Beyonce and Shakira are among the world's 100 most powerful women, according to a new Forbes list.  The magazine ranked female leaders in politics, entertainment and philanthropy by their earnings, media momentum and impact.  Beyonce was ranked at number 17, making her the second most powerful woman in entertainment behind Oprah Winfrey. 

The star is up from number 32 in 2012, and has earned $40 million dollars as of May 2012.  In Beyonce's profile, "Forbes" writes about one possible reason for the jump - the $50 million dollar contract she signed with Pepsi. 

Colombian superstar Shakira also made it on the list at number 52.  The magazine credited her with helping to boost the ratings of NBC's "The Voice" as a new judge, and also praised her work as a longtime UNICEF ambassador.  

Other celebrities who made the list include actress and activist Angelina Jolie, model Gisele Bundchen and "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara.

Listen to Rita Ora on iHeartRadio

Rita Ora took the plunge…into a vat of blue hair dye.

The normally bleach blonde Brit singer had a serious Katy Perry moment today, tweeting “Today it’s smurf day  ” and posting this picture:

How long will her blue period last? Well, she used the hashtag #bluehairday, which implies it has a 24 hour expiration date. Too bad—we kinda think it’s smurftastic.

What do you think of the new ‘do? Don’t?

People have been complaining about the unknown whereabouts of Beyonce’s elusive fifth studio album since the Super Bowl, but the wait for Bey’s next disc is nothing compared to the saga of Paris Hilton’s sophomore album. The follow up to 2006′s Paris (which shifted 200,000 copies in the States and actually managed to produce a genuine hit in “Stars Are Blind”) was first “finished” way back in 2008, but here we are, half way through 2013, and the album is still nowhere to be seen.

In the past five years, Hilton’s dropped a few random songs here and there (like the Afrojack-produced “Last Night” and the legendary “Drunk Text”), and last year she even launched an ill-fated career as a DJ. Every so often, she usually tells some random reporter that her new album is “coming soon,” before slinking back to her busy life.

The latest update in the search for Hilton’s musical comeback comes from showbiz reporter, Roger Friedman, who bumped into the original Kim Kardashian at a party in France (where else?). According to Friedman, Paris talked about the sound of her sophomore effort (“It’s a lot different than my first album,” she said. “It’s really going to be house music.”), revealed that she’s returning to DJing with a residency in Ibiza this summer, and most interesting of all, said that her new album will be released through Birdman’s Cash Money records.

Does this mean that Hilton has officially joined the Young Money / Cash Money family? We don’t know, but she did recently star as a jewel thief in Rich Gang’s hilariously great “Tapout” music video, right alongside Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Wayne, Birdman, and Christina Milian.

(TMZ) - Just how over the top were Kim Kardashian's music-box baby shower invitations? Really, really, really over the top - and TMZ has the first photo proof. 

According to TMZ, the invite to Kim K's June 2nd bash - sent to a guest close to Kanye West - arrived as a fully functional music box, complete with a spinning ballerina, dancing to a lullaby version of Kanye's "Hey Mama." 

Not only is the invite playing the baby daddy's tune, but the ballerina bears a striking resemblance to Kim herself - just in case anyone forgets who this party is REALLY celebrating. 

TMZ reports that according to the invites, Kris Jenner, Shelli Azoff (wife of uber-manager Irving Azoff), Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are hosting the party. Recommended attire - garden chic. We think that's rich people speak for casual. 

Now here's the "Hey Mama" lullaby - listen and pretend like you were invited.

Listen to Will Smith on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio

Kanye West wants Will Smith to re-enter the hip-hop world.  Smith tells HipHollywood.com Kanye has been "pushing" him to get back into rap music.  In fact, the two have even been in the studio together "a couple of times." 

Smith admits that he may get the "bug" to put out new music, but says he won't do it unless he's "truly inspired." 

While Smith has put out four solo albums, he has not released a new record since 2005's Lost and Found.  Featuring collaborations with Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Robin Thicke, the album went on to earn a gold certification.  The album's lead single "Switch" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.  

Will Smith and his son Jaden are gearing up to star in the upcoming film "After Earth," which hits theaters on May 31st.  Zoe Kravitz and Isabelle Furhman also star in the film.  

If he gets back into rap, does that mean we can expect more of this?! Please say YES!
