    I love Drew, she’s fun and cute, seems very sweet. So, good for her if she gets paid a lot to do little.

  2. Hautie says:

    Well Janet Charlton really liked the movie “Tower Heist”. I find the reviews on Pajiba to be hit and miss.

    It’s funny, I don’t dislike K-Stew at all, but I find it odd when people compliment her legs. To me they seem very un-toned and skinny – like mine, not like jennifer anistons or cameron diez, women I think of as having great legs.

  4. newtsgal says:

    From what I understand this is based on how much the person is paid to how much the return is from movies……If that is true then Jenifer Aniston should be the one on top for all of the crappy rom-com she keeps throwing at us.

  5. Dawn says:

    I think all of them are overpaid for simply entertaining the masses. I mean at the end of the day it’s not like she found a cure for cancer or anything that will help all of mankind. On the other hand she works hard, seems to have talent and doesn’t take herself all that seriously. But I’m not her biggest fan either; I mean she has some good stuff and some not so much, better than many and worse than some. So I guess I don’t begrudge her the money.

  6. jessiee says:

    LOVE Kerry Washington’s dress…and I rarely like any fancy dresses…

  7. INeedANap says:

    K.Stew has a pretty face and great hair, but her legs seem stuck in that awkward gawky teen phase. And she keeps wearing minis! No girl, just no.

  8. mln76 says:

    It’s actually about how much money a movie brings in vs salary apparently Drew brings in 40 cents for every dollar her movie earns OUCH!I personally don’t begrudge an actor for taking a fair share of the proven profit they make otherwise all the dough would just go to execs. I like Drew’s early 90’s movies like Ever After but I haven’t really watched a movie of her’s in theater except that movie about Roller Derby.

  9. Jayna says:

    Her 50 Dates movie with Adam Sandler is wonderful. I never tire of that movie when I see it on reruns. She was great in Grey Gardens on HBO.

  10. ShanKat says:

    I am so crazy for her damned ombre hair.

    If there’s one person whom I have no problem with being highly paid, it’s Drew.

  11. yuya says:

    I think it is actually how much they bring in per dollar they are paid. So, Drew is bringing in 40 cents for every dollar she is paid, whereas Tom Cruise brings in 6 bucks for every buck he is paid. So, yea, Drew is being overpaid.

  12. jamie says:

    Random thoughts:

    I’ve always really liked Drew and she’s the only female celeb that I can think of who actually makes me want to watch a movie just because she’s in it.

    I also think Kristen Stewart has great legs. IMO, anyone who’s got non-cellulity legs has great legs. How I envy you.

    Kerry Washington looks gorgeous. She would look hot in a hefty bag.

    Those Winklevoss twins are creepy.

  13. Sara says:

    Love Drew as an actor and she is aging very well!

  14. Happy21 says:

    I know I’m in the minority when I say I don’t really care for Drew Barrymore as an actress. She is cute in a few movies (50 first dates, never been kissed) but I have a very hard time taking her seriously. I don’t think she’s a good actress and I almost am embarrassed for her sometimes when I watch her.

    I do like her as a person though. She is adorable.

    I think most Hollywood actors/actresses are overpaid anyways.

    K-Stew has skinny legs. They aren’t bad legs but they are skinny and untoned. She can wear minis because she doesn’t have cottage cheese hanging out everywhere. I’m also sure that they would look better if she wasn’t so pasty.

    Only 2 weeks till Breaking Dawn 🙂

  15. Amanda G says:

    I don’t necessarily think Drew is a great actress, but I do end up seeing most of her movies. She is very charming and sweet and I respect her for getting her life together after having such a difficult childhood. 50 First Dates is one of my favorite movies!

  16. Kelly says:

    I agree – the winner should be Jennifer Aniston….I think Drew is okay. At least she’s herself.

  17. Carolyn says:

    Everyone in Hwood is overpaid. No-one is worth $10, $15 or $20 MILLION (for heaven’s sake) per movie. I quite like Drew. And I did like Whip It too. It’s about time they got called out over being unneccesarily greedy. PS LOL at the Duran Duran mention in the listing….they still rock!

  18. NotEmo says:

    KS should really rethink the too short dresses. Yes, she has skinny legs. But they are untoned and shapeless. And when the skirts are so short that any bending at all shows the Spanx, it’s time to reevaluate the length. Short can be sexy without being trashy. Add about 2 to 3 inches in length.

  19. Flim says:

    @ Dawn: I know this isnt exactly the right forum, but check out “Burzynski: The Movie.” Very compelling glimpse of why we “don’t” have a cure for cancer.

  20. Kelly says:

    I love Drew, that’s too bad. Not surprised about Cruise or Witherspoon though, surprised they aren’t tied for no 1

  21. Auds says:

    Drew is overrated, overpaid…honestly. As far as her productions go, how may moron screenwriters does she employ? The recent failure of Charlies Angels for TV was filled with cliches.
    I used to watch her movies, but then I realised that she practically plays every role the same way, so I got over her quickly.
    Those Winklevoss twins may as well be the real life version of the twins in the film Dead Ringer [with Jeremy Irons]. They look that creepy and devious.

  22. orion70 says:

    Has she had a little work done? Something looks different about her face.

    Love her though.

  23. Gigohead says:

    Frankly, I don’t understand how that Forbes list works. OK I believe Drew isn’t as bankable as she thinks she is. However, I find it hard to believe that when taken collectively, that Eddie Murphy hasn’t delivered. Thought the Klumps and his Beverly Hills movies were huge blockbusters. Plus add the Shrek movies.

  24. dovesgate says:

    @Gigohead
    They didn’t count animated movies which is why none of the Shrek money would count for Eddie Murphy.

    I just find it hard to believe that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are #’s 9 and 10 on that list. Who goes to the movies to see them?

  25. Dani says:

    I had completely forgotten about the women. She does look good in these shots. Her body looks especially good in the first photo, and I love that color on her in the second.

  26. ZenB!tch says:

    I avoid Drew movies. I like her as my local Cover Girl model. She’s adorable but her movies are stupid.

  27. normades says:

    This “bankable” business is Bullsh*. The most profitable actors are probably Taylor Lauter or Shia Lebaby just because of the franchises they were in.

    Drew is Hollywood royalty who has been in some of the most iconic films of all time. She can get a project off the ground and even if the movie doesn’t make a ton of money she’s worth every penny.

  28. Lucy says:

    I was surprised to not see Tom Cruise at the top of the list.

  29. mln76 says:

    Did anyone even bother to read the article??? They compiled the data looking at the movies(including initial rental sales) that each actor made over the last 5 years. Cartoons weren’t included which explains why Shrek did nothing for Murphy. Most telling was that while Drew made 40 cents on the dollar Murphy came in #2 at 2.60 for each dollar a HUGE jump. We may all love Drew but we don’t watch her movies. Did anyone watch Going the Distance in a movie theater or rent it immediately??? I don’t think so it made 16 mill off of a 30 mill budget. Drew should stick to cable movies Grey Gardens was well recieved.

  30. JaneWonderfalls says:

    I like Drew, it’s Hollywood everyone is overpaid. I’m sure many of the men in Hollywood are as well.

  31. Mar says:

    Drew’s movies are not good. Shed had a few good roles but her acting is so so
