HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Hollywood and Washington celebrities Madonna, Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt and Hillary Clinton have found their way into the Guinness World Records.

With her $50 million in earnings last year, "Material Girl" Madonna replaced Britney Spears for highest annual earnings by a female singer, ABC News said Friday.

Spears also was supplanted in another category: Janet Jackson now has the distinction for causing the largest fine imposed on a broadcaster after her infamous "wardrobe malfunction" during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, ABC said.

Actor-director Clint Eastwood, at 6 foot, 4 inches, is one of the tallest male actors. Sigourney Weaver, standing 6 feet tall, is among the tallest actresses.

Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt was the man most sought on search engine Google.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., earned top spot for penning the fastest-selling non-fiction book after her memoir sold 200,000 in one day.

The 2007 version of the Guinness World Records went on sale Friday.
