07.23.2008 HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN

Both Forbes and People have articles today about what actors and actresses make the most money in Hollywood, and I had to read over this thing like 4 times, partly because I can barely read, but also because this thing doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008, Will Smith was the highest paid male lead, banking around 80 million dollars.  Johnny Depp was close behind, earning 72.  Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy both made 55 thanks to "Shrek", and Leonardo DiCaprio made 45 thanks to being the best actor alive.  

Here’s where the list goes to hell: Cameron Diaz made 50 million god damn dollars, despite the fact that no one actually likes her.  Keira Knightley made 32.  Jennifer Aniston has never had a successful movie, and hasn’t had any movie for 2 years, yet somehow made 27.  Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow each made 25.  

What the hell is that?  I thought Hollywood was misogynistic and sexist and awful.  So how come the top 5 list features 4 visually disturbing hags?  Keira is the only hot one, and the only one who is even remotely likable.  The only way I'd ever watch a Cameron Diaz movie is if the description also included the words, "Megan Fox" and "cum-soaked".

    Excuse me while I go bawl my eyes out and scrape together change to get gas so I can make it to my fucking job.

    Not one of these shitty actors deserves a hot dog for their performances. Hey Cameron there is a left over hot dog on I-75

    Paltrow did what now during that time??? She shat out some kids and disappeared and makes that kind of cash….. I think for the first time I can use the word flabbergasted in all it's correct usage… I'm fuckin' flabbergasted.

    Jennifer Anniston made 27 million dollars… oddly, she seems a lot more attractive.

    Add a ball gag and she might be down-right tolerable.

    You're only a higly-paid actress in the US if fucking secretaries can't be intimidated by you.

    Google returns a surprisingly high number of hits when you search for:

    "Megan Fox" +"cum-soaked"

    How the fuck did Diaz make 50 mil last year??? Must still have access to Timberlake's bank account.

  12. Jisatsu 07/23/2008 13:21

    It's the evil that is Shrek……

    Ahhh, the joys of syndication.

    Mike Meyers made 55 million, huh? What I really want to know is how much of that he spent on gay porn and underaged call boys.

    Cameron Diaz made 50 million dollars…oddly, she does not seem any more attractive than before…although her name would look attractive now…on a marriage certificate alongside my name, closely followed by a nice, large, vested insurance policy with my name in the beneficiary section, even more closely followed by her name headlining an official death certificate…and I didn't even need Megan Fox or cum-soaked…

    Millions for doing nothing more than pretending. What a fucked up planet we live in..bring on the invasion.

  17. MG Admirer 07/23/2008 13:25

    Disagree philosophically with amount of money they're getting, but have no objection to Cameron Diaz.

    She's attractive and due to all that surfing she does, think of tight kegel muscles.

    Female celebrities can make money so many different ways…endorsing Tampons, for instance.  I honestly don't know what they have to bitch about, thay have half the money and ALL the pussy.

  19. thedudeabides 07/23/2008 13:25

    is that the "inconcievable" guy from princess bride behind Jennifer?
