review of the best hitman ever made *hitman absolution*

Well executed.

→ November 18, 2012 For a game built upon the concept of slipping by unnoticed, Hitman: Absolution is certainly doing the opposite. It’s standing conspicuously amongst today’s fad-driven modern shooters and me-too multiplayer hopefuls, middle fingers extended. A slow-paced, single-player focused sneak ’em up, Absolution looms in stark opposition to many of the most pervading trends in gaming today. It cares not for the overly delicate, their minds rendered dull and flabby after years of being prodded through corridors blasting anything that breathes. Absolution delights in letting players skulk through it expending few bullets at all. It’s a game that wants to let you think for yourself.
A game that wants to remind you that trial and error done right equals satisfaction, not frustration.
For those of you counting at home it’s been 2368 days since Hitman: Blood Money was released, give or take. That’s a long time between drinks. It’s nearly six-and-a-half years. In video game terms that’s somewhere in the Cretaceous Period. In actual fact the besuited Agent 47 and his barcoded dome have spent the vast bulk of this generation on the sideline. Hitman: Absolution has been a long time coming, a fact fans are acutely aware of.
The pressure to deliver, then, is high. Blood Money may be a dinosaur in some respects but it remains a cult favourite adored by its faithful fans. Six-and-a-half years on

• 

the team at Io Interactive must ship a successor to it worthy of the wait. The good news is, they have.
Above everything, Absolution is a game that wants you to experiment with it. It refuses to be rushed through, rewarding brains over brawn. It wants you to spend time inside it, methodically picking your way around and discovering morbid new ways to snuff out your unfortunate marks. Like Blood Money before it, your targets here can be executed in a host of ever-so-slightly sickeningly different ways. Returning Hitman fans won’t settle for a simple bullet to the back of the head; they’ll immediately be on the lookout for the tell-tale signs of a classic Hitman kill opportunity. Some of them are more subtle than others but, like Blood Money, they’re all there, waiting to be discovered. A couple of the game’s kills are more tightly choreographed for dramatic effect, complete with a brief cutscene of your deserved victim sucking in their last breaths, but most of the game’s kills – two dozen of them at least – are traditional Hitman fare. How you take them out is in your hands. This is a slow-paced, measured experience. This is not Medal of Duty: Modern Warfighter Ops. Impatient action junkies need not apply.

the Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series *new*

The living will have to survive amongst the dead in this game based on The Walking Dead, the widely acclaimed comic book series and television series. Across five dark and emotional episodes of gameplay, every decision and action you take can result in the entire story of the game changing around you.

Play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal, who has been given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell.

Top earning entertainers of 2012

They’re making money as if it’s going out of fashion; controlling assets that are making some oil tycoons want to consider a career switch. They’re living the real celeb life – hopping from private jets to limited edition cars and SUVs.

With minimum earnings about N6.5M per month, and highest incomes nearing N50m per month in some cases, these fab few are raking in the big bucks, and making hundreds of their colleagues green with envy…

Here’s the definitive list of those who made the biggest dough in 2012.

GENEVIEVE NNAJI: The Nollywood actress is ahead of her peers, benefiting from endless endorsements (Loya, MUD, Range Rover etc) and reaping dividends from private businesses she’s keeping off public glare. Paid a mind-boggling figure to act in the movie adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s ‘Half of a Yellow sun’, Ms Nnaji rarely takes up movie roles these days. When she does, it must be worth it.

D’BANJ: Gone are the days when he made N10m in a week. These days, the superstar entertainer is making more business deals than hits, and the figures are amazing, from CRBTs to distribution, content syndication, and several non-music projects. Paid between N5 and N15 for engagements, and enjoying royalty returns from here, the UK and US, the former Mo’hits front man could soon be moving from the millionaires to the billionaires’ club.

DAVIDO: The young son of billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke is making daddy proud earning his own money at the young age of 20. Davido who started out as a rookie less than two years ago now charges four to five million Naira to perform at gigs and here’s the good part, he gets to perform at least three gigs in a week. Could be up to five, in seasons such as this. 2012 incomes include the N30m deal with MTN…

WIZKID: The EME pop star this year made big bucks from his endorsement deal with carbonated soft drink Pepsi. Same for his deal with Star, for the all-star song. And all through the year, he stood as one of the highest paid acts, charging between N4m and N6.5m for performances here, and usually more, for gigs in Dubai, England and elsewhere…

OMOTOLA JALADE-EKEINDE: Omosexy cashed out with her reality show ‘The Real Me’ for which she reportedly got paid a huge sum. She also featured in two big budget movies ‘Amina’ and ‘Last Flight to Abuja’.

PSQUARE: The twins probably made the most money this year jetting round Africa headlining sold out shows attended by thousands. Peter and Paul Okoye, whose billable hours attract close to double figures in the millions, also signed a distribution deal with Universal Music. With sold out gigs here and abroad, the brothers have built a wild following that makes sure promoters keep asking for them. Easily one of the highest paid Nigerian acts.

BASKETMOUTH: Bright Okpocha’s transition from mere stand-up comic to events compere and TV host has the big bucks rolling in for him. His Globacom endorsement remains intact, and he’s delved heavily into show promotions here and abroad. There’s also the successful EmBARssy Lounge on Lagos mainland.

ALI BABA: When the revered comedian isn’t cracking people up on Twitter, he’s making big bucks consulting or compering events for multinationals, government or high net worth individuals.

IYANYA: Being his most promising year so far, Iyanya made quite a fortune off his ‘Kukere’ single. Performance fees doubled, tripled then doubled again, causing him to swim in millions. Just this year, he relocated to an expensive apartment in Lekki and bought for himself a Range Rover HSE. Next year should even be better.

2FACE IDIBIA: If he didn’t make the list, wouldn’t you be scared? 2face started the year, releasing his fifth solo album and then embarked on a sponsored US tour. Charging as much as $60,000 per show, Mr. Idibia was busy all year, headlining gigs all over. Investment in real estate and hospitality (including Club Rumours, in Ikeja, Lagos) also paid off.

FUNKE AKINDELE: The actress-producer is still enjoying the success of ‘The Return of Jenifa’ from which she reportedly made over N30m. She has also been made the ambassador of Nigerian job website Jobberman, a deal worth millions of Naira. That’s in addition to the endorsement deal with Telecoms Company GLO and the Lagos Inland Revenue Service.

DON JAZZY: The MAVIN Records boss signed a deal with Samsung Africa and broke bank with the Loya Milk deal. With his eyes firmly on the prize, the gifted producer moved beyond the Mo’Hits beef to focus on pushing and monetizing MAVIN content, while expanding into fresh business areas. He’s penned a deal to produce the theme song for the Africa Cup of Nations holding in 2013… And the recently launched Pop Club is a year-end addition that’ll sure bear fruits….

Drake Wants Royalties for YOLO

"YOLO," shorthand for "You Only Live Once," has been splashed all over the Internet and is popping up on T-shirts and other merchandise. Now Drake, 26, claims that he's entitled to a cut of everyone profiting from the term because he made it popular in his 2011 song, "The Motto." "You only live once – that's the motto ... YOLO," he raps on the track.

On Monday, Drake called out a couple of retailers on Instagram for using YOLO. "Walgreens....you gotta either chill or cut the cheque," he wrote alongside a photo of YOLO emblazoned caps. Then, he posted a pic of Peanuts-themed T-shirts featuring "YOLO" on them hanging on the racks at a department store. "Macy's...same goes for you," Drake wrote.
"YOLO" has become so popular that it was one of the finalists for Oxford Dictionaries' 2012 Word of the Year, but it lost out to GIF. The Washington Post even gives Drake a shout-out in a story that it did in April about its popularity. "The abbreviation has been bouncing around Twitter for a while now, but it cemented its place in cultural conversation when it was written into the Drake song 'The Motto,'" Maura Judkis wrote.
Still, Drake has a tough battle ahead of him if he plans to take legal action. Gawker reports that "there are over 100 YOLO trademark applications either live or dead in the United States for everything from cologne to dog collars." Do you think Drake should get paid for YOLO?

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Brown paid $1m for Lagos gig

Popular singer Chris Brown was paid at least $1m (about N156m) to travel down to Lagos with a 15 man crew last week, NET investigations have revealed.

The Grammy-winning singer stopped over in South Africa, for concerts in Cape Town and Jo’burg, before heading down to Lagos for the show.
The Lagos event, built into Brown’s on-going world tour, was organised by Kilimanjaro Events – same company that promoted Rick Ross and Anita Baker in the past.
Financial details were not made public, but we found that Oando boss Wale Tinubu was a major financier, as well as Etisalat, which provided last minute sponsorship.
Brown was to make a brief appearance at the Oando end-of-year gig, but we’re told that did not happen.
It was Brown’s second time in Nigeria, the first being for a THISDAY Music Festival performance a few years ago.
Sources told us the fees ‘could have been more’ if he was required to perform with a live band or if he had to do multiple venues or cities.
Although he performed with a DJ and backing track, with two back-up singers and four dancers, he gave a good account of himself, treating fans to almost two hours of a well-planned set that left guests asking for more.

Chris Brown’s tour will continue early next year with a scheduled performance in Cote D’Ivoire.

FAT JOE FACES UP 2 TWO YEARS IN PRISON

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rap star "Fat Joe" faces up to two years in prison after pleading guilty Thursday to failing to pay taxes on nearly $3 million in income over two years.

The performer, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, entered the plea in federal court in New Jersey because some of the companies he earns money from are incorporated there.
The 42-year-old Miami Beach, Fla., resident entered pleas to two counts covering years 2007 and 2008 but his sentencing will take into consideration the government's initial allegation that he failed to pay income taxes for years 2007 through 2010. Federal prosecutors said the total tax loss to the government for those four years was $718,038.
Cartagena lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman said his client "had already taken steps to resolve this situation" before he was charged. He said the rapper hoped to pay back the taxes by the time of his

WIZKID SPEAKS ,EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

After releasing his debut album ‘Superstar’ Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun hasn’t looked back. Scoring number one hits, collaborating with international acts, winning world recognized awards and working up his way to A-list status, his nickname ‘Starboy’ might now be looking like an understatement.

In this exclusive interview with NET, the 22-year-old tells us about his experiences performing overseas, working with Akon, Wale, Young Jeezy, and why he feels he’s with the best team.

In one word, describe what the past year has been for you?

Blessing, it has been a blessing.

After the release of your debut album ‘Superstar’, who made decisions to go on tour or travel out of Nigeria?

I feel like everything just happened. It was funny because everything kept on happening, there was nothing we planned for, it was just God. Big shout out to my fans as well because after I released the album, I was getting calls from all over the world for bookings.  I could say it’s by my hard work, though. Of course everyone else is working hard, but you just have to have that x-factor, and that’s what has been pushing me on.

Where did you enjoy performing the most, the UK or US?

It was a totally different experience because in the UK, we have a lot of Nigerians living in one community, but in the US people are scattered all over, you have some people staying in New York, Minnesota, New Jersey. That’s the difference. Everywhere I went to, it was a different kind of love, because some people didn’t even think that I would come for the concert, because they felt like ‘why would Wizkid come to Minnesota or some funny place in the United States?’ It was a just a different experience for me.

How was it, working with the likes of Akon, Wale, Kardinal Offishall, The Game and Young Jeezy?

It was crazy, because I was at BET, then I was invited for a dinner. Wale has always been my friend, and [I'm also friends with] Bu, who’s Akon‘s younger brother. He came there with Young Jeezy and introduced me, and that was how I started work with him. When we recorded the first song, everybody loved it, [and] before I knew it The Game came in and heard the song and said he had to jump on it. We booked another session for the next day, then came back and recorded. Chris Brown and every other person came through, and it was a great feeling. I felt blessed.

Do you think not having a specific genre as an artiste has helped you have an edge over Nigerian artistes?

I wouldn’t say I have an edge over all other artistes because everybody has their own talent, but I’ll just say it’s my thing. It’s something God has blessed me with and I have worked very hard with it. It’s not just that I sit down and it comes to me, I try to surf for inspiration, and I think it has really helped me to be the ‘Wizkid’ that I am. People don’t get surprised by what I do, they feel like I can come up with any style, so it has helped me.

So which other international artistes have you worked with that we don’t know of?

I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag because people know almost all the ones I’ve worked with, so I will keep the others a secret till the time comes.

How did you find time to record your forth-coming album while you were busy on tour?

I am a workaholic, I’m a studio rat. In London, after the concerts I went back to the studio to do my thing,. It’s the love for music that keeps me going.

What is the energy behind you recording and performing?

It’s just because I love it. If you love your job then it’s no longer a job. It becomes a part of you. I don’t complain about doing my job, and my fans show me a lot of love.

What do you think is behind all this growth after your first single ‘Holla at your boy‘?

Firstly, it’s God, because everybody works hard, but it’s whom God has blessed that excels. So I just feel he is the one behind all these things happening, and also the fact that I have a solid team behind me handling my business.

What is the difference between when it was just you, Banky W, and Skales in the EME crew, to the new family now?

It was Banky and I even before Skales (Laughs). The dream at that time was to build an empire, bring some artistes, and build them on the same platform. It’s just a dream coming true, and it’s something we have always wished to do. We just made sure we built the empire, [and] I just thank God that everything is working out well. EME has always been about how good you are, not how well dressed you are.

Banky W postponed his album for the team to release the compilation; would you ever take that bullet for the team?

I [also] didn’t release an album this year just because of the EME album. I was supposed to release an album on June 12 this year, [but] I put that aside, which is a big sacrifice for me. For someone that works hard like I do and [has] a lot of materials, yeah, I’ve taken a bullet already (Laughs).

How was the experience recording the EME album?

It was easy. From day one it has always been about ‘what do you have now, let’s put it together and make something crazy.’ So when we were recording the album it was exciting. I’m glad we made it happen.

What does the wizkid brand stand for?

It stands for an ambitious young man who is trying fulfill his dreams. A lot of people come to me and say they want to be like me, I just feel overwhelmed by it and I’m happy and thank God.

Do you feel at the top of your career?

I am not anywhere close right now, I’m just starting. Every day when I wake up in the morning I feel like ‘what am I going to do today?’

You were nominated at the Channel O Awards but didn’t win. How did you feel?

I didn’t feel anyhow, I have gone through a lot of awards that I didn’t win at all, which is no stress for me. My fans still show me love and I have a couple of other awards, so I’m good with it.

Have you turned down any sort of endorsements?

I have turned down a couple of endorsement because the business is not want I want to associate myself with; I’ve got Pepsi right now.

Where did the rumour of you leaving EME come from?

We have heard that news; I guess some people thought of saying something funny.

Why did you part ways with your manager Osagie Osarenkhoe?

It was a business decision, because the brand is growing. She’s still working with a couple of other EME artistes to push their brands. She is still part of the team, we just needed more hands.

Rihanna GETS $160,000 Porsche from ROC Nation, shows off butt cheek

If you just bought for yourself a new $12 million home, what other way would you want to drive into it than in a Porsche?!

Rihanna, 24, who is ending the year on a high (not putting Chris Brown into consideration), releasing her seventh studio album, buying her Pacific Palisades mansion, has been gifted with a silver Porsche automobile worth $160,000.

The car was given to her by her management company ROC Nation (headed by Jay Z). Riri proudly showed it off on Twitter with the caption ‘Turbo on dat a$$’, All I see is signs, all I see is dolla $ign$’.

Speaking of a$$, just a few hour later she posted a picture of a woman’s derriere, showing off one butt cheek with the caption ‘#thuglife’. I guess some things don’t change.

This holiday comes the Exclusive ‘Django Unchained’

Django is a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles -- dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...

‘Iron Man 3′ Casts China’s Wang Xuequi As New ‘Dr Wu’: Beijing Filming Starts Monday

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel starts filming several Iron Man 3 scenes in Beijing on Monday. And I’ve learned from my Chinese-based movie biz sources that the studio has just cast leading Chinese actor Wang Xuequi as a new character playing “Dr. Wu”. The highly secretive Marvel has been prepping for the shoot for a week in Mainland China. DMG Entertainment is Iron Man 3’s Chinese distributor, and is working to help staff the shoot on the ground. Marvel still intends to file for co-production status – but apparently they have a permit to film and are ready to go on that front.

It was rumored a few months ago that Hong Kong actor Andy Lau would be joining Iron Man 3 as an ally of billionaire inventor Tony Stark, but he quickly backed out. Then several online comic book sites claimed 64-year-old Xueqi would be a last minute addition taking on the role that Lau had been circling: Chen Lu who is the civilian alias of Radioactive Man. But I’m told Xueqi’s “is not a huge part”.
With a film career that has spanned over 25 years in China’s film industry, Wang Xueqi is what many call the Sean Connery of China. He was often cast in early Fifth Generation films, such as Chen Kaige’s Yellow Earth (1984) and The Big Parade (1986), Huang Jianxin’s Samsara, and Zhang Yimou’s Codename Cougar (1989). He has since carved out a niche in the Chinese market as a character actor. He has recently appeared in award-winning roles in Forever Enthralled (2008) and Bodyguards and Assassins (2009)

Xueqi joins the cast that already includes Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale, Ashley Hamilton and Rebecca Hall. Shane Black is directing from a screenplay by him and Drew Pearce; This third installment of the billion-dollar franchise now owned and distributed by the Walt Disney Co is produced by Marvel topper Kaven Feige and scheduled to be released in the U.S. and China on May 3, 2013. It will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in all territories worldwide except China where it will be distributed by DMG Entertainment, and in Germany and Austria by the Tele München Group.

Kim Kardashian Gets Makeup Tips – from Betty White

With her own beauty empire and a wardrobe big enough to fill an airplane hangar, is there anything Kim Kardashian doesn't know about clothes and makeup?

Apparently so.

The reality starlet gets some style advice from the one lady perhaps even hotter in popular culture right now than Kardashian is – Betty White – in an upcoming episode of Betty White's Off Their Rockers.

Kardashian is a guest star on the second of two back-to-back episodes airing Jan. 8, appearing in a comedy bit in which the 32-year-old reality star prepares to hit the town with the 90-year-old White.

Bradley Cooper & Zoe Saldana Celebrate Silver Linings PlaybooK

At the candle-lit dinner party, De Niro enjoyed a Purity Vodka martini, while Cooper posed for photos with Zoe Saldana. De Niro spent part of the night talking with Mel Gibson and Jane Fonda, who were also in attendance.

Diane Keaton was also at the event, but upon arriving, entered the room "looking a bit puzzled," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

When asked if she was looking for someone, she responded, "No, I'm looking for a drink," the source adds all was caught in the act

James Bond Is Back: 'Skyfall' Reclaims No. 1 at Box Office in 5th Week

Five weeks after opening No. 1 with $88 million, the James Bond blockbuster "Skyfall" is back on top of the U.S. box office.

This time, the 23rd film in the 50-year-old 007 franchise claimed the weekend crown with just $11 million. While that is quite a comedown in grosses from its debut, the overall numbers for "Skyfall" keep getting more impressive. Its domestic total now stands at $261 million, and with another $20.3 million from overseas this weekend upping its international total to $656 million, it has an overall global gross of $918 million. That makes it the highest-grossing film released by Sony Pictures, topping "Spider-Man 3," which brought in $890 million in 2007.

It was a slow box office weekend because the studios largely steered clear ahead of Friday's U.S. debut of "The Hobbit." Tracking and pre-sales indicate Warner Bros. is looking at a debut north of $120 million for the first installment in Peter Jackson's latest Middle Earth epic.

The weekend's only wide opener was FilmDistrict's "Playing for Keeps," and the romantic comedy starring Gerard Butler took in just $6 million to finish sixth. It's been a tough fall at the box office for Butler, whose surfing film "Chasing Mavericks" debuted to an even-worse $2.2 million in October.
Also read: 'Playing for Keeps' Gets Some Really Rotten Tomatoes
DreamWorks Animation's 3D kids movie "Rise of the Guardians" was second with $10.5 million, just a 22 percent drop from last week. That's good news for the slow-starting family film, which is in its third week, and offers hope for distributor Paramount that it will play through the holidays.
There was good news from abroad, too. "Guardians" took in $26 million from 58 foreign markets, including No. 1 finishes in the U.K., France, Italy and Mexico. Its overall domestic gross is $62 million and its worldwide total is $151 million.

Supermodel, Tyra Banks covers latest issue of Arise Magazine

Guess who made the cover for this month’s edition of the Arise Magazine?

It’s American model and fashion entrepreneur, Tyra Banks, styled by the duo of Ty-ron Mayes and Sabrina Henry and photographed by Seiji Fujimori.

lil girl wins nigerians got talent

The winner of the first-ever Nigeria’s Got Talent has emerged! Her name is Amarachi Uyanne and she’s just eight years old!!

Amarachi, a dancer from Benin City, Edo State, dusted off competition from nine other contestants and was crowned winner in front of a studio audience today, Saturday, December 8, 2012 at the grand finale held at Bamako Studios, Ikeja, Lagos.

Amarachi who turned eight in July is the youngest contestant on the competition.

After being screened from 10 to six, to four and then a final three, Amarachi was tonight announced winner by the show’s host Andre Blaze.

Judges Kate Henshaw, Dan Foster, Yibo Koko all seemed pleased with the result.

She walks away with a cash prize of N10m, amongst other prizes.

A mild fire which broke out behind the studio while Amarachi was delivering her final performance caused a chaos and caused her to run off stage. But emergency workers quickly put out the fire.

There were musical performances from EME’s Skales and Niyola as well as and upcoming crowd pleaser Dammy Krane.

‘I am happy what happened has happened. Every parent should allow their kids do whatever they can do to display their talents‘, Emike Uyanne, Amarachi’s mother told NET, a few minutes after her daughter was announced winner.

Opa Williams in India for Surgery

Opa Williams is the producer of 'Nite of A Thousand Laughs'. Here is what he wrote on his Facebook page;

 

"How things change, how new things, places, experiences spring up before you and take priority over all else. It’s 5.00 am and I am in Dubai waiting to catch a flight to Bangalore. Bangalore, that name was never known to me some three months ago, even going to Dubai was not in my things to do list a month ago.

 

"But I am here sitting and waiting for my flight to Bangalore South India and that will be like 6 hours from now. What’s on my mind? Get there and do this damn surgery and get back to Lagos and revisit my drawn things to be done for the year 2012. This was just a distraction that God has conquered."

Beyonce Buys Jay-z $5million Wrist Watch for His Birthday

If this is what Beyonce buys Jay Z for his birthday, what on earth is the rap star going to find under the tree this Christmas?
It has been reported that the Crazy In Love singer surprised her husband with a €4m diamond encrusted Hublot Big Bang watch – the most expensive wrist watch on the planet. Ever.
The diamond watch, which has a whopping 1,282 diamonds covering its face and wristband, sparkles from every conceivable angle thanks to 140 carats of diamonds set in white gold.
And the company, which is owned by French luxury giant LVMH, stated that it took 17 people 14 months to design and make the one-of-a kind time piece.
Jay Z may have 99 problems but a gift certainly ain’t one, as his wife Beyonce is known for her generous and extravagant presents.
Earlier this year, the Halo singer spent €385,000 on a sapphire pinky ring for her hubby, which was intended to show Beyonce's appreciation of Jay Z's support throughout her pregnancy.
The deep blue ring also commemorated the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy.
Last year she bought the rap star a €1.8m Bugatti car for his birthday.
A source close to the couple said: “Beyonce will always get Jay the best gifts money can buy. She knew he would love the Hublot Big Bang watch. It's the ultimate time piece.”
Jay Z is a watch enthusiast and has a pretty impressive collection.
“Jay Z is a huge watch collector and was very excited when he was given the gift. He can't wait to start flashing it around,” said a source.
And the Empire State of Mind singer knows how to spoil his wife of five years too.
In 2012, he bought her €270,000 worth of Hermes Birkin bags.
Earlier this year, Beyonce and Jay were listed as the world's richest couple in Forbes magazine.
Not bad, considering that Beyonce has scaled down her work schedule after giving birth in January this year.
While Beyonce has been focusing on motherhood, she's still managed to rake in royalties from past hits, benefiting from her various endorsement deals and other ventures, including her clothing line House of Dereon, making her personal income €32m.
Meanwhile, her husband has been touring the world with fellow rapper Kanye West, and their sellout Watch The Throne tour has helped him add a further €30m to their combined income.

Iyanya Turns Yvonne Nelson Into Chewing Gum? Dumps Her For Tonto Dikeh

While Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson and Nigerian music sensation, Iyanya were romantic items, they both reportedly denied having any romantic ties with each other. Even when close industry sources stressed that Iyanya and Yvonne were warming their beds, they further denied it.

Now, like a chewing gum, the MTN Project Fame season one winner has called it quit with the Ghanaian actress for controversial Nigerian actress, Tonto Dikeh.

An embittered Yvonne, who couldn't hide her hurt anymore, took to twitter to let the world know she has been dumped by her lover, Iyanya, for another beautiful actress, Tonto. She tweeted, "I really thought you were the one but I guess all you (Iyanya) wanted was to be dating an actress. Enjoy dating the second actress. [I have] moved on player."

The wounded lover further tweeted, "He was acting all along in the relationship and guess what? I'm THE actress and I couldn't tell. #irony of life. Revelations!!! Sat down in shock but had this smile on my face..the truth sure was unbelievable......hello real MAN!

"Peeps like him give LOVE a bad name. Clapping well done. You lost the love I loved the most. I almost forgot, don't come back! The cheating story ENDS here.*kisses."

Iyanya, in his newest single, 'Your Waist', severally mentioned the name of Yvonne Nelson. This further cleared doubts about an affair going on between the two.

The-Dream: New Beyonce Music Coming 'Before the Super Bowl'

Beyoncé will "definitely" be ready with new music before she takes the stage at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans for her Super Bowl halftime show on February 3rd, frequent collaborator The-Dream tells Billboard.

When asked whether she had new songs on the way, The-Dream responded: "Definitely. She's got her stuff going. She took the summer to start recording, and now she's in a place where she's ready to start gearing up to reveal her plan."
Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time
The-Dream (real name Terius Nash) also noted that he's "involved in every part of the process" for Beyoncé's upcoming fifth album, after co-writing five songs on her last album, 4.
"She's already gearing up to get ready to put stuff out," The-Dream said. "I'm sure there will probably be a couple records you hear before the Super Bowl gets here."

Next year is shaping up to be a busy one for Beyoncé. Along with the Super Bowl show, and the growing possibility of a new record, on February 16th HBO will premiere a new documentary, directed by Beyoncé, that explores her performing, recording and, of course, parenting duties.

justin bieber 10th highest paid 2012

Though he's only 18 years old, Justin Bieber has had a year for the ages. The Canadian crooner released his third studio album, launched a world tour and continued investing in startups, adding to a portfolio that includes stakes in Spotify, Tinychat and others. All in all, he earned $55 million in 12 months.
"I do calls every week with my business manager and my lawyer," Bieber told FORBES this spring as part of a cover story on his budding venture capital career. "Each week I'm learning something about my business and what I need to know for my career."

But when it comes to the world's highest-paid musicians, Bieber is a relative pauper, barely breaking the top ten.
