Dave I can think of three far more talented actresses not on that list: Ann Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Renee Zellweger.

Fifth place is entirely believable. Perhaps Bob could enlighten us with another actress who he thinks would be more deserving. I can't come up with one.

Cameron Diaz is rolling in Shrek money. That's where her ranking comes from.

I am still in therapy after my wife forced my to watch that dresses movie.

And on GA, she's in the middle of the most hated storyline in the history of television.

Light up another ciggy, and enjoy your 15 minutes.

Having worked with Katherine Heigl as an extra I can say, as far as I am concerned, that she is an absolute joy. She is very approachable, friendly and down to earth. The earning figures are also based on her fee for 27 Dresses and her new movie The Ugly Truth which is out next year I believe. Beautiful, funny and intelligent - to me the only surprise is that she is not top of the list.

Thats about 6.5 mill per talent? Yeah not so much. And considering what a PITA she is to work with you'd think that number will be dropping soon. say around the time Shonda kills her off with the whatever is wrong with her brain.... (on the show ;) ).

And how exactly is it pronounced? Like bagel with an "H"? "haggle"? "heil-gel"?

By those calculation methods, Jerry Seinfeld is paid 1000 million. Because he got that much in royalties for Seinfeld in Syndication, per episode starring in it and for his movies.

Seriously, this post is... ah yes.

She deserves it!!!

I'd think that this writer in particular would be able to understand where they came up with that $13 million number. Unless it's just a headline/story that's written in a manner to get readers. Either your ignorant or using tabloid tactics.

For the record, I think it's still an outrageous sum.

I believe the $13M calculation was based on her making $225k per episode of GA and a $6M salary for her next movie which combined puts her around $13M.

She is not the highest paid on GA and the salary is probably due to her Emmy and that GA is a top 5 demographic show. The movie salary is reflective that she has had 2 box office hits in the last year, Knocked Up and 27 Dresses.

It's a nice rant you had, but movie salaries are based on box office success and she has had it in a very limited landscape of women who bring in box office numbers. 27 Dresses did $27M in it's opening weekend and it was entirely her vehicle; Nicole Kidman and Australia would have loved to match that.

THAT IS BLASPHEMY. HER "TALENTS" DO NOT DESERVE THAT MUCH OF A REWARD.
