Brad Pitt's lady love pulls in the big bucks!
Angelina Jolie just took the #1 spot on Forbes' Hollywood's Highest Paid Actresses list, beating out younger starlets like Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart, who came in at #2 and #3 respectively.
The Oscar winner pulled in a cool $33 million between June 2012 and June 2013, which is $13 million more than her earnings last year. Interestingly enough, that figure is even more impressive considering the mother-of-six hasn't been seen on the big screen for three years.
Angie's nemesis Jennifer Aniston trailed close behind with $20 million in earnings.
Here's the full Top 10 list:
- Angelina Jolie, $33 million
- Jennifer Lawrence, $26 million
- Kristen Stewart, $22 million
- Jennifer Aniston, $20 million
- Emma Stone, $16 million
- Charlize Theron, $15 million
- Sandra Bullock, $14 million

Just a day after being charged with 39 counts of fraud, Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice appeared before Judge Cathy Waldor at the United States District Court in Newark, New Jersey, and were each released on $500,000 unsecured bail bonds. The couple have also been ordered not to leave either New York or New Jersey until their August 14 hearing, and they must also surrender their passports.
On Monday, Teresa, 41, and Joe, 43, were charged in a 39-count indictment that included charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud and making false statements on loan applications. In addition, the indictment also charges Giuseppe with failure to file tax returns from 2004 through 2008 -- when he allegedly made nearly $1 million.
"Today is a most difficult day for our family. I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me," Teresa said in a statement to
Us Weekly. "I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the government as quickly as possible."
On Monday, Teresa's attorney, Henry Klingeman, said in a statement, "Teresa will plead 'not guilty.' The judicial process that begins today with an indictment is a search for the truth. As it moves forward, we look forward to vindicating her."
Bank fraud carries up to 30 years in prison, while conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. If convicted, Teresa could face up to 50 years behind bars. Joe faces an additional 10 years in prison for allegedly using his brother's ID in 2010 to get a fake driver's license.

This is basically a repeat of what happened in Sweden
back in April, so are we
really that surprised?
U.S. border agents say they found marijuana on one of Justin Bieber's tour buses as it crossed into Detroit, Michigan from Windsor, Canada on Sunday. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ken Hammond confirms that the bus was stopped as it attempted to enter the U.S. on the Ambassador Bridge.
Biebs was not on the bus at the time of the raid, and Hammond says a police dog indicated the presence of drugs. After authorities entered the vehicle, a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found. The bus driver was cited and the bus and its passengers were allowed to go.
Wonder if Biebs is ever gonna get busted?

The director's cut of Miley Cyrus' music video "We Can't Stop" has been released, and as far as we can tell it's not that different, but there is more twerking and a brief cameo from her adorable dog Floyd.
In other news, Miley has voiced her opinion about marijuana yet again, saying she prefers smoking pot to drinking, because alcohol makes her queasy and nasty. The former Hannah Montana starlet told Australia's Style magazine, “When I smoke, I don’t get the sick feeling I get when I drink, or that anger rising up ... There’s a reason Bob Marley was like some kind of musical Rasta Mother Teresa!â€
In a new interview with the BBC, Miley added that she now feels "free" to make decisions for herself, but she isn't apologizing for the way she lives her life. "You know, I have the mouth of a sailor. I keep it nice for TV but I don't think that makes someone a good or a bad person," she said. "The way you treat people is what makes a good person and everyone's equal."
What she said! And what's wrong with a little bit of rump shaking anyway?

Well, by a few days at least!
Lindsay Lohan was slated to leave rehab on Wednesday, but according to
TMZ the starlet has decided to stay another 3-4 days because "she feels she needs a transition period before re-entering the free world." Lohan then reportedly wants to stay in a "lower level, sober living house," and a source close to Lilo added, "It's like invasion of the body snatchers. She's a different person."
Lindsay is still planning on moving to New York City after rehab, and she doesn't have any movie roles lined up after that, but she will tape an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey next month, which will air shortly thereafter.
The Canyons will be
released on Friday, and later in 2014 the Oprah Winfrey network will air an 8-part documentary series on the starlet, for which she was reportedly paid
$2 million.

On Monday afternoon Justin Theroux was snapped putting his license plates back on his Ducati motorcycle with velcro ... was he trying to pull a fast one on the parking police? The Range Rover near his ride had several tickets, so we have to wonder.
Justin has been spotted out with Jennifer Aniston just about every time she's taken a break from shooting
Squirrels to the Nuts but he hasn't been doing much workwise since hooking up with her on the set of
Wanderlust. Apparently he'll be writing the screenplay for
Zoolander 2 and also directing the film, and later this year he'll also be starring in the TV movie
The Leftovers with Liv Tyler and ... no other names we really recognize.

Holy cleavage Batman!
Paula Patton was among the famous faces who hit the New York City premiere of
Two Guns on Monday night, but she was definitely the one everyone was talking about! Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg may be the main dudes in the movie, but they certainly don't garner this much attention on the red carpet ... hats off to Robin Thicke's lady love!
And speaking of Robin, yesterday he chatted with Howard Stern and revealed that his wife is a "naughty girl." Robin told Howard, “Gradually, over our marriage, I’ve turned her into a bad girl.†When Howard asked what he meant by “bad girl,†Robin said, “Just meaning she’s naughty sexually … I won’t get into too many details.†But Howard wouldn't drop the subject, and he asked Robin, “Do you spank her? Have you ever tied her up?†Robin's reply? “We’ve done just about everything, yeah," he said. "She likes it all.â€
Um, we have to wonder how she feels about that!

On Monday afternoon a casually dressed Kristen Stewart took a break from filming
Camp X-Ray and grabbed a bite to eat in Long Beach, and look who she brought as her date!
We're not sure if the pooch belongs to a friend or if K. Stew recently adopted him/her, but the pup absolutely adorable! We're just wondering if there's any chance he/she belongs to K. Stew's mom Jules Mann-Stewart, who has several wolf-dog hybrids. I mean, now that Rob Pattinson is out of the picture, why not look for a new companion?
K. Stew's mom made the news earlier this spring when she filed a restraining order against a neighbor for harassment. Apparently the neighbor had lodged a series of complaints that Mann-Stewart illegally kept wolves on her property, but it turns out the pooches were wolf mixes and there was no cause for alarm.
"The honest truth about the animals is, years ago I rescued a few wolf-hybrids, and they live on a large open piece of property filled with trees," Mann-Stewart told
Us Weekly at the time. "They're loyal, they're big, they're completely socialized, they're licensed, they're legal for me to have them, and I love them!"
