According to the news, the 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of Records names Madonna who earned $50 million in 2004, the highest paid female singer on the planet. Last year the title went to Pop Celebrity Britney Spears, who had held the record since 2001. More bad news for Britney as the R&B Celebrity Janet Jackson replaced her in Web rankings for the worlds most searched-for female and most searched-for news item. The Hollywood Celebrity Brad Pitt was the most searched man.
