebook continues its epic growth, the relatively flat state of Yahoo!'s traffic is simply not enough to retain its third place spot behind Google and Microsoft's sites, which grab up places one and two consistently. One note about these ComScore statistics, just in case you're wondering about that last one: it 'groups' sites together rather than counting individual URLS, so for instance, the Microsoft sites take the number two spot en masse. In terms of U.S. traffic, Facebook still trails Yahoo! a bit, with 152 million visitors and 181 million, respectively, so if they're truly hoping for world domination, they have their work cut out for them. We're looking at you, Mark!

Keyshia Cole Talks New Album, Working With Nicki Minaj

Keyshia Cole Talks New Album, Working With Nicki Minaj: "

Filed under: , ,





It's been two years since Keyshia Cole has had an album out, and not only has her music changed, but her life has gone in a whole new direction. Since taking time away from the spotlight Cole, 29, got engaged to NBA basketball player, Daniel 'Boobie' Gibson, and gave birth to the couple's first child, Daniel Gibson, Jr., in March of this year. Now refreshed and ready to get back into the swing of things, the Oakland, Calif. native revealed that her new love and motherhood are the best things that life has to offer. 'It's great, it brings a whole new inspiration to life,' Cole told The BoomBox of motherhood. 'I don't even know what I would do without that love.'



With the new album, 'Calling All Hearts,' hitting stores Dec. 21, Cole wasn't just inspired by her current relationship, but also the changes that she has gone through while out of the public eye. Since her 2005 debut the singer has consistently released a new album every two years, and although her latest effort comes right on time, the obvious life change is what she believes made fans feel that she had been away for an extended period. These days, her biggest pillar of strength is her relationship with Gibson. Cole began dating the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, five years her junior, in 2009. 'I think that anytime that you have someone that totally supports you no matter what, and shows you that they love you when no one else is going to be there is totally just outstanding.'"

Lil Jon Added to Season Four of 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Lil Jon Added to Season Four of 'Celebrity Apprentice': "

Filed under: , ,





Forget getting crunked -- Lil Jon is about to get Trump-ed. The Atlanta emcee has just signed on as one of the contestants for the upcoming fourth season of Donald Trump's 'Celebrity Apprentice,' appearing alongside fellow competitors Richard Hatch (of 'Survivor'), baseball player Jose Canseco and model Niki Taylor.



Lil Jon will test his business acumen for the opportunity to win a $250,000 contract as well as the chance to run one of Trump's companies. His previous business affairs have included launching his own energy drink CRUNK!!! in 2002, a line of Oakley sunglasses in 2004 and Little Jonathan Winery, which produced Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay."

Russell Simmons Embattled in New York Governor's Race

Russell Simmons Embattled in New York Governor's Race: "

Filed under: ,





The campaign for governor in the state of New York turned progressively ugly over the weekend. Republican candidate Carl Paladino, visiting rabbis in Brooklyn, made a series of anti-gay slurs, claiming that children are 'brainwashed' into a homosexuality. As he attempts to clarify and backtrack, his campaign doesn't seem to worried because they have proof that challenger and Democrat nominee Andrew Cuomo is anti-Semitic as well. Paladino's big bombshell is that Cuomo is friends with Russell Simmons and once took a trip to Palestine.



In a binder of anti-Cuomo literature that was obtained by the New York Post, Paladino's campaign highlights Simmons' apparent ties to Nation of Islam-leader Louis Farrakhan as proof of prejudice towards Jewish people. This claim goes against Simmons' entire reputation. He's actually been an activist against anti-Semitism, a renowned Buddhist and peacenik for nearly his entire career.



'Cuomo names Russell Simmons, a supporter of anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, a 'senior black advisor' to his campaign,' the document says. It goes on to craft an attack that because the super-successful hip-hop entrepreneur hosted Farrakhan and his sons at his home in lower Manhattan last year, he must somehow be prejudiced."

Nicki Minaj Sets Billboard Record With 4M in Sales

Nicki Minaj Sets Billboard Record With 4M in Sales: "

Filed under: ,





Nicki Minaj made an undeniable splash on the Billboard charts this year, becoming the first female to top the Rap Songs list with her hit 'Your Love' since Missy Elliott held the same position in November 2002. But that was only the tip of the iceberg for the Young Money raptress breaking records on the Billboard charts.



According to the numbers, Nicki has become the first female rapper to have the most entries lodged on the Billboard Hot 100, with seven entries listed on Nielsen Soundscan's 200 best-selling songs of 2010. The Harajuku Barbie has sold a total of 4,298,000 in sales, including her own solo records as well as joints on which she's been featured."

Lost in translation: HDMI adapter for iPhone 4 and iPad

Lost in translation: HDMI adapter for iPhone 4 and iPad: "

Today seems to be a day for news from China, the birthplace of most Apple hardware. This little tidbit of info comes courtesy of Noosy, AKA Shenzhen North Technology Co., Ltd.



The company has developed an HDMI adapter for the iPhone 4, fourth-generation iPod touch, and iPad, so you can now pop the little adapter onto your iDevice and blast video from apps that support video-out to your HDTV.



Details on the adapter are sketchy; the page for the device appears to have been run through Google Translate, with the predictable result of some unintentionally humorous gaffes. There's no price, but at least we can be assured that it supports 720p output, is "easily plus&play," and can display "the MTV."



Unfortunately, there is no pricing information and no clear sign of when this may make it to worldwide distribution. We'll keep an eye open and see what happens, as we too would like to 'have so fabulous screen to instead of the 10' iPad screen.' As they say, 'you never see a HDMI adapter can be elegant like this!!'

Mick Vicks Gets The Start For Week 3


One day after calling his quarterback quandary "a beautiful situation," Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid made a surprising reversal: Michael Vick, not Kevin Kolb, will be the starting quarterback, the team announced Tuesday.
Fantasy take
Eagles coach Andy Reid not only made the right decision Tuesday, but he did fantasy enthusiasts a solid by moving to Michael Vick before wire claims. More ...
Reid, who said Monday that Kolb was the starter, was scheduled to explain his reason for the switch during a 6:30 p.m. ET Tuesday conference call with reporters. However, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi that the decision to go with Vick wasn't related to Kolb's health. Kolb has missed the last six quarters because of a concussion.
Lombardi reported that Kolb is cleared to play, but Vick has performed too well. Vick's second start will come Sunday on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Vick threw for 175 yards and one touchdown and ran for 103 yards in relief of Kolb during a 27-20 season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers. Vick had 284 passing yards and two TDs in his first start, a 35-32 victory at Detroit on Sunday.
Kolb started two games in his first three seasons before he became the Eagles' No. 1 quarterback after Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. Kolb struggled in the first half against Green Bay.
The Associated Press & NFL.com contributed to this report.

AT&T to deliver LTE in mid-2011, LTE iPhone maybe?

AT&T to deliver LTE in mid-2011, LTE iPhone maybe?: "
AT&T to deliver LTE in mid-2011, LTE iPhone maybe?

A bit late to the party, but at least not the last, AT&T have announced that they will be rolling out 4G LTE coverage beginning mid-2011. With Sprint currently being the only carrier to offer 4G (WiMax, not LTE) in the United States, AT&T has finally caught caught on and isn't planning to let them monopolize the 4G wireless market. The first city to get AT&T 4G will be Dallas, Texas. And from there they will spread out and hope to cover 70-75 million by the end of 2011. Looks like the 4G business is starting to get serious.


As you probably know by now, "mid-year" is usually when a new iPhone gets released, so it won't take much to speculate that a new LTE-powered iPhone might just appear by then. LTE might just be part of the AT&T's solution to its clogged network. By switching new iPhone users to LTE, AT&T would make their experience that much better while the network still has a surplus capacity. For Apple, it's an obvious phone evolution that's an easy sell.

iWallet - Keep Strange Hands Off of Your Cash





Was your wallet ever stolen? Do your children or someone in your household steal money from your wallet while it is unattended? Do you want to conceal your personal information and hard cash in a wallet that only YOU can open and have access to? If you answered YES to any or all of these questions, then you need the iWallet!

BYOC (Bring Your Own Container)


Coming soon to American grocery stores are fill-your-own wine machines. The machines carry anywhere between 500- 1,000 liters each and all you do is supply the container. By reducing the amount of packaging needed to contain and transport wine, there's a substantial savings that's able to be passed along to the consumer. Plus, it means you can take your adult beverage home in a container that actually fits in your fridge, in the amount you want!

The machines contain red, white and rose wines and should run around $2/liter. They work the same way a self-service gas pump does, just swipe your card at the machine, fill your container and it prints you a receipt. It's as easy as that!

We like the idea of being able to fill up any size container, big or small for a party or just a night at home. You could take home just enough for two glasses for dinner or enough for a whole crowd, the choice is yours! Plus, when all is said and done, there's no extra trash piling up in your garbage or need for additional recycling measures.

Diddy Is Taking Over Vibe??!! (PHOTOS): " Posted by: Mimi

Diddy is covering the August/September of Vibe. He is not only the guest editor for the online mag but the feature artist along with his bad boy family. It is a fold out cover which also includes Cassie, Red Cafe, and the rest of the Dirty Money crew.


During his interview Diddy answered some hot topics everyone has been buzzing about.


Q:Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
A:When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.



Click next for the full cover!


::PAGE::


Q:Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel?
A:It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits. It was like looking in the mirror. He would ask questions like, “How you feel about this?” People don’t really understand true producers want to know how you feel about things. We are some of the most observant people on the planet.



::PAGE::


Q:What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
A:There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.
