As if she needs more money in the bank!
Beyonce has partnered with Pepsi for a whopping $50 million paycheck! The brand ambassador deal includes traditional promotional appearances and endorsements, as well as the beverage company's investment in some of the singer's creative projects. The Grammy winner has been involved with Pepsi since 2002.
The "Love On Top" singer's first project for her new gig will be a new TV spot for the brand, followed by her performance at the Super Bowl 2013 halftime show, which Pepsi is sponsoring. The advertising campaign is supposedly timed to coincide with the release of her album early next year.
As if all that wasn't cool enough, Bey's face will be featured on limited edition Pepsi cans!
"Pepsi embraces creativity and understands that artists evolve. As a businesswoman, this allows me to work with a lifestyle brand with no compromise and without sacrificing my creativity," Knowles said in a statement.
The cola brand is no stranger to celebrity partnerships! They struck a $5 million deal with Michael Jackson in 1983, which shattered the records for a celebrity endorsement deal at the time.
This bootylicious babe is running the world these days!

Lindsay Lohan has a court date on Wednesday regarding her accident on the PCH last June, but it seems like her top priority at the moment is chasing after British boy band The Wanted!
Last week Lilo was spotted at Avenue, the New York City hotspot where she was arrested last month for allegedly assaulting a woman, and after following the band (and her rumored beau Max George) to Boston and Philadelphia, she apparently jetted off to London for the next leg of their tour.
This morning the 26-year-old starlet tweeted, "I heart the UK," and on Saturday she posted a shot of Max's sweatshirt and wrote, "Missing something?" Ah, so subtle. But is there really anything going on between Lilo and the 24-year-old singer? He's denied reports that the two are an item, so either he's lying or Lilo really is their number one groupie!
While Lindsay is living out her fantasies in London, her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley will be appearing on her behalf at tomorrow's hearing, which is set for 8:30am. Since the charges against Lindsay are all misdemeanors, she's not required to appear in court, but there could be serious repercussions for her actions this past summer. Lilo is facing counts of willingly resisting, obstructing, or delaying an officer in the course of their duties, as well as allegedly providing false information to an officer; and one count of reckless driving after crashing her Porsche Panamera on June 8.

Hugh Jackman is a world famous action star, but that doesn't mean he's too macho to shed a tear!
In an emotional new 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday Dec. 9, the Les Miserables star opens up about his mother abandoning him when he was 8-years-old, leaving him without a maternal figure in his life.
"I can remember the morning she left, it's weird the things you pick up. I remember her being in a towel around her head and saying goodbye, must have been the way she said goodbye. As I went off to school, when I came back, there was no one there in the house. The next day there was a telegram from England, Mom was there. And then that was it. I don't think she thought for a second it would be forever. I think she thought it was, 'I just need to get away, and I'll come back.' Dad used to pray every night that Mom would come back," he divulged.
The Wolverine actor's mother relocated to England and never returned, leaving his father, Chris, responsible for raising him and his four other siblings.
"My father is a rock. My father is my rock. It's where I learned everything about loyalty, dependability, being there day in, day out, no matter what," he added.
Now father to his own two children, the happily married Aussie hunk maintains he has his priorities straight when it comes to balancing work and family, explaining, "It's always about the family. It's not about work."

Anne Hathaway made an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman last night, and not only did she open up about her top secret wedding to Adam Shulman, but she also chatted with Dave about her astonishing 25-pound weight loss for her role in Les Miserables.
“Oh you don't want to know. It would just make you worry,†she joked when Dave asked her how she shed the weight. "It wasn't so that Fantine would look hot ... she dies, it was all to look like she had gotten really, really ill."
Later Anne slipped into a sexy black Tom Ford gown for the New York premiere of Les Mis, and while we didn't happen to see this, apparently the Oscar-nominated starlet forgot her undies and flashed photogs when she got out of the car. Yikes! But she does look stunning:
But those Tom Ford bondage boots?! What was Rachel Zoe thinking? These are SO not Anne!

If at first you don't succeed, try again!
Brooke Mueller has voluntarily entered a rehab for a reported addiction to Adderall, making it her 19th time seeking help at a treatment facility for substance abuse.
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife was hospitalized last week for an alleged drug overdose on the psycho-stimulant. At the time, Mueller maintained that the housekeeper overreacted by calling ambulances, claiming she was simply napping rather than being "unresponsive," but this week her attorney set the record straight.
"Brooke was uncomfortable with the way Adderall was making her behave," attorney Yale Galanter told TMZ about his client's decision to seek help.
"Brooke continues her lifelong battle with drug addiction by taking these steps to prevent a further drug relapse," he added.

Are we surprised?
Kristen Stewart arrived at CBS studios on Monday evening to tape an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and it looks like she wore these sneakers on the show! Of course we can't tell since her feet are out of the frame, but we have a feeling that was done on purpose. K. Stew just can't be bothered with wearing high heels!
Kristen teases Craig for not having seen any of the Twilight films, and even though she's her usual awkward self, she is pretty adorable! Check out a clip from the interview below!

Should we ring the alarm?
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian showed that even they can stretch the limits of their style on Monday as the sisters were seen rocking some poofy pants while in Miami.
The two siblings, who were joined by brother Rob Kardashian, were in town filming their reality show when their fashion faux paux took place. Maybe it was laundry day?
