barbie's a billionaire
no, really, she is. barbie was the top earning celebrity for the 2008 fiscal year. no joke. barbie. the little plastic doll who's been whoring it out for 50 years now brought in $3.3 billion through mattel.  i guess we can say that barbie's aged pretty well. what about the real celebs? parade magazine reveals that jen aniston raked in nearly $30 million due to her surprise hit marley and me. i wonder if that includes how much jennifer makes off residual checks for friends reruns and dvd sales? some surprises on the list are britney spears and beyonce knowles.  britney only brought in $2.25 million (i would expect more) and beyonce brought in $80 million.  that's why she and jay-z were named the richest couple in hollywood by forbes last year.  taylor swift is well on her way to becoming the number one country crooner earner with $5.5 million in last year - the girl is only 19! makes me feel like i've done nothing...oh well. the biggest surprise from parade's survey is that celebrities, on average, earn about 115 times more than the average joe in america. pretty sad, right? guess that's the drive to become successful.  to find out more check out parade here

want to know how the hills season 5 ends?
if you want to keep the fake mystery alive, then do not read past this point. i repeat, do not read past this point. apparently a real, legitimate, non-fake staged mexican wedding between heidi montag and spencer pratt will go down two weeks from saturday (april 25th) and serve as the main story line which will bring the season to a close. the ceremony will take place at sunset with the hollywood hills as the backdrop at an undisclosed location. currently, there are 110 confirmed guests, but production is looking to add more. will lauren be in attendance? i'm sure if they throw enough money at her, she'll show up! heidi had her final fitting for the dress today at monique lhuillier's hollywood boutique. while reps for the couple and show won't comment on the situation, several of the 110 guests have been leaking the news to various outlets. i wonder if this was planned or is the real evolution of the relationship. my vote goes to stage - next week's teaser trailer showed spencer calling lauren to apologize about everything he's done the past couple of years.  while i don't want to see this take place, i really want to see what happens! what about you? btdubs, that pic is not the actual dress. it's an old paparazzi shot from a hills taping last season. 

hot mess update
my favorite hot mess, lindsay lohan, is getting back to her roots. literally. the former child star headed to the salon yesterday afternoon to get some much needed hair therapy and, surprisingly, returned to the color that made her famous: red. yes, lilo's a ginger again! lindsay said the recent breakup with saman was to focus on herself and i guess that means focusing on the crazy hair she'd been sporting: grungy on the top, platinum on the bottom, and obvious extensions. she kept the extension length, but at least it looks brushed and not so "hi i'm ratty old weave hair"-ish. lohan continued the makeover treatment with a new tattoo on her wrist. no word on what the tat's of, but her sister ali was in attendance. the problem with this? la lohan got the new body ink at 3 am. is that a normal time for a 15 year old high schooler to be up on a school night? yeah, didn't think so. dina lohan's not doing anything to improve her parenting rep. i'm just glad lindsay's on the way back to her old self. next stop: meal girls 2
