The Dishing Diva

New mum Gisele Bundchen has been named as the world’s top-earning model for the second year in a row.

The 29-year-old, who was born in Brazil, gave birth to her first child, son Benjamin, in December last year and her modelling career doesn’t seem to have been affected.

She has reportedly brought in £17 million making her the top-earning model in the world again this year ahead of Heidi Klum, 36, who only made a reported £11 million.

Steve Bertoni, from Forbes, said: “These contracts were written during the doldrums of the recession. So when companies decided on the faces of their campaigns, they wanted to play it safe.”

Happy Easter!

Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus went out for lunch together and unfortunately for Nick… got into a little fender bender accident on the way out. How embarrassing for him. It’s bad enough getting into an accident, worse to have it caught on tape. Watch the dude at the end. He seems serious!

The pap was parked too close to the street corner, and Nick should have stopped to leave his info.
.
Seems as if they set up a scenario that could cause an accident and no one even shouted out to the guy that he was going to hit the other car. Waiting for the accident to happen so they can sell their photos.
.
The paps lose street cred for that… not that they had any to begin with!

The buzzing is that Jessica Simpson’s record label has dropped her, since her name is noticeably absent from the rosters of Columbia Nashville and Sony Music Nashville. OK! Magazine has apparently done some investigating and they are now reporting they called the receptionist at Jessica’s label who told them she has “come off the label.”

I remember reading when her country album first came out that it hit #1 on the charts! I was surprised and happy for her. So what the eff is going on? #1 on the charts to getting dropped from the label?

No official statements have been released… yet.

She is earning an income from her shoe, clothing, accessories, etc lines though!

Zac Efron is seen here posing with his Breakthrough Performer of the Year Award — at the ShoWest awards ceremony at the Paris Las Vegas on Thursday (April 2) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Congrats Zac.

While at the event, he explained to EW why he turned down the role of Ren McCormack in Footloose saying:

“I’m sure Footloose would have been a huge challenge but the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That’s what’s always going to appeal to me: the unknown.”

Here’s a great little clip of Zac when he made a guest appearance on Ellen Degeneres’s show about emulating her hairstyle:

Fergie is seen here wearing her own shoe design as she launches her two fashion shoe lines at Nordstroms at The Grove on Saturday (March 21) in Los Angeles.

“The Fergie brand consumer admires ‘Fergie the Fashionista’ and wants trend-right shoes that move easily from day to evening. The woman who wears Fergalicious by Fergie relates to ‘Fergie the Pop Culture Icon,’ and seeks shoes with an edgy look,” said Brown Shoe Wholesale President Gary Rich.

Fergie was quoted saying:

“After months of working with the designers and watching ideas and sketches come to life, it’s time for the fun part – wearing the shoes! Both lines capture the essence of my style, and I’m looking forward to the reactions as women begin seeing the shoes on the shelves and deciding which ones to add to their closets. I know I have quite a few pairs in mine!”

Rihanna’s car was pulled over early Thursday morning in Hollywood after leaving the nightclub, Les Deux!

After being swarmed by paparazzi, the vehicle she was riding in was stopped by police for missing a front license plate and window tinting.

Rihanna has been out and about a lot lately trying to be seen without Chris Brown even though they reconciled and were together both in Miami and L.A. AFTER he was charged with assaulting her. A source says Rihanna, and Chris are now spending time apart:

“They are taking some time off; they haven’t broken up but they are taking a break.”

Everyone knows she took him back, she’s just waiting for the right time to go public … thing is… how long will she keep her distance from him? Going out with her girlfriends and hanging out in VIP booths isn’t fooling any of us.

Kelly’s 4th album, All I Ever Wanted has had an impressive debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with 254,111 albums sold and #1 on the Digital Album Chart. This marks Kelly’s first #1 album since her debut in 2002.

That’s just a wee bit behind Clarkson’s last album, the troubled My December. It moved 291,000 in its first week back in June 2007. Her hit single “My Life Would Suck Without You,” makes her poised for a solid comeback.

Also debuting on the charts is the second album from songwriter/producer The-Dream, Love Vs. Money, which hit the #2 spot and racked up 151,000 in sales, beating out U2’s No Line on the Horizon.

In these tough economic times, it’s an encouragement for the music industry as the totals for the top three represent the first time this year that a trio of discs in the top 10 has passed the 100K-plus mark!

It’s just been a little over a week since MJ made an unmasked appearance in London to announce his new tour, yet here he is again wearing a surgical mask on his way into a Beverly Hills medical center.

He’s been wearing surgical masks for years and still has us ALL fascinated. That’s why he’s still one of the biggest money-makers out there even with the negativity that surrounds him.

Michael is scheduled to perform 36 concerts starting in July. The 100.000 tickets sold out this morning, in just 2 hours. It’s amazing how he still rocks at 50 but will he have the physical strength to perform?

Here is Britney poolside at the Mandarin Oriental pool getting a pedicure. She is currently in the midst of her Circus tour but has a few days off relaxing with her children, visiting sick kids in the hospital, and going shopping at the Spanish Mediterranean-styled mall, Merrick Park in Coral Gables.

“Britney looked so fresh and was so nice,” a source at high-end shoe store, Jimmy Choo told PEOPLE:

“She bought shoes, sunglasses and bags and thoroughly enjoyed the shopping experience.”

Another mall retailer said: “Britney looked really relaxed and happy.”

Her tour resumes again tonight where she’ll be performing at Nassau Coliseum in New York before doing two nights in Newark, N.J.

This does NOT surprise me.

Despite the stink of the scandal surrounding Chris Brown, his “career” does not seem to have been affected by his alleged beat down of Rihanna.

According to Soundscan, sales of Brown’s latest album, Exclusive, have remained steady in the weeks both before and after his assault on her.

The album has been selling approximately 3,000 copies a week in the U.S. since late January.

Disturbing isn’t it?

TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown may try to strike a plea, but only to a misdemeanor and with no jail time.

They are saying his attorneys have consulted law school professors who say Rihanna’s own aggressiveness removes it from the felony category.

“Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman. And Rihanna was fighting Brown as he punched and hurt her. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops. As a result, they say, this is not a case that demands a felony plea.”
