Leonardo DiCaprio is in Di money


LEONARDO DiCaprio has topped the list of Hollywood's highest paid actors for the first time.

He earned £47million from box office hits Inception and Shutter Island, from which he picked up a slice of the profits.
The 36-year-old heart-throb toppled Johnny Depp from the top spot.
But Depp still came second with earnings of £30million in the year ending May.
Comic Adam Sandler was third on the annual list from Forbes magazine.
Only the top ten are revealed - and there was no place for Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, the sole Brit to make it in recent years.

2 in dock over £40k Theo raid


TWO burglars ransacked soccer star Theo Walcott's family home while he played in a Champions League match, a court heard yesterday.

They nicked £40,000-worth of loot including jewellery and a computer, it was said.
And they used car keys found in the £1.8million property to steal the Arsenal winger's VW Golf, jurors were told.
The raid in Fenden, Herts, came as Walcott helped the Gunners beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Emirates stadium in February.
The player's company director dad Donald, mum Lynn and brother Ashley were at the game.
Locals Kevin Wood, 32, and Ryan Lee, 23, deny burglary. Trial continues at Luton Crown Court.

Rihanna Strips In Barbados


Rihanna showed off her assets Monday (August 1) while she was on her home island of Barbados engaging in some festive activities.
The 23-year-old superstar entertainer, who just wrapped her North American Loud tour last week, took part in a Kadooment Day Parade and dressed the part.
The girl once known for wearing baggy jeans and crop tops when she first popped on the scene stripped down to a barely-there red bikini decorated with jewels and donned a matching feathery headdress.
By her side was her longtime friend Melissa, who also celebrated the occasion by dressing in a gold ensemble.
One male fan even had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with Rihanna as he bent the fiesty performer down in front of him to dance provocatively in back of her.
Before taking part in the parade, Rihanna shared her love for Barbados via Twitter. “My home, my country, my people….BARBADOS!!! #1LOVE #SWEETfahDAYS NOTHIN’ BETTER! #RihannaNavy Miss u guys tho,” the red-haired ‘Cheers’ singer wrote.
Rihanna took part in Kadooment Day to celebrate the ancient tradition of people masquerading in clothing of natural materials after giving the first grown crops to the gods for good luck.
Kadooment Day is a public holiday in Barbados, which takes place during the Crop Over Festival. The event rejoices the end of the sugar cane crop harvest.
