U2 is at the top of Billboard’s musician money charts, reports CBC. The band earned $108.9 million in 2009.
The Irish rockers were also the top touring act of the year, selling 1.3 million tickets for the 20 shows on their 360 Degree world tour. The tour – still ongoing – is the most expensive one in history.
Joe Jonas has hinted that he may be breaking away from the Jonas Brothers to pursue some solo projects, reports Perez Hilton. He said he has been writing some new music, but did not reveal if it is for the band or another project.
He has said he’s interested in doing more movies. “I’m looking forward to doing more acting. I know everybody says this, but I want to be able to do everything. I won’t be satisfied until I’m ready to do every kind of role – from a villain to a comedian.”
Sorry for any Jonas Brothers fans, but the eldest of the brothers is taken. Kevin Jonas is engaged to his girlfriend of almost two years, according to People.
On Wednesday, one third of the Jonas Brothers trio showed up to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa’s New Jersey home, got on one knee and asked her to marry him. “She said yes, yes, yes, like 500 times super fast in a row,” he told People.
The pair met in 2007 while their families were on a Bahamas vacation. At the time Deleasa, a former hairdresser, admits she didn’t even know who the Jonas Brothers were.
“It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” Kevin said to the magazine. He arrived from an overnight flight to ask her to marry him.

Concerns over the A(H1N1) flu, also known as the swine flu, have forced the Jonas Brothers to push back their concerts this week at Arena Monterrey in Mexico.
The pop trio’s shows are being postponed “due to health precautions in the whole country as a consequence of the outbreak of the A(H1N1) flu,” read a statement on the venue’s ticketing website.
The group was scheduled to play an afternoon and an evening concert on May 17. The shows have been rescheduled for July 31, and tickets will be honoured for their original times (3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.).
Christina Applegate graces the cover of this year’s “People’s Most Beautiful” issue, but many teen idols are featured in the magazine as well.
“Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have both made People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful List. “I don’t get it. It’s funny, you look the same for years, and no one ever mentions it. Then suddenly it’s a big deal,” Pattinson tells People.
Other young stars such as “Gossip Girl’s” Taylor Momsen, brothers Nick and Joe Jonas and “17 Again” star Zac Efron have also made the list.
Efron revealed to People his secret to staying fit. “Backpacking, hiking, surfing, swimming, playing tennis — things that get you active and are also fun.”
Back in the day, the word “Disney” brought thoughts of fairy godmothers, evil stepsisters and happily ever afters into our minds. The Disney stars that most of us looked up to were Cinderella, Pocahontas and, of course, Mickey Mouse (although now I’m not sure why).
But nowadays, all that has changed. When most children and teenagers hear the word “Disney,” they tend to think of the famous actors whose careers were launched on the television network, the Disney Channel.
Due to shows like ‘Hannah Montana’ or the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘High School Musical,’ it is now virtually impossible to ignore any gossip associated with Disney’s princess Miley Cyrus or Brangelina wannabes Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.
With plenty of shame, I will admit that even I watch some of these shows on a somewhat regular basis (I fully blame my boyfriend’s younger nieces for my sudden semi-addiction to shows like ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ and ‘Sonny With a Chance’).
When it comes to life in Hollywood, it’s almost impossible to escape the spotlight. From breakups to hook-ups, to career breakthrough and downfalls—we know all about it.
And while some stars deserve the attention and fame—we can’t quite figure out why others get it. From the train wrecks to those that manage to lead somewhat normal lives, here’s a list of the top five under/over rated celebrities.
