Candice Glover's life is about to change in more ways than one.

The talented R&B vocalist was crowned as the Season 12 winner of American Idol last night, beating out country singer Kree Harrison for the title in what was just the second all-female season finale in the show's history (and the first since 2004). Candice said that she was "speechless" after the win, but acknowledged that "the work is only to get bigger from here on out."

The paychecks are about to get bigger as well. Several former Idol winners are still raking in millions long after their time on the show (and even non-winners like Clay Aiken reportedly pocket $25,000 per night while on tour). Check out the show's five biggest moneymakers in 2012!

The Met Gala is one of the most important nights of a celebrity’s year (unless you’re Gwyneth Paltrow). How does a star prepare for such an event? First, by selecting an edgy designer outfit to fit the night’s punk theme. Secondly, by making sure clothes, makeup, and hair are all absolutely flawless. Third, by vacuuming their bathroom.

Err… what?

Madonna posted a photo of herself doing just that in her Met Gala attire with the caption, “Tidying up before the #metball,” and if that was the end of it, we wouldn’t have given it much thought. However, the Instagram post proved to be so popular that vacuum cleaner sales doubled and now Madge may be getting her very own line of “Immaculate Collection” vacuums.
