From "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell to "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen, ET knows who topped the Forbes.com list of prime time's top earning males.
In the words of supermodel and "Project Runway" host HEIDI KLUM: In fashion, one day you're in and the next you're out. One could say the same about Forbes.com's 2008 list of the World's Top-Earning Models. Some beauties moved up, some down, some off, a few on.
Some recording artists toil for years without ever scoring a big hit. Then there's the fortunate few who skip all the dues-paying hardships and skyrocket straight to stardom. That pretty much sums up the experience of SEAN KINGSTON, COLBIE CAILLAT, FLO RIDA and other new music acts on our list of music's hottest new stars.
Last spring's cover of New York Magazine featuring STEVE JOBS was largely unremarkable, yet another glossy gusher about Apple and its founder. But beneath the trippy technicolor close-up of the face that launched millions of iPods read the simple, big-bullet headline: iGod.
On-screen pairings are a fickle science. The right chemistry lulls audiences into buying even the most absurd plot lines. (JULIA ROBERTS' hooker with a heart of gold in 'Pretty Woman' comes to mind.) The wrong formulation ('Bonfire of the Vanities,' 'Gigli') guarantees box office lead.
In addition to his collection of All-Star MVP and Rookie of the Year titles, LEBRON JAMES, the likable forward for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, can cram another honorific on his crowded mantelpiece. King James -- as he is known by his army of fans -- tops Forbes' 20 Under 25 list of the Top-Earning Young Superstars, thanks to the $27 million he banked between June 2006 and June 2007.
Between promotional junkets, film festivals and red-carpet appearances, celebrities can rack up as many frequent-flier miles as they do trips to rehab.
OPRAH WINFREY's empire includes a hit show, a magazine, radio series and a Broadway musical. It's no wonder when you poll the public to see which celebrities wield the most influence, she tops the list.

Teenage girls copy PARIS HILTON's personal style. Thirtysomething women look to SARAH JESSICA PARKER for fashion advice. Guys in their 20s envy USHER's charisma.
But do even the most die-hard fans really want to smell like their favorite celebs?
One billion dollars is no longer enough. The price of admission to this, the 25th anniversary edition of the Forbes 400, is $1.3 billion, up $300 million from last year. The collective net worth of America's plutocrats rose $290 billion to $1.54 trillion.
While famous faces like OPRAH WINFREY, DIANE SAWYER and KATIE COURIC make the grade, this year's annual Forbes ranking of the world's most powerful shows us how women in government and the world of business are leading the way in a diverse collection of amazing women from across the globe.
The World's Most Powerful Women

If you ever doubted whether GISELE BÜNDCHEN was still the queen of the catwalk, just take a look at this year's Forbes Celebrity 100 list, on stands now.
The leggy model made it to No. 53 on the iconic inventory of stars' incomes, raking in a whopping $33 million last year, and making her the highest-paid stomper in the industry.
Oscar winner and sometime "Sexiest Man Alive" star GEORGE CLOONEY has another accolade to add to his resumé: the star makes his first appearance on Forbes magazine's "Celebrity 100" list, on stands Friday.
The star debuts at number 40 on the list, and this weekend's box office take of $37.1 million for 'Ocean's Thirteen' proves he belongs.
