Wednesday Roundup
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey once again topped Forbes magazine's list of highest paid celebrities, having earned over 165 million in 2011-12. While her talk show may be history, her empire rolls along. Film director Steven Spielberg and rapper/producer Dr Dre also made the list. The ladies of "Love &Hip Hop: Atlanta" don't seem to be faring as well. It appears that the cast member who's earned the most is Ms self-sufficient, MiMi. More fallout from the Prince Harry nude photos scandal. Now, eyewitnesses are saying there was cocaine in the hotel room where the Prince stayed. They didn't say the Prince used the drug, they only confirm that it was present, along with alchol as well. We'll have to wait a little longer to hear from Evelyn Lozada regarding the infamous heading-butting incident between she and soon to be ex-husband Chad Johnson. Lozada had agreed to an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, but Roberts had to back out due to health issues. We'll see what happens. It looks like rapper Beanie Sigel, who was on his way to prison for tax evasion, couldn't wait to get there. The Philadelphia MC was arrested this morning on I-95 in Delaware County after a car he was riding in was pulled over and found to contain illicit drugs and a firearm. Authorities pulled the vehicle, a Ford Fusion, when they noticed it driving erratically. The driver, Gerald Andrews, was found to have several prescription pills and a small amount of marijuana on his person. Sigel, in the passenger seat, was found to be carrying $4,650 in cash, a bottle of codeine syrup with a scratched off label and prescription pills in a plastic bag. Police found the gun in the car's center console. Since both men are convicted felons, it's a felony for either to be in possession of a firearm. Both men were transferred to a holding cell to be processed and arraigned. Sigel is due to begin serving an unrelated two-year prison sentence in September for failure to pay more than $728,000 in taxes since 2009. On the tube: "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, "Big Brother" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and 'America's Got Talent" on NBC. Happy hump day!
