Yes, J.Lo is beautiful. Yes, the visuals are beautiful. Yes, my cat is beautiful. Yes, I'm going to take a nap now.
P.S. Where the hell is Lil Wayne? He shot scenes for this snoozefest, no?

Hip Hop’s High Earners
Forbes magazine released their annual list of the 20 top earners in Hip Hop last year. With combined earnings of over $220 million in the top ten alone, it’s plain to see that the global economic meltdown and the changes in the way we purchase our music (why buy an album when you can download the few tracks you actually like) did little to stifle their ability to rake in the almighty dollar.
As we reported in this post on high earning supermodels, the key to longevity is simple. Diversify! Why do one thing when you can do 5?
1. Jay Z
Shawn Carter brought home $63 million last year thanks to his album The Blueprint 3 and subsequent tour, investment in nightclub 40/40 and his stake in the New Jersey Nets basketball team. He boasted in hit Oh My God ‘What you call money, I pay more in taxes’ – he wasn’t kidding! Only our number 2 earned more than his tax bill! Still, he can’t get too big for his boots – wifey Beyonce earned more than him with $87 million.
Their joint income is just more than the GDP of Kiribati, a small island in the Pacific.
2. Diddy (or Puffy or P Diddy or whichever moniker he’s using now)
Sean John made a respectable $30 million thanks to his clothing line, Bad Boy Records and album Last Train to Paris. Movie appearances mean that figure stands to rise in 2011.
3. Akon - $21M
Senegalese-American Aliuane Thiam pulled in $21m from Konvict Clothing, his Pepsi soccer ad campaign and record label Kon Live which is home to cash cow Lady Gaga. Touring was a money spinner as will be new album Stadium Music.
4. Lil Wayne
Not even prison could stop Dwayne Carter. Before being sentenced in March he released album Rebirth, toured and made various guest appearances. Will be able to spend his $20 million soon.
5. Dr Dre
Despite not putting out any new material in 2010, Andre Young still earned $17 million from rights to classics like The Chronic, his Beats by Dr Dre headphones and executive producing Eminem’s The Recovery.
Looks like hip hop is one area that brown skinned men are successfully monopolising. And monetising!

Jennifer Lopez's New Single "I'm Into You" Doesn't Exactly Suck, Either
And now we have "I'm Into You," which, despite the lyrically uninspired rap from Lil Wayne, somehow doesn't exactly make me want to force a rusty railroad tie into the front of my skull either.
Below is the official 30-second tease of the song. I'd post the full thing, but it's been getting yanked down left and right all day.
"I'm Into You" will be tossed onto iTunes next week (April 5). A press release issued today notes that Love? (out May 3) features production work by RedOne, Stargate, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Danja, D-Mile and Radio.
In addition to "Invading My Mind, Lady Gaga co-wrote the song "Hypnotico" for the album.
