Madonna tops Forbes’ richest celebrities list, beats Steven Spielberg

Madonna’s last album may not have been as big a hit as she hoped, but her international tour to support the album was such a massive success that the Material Girl was named the top earning celebrity for 2013 by Forbes magazine. The magazine  said that the “Like A Virgin” singer earned $125 million, mostly from the tour to support  MDNA . By featuring her familiar hits, Madonna was able to draw fans who were far more interested in hearing “Vogue” live again than hearing “Give Me All Your Luvin.” The tour grossed $305 million, helping Madonna earn $125 million herself between June 2012 and June 2013. Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg holds the No. 2 spot with $100 million. Most of it comes from earnings through past hits like Jaws  and  E.T. , but the prolific filmmaker still produces box office hits, like last year’s  Lincoln . He’s also earning money through TV hits like CBS’  Under The Dome . E.L. James, Howard Stern and Simon Cowell all tied for third with $95 millio

Madonna and daughter have heart-to-heart chat

Madonna  — who’s made headlines for her bizarre gold tooth grill, with 24 diamonds, while in Rome to prep her gym, Hard Candy, for an October opening there — was spotted having a heart-to-heart chat with teen daughter  Lourdes . “After a day of inspecting progress on [the gym], Madonna and Lourdes had a night out,” said a spy who saw the pair at restaurant Antica Pesa. “They were both in head-to-toe black, and in deep conversation,” we’re told. No word if M took out her gold teeth to eat.
