Indian food in Manhattan just entered a new era, with three upscale restaurants, Junoon, Tamarind Tribeca and Tulsi all earning stars in the latest Michelin guide, published this month.
Last month, for instance, saw the launch of Innerstar University, created by a US toy company, in which pre-teens can create doll avatars to navigate the campus of a virtual university, earning stars by competing cheerleading or horseriding games that can then be redeemed for pets or a haircut.
Through Empire mode, the player works though a number of pre-determined setlists and boss battles (as described below) with the celebrity avatars and fictional DJ's at one of six different venues, earning stars that unlock additional venues to play at.
Players share the benefits of earning stars for their own respective profiles, thus, a player that may have difficulty completing one song on their own could join with a band that is able to complete it, benefiting from the gain in stars should they then play by themselves or with another group.
Forbes compiled the list of top earning stars by speaking to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to find out what money stars received upfront for movies in development and earnings from released films.
The amount of money it spends on its biggest earning stars has been cut by more than £2m following the departure of some of its most familiar faces, including former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
