Top 50 Richest Celebrities, Which Actress is Richer Than Oprah?
17 May 2013 4:08 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Which American actress is richer than Oprah? According to a new list, "Seinfeld" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is worth a whopping $3 billion, beating Oprah by $300 million and becoming the fourth richest celebrity (singers, rappers, actors, models). Louis-Dreyfus didn't earn all that money from her work on "Seinfeld." In fact, most of it comes from her family. But that's not to say that "Seinfeld" didn't make her richer. Both Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David made the list, each being worth $800 million. What's interesting is that Keanu Reeves is worth $350 million, which is more than Will Smith ($200 million) and Bruce Springsteen ($200 million). But that's nothing comparing to the person who took first place, George Lucas, who's worth $7.3 billion, mostly thanks to the sale of "Star Wars" to Disney. Check out the top 50 list below: 1. George Lucas: $7.3 Billion 2. Dina Merrill: $5 Billion 3. Steven Spielberg: $3 Billion 4. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: $3 Billion 5. Oprah Winfrey: »
Kennedy Center May Start Honoring More Latinos
16 May 2013 2:01 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington — The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has a new process to select artists who receive one of the nation's top arts prizes, the Kennedy Center Honors, after an outside group last year said Latinos have been largely excluded.
Under the revised process, the Kennedy Center will begin seeking recommendations from the public for the first time in the award's 35-year history. Recommendations can be submitted online beginning Thursday. The center will also seek more recommendations from a committee of artists.
To narrow the roster of potential honorees, the center is forming a new Special Honors Committee. Former honorees Chita Rivera and Yo-Yo Ma will serve on the panel, along with opera singer Harolyn Blackwell, dancer Damian Woetzel and two center board members, Elaine Wynn and Cappy McGarr. From there, the Kennedy Center chairman, president and award producers will create slates of potential honorees to balance the selections across artistic disciplines, »

3 May 2013 11:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Latino history in the United States has been obscure until now. A new documentary series narrated by actor Benjamin Bratt will chronicle the history of Latinos in the United States, going back 500 years and leading up to where Latinos are today, the largest minority group in the country.
Producer Ray Telles, responsible for producing a portion of a new upcoming series on PBS called “Latino Americans“, spoke to Voxxi about the project, his contribution and the future of Latinos in America.
The Emmy award-winning producer has been behind PBS Frontline’s “Children of the Night” and “The Fight in the Fields”, a 90-minute documentary on Cesar Chavez, among other films.
Being Mexican-American himself, Telles couldn’t be more passionate about “Latino Americans”. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Telles maintains a connection to his Mexican roots. In a way, this series shows the history of his family and allows for »

Don Omar Is Big Winner
26 April 2013 6:08 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Coral Gables, Fla. — Reggaeton star Don Omar was the top winner of the Billboard Latin Music Awards, though the bigger star of the show might have been the one who wasn't there: The late Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera.
Don Omar took home 10 prizes at the annual show Thursday honoring Spanish-language songs and performers. Rivera won six prizes, including artist of the year. The California-born superstar was killed in a plane accident last year in Mexico.
The show paid homage to Rivera with a tribute that included clips from live performances and her reality television show. Her brother Juan Rivera sang his sister's song "No Llega el Olvido" accompanied by a mariachi band.
"You are my diva," Rivera's father, Pedro Rivera, said in accepting the prizes. "May God bless you, my daughter."
Rivera sold more than 15 million copies of her 12 major-label albums during her career, which was cut short in December »

Paul McCartney Joins Anti-Gun Violence Efforts
17 April 2013 10:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York -- Paul McCartney is adding his voice to Tony Bennett's campaign against gun violence.
The former Beatle recorded a voice message that's part of a text-to-call operation Wednesday for Bennett's Voices Against Violence campaign. McCartney and others are encouraging Americans to send a text, which will lead to the singer's message and connect the caller to their local Senate office after providing their zip code.
The Senate will vote Wednesday on a proposal to expand background checks, the linchpin of the effort to curb gun violence. In December, 20 children and six aides were shot and killed at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, propelling gun violence into a national issue. Families of the Newtown victims have been lobbying lawmakers.
Other celebrities supporting include Alec Baldwin, Gloria Estefan, Josh Groban and Juanes.

27 March 2013 2:21 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Kathy Griffin stopped by the "Watch What Happens: Live" clubhouse to address those rumors that she's set to replace Joy Behar on "The View." Behar announced earlier this month that she's leaving the daytime talk show at the end of the season. Since then, speculation has run rampant about who will replace her.
There is that matter of Barbara Walters banning Griffin from the show. It's something that's been done off and on for years now based on jokes and comments Griffin has made about Walters during her stand-up routines.
Griffin didn't do herself any favors in that department by doing an impression of Barbara Walters on "Wwhl." She imagined Walters waiting in the car while Griffin was on the show. "‘I really wish she would leave," Griffin said as Walters. "She’s been sitting here with the table making comments that are inappropriate and if she’s part of the table, »

10 Questions We Can Now Answer About Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience
11 March 2013 10:10 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Justin Timberlake's third album, his first in seven years, started streaming Monday night on iTunes. (First Bowie, then Timberlake — good gets lately, iTunes!) Vulture immediately initiated back-to-back-to-back spins of The 20/20 Experience, and we've gotten both versed and jazzed enough to tackle some imaginary questions from imaginary fans on both ends of the very real excitement/trepidation spectrum. Here we go. Does anything on The 20/20 Experience sound like Gloria Estefan? "Let the Groove Get In" does. Very much so. But do all the songs sound exactly like Justin Timberlake songs? The finale "Blue Ocean Floor" is unexpected and sounds ready for an indie movie.How much of this thing can I dance to? Almost all of it. Will it define your year of movement the way FutureSex/LoveSounds did for your 2006 and 2007? The ball's in your court. Get back to us. "Mirrors" and "Suit & Tie" seemed pretty busy — are any »

Can't picture anyone other than Whitney Houston singing "How Will I Know"? Well, Janet Jackson was offered the song first, reports Entertainment Tonight . Nine more songs that were originally intended for someone else: Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" was originally offered to Michael Jackson—as were a few other eventual Jt hits. "Don't Cha" (as in, "...wish your girlfriend was hot like me") is bad enough as performed by the Pussycat Dolls ... can you imagine if it had been performed by Paris Hilton? Well, it almost was. Gloria Estefan wrote "Let's Get Loud" for herself, but gave it to Jennifer »
