In hip-hop dollars, Dr. Dre Beats 'em all

WHEN IT comes to money, no one in hip-hop beats Dr. Dre.

Beats, get it?

Thanks to his ownership stake in the headphone company sold to Apple, Dre has finished No. 1 in Forbes' latest list of the top earners in hip-hop.

His pretax earnings? $620 million - the biggest number of any entertainer ever evaluated by Forbes, the magazine said, and more than the combined earnings of the other 24 heavy-hitters on the Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.

Even among the 1 percent, there's a 1 percent.

Dre's haul was 10 times the amount of the second-place finishers, Diddy and Jay Z, who tied at $60 million. Both men are well-diversified with music, liquor and more contributing to their wealth.

It's another big drop to Drake at No. 4 ($33 million), just ahead of No. 5 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ($32 million).

At No. 6 on the chart, but No. 1 in his heart, is Kanye West ($30 million). Lucky No. 7 was Birdman at $24 million, followed by Lil Wayne ($23 million), Pharrell Williams ($22 million) and Eminem ($18 million).

Showing that hip-hop is still very much a boy's club, the only woman to crack the top 20 was No. 11, Nicki Minaj, at $14 million. And that's pre-"Anaconda."

Philly's own Questlove, of the Roots, just missed the list's $7 million cutoff, according to Forbes.

TMZ.com reports that Ariana Grande insists the purported bare-butt shots of the "Problem" singer are not her bare butt.

She told paparazzi who approached her at LAX that the pics in question weren't her belly-button ring, her hair, her profile, and that she doesn't take pictures like that.

* Whether they're legitimately the brains behind the hacking scandal or merely angry misogynist trolls is unclear, but 4chan posters are now threatening Emma Watson that her nude shots will be leaked next because they claim to be upset by Watson's HeForShe gender-equality speech at the U.N. last weekend.

Come on, guys, don't you have another level to reach in World of Warcraft?

* Steve-O, meanwhile, is daring hackers to post his post.

He told TMZ.com that he was storing lots of graphic photos of his junk in the iCloud and challenged the hackers to unzip his files.

At some point there will be an awakening for the share-everything, free-content generation. For sisters Sarah and Elizabeth Turner, that awakening has arrived.

According to TMZ.com, back in 2011, the pair was approached by Stanford student Evan Spiegel about posing on the beach for his iPhone app called Picaboo.

They agreed. For free.

That was then . . .

Picaboo is now Snapchat, the premiere sexting app, the sisters have become the unwitting faces of Snapchat (known on the Internet as the "Snapchat sluts") and the app has been valued by some to be worth . . . $10 billion.

They're reportedly suing for a fair share.

* Bob Dylan will be honored as the 2015 MusiCares person of the year.

A news release yesterday said that Dylan will be honored at the foundation's 25th anniversary tribute Feb. 6 in L.A., two days before the Grammys.

Norah Jones, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Crosby, Stills and Nash (c'mon guys, Young is going to be there), Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Vedder, John Mellencamp, Los Lobos and Jack White are among the musicians signed up to salute Dylan at the annual event to benefit the Recording Academy's charitable foundation.

Recent honorees include Young, Carole King, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

* Back in 2011, "Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland and her then-BF, Matt Prokop, were on "The View" discussing their Disney Channel movie "Geek Charming" and how much in love they were.

Last month came word that they had split amicably.

TMZ.com is now reporting that Sarah has gotten a temporary restraining order against Matt, claiming that he terrorized her both verbally and physically during the last four years of their five-year relationship.

At one point during the breakup process, Sarah reportedly called TV mom Julie Bowen for help and Bowen was witness to Matt wigging out.

* Yesterday we mentioned that Colin Farrell had signed on for Season 2 of "True Detective."

HBO confirmed later yesterday that one of his partners will be Vince Vaughn.

The new season, reports the Los Angeles Times, written solely by creator Nic Pizzolatto, will center on "three police officers and a career criminal [who] must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder."

Justin Lin ("Fast & Furious") will direct the first two episodes.

* Correction: Yesterday's story about Jasmine Tridevil and her third breast appears to have been a hoax.

Ms. Tridevil, it seems, has two breasts and too much time on her hands.
