Her?” of A-list “talent,” is topped by supermom and noted bare-faced adventurer Angelina Jolie who ties with the “actress” formerly (and forever) known as Carrie Bradshaw, one Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker.  Full list after the jump.

Between May 1, 2010 and May 1, 2011, these were the lauded ladies who laughed all the way to the bank. [Forbes]

1. Angie Joles, $30 million. Drink it in, Jolie, and then eat a sandwich, you’re scaring the kids.

A “friend” of Johansson says that Scarlett still has “intense feelings for Ryan and feels Sandra isn’t respecting that at all.” Based solely on her film work, I doubt that ScarJo is even capable of an intense feeling, but let’s continue on…

According to this “friend,” Scarlett is having second thoughts and is still holding out hopes for a reconciliation. But as you can probably tell from that subtle Photoshopping above, Sandy’s “relationship” with Ryan has ENDED THAT HOPE.

In spite Johansson’s supposed accusations, Sandy Bulls told bosom buddy Al Roker on Sunday’s Golden Globe red carpet that she and Ryan are not “lovahs” after all:

“I think there will be a collective sigh amongst women across the United States when I say he’s not my lovah…he’s just an amazing friend I’ve had for 10 years and I hope there’s more friendship like that.”

Translation: “Who’s the man-hungry tramp now, beeyotch!”

Clearly, there’s only one way to solve this once and for all; someone call Maury Povich and tell him to clear his schedule for the rest of the week.

Hands down, Scarlett Johansson wins Best Dressed.

Last year at the MTV MOVIE AWARDS, I was astonished at the sheer stupidity of the overall content. Last night, I was less astonished at the stupidity and more amazed at what little fashion walked the red carpet. And when I say little, I mean very little dresses coupled with very little taste. Yesterday afternoon, my freind Audrey Nizen (Creative Director, Bloomingdale’s) and I were lamenting on how stylists have ruined the creativity at awards shows by playing it all too safe. Last night however, there was safety in numbers, and all of which hit the recurring theme of Hootchie Mamma.

In an effort to conceal her ankle thing, Lindsay Lohan channelled Mrs. Roper from Three's Company.

These two Jeresey Shore-ites, JWoww and Snooki set the tone for Hootchie Mamma.

Katy Perry's hair rocks but her dresses were cha-cha at best.

This Katy Perry number is Vegas showgirl or Ice Capades…you choose.

Sandra Bullock looked amazing in her backless number, but really, she could have added one inch to the length. Girl, you are in your 40's…relax. You're still America's sweetheart.

Evan Mendez channelled Wilma Flintstone and (B) I am realy over the one shoulder story.

As in this case with Stephnie Pratt who was sporting a wanna-be Stephen Sprouse moment.

Audrina Patridge proves my point…that one shoulder needs another.

This ill fitting coral David's Bridal Bridesmaid dress did nothing for Lauren Bosworth besides get her on the worst dress list.

Nikki Reed wore a schmatta that looked like a Woolworth's House Coat from the 60's…and not in a good way.

Samantha Harris also needed another inch on the length. Come on girl…you're pusing 40…no?

Christina Aguilera…fotz.

Snooki is hilare…but white wakes you look wider, so she looked as wide as she is tall. She definitely needed the Snooki hair bump to give her the height.

All the single ladies…all the single ladies. Skank patrol.

When asked, “Who are you wearing?”, JWoww proudly announced the launch of her new collection, Skank Couture.

Totally has nothing to do with fashion, but we thought we’d share anyways. Sandra Bullock reveals to People Magazine that she has filed for divorce and is the proud mother of an adopted baby boy, Louis.

Sandra Bullock wore this Alternative Apparel SilverLake Dirty Grey Tank to the Oprah Winfrey Show.  It’s only $35 and looks great dressed up, like Sandra, or dressed down with denim and sandals. Available for purchase here.

Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, Sherri Shepard, and Kate Winslet all wore side swept waves to last night’s Oscars. “The Veronica Lake look was in full bloom at this year’s Oscars,” says Gayle Giacomo owner and expert stylist, Gatsby Salon in Green Brook, NJ. “Sandra Bullock, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz laminated the red carpet with this timeless style.” Step by step how to after the jump.

1. Start with using a volumizer on damp hair’s roots. (Try Gatsby Salon’s Texture Lift, $12.50 available by calling 732.752.4247)

2. Use a blow dryer to remove excess moisture from hair.

3. Section hair into five sections. A right and left section at the nape of the neck, a section on the right and left sides of your head, and the top of your head.

4. Blowdry each section using a round brush and dry hair in a vertical direction, pulling the hair straight up from your head to create volume and lift at the root.

5. After entire head is dried, form the same 5 sections. Use a 1 ½ inch barrel curling iron to curl sections, beginning at the bottom of hair sections.

6. To create an arch and bend at the root, place the iron on the root and pull upwards as you move it to the ends of the hair.

7. Once the iron has reached the ends, keep the curling iron horizontal as you rotate the iron back towards the root area, creating a curl. Once hair is heated in this position, release the iron from the hair, letting the hair fall.

8. Follow immediately with a flexible hold hairspray (Try Gatsby Salon’s Structura Shaping Spray, $14.95 available by calling 732.752.4247) and allow hair to cool.

9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until your entire head is curled.

10. Allow at least ten minutes for hair to cool entirely before touching it.

11. Turn head upside down and use a paddle brush to brush through your entire head.

12. Create a part that suits your style and use your fingers to tame and place hair to the direction you desire.

13. Complete style by using a holding spray to secure this look.

Best actress winner Sandra Bullock wore a Marchesa Fall 2010 gown, featuring embroidery on the neckline and bodice.

Leighton Meester has a hidden little editorial in the March 2009 issue of InStyle (Sandra Bullock cover).

She looks a little sleepy, but I like the styling – it’s springy but subdued, and full of Armani, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Cavalli, and others.

Jenny Gage and Tom Betterton shot Sandra Bullock for the March 2009 issue of InStyle.

Unfortunately she looks mad photoshopped to look like a cute little deer – but she looks better in the editorial’s casual styling.
