Don't cry Paul McCartney!
Friday, the Beatle will lose his title of World's Richest Rock Star, to Bono.
Thanks to a wise investment, Bono now owns 2.3% of Facebook shares.
THAT MEANS, by the end of the day a $90 million investment the U2er made 2 years ago, will magically turn into $1.5 billion.
Sir Paul only has a little over $1 billion, the poor chap!!
Since he earned most his money from the stock market, this officially makes Bono better at investing than music. LOL!
Either way, we bet the billionaire is gonna have a VERY special night tonight!

Mz. Jennifer Lopez is bringing in the cash and cashing in on this year's Forbes World's Most Powerful Celebrities list! But don't be fooled (by the rocks that she's got, got) — she's still Jenny from the block!
From On The 6 to America's hit TV show, J.Lo tops this year's list at numero uno, for her "career reincarnation" and for earning $52 million over the last 12 months!!
The annual list is based on money AND fame, with fame being defined as media visibility and social media presence!
While Oprah stays snuggled in at second place like last year, Justin Bieber follows right after the talk show legend, ranking at number 3 and earning $55 million.
Pretty impressive!
Though second (second is the best…?), Oprah STILL ranks as number one in TV/Radio AND in earnings, making $165 million in just this past year!!!

All hail the most HONORABLE Knight of the Realm, Sir Paul McCartney!
Did you know that Paul saved DJ Mark Ronson from drowning in the Long Island Sound when Mark was just a little lad?
Well neither did Mark!
He had heard tales from his mother that eluded to a saviour-beatle, but assumed it was one of his mom’s “crazy stories”…
Until he recently recorded a song with the famed ex-Beatle!
Mark recently revealed:

Oooh! This could be good!!
Katie Couric pulls back some fancy British tapestries to give most Americans a view they rarely see, the REAL Queen Elizabeth II.
ABC teases its upcoming regal interview (above) with clips of Couric speaking in detail to Princes William and the Hippo-less Harry about a variety of subjects, including Her Majesty’s Facebook account!
We wonder if she plays Words With Friends! LOLz!!
In the two-hour broadcast, Couric speaks with
Paul McCartney raised his daughter Mary right!
The photographer, who is a vegetarian and passionate animal rights activist, has just released her first cookbook. Food utilizes stories from her childhood and her own photography to teach readers how to reduce the amount of meat they eat on a regular basis by introducing them to creative new recipes.
The publisher describes the vegetarian cookbook as:
"Fresh, inspirational and irresistible, Mary's first cookbook will enthuse readers to bring more meat-free cooking into their repertoires. From Fruit and Nut Granola to Asparagus Tart, Mexican Bean Tortilla to Coconut Rice Pudding, Mary gives us ideas for every meal, from breakfasts to Sunday roasts, and offers new twists on old classics like pancakes, and Shepherd's Pie."
The Beatles frontman supported his daughter all the way on Thursday in London by attending the book launch with his lovely new wife Nancy Shevell. As you can see in the pictures (below), the fans went wild for Mary's famous dad outside of the party.

Praise Record Store Day (April 21st)!!
We know vinyl may seem ancient to many, but it is a celebrated listening format and one of the purest ways to listen to tunes!
Katy Perry and Bruno Mars are honoring the outdated format by releasing records featuring some of their current hit songs!!
Kaypers will release Part of Me - Jacques Lu Cont’s Thin White Duke Remix on a 12-inch single with Tommie Sunshine’s Megasix Smash-Up on the flip side. Bruno chose to press four versions of Grenade into his vinyl project.
Paul McCartney, Coldplay, and Bruce Springsteen are also doing their part in helping 2000 independent record stores that depend on the sale of the vintage medium.
Get your vinyl on!

Uh Oh!!
Someone is breaking Paul McCartney's heart!
In his new music video collection for My Valentine, Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp pay homage to the beautiful language of sign.
Unfortunately, the sign amateurs hit a few wrong gestures and ended up saying "tampon" instead of "appear" and "enemy" instead of "valentine."
Oooh….
So a rep for the British Deaf Association has spoken up:
