Miley’s Millions

April 11th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

To anyone whose last name isn’t Trump, $18.2 million is an unimaginable amount of money to earn in one year. And yet, according to the latest edition of Parade magazine’s annual "What People Earn" issue, that’s precisely what teen sensation Miley Cyrus pulled down — and she’s nowhere near the top of the list. In fact, many celebs on this year’s list earn several times what the Hannah Montana star brings home.

For example, Parade reports that underwear model and quarterback arm candy Gisele Bündchen apparently earns $33 million for looking good in skimpy clothes, the same amount of cash brought home by rapper 50 Cent.

And then there’s TV headshrinker Dr. Phil McGraw, who makes almost five times what Miley does, with an annual income around $90 million. Of course, he’s small change compared to the likes of mega-hit director Steven Spielberg ($110 million), golf superstar Tiger Woods ($115 million) and the queen of celebrity cash, Oprah Winfrey, who takes in a reported $260 million — more than twice as much as any of the other 17 celebrities on the list!

Meanwhile, there are those stars who are still working their way up to Hannah Montana millions. Scarlett Johansson may make a lot of movies, but she only made $5 million. Sexy mom-to-be Jessica Alba earns about half of Miley’s take, pulling in $9 million. And Katherine Heigl, who had a bang-up year with the double shot of Grey’s Anatomy and Knocked Up, is on the rise with $11 million.

Of course, these celebs should have absolutely no reason to complain. The combined total of the 18 celebrities on Parade’s list was 100 times more money than the total of the 112 normal, hard-working Americans on the list!

Entertainment Tonight is reporting officers are currently moving cars in an effort to control the media coverage that has been swelling ever since Britney returned home from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier today (CLICK HERE for full story).

Britney’s Release Has Kevin “Freaked Out”

January 5th, 2008

Despite winning full custody of his two sons on Friday, Britney Spears‘ ex-husband Kevin Federline is livid about Brit’s surprising release after only 36 hours of psychiatric evaluation. And, a source close to K-Fed reveals exclusively to OK!, that’s caused him to beef up security.

“Kevin is so worried that Britney will rush his house and try to grab the boys, just like she tried to do last February," explains the source, who tells OK! that K-Fed has doubled security at his Tarzana, Calif., home.

"The boys are safe for now," the source reveals to OK!. "But Kevin feels Britney is clearly deranged, and there’s no telling what she’ll do. After all, this is a woman who two days ago barricaded herself in her bedroom with her youngest child for three hours!" Adds the insider, "You can’t get mentally well in a hospital after 36 hours."

The source recalls an encounter from February 2007, following Britney’s multiple failed trips to rehab and her public head shaving: “She was so scared of losing custody of the boys that she drove to Kevin’s house three times and tried to wrestle her way inside to get her sons," the source tells OK!. "When Kevin refused each time, she took out her frustration on a photographer’s car by banging it up with her umbrella. There’s no evidence that Britney’s any saner than she was that day. In fact, she appears far worse.”

January 5th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

Britney Spears may have left the hospital under police escort this morning (CLICK HERE for complete story), but it looks like the pop star will — at least for the moment — not be going anywhere.

OK! has confirmed the pop star attempted to leave her gated community, The Summit, just after noon on Saturday, but she got only as far as The Summit’s gate, where she discovered a swarm of paparazzi waiting for her outside and flipped a U-turn.

Lil sis’ Jamie Lynn Spears, who recently revealed her pregnancy exclusively to OK!, was also at the house this morning with Britney, but has since split.

More details to come!

Dr. Phil Speaks Out on Britney Rumors

January 5th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

Could Dr. Phil have played a part in Britney Spears‘ early release (CLICK HERE for the full story) from the hospital? OK! has learned that the tough-love talk show shrink visited the pop star early this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which reportedly prompted Brit to begin screaming and demanding that she be released.

However, in a statement just released to Entertainment Tonight by Dr. Phil, he has a different version of this morning’s events.

"My meeting with Britney and some family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention," Dr. Phil explains in the statement. "She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her."

Dr. Phil’s surprise visit may have something to do with an upcoming special episode of The Dr. Phil Show on the topic of Britney and her family. Rumors are flying that Britney may now make an appearance on the show, which is set to tape Monday and air Wednesday.

Stay tuned to OK! for more details.
