Part one of Forbes Magazine’s “Best Paid Celebrities Under 30″ list was dominated by the athletes. But celebrities 1-10 are mostly musicians. A few of them are newcomers, who have somehow found a way to get around the slump the entertainment industry has been in for the last decade. African-Americans, however, are grossly misrepresented. Flip through the pages below and check out who rounds out the list of the past year’s highest earning celebrities under 30. (Editor’s Note: Part 1 of the list inadvertently skipped Lil Wayne at #20, and listed #10, Rafael Nadal , at #11.)

The recent – and somewhat surprising – beef between Brooklyn rap diva Foxy Brown and radio vet Tom Joyner may go deeper than what fans have seen so far. According to our source, as Foxy herself stated via Twitter , the very notion that Tom Joyner’s staff had to kick the rapper off of his Fantastic Voyage cruise is a fabrication. “Foxy was never contracted to be on the ship for the duration of the cruise,” the source tells BOSSIP. “She was scheduled to leave the cruise on Friday morning, having performed on Thursday night.” The source reveals that what lies behind Tom Joyner’s allegations that Foxy became too difficult to deal with is what the rapper saw as she made her way back to her cabin around 4am Friday morning. Foxy allegedly spotted Joyner in the hallway, embroiled in a very private conversation with a man who looked “suspect,” shall we say. Foxy, who had some remaining tension with Tom from their recent interview, made her presence known by bursting into laughter. Foxy left the ship at 7am, and that afternoon, Tom was on air saying that the the known drama queen had to be put off the ship. But as our informant points out, Joyner has yet to reveal exactly how Foxy was “acting a fool”? Was this a preemptive strike on Tom’s part to discredit anything Foxy might have to say?
