American Idol alum Carly Smithson demands controversial former judge return to replace Katy Perry and current panel ... https://ift.tt/bTRFfVC #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore AMERICAN Idol alum Carly Smithson has some ideas about who could be brought on to replace Katy Perry and the current panel. Fans have long been calling for the pop singer and other judges to be replaced, criticizing their judging style. American Idol alum Carly Smithson has suggested bringing back an old judge Fans have been calling for Katy Perry and other judges to be replaced[/caption] Carly, 39, participated in a Reddit Q&A with American Idol fans, fielding questions about her time on the show and more. At one point, she was asked: “Do you think any of the current judges should be replaced with some new fresh faces? If so, who would you like to see as a judge next season?” The musician held nothing back, responding: “I think that the current culture of our world prevents the judges from being hard on the contestants. They’re also musicians themselves so they risk alienating their own fans. Simon [Cowell] had nothing to lose because he wasn’t selling anything.” She added: “I miss Simon to be honest. He was a d**k but it was great television. Our world is too sensitive nowadays. “My biggest complaint of the show is how easy the contestants have it. If you’re s**t – you’re s**t ! Let’s see all the auditions and have real judging.” She concluded: “I was told terrible things by Simon but it prepared me for the industry ahead. It’s not a place for a snowflake.” Carly competed on season seven of American Idol. At the time, Simon was a judge alongside Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul. Since her time competing on American Idol, she has been brought back on as a mentor, segment host, guest performer, and a judge. She is slated to appear at the finale to meet the contestants. FRESH START American Idol’s current judges are Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy. American Idol supporters have been calling for a major upgrade on the show since early this season. Fans of the competition series have been adamant about the showrunners improving the reality singing competition and took to social media to provide their critiques. The official Idol Instagram account shared a message that promoted the show’s return for a 22nd season on the platform recently. “American Idol is coming back for another season,” the image text read. The post’s caption encouraged fans to sing along with the contestants for another season. Several followers flocked to the comment section to demand ABC executives make changes to the show for the upcoming season. Single-night eliminations were the main thing fans repeatedly suggested. One person raged: “Cool. Go back to single elimination nights, and allow both coasts to watch and vote before elimination the following night. “You’ve taken on the worst aspects of The Voice (multiple eliminations and host skits), despite having incredible talent. “You had at least 10 stars this season, but they were rushed off the stage. Give them all more time to show us who they are.” Another added in a reply: ” … All of this, plus allow the singers who are eliminated to have their one last ‘swan song.’ “The show used to do this, rather than have them rushed off the stage unless they’re chosen to sing for a judges save.” A slew of other fans insisted that the show bring in new judges to replace the current ones. “New judges please,” one fan demanded. Seconding the commenter, one person added: “Of course, I just thought it was so refreshing to have Alanis [Morissette] and Ed [Sheeran] on last week. “I just feel like the 3 we have now have said all they are going to say… gets repetitive.” Another advocated: “Make Alanis a permanent judge. She radiates joy and gives honest sensible feedback.” “They never say anything critical like Simon. Always so positive it’s not its not realistic,” another said. ENOUGH ALREADY Idol fans have slammed the show’s latest season, claiming it feels rushed. Viewers claimed that it ruins the show when a number of contestants leave at the end of each live episode. Other fans have complained that the audition process felt dragged out and slammed producers for sending home 14 contestants in one week. One critic wrote on Reddit: “Anyone else feel like this season has felt so rushed? “I loved this season initially but since we hit the top 20 I feel like they’ve just been getting rid of talent in droves and it hasn’t been as enjoyable for me.” Another added: “I miss Idol from back in the day. When they had the top 12, and only one contestant went home each week. Those were the days!” A third suggested: “Could easily cut a week of Hollywood and a week of auditions then add in two weeks or two nights of live shows.” Yet another user commented: “The cuts were brutal this year. 26 to 20 to 12 in one week is just too much,” which another fan called “upsetting.” Carly called Simon Cowell her “favorite” judge adding that he should return[/caption] American Idol viewers have suggested the current panel is too soft on competitors[/caption] Many are eager to see Katy, Lionel Richie and Luke Cryan ousted from the show[/caption] #American Idol alum Carly Smithson demands controversial former judge return to replace Katy Perry and current panel https://ift.tt/bazg47m

Blac Chyna looks unrecognizable with major change to her appearance after ‘reversing’ plastic surgery ... https://ift.tt/bTRFfVC #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore BLAC Chyna has debuted a shocking new look on social media amid her enlightenment journey. Blac Chyna, who now goes by her birth name Angela White, changed up her hairstyle after she recently transformed her face and body to fit her new image. Blac Chyna debuted a new look on social media[/caption] Blac Chyna recently cut off the majority of her hair[/caption] Angela, 35, took to her Instagram page on Thursday to showcase her new bold hairdo. The clip featured on her Instagram profile flaunted the severe bowl cut her hairstylist designed for her. Angela’s video was sped-up so it could document the entire process from start to finish. It’s apparent that her hair was being fully shaved off in the back and formed into a thick short bowl cut at the top. At the very end of the video, Angela stood up and posed, modeling her fully completed, daring look. She also shared a selfie video of her hairstylist while they were mid-styling to her Instagram Stories before she posted it on her profile. The Stories’ slide was captioned: “New cut baby [heart emoji] [prayer hands]. Time to curl.” It appears that Angela is overhauling everything associated with her past image, including the colorful and dramatic wigs she’s known for wearing. OUT WITH THE OLD Angela was very vocal about her transformations, physical and spiritual, in March. During her appearance on the Tamron Hall Show in late March, she admitted that she’s shed her plastic surgery and has embraced her naturalness. In Angela’s interview with Tamron, 52, she opened up about removing her cosmetic surgery work from her body. Now that Angela had turned a new leaf, she took out her breast implants and sucked out her butt injections as well as her face filler. On the show, Angela gave advice to young girls, stirring them away from using plastic surgery to change what they disliked about themselves. Since her stance on cosmetic work seemed like a complete 180 shift, being that she has been the poster child for plastic surgery for so long, Tamron appeared skeptical. The ABC anchor asked her bluntly, “So, will you ever do any more surgery? Any more fillers?” Angela concisely replied, “I’m done ya’ll, no more,” which gained large applause from audience members. CRUCIAL CHANGES Angela debuted her “incredible” make-under after dissolving her filler and getting her breast and butt implants removed. She looked stunning with her new look as she attended a magazine party in Atlanta, Georgia, in mid-March. Angela – who has a daughter Dream, six, with Rob Kardashian – showed off her features by pulling her hair back into a tousled updo. Her fans claimed she looked “younger” and “healthy” as she posed at the Ellements Magazine bash. One gushed on Reddit: “She looks incredible and is setting a fantastic example for her daughter and people everywhere. “You should grow and learn from your mistakes, not double down on stupidity like the Kar-Jenner’s have.” Another added: “I’m very happy to see her looking so happy and healthy, and absolutely gorgeous.” A third posted: “She looks SO much better. I feel like this a huge slap in the face (although they might not be able to feel it, with all of their filler) to the Kar-jenner’s…. Filler was a fad, ladies.” “Wow she looks really good. How crazy is that by taking away fillers she looks younger,” yet another user remarked. Angela also revealed that it was her fifth time getting a boob job and was “hopefully the last.” Additionally, she shared other parts of her makeover, pointing out that she’s “retired” her long manicures for a more natural look. In one video, Angela gushed over her results while lying in bed in “recovery mode” from the surgeries. She had numerous bandages over her breasts and midsection and said she was “very happy” about how her transformation turned out. Angela echoed her story in her post’s caption: “I want you all to be a part of my life-changing journey. I Reduced my breast and Gluteus maximus. “You all have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that,” she concluded, signing off with her birth name, Angela White. Since Blac Chyna now goes by her birth name Angela White she’s taking on a new image[/caption] Since March Angela has been vocal about her transformations[/caption] During her appearance on the Tamron Hall Show Angela revealed she reversed her plastic surgery[/caption] #Blac Chyna looks unrecognizable with major change to her appearance after ‘reversing’ plastic surgery https://ift.tt/C3NTQz6

JoJo Siwa shares ‘terrifying’ footage of intruders breaking into her $3.5M mansion as teen, 19, says ‘life is scary’ ... https://ift.tt/935EXlw #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore JOJO Siwa has shared “terrifying” footage of two intruders breaking into her $3.5million mansion in Los Angeles. The TikTok star, 19, was burglarized early on Monday morning while she was away on a cruise. Jojo Siwa shared ‘terrifying’ footage of two intruders breaking into her $3.4million mansion in Los Angeles[/caption] The clip showed two masked robbers at her San Fernando Valley home JoJo posted security footage of two robbers at her San Fernando Valley home on Tuesday. The Dance Moms star told fans on Snapchat: “We were robbed last night at 2:40(ish)AM… It was an armed robbery which is very scary. “It was a REALLLLLY long night on the phone with my security, family, and LAPD. “And then I couldn’t fall back asleep after. Was about two hours on the phone, then lots more just laying there thinking.” JoJo then shared a video from inside her home of the masked robbers climbing the stairs and walking around her entrance hall. The teen said: “Security footage of the break-in… It’s terrifying. This makes me sick to watch.” Police said that they responded to a call from an alarm company about a break-in at JoJo’s home, TMZ reported. They found a door open, which is how they believe the perpetrators, entered. The suspects have not been identified or found. JoJo was on a cruise when the break-in occurred, according to Entertainment Tonight, The dancer said there was “lots of materialistic damage” from the burglary, but added, “That can all be fixed.” “I’m just happy that my family and pups are safe. Most important thing to me,” she said. “Do me a favor and hug your people extra tight tonight,” JoJo added. “Life is SCARY. And you never know when anything could happen.” JoJo bought the 6,500-square-foot mansion in Tarzana, LA, in December 2019 and moved herself and her family into it. A month later, the YouTube star gave fans a tour of the house, which boasts a basketball court, a merchandise store and an in-home 7-Eleven. JOJO TARGETED This isn’t the first time JoJo has been targeted at her LA mansion. In january 2021, she became the victim of “swatting” – the act of making prank 911 calls to bring emergency responders to a particular location. She recorded cops swarming her house and claimed there were at least 50 officers there – although footage of the moment appeared to show only seven police cars and one fire truck. “My fear was that I thought somebody was in the house and I didn’t know about it. That’s what I was scared about!” she said on her videographer Nate Javier’s Instagram Live. “Or somebody like came to hide and they came through our backyard. Never prank the police that is the most wrong thing to do. It’s very, very, very illegal.” The Nickelodeon star added: “The people will get in trouble for whoever did that. They will get in a lot of trouble, possibly serve time. That’s what my security told me.” The prank came just days after JoJo came out as LGBTQ in a lengthy Instagram video, where she opened up for the first time about her sexual orientation. The dancer was believed to have been on a cruise at the time[/caption] JoJo urged fans to ‘hug’ their loved ones and said that ‘life is scary’[/caption] JoJo moved into her huge mansion in December[/caption] #JoJo Siwa shares ‘terrifying’ footage of intruders breaking into her $3.5M mansion as teen, 19, says ‘life is scary’ https://ift.tt/rHF6cl1

RHOBH fans speechless after two enemies reunite after nasty years-long feud in shocking new photo ... https://ift.tt/935EXlw #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore RHOBH fans have been left stunned after seeing longtime enemies Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards together in a photo. The sibling costars have been fighting since the end of last season, leaving fans unsure resolution could be reached. RHOBH fans were stunned to see costar enemies reunite for a photo[/caption] Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton were photographed at a family function together[/caption] Kyle, 54, took to her Instagram feed to share photos from her niece Whitney Davis’ bridal shower. She appeared in the photo alongside her sister Kathy, 64, and their sister Kim Richards. Kyle was also seen standing with her daughter Farrah and several other family members. Kyle and Kathy – who had a very public falling out at the last RHOBH reunion – were stood right next to one another in the photo. They did not have their arms around one another but appeared in good spirits. Kathy had not posted the photo as of this writing. Fans flocked to the comments to celebrate the reunion. One person wrote: “So happy to see all the sisters and cousins together.” Another commented: “Can we just appreciate a family photo? Love to all your beautiful ladies!” A third wrote: “Love seeing all of you together.” Someone else commented: “So happy that the family is healing.” Another comment read: “The Hiltons and Richards family. It’s good to see your entire family getting along well.” One commenter speculated there may still be bad blood, writing: “That’s some cold shoulder action.” SIBLING SHAKEDOWN Kyle and Kathy’s falling out aired on Bravo in October 2022. The RHOBH cast gathered for a reunion special, during which the sisters took aim at one another. During the third episode of the special, host Andy Cohen asked Kathy about an incident that occurred during a cast trip to Aspen, Colorado. Kathy was shown getting upset and leaving a gathering after Lisa Rinna ordered Kendall Jenner’s tequila brand rather than hers. On the reunion special, she said she wasn’t mad at Lisa but rather Kyle. According to Kathy, she thought her sister arranged the outing to celebrate her alcohol brand and show it off on air and when that wasn’t the case, she flew into a fury. Kyle cried throughout the conversation, at one point saying: “It was my fault like everything f**king is!” The conversation continued, with Kathy keeping the blame largely on her sister. She continued to argue with Lisa and others, with Kyle noting that their behavior also leads to punishment for her. She broke down, telling her co-stars: “I feel like I get the blame for things in my family and … I didn’t f**king do anything.” She went on: “It always ends up like this for me.” Kyle cried and shouted, telling the cast: “I’m tired of the f**king bumps. It spills into her kids and their kids who I love a lot and that really hurts me a lot.” She added: “I need to end up in a better place with her than when she came.” Kathy replied: “Well, I don’t know.” She also repeatedly asserted: “Kyle, I don’t want to talk about it.” Kathy accused her sister of “acting like a martyr.” KATHY’S PAIN After the cast trip aired, Kathy was bombarded with rumors about what happened during the trip. Erika Jayne, for her part, has accused the star of using a homophobic slurduring an angry outburst. Erika, 51, claimed at the reunion Kathy used the slur in Aspen against a DJ at a nightclub. The incident was not captured on camera. Kathy strongly denied Erika’s claim and called her a “liar” during the reunion. The hotel heiress was reportedly backed up by several other members of the RHOBH cast. Bravo investigated Erika’s allegation about Kathy after Aspen and it was a case of her word against Kathy’s, TMZ claimed. Kathy has been the subject of many headlines in the new season of RHOBH. Lisa previously accused Kathy of having a “meltdown” in Aspen on a night out – although the alleged incident was never filmed. During a confessional, she recapped what had happened after she and Kathy left a nightclub alone together one evening. “We get in the sprinter van and Kathy starts screaming about everything,” Lisa claimed. “And she’s saying things like, ‘I’m gonna take down NBC, Bravo, I will take down the show, single-handedly. I will ruin you all.’ “What in the holy f**king hell?'” The reality star continued: “We get back to Kyle’s house and it’s just the two of us, and it gets worse. “She takes her glasses off, she throws them on the ground, she’s jumping up and down breaking her glasses, she’s pounding the walls, and she’s screaming, she made Kyle, Kathy’s responsible for Kyle. “And she said, ‘I will destroy Kyle and her family if it’s the last thing I ever do.'” The reality star – who has been on tense terms with Kathy for years – claimed someone was “trying to make Kathy look bad”. She accused Erika and Lisa of trying to take the heat off Erika by focusing on Kathy amid The Pretty Mess founder’s embezzlement lawsuit.

Kim Kardashian ordered to ‘go away’ after she launches new Skims pop-up shop at iconic NYC landmark ... https://ift.tt/935EXlw #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore KIM Kardashian has been ordered to “go away” after opening up a pop-up shop at a very iconic city landmark. This week, Kim Kardashian opened a Skims pop-up shop in New York City at The Channel Gardens in Rockefeller Center. Kim Kardashian has opened a Skims pop-up shop in New York City at Rockefeller Center[/caption] However, many fans do not like that she took over an iconic landmark[/caption] The official Rockefeller Center Instagram shared a pic of Kim behind a light blue building with the word Skims on top as well as a large waterfall. However, many fans were upset that the 42-year-old beauty mogul set up shop there. “Go away,” one ordered. “Not here in NY!!!!! And definitely not at the Rockefeller plaza, such an iconic place,” another said. “Pass, we don’t care about her,” a harsh critic commented. “No thanks! I wouldn’t buy anything that’s Kardashian! I won’t support that family,” commented a fourth. A fifth wrote: “Embarrassing and disrespectful to turn an iconic landmark and view into an ad.” KIM TAKES OVER NEW YORK CITY The pop-up shop won’t be in New York for long. It will come to a close on May 29. However, fans can visit the shop Monday through Friday from 10 am to 8 pm and on Sundays from 10 am to 7 pm. They can shop for the latest pieces that Kim has released on her shapewear website. TODAY SHOW APPEARANCE On a recent Today Show appearance, Kim discussed the upcoming season of The Kardashians. Host Savannah Guthrie asked: “After all these years, are you ever like: ‘I think I’m done with showing everyone this part of my life.'” The reality star replied: “When we signed up for this we wanted to always be super open and honest and there’s obviously different seasons where some people feel like they just have some boundaries and want to protect some things and then other people want to open up and share way more. “I’m so blessed that there’s so many of us that we can always respect each other’s space.” Kim confessed: “This season was probably one of my – out of filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians or The Kardashians – this season was probably my most emotional and frustrating internally with family, that I haven’t really seen or experienced before.” Savannah asked: “Why is that? They talk about some tension between you and your sister Kourtney over her wedding. Is that the source of it?” “Yeah – and we’ve been there before and we’ll always be okay. We’re always family, that’s how we were raised. But I’m also proud that everyone’s really vulnerable because I’m sure so many other families have gone through similar things. “Maybe on different levels or experiences but I’m proud that we’re still so open and still driven to show and share so much,” she admitted. Savannah then asked Kim if there’s an “aftermath” when she has arguments with her family once the episodes finally air. “Yeah there’s different cycles, you know you film it and we think we’re good, and we make up and then you edit it and I’m seeing all the things she’s saying about me behind my back and she’s seeing all the things I’m saying about her behind her back. “The tension rises all over again, and then you have to wait more months for the audience to see it and get everyone else’s opinions. So it is a cycle, I think I like to look at it as therapy. “But it gets really tricky and really emotional. But at the end of the day, we really love sharing our life and I don’t see that changing anytime soon,” she closed. ‘Pass, we don’t care about her,’ a harsh critic commented[/caption] The Skims pop-up shop will be in NYC until May 29[/caption] #Kim Kardashian ordered to ‘go away’ after she launches new Skims pop-up shop at iconic NYC landmark https://ift.tt/cEo6mHj

The View audience erupts as Whoopi Goldberg gives NSFW visual after bending over for demonstration by desk ... https://ift.tt/ngeDAVL #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore THE View host Whoopi Goldberg has sent the audience wild by making an NSFW confession. During Tuesday’s episode, the 67-year-old show moderator talked about how she pees in a bathing suit. The View host Whoopi Goldberg has sent the audience wild by making an NSFW confession[/caption] The 67-year-old show moderator revealed she pees in a bathing suit by wearing one with snaps Whoopi got onto the topic while discussing Martha Stewart’s cover of Sports Illustrated. Her View co-host Joy Behar shared a juicy anecdote about when she met Martha. She said: “One time I met her and I said to her, ‘Martha, what do you wear as a brassiere?’ “Without missing a beat, she said, ‘I wear a bathing suit under my clothing.’ So, it’s like one piece.” Joy added: “I said, ‘Well, how do you pee? She said, ‘There’s no snaps on a bathing suit.'” A confused Whoop interjected: “I have snaps on my bathing suit. You don’t have snaps on your bathing suit?” Joy shook her head with a doubtful expression on her face. Whoopi replied, “Oh, honey!” as the audience erupted into cheers. Joy then revealed Martha’s own solution: “She said she pulls it to the side. She’s innovative!” Sister Act star Whoopi made a similar confession last year on the show, when she bent over to demonstrate how she uses her “snaps.” In January 2022, she bent over her chair while pretending to be wearing a bathing suit. She told her co-hosts: “You have to be limber.” With her head between her legs, she said: “You have to be able to bend all the way over and grab the back of [the swimsuit] and pull it forward.” The comedian added, “And then the problem for me is that I can’t see the snaps because they’re way down there,” and pointed to her butt. Whoopi’s wild confession comes after reports that The View executives are “tired” of her “toxic” behavior and have asked her to leave the show. Bosses are allegedly begging the comedian to quit the ABC program after serving as show moderator for 15 years. In February 2022, Whoopi was suspended from The View for two weeks because of what network ABC called her “wrong and hurtful comments” about Jewish people and the Holocaust. The comedian claimed that the Holocaust – which resulted in the deaths of roughly 6million Jewish people between 1941 to 1945 – was not about “race.” In December, Whoopi seemingly repeated her claim about the Holocaust. Following Whoopi’s spate of controversial comments, sources claimed producers have had enough of the actress. An insider told Radar Online in December that executives have “grown tired of Whoopi’s constant on-air episodes and believe they are driving viewers away.” The source added: “Whoopi seems to be picking fights all the time. She makes things very toxic. “It’s clear she’s very unhappy. Everyone’s begging her to step aside for her sake and the sake of the show.” The insider claimed Whoopi has been struggling with her physical health as a result of work stresses. “Her health has been suffering, and she always seems to be ready for a brawl,” they said. “It’s at the point where the constant fighting is literally killing her.” The panel were talking about Martha Stewart’s recent Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover[/caption] Last year, she bent over her desk to demonstrate how she opens the snaps on her bathing suit[/caption] Whoopi warned her co-hosts, ‘You have to be limber’[/caption] #The View audience erupts as Whoopi Goldberg gives NSFW visual after bending over for demonstration by desk https://ift.tt/76RpeqG

Ultimate Top Gear host rich list – from star’s £479m fortune & £32m superyacht to presenter who commutes via helicopter ... https://ift.tt/ngeDAVL #us #uk #world #politics #top #news #readmore THEY are the speed demons who have made millions racing the world’s fastest cars and travelling the globe. Top Gear has been a lucrative show for its presenters over the years – but now its future looks bleak. Top Gear stars Chris Harris, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness[/caption] Filming of the BBC show has been on hold since Freddie Flintoff‘s horror 124mph crash in December. And today we revealed bulldozers have moved onto Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, Top Gear’s official track, as work begins to build a housing estate. Despite being laid up while he recovers, cricket legend Freddie is still in the money, having seen his assets rise by £500,000 in the last financial year. But he’s by no means the wealthiest of our Top Gear hosts, as we reveal in our ultimate rich list. Eddie Jordan – £479m Eddie Jordan tops our list with a whopping £479m fortune[/caption] Prior to joining the Top Gear line-up, Eddie Jordan earned a fortune in Formula One – first as a racer, then as a team manager. He later became a TV pundit and was head of the BBC’s F1 coverage for six years from 2009, before moving to Channel 4 in 2016. That same year he returned to the Beeb to present Top Gear. Multi-millionaire Eddie bought a private jet during his racing days – calling it a “no-brainer” as it meant he could spend more time with his family – and owned sprawling properties in Monaco, Cape Town and Surrey. In 2014, Eddie paid a reported £32million for the luxurious Sunseeker 155 superyacht, named Blush. The 155 feet vessel boasted an onboard nightclub, multiple lounges and dining rooms, jacuzzis, bars and a parking garage for jet skis. Eddie sold it in 2017 and now reportedly owns a 45-metre-long sailing yacht, also called Blush. In 2018 the F1 legend – reportedly worth £479m – raffled off his £750,000 flat in Tooting, south London for tickets priced at £10 each. Chris Evans – £95m For a while Chris Evans blew money on partying – now he leads a quieter life[/caption] From the Big Breakfast to TFI Friday, Chris Evans was the king of 90s TV. He was announced as Jeremy Clarkson’s replacement on Top Gear in 2015 and signed a three-year deal for a reported £3m. But it wasn’t to last as Chris, who also earned £600,000 a year from his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, quit Top Gear after one season following an alleged fall out with co-star Matt LeBlanc. Before leaving in 2017, the star was paid between £2.2m and £2.49m – making him the BBC’s highest-paid presenter at the time. He returned to BBC radio, but one year after being forced to take a £600,000 pay cut he moved to Virgin Radio as part of a reported £2m deal. In the past, Chris was renowned for wild spending – famously buying a rectory in Kent, a Bentley, and blowing large sums on partying. Some of his biggest outgoings came while dating Billy Piper, who he was married to between 2001 and 2007. The day after they met in 2000, he bought her a silver Ferrari – despite the fact she couldn’t drive. Chris also owned three pubs at one point, and has done well out of property. In 2001 he sold his Chelsea home to the singer George Michael for £7.5m – making a half a million pounds profit. In 2011 he made £5.5m on the sale of a Californian home, and a year later he sold his Surrey pad to a Russian tycoon, netting £4m profit. Now the star, believed to be worth £95m, lives in Marlow in a five-bed pad he bought for £4m in 2019. Matt LeBlanc – £66 million Matt LeBlanc earned an impressive sum for the Friends reunion in 2021[/caption] Matt LeBlanc pocketed a fortune from Friends, reportedly earning him up to £800,000 per episode, and was later paid £2m for the special cast reunion in 2021. Alongside his three year run on Top Gear until 2020, which earned him £1m a year, he starred in the sitcoms Episodes and Man With A Plan. Matt, said to be worth £66m, owns a sprawling LA mansion for £5.6m but lives a very quiet life, insisting that unlike his Friends character Joey Tribbiani, he’s actually “shy”. He also has an impressive car collection including a Mercedes, Ferrari and at least two Porsches. Jeremy Clarkson – £55.8m Jeremy Clarkson has his own farm, beer brand and a host of TV shows[/caption] Yorkshire-born Jeremy, who is worth a reported £55.8m, started off as a motoring journalist for the Rotherham Advertiser before landing his big break on Top Gear. He hosted the format for 10 years from 1988 and later as part of its revamped show in 2002 – eventually becoming the BBC’s highest-paid star with a £1.5m-a-year salary. In 2012, Jeremy raked in a reported £5m from selling his half of Bedder 6, supposedly a play on ‘better sex’, which was a production company that held the rights to Top Gear. The BBC parted ways with the presenter in 2015 amid an alleged fight with a producer. Three years on, Jeremy bagged his Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? gig, earning him an estimated £3m a year. But his biggest TV deal was a slice of £160m from Amazon Prime to produce 36 episodes of The Grand Tour. Clarkson reportedly earns £10m a year from the show. In 2021, Jeremy started an unusual side-project – running his own farm, which he turned into the TV series Clarkson’s Farm. It’s estimated the site, where he also brews his own beer, was bought by Clarkson for £6m and is currently worth a whopping £12.5m. Away from TV gigs, Jeremy is rumoured to be paid £25k for giving after-dinner speeches and tops up his earnings writing books and newspaper columns. Like any fast car fanatic, Clarkson has a drool-worthy collection of vehicles that are reportedly worth over £500K, including a Ferrari, Mercedes, Lamborghini and McLaren. Richard Hammond – £35m Richard Hammond flies his helicopter from his £2.5m castle to London[/caption] Richard Hammond received a massive pay bump after moving from Top Gear to The Grand Tour where his annual earnings rose from £500,000 to a reported £7.2m. He also made money presenting Brainiac: Science Abuse from 2003 to 2006, Total Wipeout from 2009 to 2012, and Planet Earth Live in 2012. Richard, known as ‘The Hamster’ on the show, has an impressive car collection including a Ford Mustang, Porsche, Lotus Esprit Sport and a 1931 Lagona, as well as a Bentley. In 2009 he treated himself to a £150K helicopter that he used to commute to and from his £2.5m Herefordshire home, Bollitree Castle. He purchased the grade II listed building – which has six bedrooms, a swimming pool and 20 acres of land – with wife Mindy in 2008. James May – £31m James May is branded ‘Captain Slow’ but is sitting on a fortune[/caption] He was branded ‘Captain Slow’ on Top Gear – but we’re sure James May was laughing all the way to the bank after netting a smooth £31m. James reportedly made £500,000 a year from his 12-year stint on Top Gear, which ended in 2015 and has since been topped up thanks to The Grand Tour and a clever business deal. James, Jeremy and Richard co-founded production company W Chump & Sons Ltd, which owns the rights to the show – much like Clarkson did with Bedder 6. The trio reportedly make £18,783 per day from The Grand Tour and James is believed to be on £7.2m per year – roughly £600,000 per episode. Like Jeremy, the TV star owns an impressive array of cars including a Ferrari, Tesla, BMW, Rolls Royce and a Bentley – as well as a VW Beach Buggy used in the Amazon Prime show. James, who has a £5m home in Hammersmith and another property in Wiltshire, tops up his earnings by writing and fronting TV shows about cars, food and travel. Freddie Flintoff – £14.5m Freddie Flintoff has taken a break from filming but still bagged a bonus £500,000[/caption] Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff made a fortune from his cricket career as one of the best international all-rounders. He’s since used his cheeky personality to bag TV gigs including A League Of Their Own and Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams. He also won I’m A Celeb in 2015. It’s believed Freddie was paid £500,000 per season for Top Gear before his crash. Freddie, believed to be worth £14.5m, has beautiful cars ranging from a £180,000 Lamborghini to a slick black Porsche. Paddy McGuiness – £7.3 million Paddy McGuinness and ex Christine share a seven-bed Cheshire mansion[/caption] Paddy McGuinness became a household name after starring in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights and hosting dating show Take Me Out. He took over the BBC quiz show A Question Of Sport in 2021, and also earns £500,000 a year from Top Gear. Paddy, believed to be worth £7.3m, lives in a seven-bedroom Cheshire mansion with his estranged wife Christine and their three children. Despite owning a £115,000 Porsche Taycan Turbo T, Paddy claims he prefers driving vans. Chris Harris – £7m Chris Harris has an array of sports cars[/caption] Part-time journalist, racing car driver and presenter Chris Harris is believed to be worth £7m. For years he worked at Autocar magazine and later joined Drivers Republic and Evo to write about and review vehicles. The star topped up his earnings with the YouTube series Chris Harris On Cars, which was adapted for DRIVE and later bought by the BBC as a standalone series in 2016. In 2017 Chris signed up for Top Gear and reportedly took home around £716,000 per series. He also earned a tidy sum from racing in the Nurburgring Tournaments and Blancpain GT Series Endurance Amateur Cup. The star – who owns a Porsche, Mercedes Benz and Ferrari – was reportedly so ‘posh’ growing up that his parents hid his presents in their sauna. Chris is reportedly married with three children although he likes to keep his personal life private. Rory Reid – £3.9m Rory Reid was branded the ‘best ‘find’ since the Clarkson era’[/caption] Rory Reid was the ‘tech geek’ of the Top Gear crew, having made a name for himself as a tech journalist. Before presenting Top Gear between 2016 and 2019, he fronted Sky’s Gadget Geeks, ITV4 show Speed Freaks, and regularly appeared on The One Show. Throughout his time on Top Gear he presented its sister show, Extra Gear, and as of 2021 fronts Discovery+ show Fifth Gear Recharged. Rory, who’s reportedly worth £3.9m, drives a Ford Focus despite stating his dream car was a 1969 Corvette Stingray because astronauts drove them. The Stig – unknown Ben Collins, who was one of The Stig characters, earned £1.1m[/caption] Fast, faceless and worth a fortune, the drivers behind Top Gear’s The Stig character have made a fair amount, too. Perry McCarthy, who played the character in series one and two, is estimated to be worth £1m. He previously raced for Andrea Moda’s team in F1 before switching to drive sports cars, including in the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times. Racing driver Ben Collins was also one of the men behind The Stig – and reportedly earned £70,000 doing so – but denied it for years. In 2010 he released an autobiography finally outing himself as the character. Ben – reportedly worth £1.1m – has also been a stunt driver for Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale and Skyfall. The current Stig is unknown – and if Top Gear really is doomed, he may well take his secret to the grave. #Ultimate Top Gear host rich list – from star’s £479m fortune & £32m superyacht to presenter who commutes via helicopter https://ift.tt/uKT20Bz
