So the decison by Emporio Armani to replace British beauty Victoria Beckham with the "Tranformers" star as the new face of their underwear and jeans ads was just perfect in the eyes of many.

For the second consecutive year, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been named Forbes’ top-earning couple in entertainment. The duo combined to earn $122 million between July 2008 and July 2009, beating out Hollywood power pairs like Brangelina, the Beckhams and TomKat. While Jigga carried the financial weight in their relationship by a narrow margin on the Forbes’ inaugural list last year, Beyoncé easily out-earned her husband this time around, grossing $87 million to Jay-Z’s $35 million. On last year’s list, when Jay-Z’s 360 deal with Live Nation was factored in, the pair earned $162 million, with Jay pulling in $82 million.
Combined, Jay-Z and Beyoncé nearly doubled the amount earned by Forbes’ Number Two couple, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, who Forbes reports made $67 million thanks largely to Ford’s $65 million paycheck for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came in third, while a pair of technically semi-retired music artists and their respective partners, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith and Victoria and David Beckham, came in fourth and fifth.
Other music-related couples to make the list include Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, who combined for $33 million, new Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi with $36 million and “the Jay-Z and Beyoncé of country music,” Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Anthony Gonzalez, former manager of the rap duo Clipse, was sentenced Monday to 32 years in prison after admitting his role as the leader of a $20 million drug ring .
Gonzalez, who goes by “Tony” or “Geezy,” received the minimum sentence under federal guidelines, based in part on his cooperation with the government, a relatively minor criminal record and a swell of family and community support.
Gonzalez, 34, admitted running the organization chiefly from the Virginia Beach nightclub Encore Lounge, now closed. The ring has been linked to one-time Olympic gold medalist Tim Montgomery, as well as former Bloods gang leader Marlon Reed.
Gonzalez apologized before he was led away.
Anthony Gonzalez
“I just want to say that I’m sorry to my family and I’m sorry to the community,” he told U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Friedman.
Prosecutors said that in a five-year period, Gonzalez was responsible for distributing more than a half-ton of cocaine, a ton of marijuana and hundreds of pounds of heroin throughout the region. Authorities initially had estimated Gonzalez’s drug operation as having a gross worth of $10 million but now say that figure should be doubled.
“These are obviously staggering amounts of drugs,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Darryl Mitchell told the judge. “One can only imagine what that’s done to the community.”
Gonzalez made millions from his drug enterprise, according to court records, but now has a “negative net worth,” according to the judge, who didn’t impose a fine.
But Gonzalez lived large while he was free, staying at five-star resorts and buying luxury cars and homes.
His attorney, Lawrence H. Woodward Jr., described Gonzalez as an intelligent individual who could have been successful without dealing drugs.
“It’s always puzzling and sad when someone with that ability doesn’t use it for constructive purposes,” Woodward said.
He added that Gonzalez knew before his arrest that one day soon he’d end up dead or in prison. He was living “a bad dream that he couldn’t find a way out of,” Woodward said.
The judge even seemed puzzled by Gonzalez’s recklessness.
“It’s hard for me to imagine it’s the same person,” Friedman said, comparing Gonzalez’s background and letters of support with his drug activities.
About 40 supporters packed the courtroom.
“We love you,” some shouted as Gonzalez was led away in handcuffs.
Gonzalez could in the future get his sentence reduced based on his cooperation

In the wake of the Tuesday's devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, singer Wyclef Jean has issued an urgent plea for help for his struggling homeland.
"Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced," Jean wrote on his Web site of the island nation, which is one of the most impoverished countries in the Western Hemisphere.
The massive earthquake, the largest the Caribbean island has seen in more than 200 years, struck around 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday. The epicenter was around 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince, which according to reports was largely destroyed by the initial quake and a series of aftershocks. While damage and casualty figures were not available at press time, they are expected to be high due to the poor construction of many of the island's buildings.
"I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse," Wyclef continued. "The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now. President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands 'ready to assist' the Haitian people. The U.S. military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible."
Jean established the non-profit Yele Haiti Foundation in 2004 to provide scholarships for the country's children, and he has worked with the United Nations World Food Programme to send food assistance to the island. He is encouraging people to text "Yele" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund or visit Yele.org and click "donate" to help the island's people.
Speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night, Wyclef said he was talking to a friend on the phone in Haiti when she said, "I think an earthquake is coming," and the call was dropped. More than 45 minutes later, he got a return text from that friend, who said the buildings were collapsing all around her. He said he was also looking for information on a rapper named Jimmy O, who is a part of the Yele organization, and who is believed to have died in the quake.
The earthquake is the latest disaster to strike the island nation, which has endured decades of economic instability, poverty, the reigns of several vicious dictators and a string of hurricanes and other natural disasters that have kept it in need of massive amounts of world aid. Jean urged his fellow 4 million Haitians in the diaspora to step up and help their countrymen. "My urgency right now is really a cry of freedom saying we really need a state of emergency right now."
According to reports, the presidential palace and other major buildings in the capital city were destroyed in the quake. Chaos reigned as night fell on Tuesday, and trapped victims screamed for help from the rubble. With no electricity, phone lines down and the airport closed, getting much-needed aid to the people became a priority for the international community, which was scrambling to fly in supplies.
President Obama told members of his national security staff late Tuesday that he expects, "an aggressive, coordinated effort" to help Haiti, according to The Associated Press. The president said teams from the Defense, State and Homeland Security departments had deployed on Wednesday (January 13) to start helping victims.
Former President Bill Clinton, a U.N. special envoy for Haiti, said in a statement: "My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti. My U.N. office and the rest of the U.N. system are monitoring the situation, and we are committed to do whatever we can to assist the people of Haiti in their relief, rebuilding and recovery efforts."
The State Department has set up a toll-free number to call for information about family member in Haiti: 1-888-407-4747.

This is not surprising, but we thought we'd let you know anyway: Dr. Dre's long-delayed Detox album isn't dropping this year.
The good doctor has been teasing fans nearly every year by saying the mythical album was close to being finished, only to let them down. With nearly 10 years in the can for the project, it still has no release date in sight.
During recent interview for SLAM magazine, Dre was asked about Detox, to which he replied: "Well, I'm working on it, but also I've been working on other people's projects; you'll probably hear something in a year or so."
So, does this mean 2011 now? Damn!! We won't hold our breath.
Dre is always asked what the status of Detox is. Back in November, while appearing for an in-store media conference in support of his Beats By Dre headphones, he explains why all the delays saying he has to feel "right" about it before he'll let the public hear it.
"You know what, I'm working hard on it man," he promised during the in-store. "I'm going and I'm stopping, I'm working with other artists in-between and what have you, but I'm working hard on it and the minute it's done and I feel it right here [in my chest] and it feels right to me, that's when it'll come out. And you know, hopefully at the beginning of the year."

Producer Shawty Redd, who is charged with the New Year's Day murder of 35-year-old Damon Martin, was released from jail on Tuesday (January 12), according to Captain Jason Bolton of the Henry County (Georgia) Police and a representative for the Henry County Superior Court Clerk. The producer (real name: Demetrius Lee Stewart), who has worked with Snoop Dogg and Young Jeezy, had his bail set at $200,000 at a hearing on Tuesday afternoon, the authorities said, and was given clear instructions not to leave Henry County and to wear an ankle bracelet.
Redd has a preliminary hearing tentatively set for February 3. At press time, his attorney, Marcia Fuller, had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment.
Redd was arrested on January 1 after police responded to a call about an early morning shooting at Stewart's home in Hampton, Georgia. According to police, the producer was involved in a physical altercation at his home with Martin, who was described as an "acquaintance." The confrontation turned physical and Stewart shot and killed Martin, according to the report. Bolton told MTV News that Stewart himself called 911 to alert police about the shooting. Bolton also said Stewart was arrested a few hours later at police headquarters after more questioning by detectives.
Stewart appeared in court on Saturday without his attorney, and was granted another hearing to allow him legal representation. He remained in custody until Tuesday afternoon.
"I really couldn't believe it," one of Redd's peers, producer Zaytoven, told MTV News last week. "You hear a lot of rappers going through that type of trouble, but a producer? That's my first time hearing that. I was just shocked.

Capone-N-Noreaga are getting back to the grimy hip-hop of their 1997 classic, The War Report, on their upcoming new album, N.O.R.E. promised.
"We had the idea for the War Report [sequel]," Nore said via phone from Miami last week. "We was actually calling it Report the War. We was gonna do all the songs [from The War Report] in a backwards order. Like call a song 'Money Blood' instead of 'Bloody Money.' Instead of 'Illegal Life,' we would do 'Life Illegal,' so on and so forth. It was gonna be everything but backwards. Then what happened was, as we started to record for The War Report 2, I didn't want to force it. I didn't want to force calling a record 'Money Blood' if it wasn't that. The sh-- started flowing. You don't go to the ocean and say, 'The waves is flowing this way, but I wanna try to force the waves to go this way.' You don't do that. So the way we was recording it, I was like, 'I can't mess with Mother Nature.' It's flowing perfectly. We went and got Imam Thug, a person from the original. We got Mussolini. Tragedy [Khadafi] is on the album. As you know, he's incarcerated. But we got a couple of verses, and he'll appear on the skits. Then we gonna get some new features. I ain't gonna say who, 'cause it should be a surprise."
Definitely expect Busta Rhymes, who is executive-producing the album (tentatively due April 20), as well as Raekwon, who's helping the Queens duo put out the project in partnership with his Ice H20 imprint.
"It was crazy, because I had a deal with the company [Raekwon is] dealing with," Nore said of EMI. "The crazy thing is, he heard about it. His brother K, Kareem, reached out to me and said, 'Why don't we do it as a team?' I was with it. But I said, 'If we gonna do it like that, we might as well bring it back full-circle, C-N-N. Not a Nore solo.' So right now, I'm not even recording Nore records. I got some big-time producers calling with beats, and I tell them, 'Not right now. I'm chilling.' I don't want to record a party record. I don't even want to be near a party. That's not what C-N-N represented. It represented the gutter. If the records could be played in a party, then good. But big-up Rae and the whole Ice Water. Mel, K, everybody. We gonna execute the plan."
Rae also appears on the track "Dutch Masters vs. Phillies," a debate over cigar brands. "I'm a Phillie guy; Rae is a Phillie guy too," Nore said. "I can't believe he was repping Dutch Masters.
"Rae set the platform for everybody to go back in and do their art," Nore continued, referencing the success of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ... Pt. II. "Busta is going back in and doing his E.L.E. [2]. Fat Joe is doing Darkside. I don't think I ever been this focused in my whole career. I don't wanna f--- up the War Report legacy. I'm taking it too serious. I'm taking it real serious, because The War Report has its own following, its own legacy. I don't want to take anything away from that. I think we're making a helluva album. Maybe even better than The War Report. I know that's a lot to say, but wait until you hear it."
Capone-N-Noreaga's last LP, Channel 10, came out in the spring of last year. Since then, they've been recording and out on the road, touring by themselves and with Raekwon.

One of the most feared Mexican drug lords - a man who dissolved more than 300 people in acid and signed his name with headless corpses - was nabbed Tuesday.
It was a huge win for the often-overmatched Tijuana cops warring with the increasingly savage cartels. Teodoro (El Teo) Garcia Simental was arrested in La Paz, officials said.
Details were not immediately available. Garcia is blamed for much of the border bloodshed and had a $2.1 million price on his head.
Authorities say he runs a massive kidnapping ring, holding victims in cages, and is behind an explosion of violence that has littered Tijuana with an average of five bodies a day.
Last week, a kidnap victim was found with his face sliced off and stitched onto a football, with a note directed at police saying, "Happy New Year, because it will be your last."
Last January, Santiago Meza, known as Garcia's "stew maker," was arrested and told reporters he was paid $600 a week to dissolve corpses - at least 300 over 10 years.
The Los Angeles Times, which closely follows the border drug wars, reported that Garcia often left the disintegrated remains in barrels on busy streets with messages threatening to turn his rivals into pozole, a thick Mexican soup.
He is a mystery man. His birth date is unknown - he is in his 30s - and only one photo of him has ever been published. He started out as an enforcer in the Arellano Felix cartel and grew powerful by turning the kidnapping of doctors, politicians and businessmen into a multimillion-dollar industry, the LA Times reported.
He split dramatically with the cartel in 2008 - a shootout on a Tijuana expressway left 14 dead.
Since then, his reign of terror has included slicing off the face of one victim, hanging others from highway overpasses and Many of the bodies carry messages boasting they are Garcia's work.
The Mexican gangs are the major supplier of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroine to the United States.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon launched his offensive against the cartels in December 2006, which escalated into the increasingly gruesome war.
More than 15,000 people have been killed and many of the victims were tortured or mutilated to send a message to police and rival gangs.
Police have been killed, and their families murdered.
In October 2008, the corpses of three decapitated police officers were arranged along with six other headless bodies to spell "3 L" - Garcia's nickname: "Tres Letras."
Garcia's arrest is the second major victory for the government in a month. Drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva died in a military shootout in December.

A federal police officer stands guard at the crime scene where a woman was killed in Ciudad Juarez.
MEXICO CITY — Mexico opened the new year with what could be its most dubious distinction yet in the 3-year-old battle against drug trafficking — 69 murders in one day.
The country resembled a grim, statistical dart board Saturday as law enforcement and media reported the deaths from various regions, including 26 in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, 13 in and around Mexico City and 10 in the northern city of Chihuahua.
More than 6,500 drug-related killings made 2009 the bloodiest year since President Felipe Calderon declared war on the cartels in late 2006 and deployed 45,000 soldiers to fight organized crime, according to death tallies by San Diego’s Trans-Border Institute.
Two weeks into 2010, gang bloodshed is becoming more grotesque as drug lords ramp up their attempts at intimidation. Last week a victim’s face was peeled from his skull and sewn onto a soccer ball.
On Monday, prosecutors in Culiacan identified the remains of 41-year-old former police officer divided into two separate ice chests.
“You wonder how this will end, and it seems impossible,” said Daniel Vega, an architect in the northern city of Monterrey. “I doubt Mexico can override drug use, especially since demand for the drugs, as well as all the money and weapons, come from the United States.”
Using their so-called Narcobarometer, researchers at the University of San Diego’s Trans-Border Institute track and analyze murders in Mexico, hoping to find ways to quell the violence.
Their tally? More than 20,000 murders since 2001, more than half in the past two years.
“It does appear that the violence has grown exponentially, but it’s not clear that it’s necessarily a slippery downward slope from here,” institute director David Shirk said, noting that government operations — including a December raid that killed cartel boss Arturo Beltran Leyva — have hit seven of Mexico’s eight significant cartels.
Shirk said the remaining, mostly unscathed Sinaloa cartel headed by billionaire gang boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman may now become dominant, reducing the deadly power struggles.
“If that happens, it’s quite possible that six months from now things will be much calmer,” Shirk said.
Though almost all of drug-violence victims are somehow involved with cartels, the impact is felt well beyond law enforcement and organized crime. “I’m afraid to take to the streets every day because of the violence, and I no longer want to excel economically because it could make me an easy target for a kidnapping,” said Silvana Cervantes, a Monterrey nurse.
Tijuana resident Fernando Escobedo said he used to spend his evenings at a vibrant strip of clubs in the border city until a recent massacre at one of his hangouts.
“Now I prefer socializing at houses or parties, with family or lifetime friends,” he said.
As Mexico tries to develop both politically and economically, the killings jeopardize its international reputation, said Larry Birns, director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs in Washington. “The figures in Mexico are so scary that it has produced a subliminal sense that Mexico is a dangerous place and you’d better keep away,” he said.
Calderon said last week he would shift focus to job creation and reducing poverty and move the fight against drug cartels that dominated the first half of his presidency to No. 3. Monterrey police officer Delfino Ramos, who grapples with the violence in his daily work, said economic issues are at the root of the problems. “So much unemployment pushes people toward crime,” he said.

You won't be seeing Angelina Jolie in any more St. John ads.
Chief executive officer Glenn McMahon tells Women's Wear Daily that the actress, 34, "overshadowed the brand."
"We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette," he added.
Replacing Jolie? Red-headed model Karen Elson.
Elson, 30, is the wife of White Stripes rocker Jack White, with whom she has two kids.
"We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John," McMahon explained. "We have evolved."
The ads, directed by executive vice president of design George Sharp, will launch in the February issues of Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
News of Jolie's departure as the face of St. John was first announced in June 2008. She had been with the company for three years.
"It was a great run we had," McMahon said at the time. "Three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different."

Hollywood is seeking a new Spider-Man after Sony Pictures made the shock announcement that Tobey Maguire would no longer take the lead role in the £2 billion franchise.
After reports that production on Spider-Man 4 had stalled amid disagreements over the script, Sony said that Maguire, who plays Peter Parker, and Sam Raimi, the director, had both left the film.
Sony said that a new Spider-Man film would appear in 2012 focusing on Parker, a teenager “grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing superhuman crises”. Although Maguire is hugely popular with young filmgoers, he would be 36 by the time the new film was released.
When the first film was released, in 2002, his performance as the student bitten by a genetically modified spider won praise and the opening weekend broke box-office records.
The third film grossed $1 billion and the three films, directed by Raimi, are in the top 25 biggest grossing hits of all time.
Only this week Maguire had said he was looking forward to shooting Spider-Man 4. “We have a lot of great stuff in terms of story and script,” he said. “We’re just trying to dial it in and get it ready as quickly as possible. Of course, these movies are a very big undertaking and take a lot more time than a drama or something more straightforward.”
But the fourth film has been dogged by trouble and is expected to miss a projected release date of May 2011. There were reports that Raimi wanted to cast John Malkovich as a winged, flying baddie, against the wishes of Sony. The studio, it was claimed, wanted a more cute villain who would also be the love interest.
Sony is to release more information on the film in the coming weeks.
Raimi acknowledged that the studio was heading in a “new direction”. Raimi said: “While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel [Spider-Man was created for Marvel Comics in 1962] have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.”
The change gives Sony the opportunity to “reboot” the franchise, following the example of Paramount, which successfully reinvented Star Trek with a young cast last year.
Meanwhile, a Broadway musical based on the Spider-Man character is scheduled to open next month.

The Garden State is set to bloom with weed.
Outgoing Gov. Jon Corzine is expected to sign legislation before leaving office next week making New Jersey the nation's 14th state to legalize medical marijuana.
Legislators approved a law Monday allowing chronically ill patients to buy up to 2 ounces of pot a month at state-monitored dispensaries.
"I don't think we should make criminals out of our very sick and terminally ill," said Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Princeton), co-sponsor of the bill.
Corzine, who supports the legislation, is expected to sign it into law before turning over power to incoming Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor who has voiced concerns over the bill.
The law authorizes the state Department of Health to issue patients with "debilitating medical conditions" like cancer or AIDS the right to legally possess marijuana.
Unlike other states where medical marijuana is legalized, patients will not be allowed to grow their own.
