Forbe's 10 Highest Paid Superstars Of 2015

Forbes recently released its annual "The World's Highest-Paid Celebrities" list for 2015 and, as expected, it's a Scrooge McDuck  money bin of surprises. We had to go for a swim.

The calculations, based on Forbes own reporting, are a mix of obvious winners—author James Patterson continues to demand airport attention—and a few payday twists. We live in a world where Fleetwood Mac made more in a year than the Rolling Stones. Believe it. Here are a few of the unexpected highlights:

1. Floyd Mayweather (#1) made a whopping $300 million.

Mayweather made an estimated $180 million in prize money off his recent fight with Manny Pacquiao. That's before pay-per-view tallies. No wonder he can spend $1000 per meal and can drop $500,000 on jewelry in a single afternoon. (Oh, and don't feel bad for Pacquiao—he's number two on Fobres' list, having earned around $160 million in the last year.)

2. Howard Stern (#5) raked in $95 million.

Looks like Stern is half the reason SiriusXM is still in business. OK, not exactly half; the company earned around $1.4 billion in 2014. Stern's contract is estimated at about $80 million a year. Take that and shove it up your [BLEEP].

3. At a combined $146 million, Taylor Swift (#8) and her man Calvin Harris (#17) out-power couple Beyonce (#29) and Jay-Z (#28).

BeyJey only made a meager $110.5 million. That's what they get for sticking to Tidal. Meanwhile, Katy Perry (#3) made more than either couple combined, bringing in $135 million a year. Left Shark just missed the list at #101.

4. Garth Brooks (#6) is still a money factory with a $90 million take.

But keep in mind that Chris Gaines brings in half that total.

5. Robert Downey Jr. (#8) a.k.a. Iron Man is still the king of Hollywood, bringing in $80 million.

He's lucky that the failure of The Judge didn't cost him money.

6. Kim Kardashian (#33) bests Jennifer Lawrence (#34).

Kim reaped an extra half million a year over the Oscar-winning actress' $52 million. Our famous people are not paid based on cultural impact.

7. Rush Limbaugh (#11), conservative idol, made $79 million this year.

Sean Hannity (#89) admired from below, holding off the War on Christmas with only $29 million.

8. Someone paid Dr. Phil (#15) $70 million this year?

Someone paid 

9. Judge Judy (#43) tied Vin Diesel (#43).

Dr. Phil $70 million this year. Where's Oprah? We're calling every 1-900 number for emotional support.

The Fast and Furious actor is the biggest movie star to ever hit Facebook. Judy Sheindlin just forced a guy who defecated on his ex-wife's car to pay her for damages. They both make $47 million a year.

10. Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan (#71) makes more than The Rock (#81), Johnny Depp (#87), Channing Tatum (#89), or his Great Gatsby costar Leonardo DiCaprio (#89).

Welcome to 2016.

11 Hottest Celebrity Couples of 2015

1. RUSSELL WILSON AND CIARA

Russell Wilson, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, only recently revealed that he's dating singer Ciara—who just released her sixth album, Jackie. Not everybody is happy about this. Wilson is recently divorced from his high school sweetheart, the woman who once followed him to three different colleges just to be with him. It's hard to feel good when a relationship with that kind of backstory goes sour.

But there are lots of reasons why Wilson and Ciara could last. One of their first (public) dates was the White House Correspondents Dinner. But more recently, he took her to meet sick kids at Seattle Children's Hospital, just to cheer them up. That's what these two call a date! How does that not melt your heart?

“All the amazing opportunities I’ve had on the field can’t compare to helping kids whose lives are on the line,” he told Us Weekly. “I’m humbled by the courage of the patients and families I meet and proud to witness the amazing work of the nurses and doctors who care for them.”

2. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher can play the long game. Following his high profile marriage to and divorce from actress Demi Moore, Kutcher hooked up with Mila Kunis, his former co-star on That '70s Show. They finally got married after a long courtship, and are the proud parents of a baby girl, Wyatt.

Parenthood seems to suit Kutcher. “This may be a metaphor for my life,” Kutcher recently wrote on Facebook, accompanied by a photo of him carrying a “guitar, drone, wetsuit, baby chair, (and) script.” That’s the kind of upper-body workout you’ll only get from being a full-time dad/ movie star. 

Or, if you’re looking for something a little more intensive—a program that pumps up your power while burning fat—try The Anarchy Workout. No guarantees that it’ll lead to a relationship with Mila Kunis, but it will torch calories and sizzle fat in 30 minutes.

3. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Rock stars are more notorious for adhering to a strict regimen of psychoactive pharmaceuticals than a disciplined exercise routine. But the Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has a proficiency for all kinds of grueling yoga poses that he’s practiced for the past 5 years. 

The ambitious singer, who your grandmother knows best as a judge on NBC's reality singing competition The Voice, says yoga actually taught him patience and restraint. 

(We're not sure if the “restraint” he was talking about involved ejaculations. But if it was, he probably already knows about the 2 Yoga Poses for a Whole-Body Orgasm. Do you?)

Plus, it helps keep his body in the kind of shape that appeals to women like his wife, 24-year-old Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo.

4. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

How can we not want a couple who met while shooting a movie based on a Hunter. S. Thompson novel—2011's The Rum Diary—to make it for the long haul? That's why we're ignoring all the internet gossip that these two are living “separate lives” or whatever. 

Sure, the 23-year age gap between Johnny Depp, 51, and his new bride Amber Heard, 29—they got married last year on Depp's private island, because that's how he rolls—might come with a unique set of challenges. But as Ali Fedotowsky, our Girl Next Door, recently told us, it can work as long as you remember The Rules to Dating Someone Younger.)

Also, the dude’s got a private island. You know how you get a private island? You get yourself a copy of The Better Man Project, the new book from Men’s Health's Editor in Chief Bill Phillips. It's loaded with useful tips on getting more out of life, whether it's your career, your health, or becoming the kind of guy who has a private island where you marry somebody who was still a toddler back when you were banging Winona Ryder.

5. SHAKIRA AND GERARD PIQUÉ

As a defender for powerhouse soccer teams F.C. Barcelona, Manchester United, and the Spanish national team, Gerard Pique has won two Champions League titles, four Spanish League titles, an English Premier League championship, and a World Cup since 2007. 

His most impressive feat, however, was landing the sexy Colombian singer Shakira.

(How could you land a woman like Shakira? Well, a good place to start is with one of these 13 Insanely Easy Ways to Make People Like You.)

Pique revealed one surprising key to his continued success to Men's Health Spain: He and his teammates eat sushi after their games. “Our club doctors say that eating right after exercise helps you recover faster, and since we have games every two or three days, recovery is very important,” he says.

6. Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston

Theroux and Aniston have been engaged for almost three years and they're still not married. If you believe the tabloids, their relationship is either in trouble or Aniston is pregnant, or

any other number of scenarios that are likely fiction.

Our recommendation: They can take as long as they want. They've got careers to focus on. In addition to roles in everything from American Psycho to Parks and Recreation, Theroux scripted Tropic Thunder and is reportedly working onZoolander 2. As for Aniston, the We’re the Millers star—and one of the Hottest Woman of All Time—has an equally busy schedule.

Here's the main reason we're not worried about these two. When asked by Harper's Bazaar what she loves about Theroux, she said, “He's not an ass.”

Is there a better definition of true love?

7. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JESSICA BIEL

Justin Timberlake is the kind of guy who makes it all look easy: Crafting No. 1 pop hits, clowning around with Jimmy Fallon, being the kind of consistently great SNL host we haven't seen since Steve Martin, and recently getting cast as the lead in the new Spike Lee disco-era joint. (We cannot wait to see the 70’s hair on JT.)

His wife Jessica Biel, meanwhile, has consistently appeared to not age since her breakout role on 7th Heaven in the mid-1990s.

(You don't get a body like either of these two without putting in the hard work. Find out How to Get Single-Digit Body Fat. Fair warning: You'll have to train your ass off.)

8. KRISTEN BELL AND DAX SHEPARD

Veronica Mars got punked. Dax Shepard was one of Ashton Kutcher’s original pranksters on Punk’d, and then he wound up marrying the cult high school sleuth (or at least the woman who portrayed her on TV.)

Bell admitted that her initial encounter with Shepard at a birthday dinner party was “not electric.” But they eventually fell for each other, and started dated in 2007. They married in 2013 at a Beverly Hills courthouse, which Bell told us cost a grand total of $142.

“He wanted to pick out my outfit,” Bell told us about their wedding day. “Which I thought was completely romantic. Guys aren't supposed to care about stuff like that. He also made me a playlist of all my favorite songs for the ride over to the courthouse. That, to me, was better than any big, fancy wedding.”

9. SCARLETT JOHANSSON AND ROMAIN DAURIAC

How does a journalist win the heart of a singular beauty like Scarlett Johansson, one of The 100 Hottest Women of All Time? It helps if he looks like Romain Dauriac.

The former editor of a French urban art magazine (he now runs a creative agency) reportedly met Johansson through a mutual tattoo artist. Despite the fact that Johansson is based out of Los Angeles and Dauriac lives in Paris, the pair made it work and got engaged less than a year after their first date.

10. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AND CAMILA ALVES

McConaughey is coming off of a banner career year, winning an Oscar and co-starring in HBO’s critical darling, True Detective. He just finished working with Gus Van Sandt on the film Sea of Trees with Naomi Watts, out later this year. But his biggest role is as a devoted father to three kids—two sons and a daughter—and husband to Alves since 2012.

He met his Brazilian hottie model and designer at a bar in Los Angeles back in 2006. “At the time he had a really long beard, and he had this Rasta hat," she told Access Hollywood of their first encounter. “He was all covered up, and I didn't really realize who he was.”

11. BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE

Flying with kids is a nightmare. So if you're Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and have a big brood, including four adopted kids and a pair of twins, you can be forgiven for wanting to hire a private jet for your family travel plans. 

But then we learned this: For a recent family vacation, the Pitts opted to fly coach. As in, the kind of seats you and I can afford. And according to witnesses, they weren't even pushy Hollywood dicks about it!

(Are you a fearful flyer? We asked pilots to explain When to Actually Worry During a Flight.)

But then again, there are rumors that they're thinking about plopping down $4.7 million for their own private island in Greece. So maybe they're not so frugal after all.

But whatever, they're rich and famous, and even after all these years, they're still easy on the eyes. They can do what they want.

Enjoy your economy-class tickets to your own island, Mr. and Mrs. P! #FongangMbanwei

7 Celebrities With Insane Weight Loss  Workout Techniques

When it comes to dieting, celebrities are all over the latest trends. Some do it to keep their trim figures while others only go on diets if they need to lose weight for a movie role. Many celeb diets are pretty tame. We’re familiar with popular choices like Atkins and Zone but there are some diets that everyone should just avoid. There are better ways to lose weight and we wish some of these celebrities could see that. Here are 7 celebrities and their ridiculous weight loss techniques. Don’t try these at home!

1. Beyonce

To lose 20 pounds for her role in “Dreamgirls,” Beyonce used the Master Cleanse. For at least 10 days on this diet, she was limited to an all-liquid diet of cayenne lemon water and herbal laxatives, which sounds pretty horrific to us. Although the Master Cleanse sounds much more like a punishment than anything, Beyonce did look really good in “Dreamgirls.”

2. Madonna

Madonna is rumored to be a follower of the werewolf diet. Also known as the lunar diet, it involves timing your meals to the phases of the moon. People who follow this diet can reportedly lose six pounds in one 24 period on the diet; however, this is probably due to lost water weight, which can be gained back almost immediately.

3. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is a follower of the drunk diet. “I live my life as I want to, creatively. I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working. But the deal is I’ve got to work out every day, and I work out even if I am hung over. And it’s about the cross training and keeping yourself inspired. I have to say, I do a ton of yoga,” she said. This diet doesn’t seem like it is one that can be sustained long term.

4. Mariah Carey

In 2007, Mariah Carey lost a considerable amount of weight after following the bleak diet. The name for this diet is not all misleading – it is pretty bleak! Followers consume soups and fish that are prepared really blandly. Over the long term, this sounds like a pretty monotonous choice of diet.

5. Kim Kardashian

In an attempt to get her shape back after giving birth, Kim Kardashian has been doing “waist training.” She wears a super tiny corset, which is supposed to reshape her body, giving it that Jessica Rabbit look. While the reality TV star may advocate for this type of weight loss technique, health experts are warning against it, arguing that it could create potential health issues because it forces the body into an unnatural position.

6. Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet allegedly lost her baby weight with the Facial Analysis Diet. Celebrity nutritionist Elizabeth Gibauld, who created this diet, believes that different shaped faces require different diets and that markings, facial color and skin texture can tell us what the body is lacking. The diet begins with a two-day detox and is low in calories. As tempting as this one sounds, the jury is still out on whether or not this diet works.

7. Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra reportedly keeps her weight in check with grapefruit oil. She is rumored to carry around a vial of it, sniffing it whenever she feels hungry. Not everyone is convinced that this diet works. While some studies show that animals who are exposed to grapefruit scent for 15 minutes, three times a day showed a reduction in appetite, other studies suggest that grapefruit oil has no appetite suppressing properties.
