Shakira and Demi Lovato Top Celebs Gone Good List!

Latinas have been doing a lot of good this year and on top of the DoSomething.org list of Celebs Gone Good Top 20 list are superstars Shakira and Demi Lovato! The Hollywood Reporter reports that part-Mexican singer/actress Lovato and Colombian singer/activist Shakira ranked at numbers 10 and 11 respectively.

Lovato has been advocating for anti-bullying campaigns for years and since she came clean about her own eating disorder issues, she has been a force in educating teens about the harmful effects of that way of life. Shakira has already been honored at the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards as Person of the Year for her work with her own Barefoot Foundation building schools in impoverished South American communities.

Shakira Appointed to President Obama’s Education Advisory Board

Aria Finger, COO of DoSomething.org said there are trends in the list this year. “It's dominated by young celebrities and we also see so many couples.”

The organization used Facebook voting to help determine the ranking of celebrities with a cause. Rather than bestow an honor based on giving money, criteria reqired for making the list included taking action for a cause such as founding a foundation, building houses, or writing articles.

Demi Lovato Returns to Rehab – As Speaker

Finger added that, “There are a handful of other celebrities who just missed the cut-off this year. We look forward to seeing what they will do in 2012.” Among those who almost made the list were part-Mexican singer/actress Selena Gomez.

It’s good to see Latin celebrities making a difference in the world. They’re making us proud!

Lady Gaga's Twitter Account Hacked by Spammers

Sorry, folks: Lady Gaga isn't planning to buy you a new MacBook this Christmas. Despite the fact that she earned about $90 mil this year, she's not buying you a new iPad, either. She's been hacked! Also in music news, Joe Jonas might be partying a little too hard, Justin Bieber asks his fans to respect the ones he loves, Kanye is back on Twitter for the holidays, and Demi Lovato is proud of staying on her feet.

  •  Lady Gaga is the latest star to have her Twitter account hacked, although she should count her lucky stars that her hackers don't appear to have any imagination. Unlike, say, Britney Spears' hacker, who in January 2009 posted, "Hi Yall, Brit Brit here, just wanted to update you all on the size of my vagina. Its about 4 feet wide with razor sharp teeth."

No, Gaga's hackers are just run-of-the-mill spammers. On Monday morning, her account read, "Monsters, I'm giving away FREE iPad2's to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays :) Go to [harmful link redacted] to receive one!"

Hopefully most of Gaga's beloved Little Monsters are tech-savvy enough to use browsers that will prevent them from willfully signing up for virus upon virus, but considering most of them are between the ages of 9 and 19 we're not too optimistic.

•  Joe Jonas might have had some kind of virus on Sunday, as he checked into the emergency room at Los Angeles' Children's Hospital for severe stomach pains. It's unclear whether Joe got a diagnosis, but TMZ hinted Monday that his night at Chicago's Board Room Nightclub on Friday night might have had something to do with it.

Joe seems to have fully recovered from his mystery ailment, however: He recently tweeted, "Hey everyone I'm fine I'm fine :-) thanks for the concern."

  •  Selena Gomez hasn't commented on the "family emergency" that prompted her to cancel a couple of performances over the weekend, but her boyfriend Justin Bieber decided to address some of the rumors about the cancellations indirectly.

On Sunday, the singer tweeted, "blessed and grateful. i love all of u and please show respect to eachother and others that i care about. be there for one another."

  •  Gomez's longtime pal Demi Lovato just wrapped up her tour with a stop in Puerto Rico, and now she's finally cutting loose. On Friday, Lovato exclaimed on Twitter, "I NEVER FELL ONCE ON THIS TOUR!!!!!!!! Hahhahahaha."

But she did tear out some hair extensions and slip a nip or two, so there's that.

Demi also survived her first earthquake without incident, tweeting, "Just felt my first earthquake in a tall building....... Cool."

•  After months of silence, Kanye decided to make a grand return to Twitter... but he's not really saying anything. No, Kanye's just sharing pictures of things he admires, like concept cars and frescoes. Maybe he thinks this approach will prevent people from making fun of him.

This story is much less interesting than the Kanye – Kim K – Kobe Bryant fantasy love triangle everyone's anticipating.

•  Ke$ha's "Sleazy Remix 2.- Get Sleazier" is all kinds of awesome, and she knows it. The dumpster diva explained to MTV News, "These were all kind of on my wish list people to work with in the future. [Producer] Dr. Luke and I had this idea that we wanted to just get them all on one track and make it as gangster of a track as we possibly could. It was kind of a little bit of a mission, and the fact that we pulled it off for Christmas — I'm stoked about it."

Selena Gomez may just be ditching the Biebs for her BFF Demi Lovato on New Year’s Eve.

The Tex Mex pals will be ringing in 2012 in New York City's Times Square for MTV's live special.

MTV said Monday that both are due to perform, along with singer Jason Derülo and rappers J Cole and Mac Miller. The night's festivities will be hosted by Tyler Posey of MTV's "Teen Wolf" and Lovato.

The show will air from MTV's Times Square studios. Fans can bid to be part of the audience. Proceeds will go to the Famine War Drought Relief (FWD), to help with the crisis in East Africa.

Upon Lovato’s exit from rehab (she entered a women's facility for cutting, bulimia and bipolar disorder) Lovato said she made it through thanks to her fans and pal Selena Gomez.

“I feel like there are some people that you’re friends with that talk to you on Twitter or text you,” Lovato said, as reported by entertainment site Billboard.com.

“But, the people that are really there for me are the people that were there for me when I went into treatment.”

Lovato and Gomez go way back. The starlets met on the set of “Barney and Friends” when they were just kids.

“The people that were calling me while I was in there were Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez.,” Lovato added.  “Those two girls, they meant the world to me. They still do.”

Latino Pride Shines at ALMA Awards

In a lively display of achievement and support, Latinos from all walks of the entertainment industry dazzled on the red carpet at last night's ALMA Awards at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

As expected, co-host Eva Longoria outshone George López in a beautiful mermaid strapless dress with an exaggerated tail.  Starlets like Jessica Alba, Marcia Cross, Eva La Rue, Naya Rivera and Demi Lovato added to the night's glamour in floor length gowns.

Power couples Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, Mario López and Courtney Laine Mazza and Maria Canals-Barrera and David Barrera flirted across the carpet alongside Benjamin Bratt, Sophia Milos, David Zayas and Tristan Wilds.

Despite the festive mood, the event, held on the eve of September 11th, spurred stars to recognize the bravery of first responders.  Actor/director Edward James Olmos, commented  "We must try to help all the people who are sick because they went first to try to help when the buildings collapsed. That is my big understanding of what ten years of remembering is all about."

While the night catered to the glitz and glam of entertainment, red carpet chatter turned political as producer, director and screenplay writer Gregory Nava, who received the evening's Outstanding Career Achievement Award for directing, commented on domestic immigration policy.  "The immigration situation has gotten much worse since 9-11. The attack against the undocumented is now an attack against all Latinos," said Nava, "This is an attack on all our culture. We have to know that this is what is happening and we have to fight against this because it is an injustice."

Nava, known for "El Norte" and "Selena," revealed that he finished the script to "Garden of Eden" which will examine our current immigration issues.

Danny Trejo, whose suit jacket was lined with embroidered daggers, rejoiced about what the evening meant to him. "I love being Latino in Los Angeles," said Trejo, "Right now is the time for Latinos. We have moved quite forward in the entertainment industry with people like Robert Rodríguez, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodríguez that have really pushed us in the main stream. We are movie stars, for lack of a better word, but we are out there with all of them and I thank God for that."  

The ALMA Awards, which featured performances from Pitbull and Gloria Estefan, will air on Friday, September 16 from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. EDT on NBC. The Alma Awards are given to Latino entertainers by the NCLR or National Council of La Raza who "promote positive portrayals of Latinos" in the entertainment industry.

Demi Lovato’s Beer Run With Mystery Man

It appears as if Demi Lovato is partying it up for her birthday. The newly rehabbed singer just turned 19 and after some good, clean innocent fun at a bowling alley, Demi and a mystery man stopped at a Los Angeles 7-11 to pick up some Miller Lite!

Sure, she may not be the legal drinking age yet, but her mystery man must be! A source told the MailOnline that “Demi and her friend made sure to get in there right before the alcohol cut-off time. He paid, but they were definitely together. They got into the same car and he drove to Demi’s house with the beer for an afterparty.

I love how they are trying to make it seem like Demi is going off the deep end, looking “worse for wear” as she leaves a bowling alley. Good gawd. The girl JUST left rehab not too long ago. So what if her bra is showing! So what if her hair is all ratty and she can barely walk on those high ass heels! Do you really think she is going to go out and get sloshed and look like a got damn fool in public?

Bitch, please. At least I don’t think she would…

Demi Lovato Will Celebrate Birthday at Kim Kardashian's Wedding

Demi Lovato will be attending what may be the party of the year on her 19th birthday, but the celebration will not be for her. 

The former Disney star turned singer tells Access Hollywood that she will be celebrating her 19th birthday at Kim Kardashian's wedding.

"I'm so excited, [Kim's wedding] falls on my birthday," she tells Access Hollywood about the event, which takes place this Saturday in Montecito. "So, it's going to be my birthday and I get to spend it at Kim's wedding."

The wedding is set for August 20th when the reality star and entrepreneur extraordinaire will marry basketball player Kris Humphries.

Lovato still plans to have her own birthday celebration, and yes, the newly wed Kardashian will be making an appearance.

"She's going to come to my birthday party," Lovato says.

The two most recently showed up together at the 2011 VH1 Do Something Awards on Sunday night.

Besides making a come back with her latest single, Lovato is going strong with her philanthropic initiatives. She is a spokeswoman for Teens Against Bullying, and hopes to help other girls by sharing her experiences with anorexia, bulimia and self- mutilation, issues she has faced since she was 9 years old.

Demi Lovato Reveals Title of Her New Album

Demi Lovato revealed the title of her new album yesterday!  Complete with a countdown, the 18-year-old former Disney star took to Twitter to share the title, Unbroken, with her nearly 4 million followers. It’s a fitting name, given the turbulent year Lovato has had.  The teen star’s past with eating disorders and cutting behavior landed her in a Chicago area rehab center last October.  She was released this spring.

Demi Lovato is ‘Going There’ on New Album



Last month, Lovato announced September 20 as the release date for her new album, which is her third.  Her first single, “Skyscraper,” helped bring the actress/singer to new heights after reaching #1 on iTunes.  Accompanied with yesterday’s tweet of the album’s title was an image of Lovato dolled up on a hill.  The photo was a glimpse of the new album’s art.  We are happy to see Lovato doing so well and can’t wait to see the finalized album art!

Best Dressed: 2011 Teen Choice Awards

Our stars were out in full force for the 2011 Teen Choice awards last night in California, and no, not all of them were 21 and under! Cameron Diaz and Zoe Saldana both attended up to show the youth some love—but, not surprisingly, Selena Gomez dominated the night. Alongside her boyfriend Justin Bieber and her former best friend, Demi Lovato, Gomez looked like she could take on the world!

But she wasn't the only Latina to shine bright. Check out our choices for best dressed at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.

Demi Lovato On Dating Wilmer Valderrama & Punching Alex Welch

Demi Lovato opens up about her juicy relationship with Venezuelan hunk Wilmer Valderrama in Elle magazine’s latest issue.

The former Disney starlet kept “a 13-month on-off relationship with 31-year-old Wilmer Valderrama,” the magazine reported, while she was dealing with her eating and bipolar disorders in rehab.

Lovato also dished about punching her former backup dancer, Alex Welch, last year while on a flight to Perú. The alleged assault happened while she was breaking up with boy band singer Joe Jonas.

“When you punch someone on a plane, enough is enough,” Lovato told Elle, adding that she felt that Welch had “betrayed” her.

“I was completely out of line all summer,” she continued. “Just the worst attitude—totally ungrateful.”

Besides making a come back with her latest single, Lovato is also going strong with her philanthropic initiatives. She is a spokeswoman for Teens Against Bullying, and hopes to help other girls by sharing her experiences with anorexia, bulimia and self- mutilation, issues she has faced since she was 9 years old.

5 Epic Latino Rivalries

Earlier this week, when a judge sided with Jennifer Lopez to block the release of a video by her ex-husband Ojani Noa, another round in the J.Lo vs. Ojani rivalry came to an end, with Lopez as the victor. But Lopez and Noa's rivalry has been going on for 13 years, so we're guessing that this wont be the last time these two square off in court. And watching Noa continue to try and destroy Lopez got us thinking about other epic Latino rivalries in Hollywood. Here are five that are unforgettable.

Daisy Fuentes and Mariah Carey

Here's what went down: While Luis Miguel was dating Daisy Fuentes, the playboy singer cheated on Daisy with Mariah Carey. And in 1998, he also dumped Fuentes, his girlfriend of three years, for Carey. Something tells us Daisy's not a big fan of Mimi's music.

Jennifer Lopez vs. Ojani Noa

They tied the knot in 1997 and untied the same knot 11 months later. Since then, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Ojani Noa have been involved in one of the most bitter rivalries of all-time! In 2006, when Ojani tried to publish a tell-all book about their marriage, Lopez sued him and won over $500,00 in compensatory damages. She sued him again in 2009 for $10 million when he attempted to release a film called How I married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story. Most recently, Noa tried to release a video tape of Lopez as a movie, but last Friday, an appeals court sided with J.Lo and ordered that an invasion of privacy lawsuit she filed against her first husband be handled in arbitration rather than through a public court case. While their latest fight is over, something tells us this rivalry isn't. Talk about unhappily ever after!

Univision vs. Telemundo

Univision's got the hit reality show, Nuestra Belleza Latina, Telemundo's got the top-rated telenovela La Reina del Sur and they've both got one big problem: each other! While Univision is considered the Spanish-language giant and has announced plans to launch three new networks by 2012, Telemundo is hot on the network's heels as the second-largest Spanish-language network in the United States. This spring, Telemundo even managed to steal "The Latina Oprah" (Christina Saralegui) from Univision, which should bode well for the network's ratings next year. On January 28th, 2011, Comcast completed a $6.5 billion dollar deal acquisition of a 51% majority stake in NBC Universal, acquiring control of Telemundo as part of the deal, so don't be surprised if Telemundo eventually dethrones Univision.

Perez Hilton vs. Carrie Prejean

The Queen of all Media has had plenty of rivals in Hollywood, including Black Eyed Peas singer, Will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Rumer Willis and Lindsay Lohan, but his rivalry with Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean in 2009 is the Cuban blogger's most epic public fight. It all started when Perez served as a guest judge during the Miss USA pageant, and asked Prejean a question about same-sex marriage. Prejean replied that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and Perez, who thought the answer was homophobic, proceeded to blast Prejean daily on his website, Perezhilton.com, calling her answer the 'worst answer in pageant history," and calling her a dumb bi***." Ouch.

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato vs. Miley Cyrus

In 2009, best friends Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato made funny videos on youtube together where they danced, and joked around for hours. While we thought the videos were very funny and cute, there was someone who wasn't so impressed with them: Miley Cyrus. Cyrus and her best friend Mandy Jiroux must not have liked the attention Selena and Demi were getting, because they posted a video in which they mocked and imitated Demi and Selena, making fun of their outfits and their physical appearance.

Demi Lovato Opens Up About Her Life

Ever since her release from rehab back in January, Demi Lovato has been doing great on her road to recovery. The Disney star endured some dark times and recently worked up the courage to talk about her days of struggle.

On her eating issues, Lovato says:

“My family has known I’ve had issues with food and eating for about six years now. I was able to check in with them but it got to a point where I just was lying about eating and about being happy. There’s a lot of pressure these days. I feel like I live in a city where no woman eats!”

Regarding her depression:

“I just had so much going on in my head. I ended up doing things that I regret to this day. I was cranky. I was irritable. I was not pleasant really to work with. I never became suicidal, but I was in some really, really dark times though.”

On her days in rehab:

“Spending Christmas in treatment was really, really difficult. I just remember sometimes sitting there and being like, I had so much just six months ago, and here I am in a treatment center. What has my life become? How did I let it get to this point?”



Stay strong, Lovato! You’re doing well! Remember, if you feel like you’re going to fall . . . there’ll always be someone there to catch ya’.

10 Reasons Latinos Are Taking Over Hollywood!

Tom Hanks' appearance on the Spanish-language show, Despierta America this morning had quite a few people saying "que?" Why is a major American movie star like Hanks (who doesn't even speak Spanish) visiting a morning show on a Spanish-language network? The answer is an easy one: Latinos have arrived in Hollywood! Don't believe us? Here are 10 reasons Latinos are taking over Hollywood!

We Have the Biggest Teen Stars on Earth

Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice, and Bella Thorne — they’re the biggest female teen stars on the planet right now, and they’re all Latinas! Selena, who recently finished filming the final episode of her hit Disney series, Wizards of Waverly Place has a new movie career, a blazing hot music career (her third album, When The Sun Goes Down drops on June 29th) — and she happens to be dating the biggest male teen star in the universe: Justin Bieber! Selenita’s fellow Mexicana, Demi Lovato, who is widely respected for her musical talents, is currently recording a new album, while Disney's new princess, Bella Thorne has her own star vehicle with Disney's hit show, Shake It Up! And Boricua Victoria Justice — the only one from this group who's not a Disney alum — is also a Hollywood fixture. Justice has her own hit Nickelodeon show, Victorious, she's currently recording her debut album, and she just got cast as the lead in the coming of age comedy, Fun Size, which is being directed by Josh Schwartz (creator of Gossip Girl and The OC).

Attack of the Latino Teen Stars

We're the Most Beautiful

In April, People Magazine named Jennifer Lopez (not Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Anniston or Megan Fox), the most beautiful woman in the world. La Lopez looked positively radiant on the cover of the magazine's annual most beautiful issue and more importantly, for once the most beautiful face in America is one that Latinas will recognize as one of their own.

CONFIRMED: Jennifer Lopez Named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman

We Bring the Funny

We don't know about you, but our favorite scenes from FOX's hit show, Glee are the hilarious one-liners that Puerto Rican actress, Naya Rivera cold-heartedly delivers week after week as the uber-bitchy cheerio-turned-gleek, Santana Lopez. From "I'm a closet Lesbian and a judgemental bitch, which means one thing: I have awesome gaydar," to "Legend has it that when I came out of my mother I told the nurse she was fat," to our absolute favorite of all-time: "The only straight I am is straight-up bitch," all of Naya's witticisms are equally hurtful to the person she's insulting (but to us, they're just funny!). Meanwhile, on ABC's hit comedy, Modern Family, no one cracks us up more than Sofia Vergara, who always seems to have a stumped, 'what do you mean?' expression on her face as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, a character whose level of naiveté makes her a cross between George W. Bush and Steve Urkel. In other words, she's comedy gold!

EXCLUSIVE: Sofia Vergara on Golden Globe Nomination: "It's a Gift"

We're the New American Idol!

Over the last ten years, we've come close to winning FOX’s American Idol several times (David Archuleta, Alison Iraheta, Syesha Mercado), but in 2011 — with a superstar Latina (Jennifer Lopez) at the judges table — part-Puerto Rican country singer, Scotty McCreery finally made history when he became the first Latino ever to win the hit FOX competition. After he won, Scotty —  whose father was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico — had this message for his Latino fans. "I love ya'll. I've got a quarter of ya'll in me, and it was really cool to get up there and sing for all of you. We'll see if my flavor that Jennifer {Lopez} talked about keeps on going!"

Scotty McCreery Becomes the First Latino to Win 'American Idol!'


We Are Ratings Gold

La Reina del Sur is a bad title for Kate Del Castillo's Telemundo telenovela. It ought to be called, La Reina de Televisión. In March, the primetime Spanish-language soap beat ALL English language programing in major cities like New York and LA in the ratings and regularly beat the major networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) among adults 18-34. Attribute the soap's success to the fact that Hispanics now make up more than 16% of the U.S. population, and that Hispanics watch more TV on average than other Americans, and you'd be right. But it's not just Latinos watching Spanish-language soaps anymore — Spanish-language networks now offer subtitles to their programs for non-Spanish speakers. The rest of America is learning what we learned from abuela (and Thalia) as children: telenovelas are addictive and fun.

'La Reina del Sur' Helps Telemundo Break Ratings Record


We're Getting More TV Channels in Español

Encore! Encore! People love Latinos on television so much, whether it's in English or Spanish, that they're asking for more of us, and with recent census data showing that 1 in 6 adults (and 1 in 4 children) in America is Latino, networks are beginning to target the fast growing U.S. Hispanic population. Last month, the Starz network announced that come August 1st, it will launch a Spanish-language premium movie channel called Encore Espanol and in May, leading Spanish-language network Univision — which is already a Spanish-language network — announced plans to launch three additional new networks titled Univision TL Novelas, Univision Deportes, and Univision 24/7, which will focus exclusively on telenovelas, sports, and news, respectively, and bow in 2012. Translation: We already live in a multi-channel universe, but it's time for America to get ready for a multi-channel Spanish-language universe!

POLL: Do You Watch Television in Spanish?

We'll Be the Judge!

They say that behind every great man is a great woman. But Boricua Jennifer Lopez and Colombiana, Christina Aguilera aren't hiding behind any men as the feature premiere judges of FOX's American Idol and NBC's The Voice respectively. In fact, although J.Lo and Christina are surrounded by a sea of hombres on their respective shows (Christina's fellow judges include Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, while Lopez's co-judges are Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson), the superstar Latinas get top billing on TV's biggest singing competitions — often getting the last word over their male counterparts. Hollywood is clearly leaving the judging to us!

We're Getting Our Stories Told

In the last two or three years, there have been more Latino-centric story lines on TV, both on cable and network shows. The second season of HBO's Eastbound & Down was set in Mexico and welcomed Latino stars Ana de la Reguera and Michael Pena, Entourage recently did a story line about a Mexican tequila business that Turtle (A.J. Ferrara) gets involved with, and during its fifth season, Showtime's hit serial killer drama, Dexter featured a story line about Santa Muerte Murders set in a predominately Venezuelan neighborhood. Other shows that have featured Latino-centric story lines include Showtime's Weeds (where Mary Louise Parker's character Nancy Botwin got involved with Mexican drug lords), and Off the Map, a medical drama for ABC set in the South American jungle. The new season of HBO's hit series, True Blood, (premiering this Sunday), will feature a story line about a brujero (Kevin Alejandro) who dabbles in dark magic. 

 POLL: Which 'True Blood' Character Uses Mexican Viagra in Season 4?

We're Making It Easier to Shoot in Puerto Rico & The DR

Don't be surprised if more and more films start shooting in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. In March, Governor Luis G. Fortuño of Puerto Rico approved new legislation that revamps its program, offering the U.S. tax rebates along with a 20 % rebate for non-residents including the pre-existing 40% rebate for residents. The new incentives are likely to prompt film producers in Hollywood to shoot their films on the Puerto Rican island. In a similar move, the Dominican Republic is officially launching its own production incentive program this month in an effort to lure more productions to the Caribbean. According to Variety, the program's key elements provide a 25% transferable tax credit for features and TV series shot in the country, with $500,000 minimum to qualify and an expedited customs process.

Is Puerto Rico the Next Hollywood?


We're Raking in the Cash

In 2010, Cameron Diaz was the second highest paid actress in Hollywood (behind Sandra Bullock), while Eva Longoria was the highest paid Latina on television, pulling in an impressive $400,000 for each episode of ABC's Desperate Housewives. But it's not just Latina actresses who command big salaries — Latina supermodels also rake in big salaries. In fact, Gisele Bundchen, and Adriana Lima are currently the highest paid models in the industry.

The Richest Teen Stars

The teen stars with the highest bankrolls --
in no particular order.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez makes $25,000 for each episode of Wizards of Waverly Place. Add that to what she earns touring with her band Selena & the Scene, plus album sales, and she's up there with the richest teens around.

Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato makes $12,000 per episode of her show Sonny with a Chance, and is worth a reported $3 million. Though she's not the richest teen by a long shot, Forbes predicts she's a big star to watch in the next few years -- even warning Miley Cyrus to watch out of for her fellow Disney darling!

Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus made a whopping $48 million from June 2009-June 2010 with the help of her hit show Hannah Montana, a 57-date tour that earned about $1.2 million each night, her flick The Last Song, and royalties from Miley Cyrus lunch boxes, T-shirts, backpacks, shoes, pencils, and more. She's ranked 13 on Forbes' 100 Richest Celebrities list this year, up from the 29th spot last year.

Taylor Swift
Kinda came out of nowhere to become one of the most powerful teen celebs around. She wasn't even ranked on Forbes Most Powerful Celebs list last year, now she's at the 12 spot. The country cutie made $45 million from June 2009 to June 2010, and was the most-played artist on the radio in 2009. Her CoverGirl and Sony endorsements gave her a big boost, as well as the 3.2 million copies of Fearless her fans bought, legally.

 
Daniel Radcliffe
The Happy Potter franchise has made Daniel Radcliffe a few pretty pennies. He made $25 million from June 2009-June 2010 and we're betting he'll make it just fine in Hollywood even though the last installment of hit series will be released in 2011. Big things are ahead for this British star.

Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart has Twilight to thank all the way to the bank. She made $12 million from June 2009 to June 2010, thanks to the vampire franchise that has already earned $1 billion at the box office. With the last 2 movies still in the works, we're guessing Ms. Stewart will continue to make big money. Plus, the roles will likely keep on coming as long as she wants them.

Miranda Cosgrove
iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove gets paid $180,000 by Nickelodeon for each episode of the hit show, making her the second-highest paid teen TV star around. The 17-year-old reportedly signed a multimillion dollar deal in March to do 26 more episodes of the show. She also has a budding singing career and is a celebrity ambassador for Neutrogena.

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber sold out Madison Square Garden this year, and reportedly has a net worth of $5.5 million. The 16-year-old was discovered on YouTube and Usher took him under his wing, and he's been pretty much set ever since. The little ladies love him, and that's probably why his sophomore album sold nearly 700,000 copies in just 3 weeks.

Abigail Breslin
At 14, Abigail Breslin has already been acting for over a decade. She made $1.5 million for her Oscar-nominated role in Little Miss Sunshine, and now earns about $4 million per film. She's reportedly worth about $14 million.

Angus T. Jones
Angus T. Jones makes the most money of any other teen star on TV. Get this: The 16-year-old makes a whopping $250,000 for each episode of Two and a Half Men! That's $1 million for a month's worth of shows, for those of you who aren't mathematically inclined. He was only 10 when he started on the sitcom.

Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning pretty much grew up behind the cameras, and her hard work pays off. The 16-year-old reportedly makes about $4 million a year, and was ranked the 3rd Most Valuable Teen Star by Forbes last year.
