Taylor Swift ranked at the top of Billboard’s Top 40 Money Makers in a list released today. Taylor came in at #1 with $35,719,000!

After wrapping the final leg of her Fearless tour, Taylor Swift’s blockbuster success two years ago left music industry observers wondering what she could possibly do for an encore. The pop-country superstar answered them with her smash Speak Now album and accompanying tour, which jetted through Asia and Europe in addition to making its way across North America. Grossing $88.5 million in the U.S. alone, the tour netted Swift a remarkable $29.8 million. Honored as Billboard’s Woman of the Year in December, she racked up U.S. album sales of 1.8 million units last year-led by booming business for late 2010′s Speak Now, which sold 967,000 units and digital single track sales of 7.8 million. Songwriting royalties were another highly beneficial source of income, given that Swift wrote all 14 Speak Now tunes herself.

Gwyneth Paltrow received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this afternoon, and who was at her side? Her husband Chris Martin? Course not! That would be her ‘Country Strong’ costar Tim McGraw and his wife, Faith Hill. Gwyneth and husband Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are very rarely photographed together. Same goes for her children, Apple, 6, and Moses, 4.

In the pictures below, Gwyneth also poses with ‘Glee’ actor Matthew Morrison. It was announced this morning that Gwyneth would be returning for another episode of ‘Glee’.

Tim McGraw has been voted People Country’s hottest guy! McGraw, 43, and a toned 173 lbs claims his wife country singer Faith Hill may not agree with their choice.

“My wife would pick George Strait,” he says. “She thinks he’s gorgeous! Or Kris Kristofferson. When we’re around him, she can barely speak.”

With a new no-alcohol policy and a tough workout routine, McGraw has managed to lose 37 lbs. and, he says, feels better than ever.

“I don’t feel whatever 43 is supposed to feel like – I still feel pretty young,” he says. “I’m more confident than I’ve ever been about who I am and what I do and I feel like I’ve got a lot more ahead of me than I do behind me.”

I agree with both People Country and Faith Hill. Both George Strait and Tim McGraw are for sure the hottest guys in country music. Although there are quite a few, they are at the top of the pack.

Do you agree with their choice? Who’s your hottest guy in country music?

Tim McGraw, who plays Sandra Bullock’s husband in The Blind Side, is speaking out about his costar, who is dealing with allegations of infidelity by her husband Jesse James.

“I haven’t [reached out to Bullock]. You know, she’s got a lot on her plate,” McGraw, 42, tells Entertainment Tonight Canada in an interview airing Friday. “I just wish her nothing but the best.”

McGraw, who spoke to ET Canada Thursday in Vancouver before his concert, added that Bullock, 45, can weather this marital storm. “She’s tough,” he says. “I’m not that tough.”

On the professional front, McGraw praises Bullock as a great teacher and coworker. “She’s such a professional. She’s so great. I’ve learned a lot from her,” he says. “We certainly got friendly. She’s a very friendly person. A really nice person.”

As for Bullock’s Best Actress Oscar win for The Blind Side, he says, “It’s such an elusive trophy, but her performance was so good that it was just so hard to overlook that.”

Tim McGraw apologized to fans Tuesday for his latest greatest hits album, saying his label should have instead released a record with new music.

“I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music,” says the country singer. “I’ve only had one studio album since my last hits package. It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me.”

McGraw, 41, said he has been working on a new studio album for more than a year and has debuted three new songs on his tour. But he said his label, Curb Records, decided to release a greatest hits album instead, to extend his contract term.

“I had no involvement in the creation or presentation of this record,” he says. “Sure, I love the songs and I don’t want to take anything away from all the creative people who were a part of making those records. But the whole concept is an embarrassment to me as an artist. In the spirit of an election year, I would simply say to my fans ‘I’m Tim McGraw, and I don’t approve their message.’ ”

A rep for Curb Records was not immediately available for comment.
