Jay-Z performs at Dodgers stadium in Phoenix, AZ

Popular financial gurus Forbes has released yet another list. Their previous list featured Beyonce perched at the top, earning a staggering $87 million in one 12-month period.

Fellow NY rapper Diddy came in right behind Hov with $30 million in the bank, with Chicago rapper Kanye West following behind with $25 million. Continue reading to see who made the top 10!

50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson & Chase Crawford on the set of Twelve in NYC (Apr. 27th 2009)

Check out these new photos of 50 Cent getting his acting on as “Curtis Jackson” with Chase Crawford on the set of Twelve in Manhattan’s Upper East Side Monday afternoon in New York. According to IMDB, Twelve is about a young drug dealer who watches as his high-rolling life is dismantled in the wake of his cousin’s murder, which sees his best friend arrested for the crime.

No word on who Curtis will be playing in the flick but if we had to guess, we’d say he’s the drug dealer guy. But we could be wrong. Dead wrong. He could be playing some inspirational or prolific role like a detective … or a police officer. Who knows?

50 Cent for KING Magazine

It’s being reported that rapper 50 Cent has replaced legendary actor Forest Whitaker in Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming all-star cast film “The Expendables.” Whitaker reportedly had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

According to Sly’s letter sent to AintItCool.com, though there are some who are displeased over 50 Cent’s taking over the role, he’s sticking with the decision. He wrote, “Trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one.”

“Nobody wanted Eric Roberts over Ben Kingsley, but I believe it’s a vastly improved cast. The point is, you either believe in me and the project, setting your personal feelings aside, or you take a darker approach, which really serves no purpose since your insight and suggestions and overall are a great thrill for me to behold everyday I sign on.”

50 Cent for KING Magazine 50 Cent for KING Magazine

Your boy 50 Cent is running off at the mouth again, but this time we kind of agree with him. But don’t tell anyone we said that! In a recent interview with KING magazine, the Jamaica Queens bred rapper said that even though Diddy hasn’t made a hit record in years, he somehow manages to maintain his relevancy within the hip-hop culture.

Who has the best model for staying relevant to fans?
Puffy has the best model for staying relevant, because [he does it] without a song. He’s been able to maintain an interest and stay in a space to executive produce television and film projects, and stay relevant to hip-hop culture. What was the last record that made you feel like, ‘Oh, my God, Puffy is on fire’? You don’t need it. That’s what makes his business model exciting to me. There are only three of us to look at: Jay, [me] and Puff. [We have] three totally different situations. We’ve just been a part of hip-hop culture. That’s the similarity. I still think they’ll be relevant. I just think they’re like the fire hydrant: You can’t move those guys out of the street. I think they’ll [still] be the guys you need to connect with [to] get a shot.
