Will.i.Am Has His Own Car Company, Ladies And Gents!


WHEW! If this isn't the perfect display of "STUNTIN'", I don't know what is!

While most celebs have infiltrated the liquor, perfume, book, clothing businesses, Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.Am has taken a different approach with his own car company named IAMAUTO. And here is the first car, Dancers.

Listen. I'm a girl. Not really interested in cars like that, but from the projects (YES, he is from the 'jects) to THIS?!?!? *clap for him*

Paris Hilton Claims She Is The BILLION Dollar Gal, Yall....


Billion? No. For Realz....1 BILLION? Are you aware of how much that is exactly? I guess.....
"I'm involved in my products every step of the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment. They've produced more than $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005. I have 35 stores and 17 product lines. And then there's my racing team, my 14 fragrances and my new project, the Paris Hilton Beach Club chain. The first one is opening in the Philippines soon. It's going to have nightclubs, restaurants, bars, gyms. Everything really. I have a huge passion for house music. I just haven't been able to focus on it, because I have been doing reality TV for so long now. I've been working on the album with lots of other top DJs for a while now and I think people will be really surprised. It's very modern and very catchy; perfect party music."
Paris, my dear. Enough with the dramatics. If you wanted Kim Kardashian to know what you have going on, just pick up the phone and call her. 

This is the biggest example of, "HEEEEY. LOOK AT ME, KIM....I HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU."

PS - I need a sex tape.

Can You And Your New Born Baby Afford Chloe Tights?


The land of luxury....I know NOTHING about this life!

Fashionista Victoria Beckham is creating another little style icon, I see! Her baby girl Harper had all eyes on her and those chubby cheeks as she sported a pair of designer Chloé tights (costing approximately $45 US Dollars....for a little baby?!?!?!?) as they made their way through LAX airport. 

I want a Life DO-OVER! Perhaps I can come back as Harper Beckham or Brooklyn Carter (YES, I'm claiming that this will be Jay-Z and Beyonce daughter's name....YEP!).

Bethenny Frankel Sold "Skinnygirl" For Significantly Less That The Reported $120 Million


My gal Bethenny Frankel has been under severe media scrutiny as of late! First, she was accused of drumming up a plan to become lost at sea while taping her hit reality TV show (according to her, she was actually lost at sea during a trip with her husband Jason Hoppy for a few hours). And now it has been revealed that the "Skinnygirl" honcho actually sold her burgeoning enterprise for significantly less, as opposed to what was originally reported - that she netted a whopping $120 million. 

According to financial records posted on the Fortune Brands website, Bethenny sold her line of low calorie alcoholic beverages for just $8.1 million. 

WAIT. Wasn't Forbes the one who actually FEATURED Bethenny on their cover which lead folks to believe she made/sold "Skinnygirl" for $120 Million?!?!?!? I'm confused....

Although Bethenny never confirmed or denied "Skinnygirl" selling for that particular figure, the reality star has MUCH to be proud of! She has licensed deals for workout DVDs,  clothes, weight loss supplements, books, and MORE!


Nothing to laugh at, ya know! I love Bethenny.....inspiring!

Wanna See How Ellen DeGeneres And Wife Portia de Rossi Are Living???


Funny lady/talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and gorgeous wife, actress Portia de Rossi gave us an inside look into their Beverly Hills mansion via the pages of Architectural Digest.

Oh and get this...the house is on the market for a reported $49 MILLION.

*collapses*
"We never had a house when I was growing up. We always rented. But my father would dream, and we used to look at houses all the time. I'd pick out which bedroom would be mine and get all excited. The first thing I did when I made money was buy a house. And then..." Portia added, “Another one... And another one and another one and another one."
That has to be a GREAT feeling!

So Dancers...wanna know what a $49 MILLION house looks like? Get into it under the break....

$1 Million!!! YEP....you read that right! And the rich keep getting richer.....

Paris and Nicky Hilton were paid $1 million to attend a Middle Eastern princess' birthday party. The showbiz siblings have recently been holidaying in the south of France, and a source has revealed the girl – who was celebrating her 16th birthday – was "ecstatic" to have the pair in attendance. An insider told X17online.com: "Paris and Nicky were flown to Cannes for a sweet 16 party for a Middle Eastern princess. "They were paid a hefty price tag of $1 million to show up for one hour. The teenage birthday girl was ecstatic to have Paris there." Socialite Paris, 30, and her designer sister Nicky have been enjoying a host of parties around the Mediterranean in recent days. She arrived on the Spanish party island of Ibiza yesterday, where she revealed she couldn't wait to "get the party started". She revealed on twitter: "Just landed in Ibiza in NickyHilton! Yes!!

Bethenny Frankel Launches Skinnygirl Sangria!


Bethenny Frankel has been a personal inspiration for me because when many people told her NO in reference to her business aspirations, she pretty much told them to "Kiss My Azz"! Can't be mad at that, eh? I'm not....

Now, on the heels of her successful Skinnygirl Margarita drink (partially selling the company for a reported $100 MILLION....WHEW!!!), she has branched off to Skinnygirl Sangria!

WERK, my dear! Strike while the iron is HOT!

The reality star turned business woman, launched her new liqueur in New York City Last night!

GET MONEY, Lady Frankel!

More flix of Bethenny under the break....

Souljah Boy Spent HOW MUCH On A Private Jet?!?!


Listen. I'm not in the business of counting people's money (I'm lying! But I digress.), but what type of bullshyt is this!?

So what does a successful "rapper" (peep the quotation marks) get himself for his 21st birthday, because CLEARLY he isn't aware that we're is in a recession?!

A $55 MILLION G5 jet!!! 

Ummmmmm, I don't know about yall, but I wasn't aware that this fool even had that much money *shrug*. And another thing. What do you need a jet for? What concerts have you booked lately that makes it necessary for you to fly here and there? Don't worry.....I'll wait.

According to TMZ, "The jet cost $35 mil ... but that's just the beginning. We're told the birthday boy is dropping an additional $20 million to pimp out his ride with all sorts of cool stuff ... like 12 custom Italian leather seats, flat screen TVs, 4 liquor bars, a special travertine tiled floor, and Brazilian hardwood cabinets. We're told S.B. is also gutting the in-flight lavatory -- and replacing it with a giant, LUXURIOUS bathroom. Oh, he's also giving the jet a custom paint job ... to include his logo.

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll regret this purchase when his azz is 30, and not one on the planet earth wants to "Superman That Hoe" anymore. Wait. No one wants to do that now.....

Angelina Jolie And Sarah Jessica Parker Are Tinseltown's Highest Paid Actresses!


I can totally see Angelina coming in at the top of the list, but Sarah Jessica Parker? WHO KNEW!

Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker are tied at the #1 spot on Forbe's list of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses! The two reportedly made an estimated $30 million.

WHEW!

Coming in third was Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who both earned $28 million, followed by Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart with $20 million.

*stares aimlessly into space* This HAS to be some sort of world record, right?
“I like the idea that a 12-year-old on this show can compete with an older singer and a singing group,” Simon said in a statement. “I’ve never believed there should be a cut-off age for talent, and we are going to put our money where our mouths are with the $5 million recording contract. I’m doing this show in America because I genuinely believe we can find a superstar.”
WOW! Only if I could sing...dah well!
