Murphy, Meyers and Farrell are grossley overpaid. "Funny" coincidence they are all SNL alums. No pun intended.
GOOOOO WILL!
yeah, go away!
I can't imagine my paycheck being out there for everyone to see! But then, I can't imagine my work being out there for everyone to see,either. I guess if we supply the money to pay them... :)
I don't think the Olsen twins belong on that list... I thought "tween" indicated at least teen, if not younger.. Ashley T is also in her 20s, but I suppose she plays a tween in most of her acting?
Why am I not on the list? Oh, that's because it doesn't go THAT LOW! I don't know what I would do with all that money... invest, invest, invest. Oh, and spend, spend, spend. New Marc Jacobs purse every day!
haha, angie is paid only the half of jenny although she has to make much more movies.
This whole list makes me want to puke, no one on this list is remotly close to being worth these numbers. These numbers should be given to people who HELP make the world a better place not to some 2 bit actors who release **** ass movies. I mean lets be honest out of all these people MAYBE a handful are talented actors the rest are mediocore at best.
I don't understand why Leo DiCaprio is on the list at all? What did he do last year to earn 45 million? I find that confusing.
He made Ashecliffe, Body of Lies and Revolutionary Road... $15 mil a movie... sounds about right... he's a great actor!!! Love him!
So even that high up women are still paid SIGNIFICANTLY less. That's disturbing, as well as the exorbant amount of money these people make. Hopefully they use it for good in the world...
