Celine Dion $250 millionCéline Marie Claudette Dion, OC OQ (born March 30, 1968 in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian Grammy and Juno award winning pop singer and occasional songwriter. Born to a large, impoverished family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion became a young star in francophone Canada after her manager and future husband, René Angélil, mortgaged his home to finance her first record. She later gained recognition in parts of Europe and Asia after she won both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.The Canadian chanteuse's exclusive five-year gig at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas has vaulted her into fifth place. Dion's stationary extravaganza is more profitable than one that requires paying roadies in every major city in the world. An estimated 140 million albums sold worldwide hasn't hurt her bottom line either; her single "My Heart Will Go On"--the theme song for the blockbuster Titanic--sold over 15 million copies alone

Madonna $325 millionMadonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16, 1958), known as Madonna, is a Grammy and Golden Globe award winning American dance-pop singer-songwriter, record and film producer, dancer, actress, author and fashion icon. She is noted for her ambitious music videos and stage performances as well as using political, sexual, and religious themes in her work.She could have easily disappeared into pop obscurity like the other frothy pop tartlets (Cyndi Lauper, Neneh Cherry) who came to fame on nascent MTV in the early 1980s. But Madonna's masterful manipulation of her image and the press, combined with an astute business sense, have crowned her as one of entertainment's wealthiest and most enduring acts. While her albums don't sell like they used to, her concerts still set attendance records all over the world, grossing $1 billion over the course of her 20-year career. The Material Girl's portfolio is also crammed with expensive items like contemporary a...

Oprah Winfrey $1.5 billionOprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is the American multiple-Emmy Award winning host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, the highest rated talk show in television history. She is also an influential book critic, an Academy Award-nominated actress, and a magazine publisher.Born in rural poverty, then raised by a mother on welfare in the ghetto, Winfrey became a millionaire at age 32 when her talk show went national.

"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much." The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25years".

GOLF ACCIDENT

A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion,multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this", said the man."I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it, stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt. That's when I made my big mistake.""What did you do?" asks the doctor. " Well, I lifted the cow's tail again and yelled to my wife,'Hey, this looks like yours!'.... I don't remember much after that."

He doesn?t want sex?
2007-04-04 10:26:00
Men are horn dogs or at least most of them are, but some men just sometimes lose interest. You ask yourself, is something wrong with you? Have you become sexually unattractive? Did I put too much make-up or too less?Well, first of all, there?s nothing wrong with you. Lack of sexual interest is a problem but according to experts, most sexual problems aren't sexual at all.We sometimes have the idea that for men, the sexual experience is detached from what is going on inside. In reality, a man's emotions can have a huge impact on his sexual desire. If he feels emotionally distant from his woman, and especially if he feels like a failure in his career or business, it can lead to a lack of confidence and therefore a lack of interest in sex. For a man, sexual performance is very much tied to ego, so if he is not feeling good about himself it will definitely show up in his approach to sexual intimacy. Also, if a man is overworked or under a lot of stress, whether inside or outside the ho...

Why does everyone want to be Paris Hilton?

Unless you are from another planet, you obviously know who Paris Hilton is. In case you really are from another dimension or planet here?s a Paris Hilton?s quick biography by who2.com:First known to the tabloids as "Paris the Heiress," Hilton went from party-hopping socialite to self-made entertainment brand early in the 21st century. She is the great-granddaughter of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton, granddaughter of Barron Hilton, grand-niece of Nicholas Conrad "Nicky" Hilton (the one-time husband of Elizabeth Taylor) and daughter of real estate magnate Rick Hilton. In 2003 Hilton starred in a fish-out-of-water "reality" show called The Simple Life on the Fox Network. The show was a takeoff on the 1960s sitcom Green Acres, with city girls Hilton and Nicole Richie (daughter of singer Lionel Richie) spending a month on a farm in Altus, Arkansas. A big hit, the show spawned sequels in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2004 Hilton released a book, Confessions of an Heiress, and in 2005 she appeared ...

Relationship Killers

If you want to keep each other around, you should make each other feel important, special and competent. Any of the behaviors listed below will indicate that you?re taking each other for granted -- and if there?s anything a woman or man hates, it?s being taken for granted. So make those small gestures; after all, if your beloved is worth keeping, it shouldn?t even feel like an effort to you.Being controllingMany people in relationships suffer from fanatic ?CONTROLITIS? . You get jealous of friends. You tell her not to spend so much time gossiping with her girl friends. You tell him he spent too much money at the billiards bar yada yada yada.Although women have a reputation for being clingy, they also enjoy their independence. Chances are your girlfriend lived her life pretty successfully before you entered the picture. It is equally likely that she can still manage her own time and money without your help.Men are by nature independent people and hate to be told what to do. Instead o...

How to Attract Women with Cocky Comedy
2007-04-01 04:28:00
Healthy-minded women aren?t attracted to complete jerks. The purpose of Cocky Comedy isn?t to make a woman laugh -- it?s about making her feel attractive and making her feel that you mustered enough courage to entertain her. Cocky Comedy is just the right mixture of arrogant, funny remarks and witty comebacks or come-ons. If you can make a woman laugh at something you say that?s extremely arrogant-sounding, you?ve achieved a magical accomplishment. THAT is cocky comedy. Show your Cocky Comedy character So what is the character? If you catch yourself thinking, ?She?s just trying to get me into bed" and ?What?s in it for me?" or if you're sarcastically imitating her silly quirks, then you?ve got the character. When you do, you?ll find that Cocky Comedy will happen almost automatically, and so will women?s attraction for you.Most guys who naturally use Cocky Comedy aren?t TRYING to be funny, and they?re definitely not seeking approval -- they?re being the CHARACTER.

How do you know if he?s Cheating?
2007-03-30 01:50:00
If a man cheats, eventually he gets caught. Men get tired of hiding it and little mistakes will happen. The obvious will become clear. In the meantime, do not let your imagination run wild. Can he be trusted? Are their obvious signs? Here are different views from real women with relationship issues (real names withheld).?If your man usually tells you everything, and then he meets a new female friend that he thinks treats him so sweet, then you don't hear anymore about her for awhile. Then you find out she's calling him late at night or on weekends...something is going on. Especially if he calls her or texts her only when he is going to orfrom work or out of town or other times you know you were not around? ---Mary---?Look at his cell phone bill when he's not around.

Why live on a budget?
2007-03-28 13:02:00
If you?re like most of us, we just couldn?t get ourselves to create a financial plan. We make a lot of excuses not to start a budget and slip in a daydream of what if?s? We blame our jobs, that we?re not getting enough and the taxes that we have to pay. If only I was born rich. If only I get promoted. If only my salary was bigger. Well, according to financial experts, It's not your salary that's to blame. It's a pattern of poor spending choices. But why live on a budget? Here are three compelling reasons why budgeting is a necessity. We have to know the ?why? to appreciate the need to have a strong financial plan.To strengthen Relationships. Money is a huge source of stress for many couples. Sitting down with your significant other to discuss financial goals helps prevent money disputes down the road.

Four Types of Women Guys Avoid

Wonder why you always don?t get that elusive second date or even a phone call from the guy you thought you can connect with? Find out how you bit their head off.I compiled this list with conversations I had with my male friends, cousins & my man...The Drama queen. She is overly emotional. The type that shows her feelings on a first encounter. A hunk buys her a drink and a few seconds, she shares how her life is not working out. Talk about information over-load. If you?re that type of girl. You have to lighten up. Keep your feelings in check. Men certainly don?t want to be an emotional garbage bin. Try to hold-off in divulging insecurities not until you develop a real relationship with your man.The Gold digger. A woman who falsely seduces a man under the true pretense of spending his money. Some even get too far by letting their man pay for their liposuction or even tuition for her kid. There was one story that a girl lied to her man about the paternity of her child, resulting in the...

Love vs Lust
2007-03-26 13:33:00
I recently browsed around the net and came across an article by Matthew Fitzgerald, Relationship Correspond at Askmen.com.In his article he said, ?Love and lust are intertwined. Lust is nature?s way of getting opposite sexes together to mate. Without lust, it is doubtful that love between man and a woman have a chance to prosper at all.?I strongly disagree with that statement. Love and lust maybe related at times but they still have a unique distinction.For me, Love has many definitions yet in general it implies a concern for the welfare of another person. It is a number of strong emotions and experiences. A strong affection towards another person. Lust on the other hand, is the product of a libidinal urge. A strong sexual affection between lovers may connote lust for people in love but sexual affection is part of romantic love but lust is incompatible or unrelated to love. Lust also connotes inappropriate behavior like cheating your husband or boyfriend.But I agree with Mr. Fitzger...

Savings advice for Newlyweds
2007-03-26 07:36:00
We all want to start our marriages on the right financial footing. The best way is to start saving as early as possible. Even small amounts can grow big later. One of the biggest mistakes a couple could make is to procrastinate saving until it?s too late. Here are a few things my husband & I are doing ever since we got married a year ago.Get Health Insurance. For most of us, we think insurance is a waste of money. We sometimes believe that we are invulnerable and could not get sick at all so we put- off getting insured. A disease or accident can wipe out your entire life savings and even leave with you debt. If your employer does not offer that benefit, then shop around for the best rates or ask friends for referrals. Do this right away; we can never predict what?s going to happen to us.Build an Emergency Fund. This will help you go through a rough financial patch without having to sell your house or to file for bankruptcy. If you lose your job, your emergency fund will replace your...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!

by hubby Last night, we celebrated the "sophisticated one's" birthday. Thanks to Rico for the lovely cake with a candle on it. (see right) A few weeks back we were thinking of spending her birthday on either a quick get-away, a sumptuous dinner or karaoke singing with close friends but we thought, hey we did those last year! Lani's mom called one day & she proposed we hold the party at their house. Last year we did not even invite her family on our 1 night karaoke singing coz it was an all close friends type of party ( her sisters were there by the way). We finally decided to involve her family and invite some friends.Thanks to her mom & manang who both cooked really great food, the party was a success. Around 15 of our very closest friends and co-workers came and had a blast of a time. We sang our hearts out with really old songs and some 90's hits (the magicsing weren't updated with new songs) With beer in hand & lots of pictures taken, that was indeed the most mem...

So now you see how frustrating that is?Now I know what SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD means. Peter had to save Claire so he can acquire her power, so he can beat Sylar til the end. Sylar may be able to kill him, but Peter can always self-heal and revive himself... and at the same time, he gets to acquire Sylar's powers too. Sylar can't acquire powers like he does. Peter is our only hope for Sylar! Sylar, ...
