She appeared in Bring It On: All or Nothing, and continued writing music for Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams! Who knew?

Three years after saying "I Do," Solange divorced Daniel and move to LA to revamp her music career.

Solange loves Motown girl groups and she is influenced by their sound. She says that songwriting is her first passion. She is also quite the fashionista and she is incredibly artistic, as is proven on her website, mydamnblog.com.

She's shaved her head to save money on weaves and her fashion choices are always bright, funky and unique. Living in Beyonce's shadow has to be challenging beyond measure, but Knowles has done an exceptional job at being her own person and carving out her own path. I respect her for it!

She also works with Rimmel London on an endorsement deal, as well as Puma shoes and she has a hip-hop oriented merchandise line called Baby Jamz. I dig this chick. I really need to hear her albums. I've heard that they are amazing!

Whitney Cummings Bio, Net Worth

Whitney Cummings is the 5'11 tall, skinny comedienne with a mouth bigger than Julia Roberts'. Whitney Cummings net worth is $4 million. She is the creator of Two Broke Girls on CBS and she's besties with Chelsea Handler.

Whit had a black boyfriend, which is something that Handler would often reference to, but the couple split a few months ago, Cummings told Wendy Williams. Additionally, Whitney has gained some much needed weight recently. I'm thinking it's breakup weight?

Whitney is a model, writer and producer who began her career in entertainment by modeling. She went to the University of Southern California and paid for her classes by modeling. Genius! After a few years, Cummings transferred to the University of Pennsylvania where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Communications and Film. She's pretty, nasty and smart boys!

Cummings began to make a name for herself when she was cast as a prankster on MTV's "Punk'd." She later transitioned to starring roles in TV shows and movies. She is one of the few women in history to have two shows on television at the same time. Her NBC series "Whitney" was pretty hilarious and awful. Sadly the show did not survive but Whitney's career continues to thrive whether she's in front of or behind the camera. Love her.

Massimo Dobrovic's net worth is half a million dollars. Massimo Dobrovic appears on Euros of Hollywood and is an actor, model and choreographer. Mass says that he'd like to win an Oscar. Good luck with that!

Born in Croatia, Dobrovic's family fled to Italy during the war (when Massimo was a boy). Massimo's mother is from  Italy. The handsome reality star is a bit of a metrosexual. He's really into fashion and cuisine. I'm sure there are Massimo gay rumors lurking around somewhere.

Dobrovic is a successful actor in Italy and he's fluent in Italian, Spanish, Russian, Serbian, Hungarian and Polish. He hopes to master an American accent so that he can score a leading role. Because he has studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and has a diverse cultural background. He can play Italian, Latin and Russian characters. Meanwhile his American and British accents aren't bad either!

Massimo calls himself a Renaissance man. Do you agree?

Shonda Rhimes is keeping ABC relevant, so naturally the director, writer and producer has dozens of millions Shonda Rhimes' net worth is $60 million and growing. Born in Chicago on January, 13, 1970, Rhimes proves that women really can "have it all."

Shonda is the creator, executive producer and head writer of "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," "How to Get Away With Murder" and "Private Practice." Grey's Anatomy is one of the longest running scripted series in television history while "Scandal" and "How to Get Away With Murder" are some of the most Tweeted about shows of all time. 

Rhimes attended Dartmouth College in New Hampshire before moving to San Francisco and working in advertising. Possibly turned off by the long hours and competitive atmosphere, she decided to enroll at USC to study screenwriting. There was no slowing this major talent down!

Shonda went on to write movies for Disney before working for ABC, where she forever changed the network and made its shows a pop culture staple.

Seth MacFarlane Net Worth

Seth MacFarlane net worth is $150 million and growing. Seth makes more than $30 million each year from DVD and merchandise sales and a lucrative contract with the Fox network.
MacFarlane is a writer, producer, singer, comedian and voice actor. Everything Seth touches becomes gold and he is the person behind The Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show, which all air on the very same network, Fox!

But Seth's fortune from hit TV shows and DVD sales can't hold a candle to how successful his first feature film was. Ted, a comedic movie about a perverted cursing teddy bear, was released in 2012. A sequel is expected this year or next year. Seth already had a huge following due to the success of Family Guy and its cult following, but Ted may have appealed to many people who don't watch Family Guy at all. The movie grossed more than $500 million at the worldwide box office! Damn. MacFarlane wrote, directed and produced Ted.

Born in Kent, Connecticut, Seth is only 40 years old but his Fox show Family Guy began airing when he was only in his 20s. Family Guy was canceled by Fox in 2001, which was clearly one of the network's biggest mistakes. Due to the massive DVD sales of the show's first season, which shattered records, Family Guy was picked back up and began airing on the network in 2005.

Seth made $2 million each year from 2005 to 2008 for his cartoon. In 2009, MacFarlane inked a new deal with Fox that would make him $100 million in 5 years. Seth's $100 million contract does not include his DVD or merchandise profits, which are estimated to earn the multi-talented star more than $20 million every single year! Are you jealous yet?

Seth bought a mansion in Beverly Hills for $13.5 million, which is probably a lot of square footage, but he isn't married and has no children. Don't feel bad for Seth, though, you know he probably gets laid more than a rock star on tour.

Pattie Mallette is Justin Bieber's mom, which means she hit the lottery. Pattie Mallette's net worth is $20 million. She was born on April 2, 1975 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. She has an older brother named Chris that no one hears about. Sadly, when Pattie's older sister was hit by a car at age five while crossing the street and she passed away.

When Mallette was 14 years old, she was continually sexually abused before getting date raped at the age of 15."I was sexually violated so many times that as the years went by it began to feel normal. It's a strange marriage – knowing something is wrong yet at the same time finding it familiar and commonplace," she says.

At the age of nine, Pattie appeared on local television programs including Big Top Talent and Romper Room. When she was 10 years old she was cast in two plays at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, which brings in more than a million tourists each year. While in middle school and high school, Mallette was active in drama and choir classes and danced for seven years, earning her multiple awards and trophies.

Although Pattie was clearly talented, she spent her time pursuing other "extracurricular activities," if you will. She began experimenting with drugs at the age of 14 and used LSD, marijuana and alcohol. She also became a shoplifter who vandalized school property by starting a fire in a bathroom. When Pattie was 15, she began dating Justin Bieber's dad, Jeremy Bieber. When Pattie was 16, she moved out and made money via petty theft and drug dealing. DAMN! At 17 years old, Pattie tried to kill herself by throwing herself in front of a truck. She was still with Jeremy Bieber at the time, her boyfriend of 4 years. She gave birth to Justin at 18 years old and she and Jeremy broke up 10 months later.

Mallette has written a memoir detailing strong life events along with words of encouragement for her fans to take in. Pattie published her first memoir in 2012 titled Nowhere But Up. In this book she detailed a few of the traumatic events she’s experienced in her young adult years. Mallette has vividly opened up about life as a teen mom.

From her suicide attempt to abuse, Pattie has let readers dive into her dark past. Mallette’s memoir became a New York Times best seller during the first week. Through her memoir, Mallette ultimately wants fans to learn that there is life outside of hardship and suffering. Despite Mallette’s success as an influential figure, many fans along with the public, recently began to criticize the pop star’s mother for failing to discipline or realize the amount of reckless activity son Bieber has fallen into during the last couple of years. However, Mallette responded very causally allowing fans to know that she is aware of her son’s choices. Mallette continues to empower audiences through her motivational speaking and philanthropy. She recently connected with organizations to spread her message.

Kim Kardashian Net Worth

Kim Kardashian doesn't have any talent, but she is beautiful. Kim Kardashian's net worth is $28 million and counting. Kimberly is 33 years old and all she does is hawk her many products and make paid appearances all over the world. Must be nice.

According to the highly respected publication, Forbes, Kim is ranked above Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow, J. K. Rowling and many other household names of celebrities that have talent. The reason why Kim tops so many others is because she's a headline maker with a massive social media following. 

Kardashian makes most of her funds "from showing up at club and shop openings, parties or events," according to Forbes. Kim's clothing line, makeup line and Dash clothing stores also add zeros to her bank account. If you aren't jealous yet, Kim makes a lot of money from paid promotion on her social media accounts. Kris Jenner is the devil, arguably, but her cut throat money hungry ways have helped her children to make millions and millions of dollars!

He moved from St. Louis to New York when he was 25 years old. He worked as a journalist at CBS, establishing a well respected career, before creating low brow programming for Bravo. The Real Housewives franchise is Cohen's brain child, as well as Million Dollar Listing, Top Chef and more.

Andrew Cohen majored in Broadcast journalism at Boston University. Serving as senior producer of "The Early Show," Andy was making a salary of $110,000 a year. Not bad!

In 2002, Andy was hired to rebrand the Bravo network. He focused on pop culture and reality shows instead of film, arts and adult content. Cohen's initial salary was $350,000 plus bonuses and incentives based upon the network's ratings.

In 2010, Andy launched his "Watch What Happens Live" talk show. His guests reveal all to the personable host. Andy's interview excerpts tend to make headline news at least a few times each month. He's penned his first book, "Most Talkative," and is currently working on a second book.

Kandi Burruss Net Worth

Kandi Burruss' net worth is a head-turning $35 million! Kandi Burruss gained notoriety as a teenager when she was a member of a successful girl group Xscape. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star won a Grammy for her exceptional song writing skills.
Burruss penned TLC megahit "No Scrubs," Destiny's Child's ""Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Bug a Boo". Kandi's roster of A-list talent she's written for doesn't stop there. Kandi has written songs for Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Usher, Whitney Houston and many many more!

Although Kandi is a great songwriter and a strong singer, her albums haven't sold well. Bloop. I don't know why either. But don't feel sorry for Ms. Kandi. She's the CEO of Bedroom Kandi, a sex toy line that has been immensely successful. She has also launched her own chain of retail boutique stores named Tags. Three locations are in Georgia and a fourth location is in Las Vegas.

Nik Richie Net Worth

Nik Richie, real name Hooman Abedi Karamian, is the founder of The Dirty, one of the most popular websites online. Nik Richie's net worth is $10 million, reportedly, but I believe he has a few millions more.
Born in Hakensack New Jersey on February 12, 1979, Hooman lived in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is where he decided to create a website where people could talk trash about civilians. Celebrities are targets because of their fame, but do everyday, non-famous people deserve the same harsh insults? Nik believes that they do.

Nik Richie didn't want the public to know that he's the person behind the controversial website, but his name was revealed when he got a DUI in Scottsdale. People say that The Dirty is a breeding ground for cyber bullying (it is), and Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil have interrogated him about whether or not he has a functioning moral compass.

Hooman's website has broken many scandalous stories like Ashton Kutcher's affair, Carrie Prejean's topless photos, Kobe Bryant's affair and more. In 2010 he married blonde airhead Shayne Lamas after knowing her for 24 hours. The dysfunctional company appeared on Couples Therapy where they appeared to be miserable together.

The couple is still married today and they have one daughter together. Shayne almost died when she got pregnant a second time and she had a hysterectomy to save her life. Some people said Nik's misfortune was "karma." That's just as harsh as the criticism he dishes out on a daily basis. Karma indeed?

Perez Hilton Net Worth

Perez Hilton, real name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., is worth much more than you would think. Perez Hilton's net worth is $37.2 million, according to Forbes. Mario was born on March 23, 1978 in Miami, Florida.
Raised by two Cuban parents, the bilingual celebrity blogger's father died when he was only 11 years old. Mario earned a BFA in Drama from the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and later worked for GLAAD and wrote content for gay magazines. Most notably, Perez was the managing editor of Instinct magazine, a gay publication.

Perez moved to LA and launched his website, under the title page666, in 2004. The New York Post sued Perez over his blog title, which launched him into the celebrity gossip stratosphere. He was officially on the map and his site's traffic began to climb.

Many celebrities despise Hilton and the gay community loathes him, allegedly. He used to out gay celebs and he called Will.i.am a faggot, which got him punched in the face. The controversial attention whore has moved to New York to have sex, essentially. Perez said that he moved to the East Coast for dating. Clearly, Perez is living right where he's supposed to be. He attends a play or concert every single night - and most people know Perez lives for good music and strong performances.

Say whatever you'd like about Perez, but he has put many musicians and celebrities on the map and he has helped the world to understand that bloggers aren't boring and the profession can be lucrative and deserves to be respected. Many bloggers want to be famous, but there will only be one Perez Hilton, the man who inspired many to pursue their dreams and begin a website of their own.

Does that include paychecks from Bravo? Carroll may not be "cashing Trump checks" but he is making big money. We're jealous.
