Dr. Dre could be set to become hip-hop's first billionaire.
The rapper and producer is in talks to sell his Beats Electronics headphones business to technology giant Apple for $3.2billion, making him the richest hip hop star in the world, according to the Financial Times.
In a recent article in Forbes magazine, Dre ranked as the second wealthiest rapper, behind Puff Daddy, whose estimated worth is $700 million, but the new deal would put him ahead of the star, who has earned money from his Revolt TV business as well as music.
Dre prematurely described himself as "the first billionaire in hip hop" in a video posted on Instagram, which has since been taken down, as the Forbes.com claims he would only cash in on his 20 to 25 per cent stake in the business, meaning his net worth increase from $550 million to about $800 million.

Selena Gomez reportedly "doesn't care" whom Justin Bieber dates.
The 21-year-old pop star and her on/off boyfriend have called time on their relationship once again and the "Baby" hitmaker has posted a number of photographs on Instagram with model Yovanna Ventura, who is rumored to be his new girlfriend, but Selena isn't bothered about their romance.
"Selena doesn't care who Justin is dating. All she knows is she's done with him and his immature behavior. He's all talk and no action," a source said.
Eyewitnesses apparently saw Justin and Yovanna together looking cozy in Vegas at the recent Floyd Mayweather fight and later on Venice Beach and Justin has previously been linked to Selena's former friend Kylie Jenner. "If he wants to date [a] teenager like Kylie or a wannabe model, then let him. She's done and moving on from the broken promises and drama," the source added.

Chris Brown has been sentenced to 131 days in prison.
The 24-year-old singer has been forced to spend just over four months behind bars after he admitted in a Los Angeles court yesterday that he violated his probation by getting into a fight in Washington D.C. last year.
The judge, James R. Brandlin, originally sentenced the "Loyal" hitmaker to 365 days in custody, but gave him credit for the 234 days he has already spent in rehab and jail. However, it is unclear how long he will actually serve as he could get out earlier due to over-crowding in the prison.
The judge also ordered Chris, who has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, to attend therapy sessions with a shrink twice a week and undergo random drug testing three times a week, according to TMZ.com.

Courtney Love turned down a night with Russell Brand.
The 49-year-old rocker - who was famously married to late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain until his death in 1994 - has claimed she spurned the comedian's advances because of his "musky" stench.
Appearing on British talk show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she recalled, "When we were friends, he tried to hit on me. He goes, 'I have had a lot of grand conversations, darling, but none of them have ended in an orgasm. Can we go in a room?' I said to him, 'Russell, you are too musky for me, man.' He is a little musky. We did yoga together and the musk was there."
While Courtney refused to be a notch on Russell's list of sexual conquests, the pair remain friendly and she even thinks of him as a British "national treasure." The star added, "I do think he is a national treasure. God, I wish I was as good as him. He flirts with men openly too."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Sports, Pregnancies, Rumors,
Pink is reportedly pregnant with her second child.
The 34-year-old singer, who already has two-year-old daughter Willow, has sparked rumors she's expecting another baby with her husband Carey Hart after her beau was seen rubbing her stomach in New York last month.
"They were cuddling and he kept rubbing her tummy. She was quick to move his hand away in case anyone saw. But it was pretty obvious," a source said.
The pregnancy rumors don't come as a complete surprise as the "So What" hitmaker - whose real name is Alecia Hart - admitted last year she is desperate to extend her family because she thinks motherhood is the "best thing." She said at the time, "I want a basketball team [of kids]. It's [motherhood is] the best thing I've done. In 10 years I'll have an 11 year old and an eight year old and a five year old and a three year old and a six month old and 18 dogs, a horse and a pig."

The couple, who got engaged in October, allegedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Los Angeles this weekend after securing their marriage license last week. "Kim and Kanye are now married on paper. They got their license in California over the past few days," a source said.
However, the secretive ceremony won't be their only wedding as it is set to be followed by a lavish extravaganza in Paris later this month in front of all their family, friends and celebrity acquaintances. The loved-up duo - who have 10-month-old daughter North together - are set to walk down the aisle on May 24 before jetting off to a secret location on honeymoon.
Kim, 33, and Kanye, 36, were forced to legally wed in California before their romantic bash in Paris after it was revealed the French law requires a strict 40-day residency before they can get married in the country. However, the pair are determined to make their Parisian wedding an experience their 200 guests will never forget, so have hired the Trianon Palace Hotel for them to stay in.

Kate Hudson would like to get married "sooner rather than later."
The 35-year-old actress admits she has no plans to tie the knot with her beau Matt Bellamy as of yet, but she'd definitely like to get hitched in the near future. "We still don't have any plans to get married, but eventually we will... probably sooner rather than later," she told Extra.
However, the blonde beauty - who has 10-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to Chris Robinson and two-year-old son Bingham with Matt - has already ruled out this summer for kick-starting her wedding plans because both she and Matt, who have been engaged for three years, are too busy with their globe-trotting careers at the moment. When asked how she finds time to plan her wedding, she said recently, "You don't [have time to plan a wedding with a busy career], which is why I'm not [planning my wedding]. We got a busy summer. We're really looking forward to it. I'm shooting a movie and so you know, we're doing a bunch this summer."
