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".
