Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women

The ten ladies who top our list of Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women earned a total $739 million between May 2010 and May 2011. To compile our list of estimates we talked to agents, managers, lawyers and other folks in the know. Earning reflect income during the time period. Taxes and things like agent and manager fees were not deducted.

Oprah Winfrey:$290 million 

Winfrey beats her closest earning competitor on our list by a whopping $200 million. But with her show ending, how long will the queen of talk be able to maintain those kinds of earnings? Her cable network, OWN, has yet to take off.

 Lady Gaga:$90 million

Lady Gaga topped our Celebrity 100 this year (which measures money AND fame) but she earned a full $200 million less than Oprah. Gaga will have to stay relevant if she's going to continue to rank at the top of our lists.

 

Bethenny Frankel: $55 million 

The reality star banked big bucks over the past year with a savvy sale of Skinny Girl drinks to Fortune Brands. Frankel is planning to expand her brand with rumors flying about a possible talk show.

Gisele Bundchen: $45 million

The supermodel went back to work just weeks after giving birth to her first son with husband Tom Brady. In addition to her modeling fees, Bundchen earns big from endorsement deals and Gisele for Ipanema.

Ellen DeGeneres:$45 million
DeGeneres is more than just a talk show host. She owns part of a pet food company called Halo and she recently started her own record label, Eleveneleven.

Judge Judy Sheindlin:$45 million

Judge Judy may be more under-the-radar than Oprah Winfrey but her daytime show used to regularly beat the queen of talk in ratings. With Winfrey gone, look for Sheindlin's to be the syndicated show to beat.

Taylor Swift:$45 million
Swift may only be 21 but she's a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Her latest album, Speak Now, sold five million copies globally.

Katy Perry:$44 million
Perry's second studio album, Teenage Dream, has had four singles hit the Billboard No. 1 spot so far but Perry isn't just earning from her music. She voiced Smurfette in the recent Smurfs movie and she has a best-selling perfume.

Beyonce Knowles:$35 million
The 30-year-old singer just announced that she is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z. Her latest album 4, sold 310,000 copies in its first week.

Was Katy Perry too sexy for Sesame Street?

Show pulls Hot and Cold duet with Elmo has said “Sesame Street”.

Katy Perry’s look on the iconic children’s TV show after parents apparently complained the star's outfit exposed a bit too much of her cleavage.

The 25-year-old singer stopped by “Sesame Street” to make a kid-friendly music video of "Hot N Cold" with Elmo, which made rounds on the Web earlier this week. The song itself was cleaned up for kids, but it seems that to some parents, her clothing wasn’t. According to TMZ, Sesame Workshop received complaints like, "You can practically see her [expletive]," and "they're goanna have to rename it cleavage street."

Katy Perry acquires viciously Slimed at Kids' Choice Awards

Shenanigans were galore at the 23rd annual Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, anywhere blimp-shaped awards were doled out to fan-favorites and stars were regularly slimed.

Katy Perry, trying a brilliant blue wig and close-fitting florid dress, was upside-down pesky with slime when presenting the favorite movie performer trophy to Miley Cyrus (who beat out Sandra Bullock for the honor). The force of the glop caused her to fall backwards, then she chased the 'Hannah Montana' actress around the stage, but co-presenter Jonah Hill grabbed Perry before she could hold the 17-year-old singer-actress with a slimy enfold.
