What will it take for A-list actresses to earn as much as actors?
The ninth-highest grossing movie of the year so far — with $153 million in U.S. box office sales — is “Sex and the City,” a film that features four leading women and a cursory supporting role for Mr. Big. The 11th highest grossing film is “Mamma Mia,” another estrogen fest, which has earned $144 million.
So with female-centric movies performing so well at the box office (between them, the two films have earned $980 million worldwide), why are women still earning so much less than their male counterparts?
Only two women make the list of the top 10 earning actors in Hollywood between June 2007 and June 2008. Cameron Diaz comes in fifth with $50 million for her work in solid romantic comedies like “What Happens in Vegas” and “The Holiday.” She also earned big for her voice work in the “Shrek” films as the far-from-helpless Princess Fiona.
But she earned a full $30 million less than Hollywood’s highest earner, Will Smith, who cashes mega paychecks for films like the post-apocalyptic “I Am Legend.” In the same time period, Smith earned $80 million.
Hollywood’s top earners
Will Smith — $80 million:
Smith earns big bucks for his action hero roles in films like Hancock and I Am Legend. But he’s also looking out for an Oscar. He was nominated for his work in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness.
Johnny Depp — $72 million:
Depp rakes it in with his bizarre turn as drunken Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Rumors are now swirling that he’ll earn $56 million upfront for a fourth installment.
Eddie Murphy — $55 million:
The reclusive comedian may have bombed with his most recent film, Meet Dave, but his overall track record for family-friendly fare is good enough for studios to keep producing his movies.
Mike Myers — $55 million:
His Shrek movies appeal to both kids and grown-ups, but his live-action films are a tougher sell. His summer movie The Love Guru earned a paltry $41 million worldwide.
Cameron Diaz — $50 million:
The top-earning woman on our list, Diaz turns out solid performances in romantic comedies like this year’s What Happens in Vegas. But she still earned $30 million less than top-earning actor Will Smith last year.
Leonardo DiCaprio — $45 million:
DiCaprio is the rare actor who can bring in large audiences for adult fare like Blood Diamond and The Aviator. He’s been nominated for three Oscars but has yet to win.
Bruce Willis — $41 million:
His action star days are mostly behind him, but Willis still managed to fill seats with his fourth turn as John McClane in last year’s Live Free or Die Hard.
Ben Stiller — $40 million:
Stiller’s Night at the Museum was a monster hit earning $575 million at the worldwide box office. No surprise that a sequel is in the works for next year.
Nicolas Cage — $38 million:
Cage’s films can be hit or miss but he still earns big paychecks. They pay off when a movie like National Treasure: Book of Secrets earns $457 million worldwide.
Keira Knightley — $32 million:
The second woman on our list, Knightley earns out from her role in the Pirate movies as Elizabeth Swan. When not appearing in the blockbusters, she sticks to more serious films like last year’s Atonement.
Will Smith was the highest earning actor of 2007 according to Forbes.
Smith brought in $80 million last year. Cameron Diaz was the top earning actress with $50 million. I love reporting on celebrity paychecks, it’s absolutely ridiculous how much they earn.
The top 5 earning celebrity men in Hollywood are:
1. Will Smith - $80 million
2. Johnny Depp - $72 million
3. Eddie Murphy - $55 million
4. Mike Myers - $55 million
5. Leonardo DiCaprio - $45 million
The top 5 earning celebrity women in Hollywood are:
1. Cameron Diaz - $50 million
2. Keira Knightley - $32 million
3. Jennifer Aniston - $27 million
4. Reese Witherspoon - $25 million
5. Gwenyth Paltrow - $25 million
How is it possible that Eddie Murphy earned that much, when we have the likes of “Meet Dave” as our most recent example of his work. The same goes for “The Love Guru” and Mike Myers.
See the entire list at Forbes.
Eddie Murphy will be returning as Axel Foley, a mere sixteen years after we last saw him.
 On the heels of the successful revival of the “Indiana Jones” franchise, Paramount has set in motion a fourth installment of “Beverly Hills Cop.” Eddie Murphy is attached to reprise his role as Detroit detective Axel Foley, and Brett Ratner is negotiating to direct. Studio is aiming for a 2009 production start and a summer 2010 release.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce. Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original “Beverly Hills Cop” trilogy with late partner Don Simpson, won’t be actively involved in the new film.
Murphy approached the studio about reviving the franchise that cemented his status as a B.O. mega-star. Par brass were eager to land another picture with Murphy after he finished the Karey Kirkpatrick-directed “NowhereLand,” which Paramount releases in June 2009.
It might be a bit contrived after all this time but I’m sure it’ll be a huge hit.
“Isaac,” subbing for Matt Yglesias, observes, “One advantage to starting a series when your star is 23-years-old … is that you can make a sequel a quarter of a century later and he will still be mobile.” True that.

Mel B proves Eddie Murphy is missing out on some sweet Spice Girl action with her new campaign for Ultimo lingerie.
Her photoshoot used the views from around LA as her backdrop which, in my opinion, looks like something from those cheap Victoria Secret knockoff catalogues. The employment of Mel has left Sarah Harding without a current job. As the former spokes model for the brand she was ready to start her third season modeling for the panty and bra line when they dropped her and opted to use the Spice Girl.
This woman has recently had a baby an there isn’t a stretch mark or any sign of being pregnant. I now am green with envy and plan on living on tofu for the rest of my life.

Rock is under fire once again for his alleged rape debacle. No charges were ever filled and a lawsuit filled by Monica Zsibrita was dropped. Chris, while still married, engaged in a one night stand with Zsibrita in 1998. Later the mistress for the night claimed that Rock forced himself on her. The issue then went to the police. After details that Monica had saved a tissue with Chris’ semen on it, he phoned Pellicano to discuss the next step in getting him off the hook.
 
Somehow, the detective managed to get his hands on the police report and the conversation that followed was recorded. Of course the 31 minute tape has made its way to the Huffington Post.
14:00
Pellicano (reading from report): “He tried to pull out and ejaculated on her thighs. She immediately got up and went to the bathroom where she cleaned up with a Kleenex. She put the Kleenex in her pocket.”
14:55
CR: I’ve been so set up…
AP: Did you come on her thighs?…
CR: I had a rubber on. I probably took it off right when I was getting ready to come. I probably came on her ass.
22:00
AP: Did you stick it in her? Without a rubber?
CR: No
24:45
AP: Now we got to go get this thing legally, which means we gotta subpoena it.
25:50
CR: It never stops
AP: It’s gonna stop. I’m going to make it stop.
30:05
CR: Rape is just fucking, buzz, you know?… Once you’re accused of rape, you’re just FUCKED, you know?
AP: That’s why i want to blacken this girl up, totally. I want to make her out to be a lying, scumbag, manipulative cocksucker… Stupid bitch
CR: I’m fucked. I’m better getting caught with needles in my arm. WAY better. Needles, with pictures, there’s Chris Rock shooting heroin. Much better blow to the career.
It is like a crash course in crisis management. Remember to stick to your guns like Eddie Murphy. Always say you were just trying to be a good Samaritan by giving the tranny hooker a lift.

Elizabeth Banks, the “40 Year Old Virgin” hottie, is interviewed and photographed at GQ.
 Just when you thought you’d sooner sport a Santa cap at the office holiday party than show up to see Vince Vaughn in Fred Claus—this year’s front-runner for the annual Tim-Allen-Christmas-Schlock Award—you turn the page and there’s Elizabeth Banks. The one who plays, as she puts it, “the ‘Mistress of the Elves’…though perhaps that’s a little more sexual than I should imply.” And while this fact alone could fill you with enough childlike wonderment to last the New Year, know this: In real life, Banks is at least as much of a go-getter as her role as Santa’s overachieving helper implies. As you talk with her, she tells you some things—that she graduated from Penn, that you should have gone with Maroney over Tomlinson on your fantasy squad, that she’s just wrapped a movie in which she stars opposite one of her comedy idols, Eddie Murphy (it’s called Starship Dave, out next year)—that make you think, I could learn a thing or two. Here’s what we picked up.
The rest of the pics below the fold. Slightly NSFW.
Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown has stated to Hello! magazine, that her new husband, Stephen Belafonte, isn’t an “aggressive, violent, woman batterer” and that “papers” don’t directly implicate Belafonte.
She said,
 “They’re trying to make him out to be this aggressive, violent, woman batterer and he’s not.
If you read those police reports, they never say he physically beat up a woman. He hasn’t been the best of people. I know everything that he’s done. He went through group therapy and counseling, but he’s fully aware of what he’s done.”
Yet TMZ reports, um… yes, the ‘papers’ clearly state “violence used against spouse”.
The worst thing you can do with an abuser, is defend their actions.
What Other’s Said:
- Dlisted says, Spoken like a true delusional wife! People see him as a woman beater, because he’s been charged with it! It’s the facts!
- Blowing Smoke says, Okay, even IF Scary Spice, aka Melanie Brown, got knocked up on purpose to nab herself a rich dude - and I don’t think she did, because she seems gullible enough to have really fallen for him - there is something deeply dishonorable and unmanly about letting another man look after your child.
- A Socialite’s Life says, Well, uh why was he charged and given a sentence for it? What did he do, then? Yell loud? Or is he one of those freaks that makes the woman split everything 50/50, right on down to the tampons?

Eddie Murphy is getting in on the public opinion war and threatening legal action against former lover Melanie Brown. Murphy is accusing Brown of extortion and defamation. The actor’s legal team has issued a cease and desists against Brown, demanding she stops using his name in press interviews.
 In a letter to the star, Murphy accuses Brown of “disseminating disparaging, negative and defamatory statements” and making highly “unreasonable extortionate demands” regarding the care of their daughter Angel Iris.
According to Murphy’s lawyer Marty Singer, Brown demanded he buy her a $9 million home in Malibu and allow her to live in it for the next 18 years. Brown and Murphy are embroiled in a bitter battle over child support payments for their four-month-old daughter.
Nothing like putting differences aside, making the child first priority, and providing a loving home.

DNA is a crazy thing. From beyond the grave, James Brown was named the father of two more children on Friday. He publicly acknowledged six children, but now LaRhonda Petitt and another unidentified individual are also Brown’s kids.
Petitt, who was interviewed by the Augusta Chronicle, is 45-years-old — the oldest of Brown’s identified children. She revealed that Brown picked her mother out of a Los Angeles audience and the two began dating, but that Brown split when he found out about the pregnancy.
Said Petitt, “I was angry that he was out there making all this money, and he wasn’t doing anything for my mother and me. I could have had a better life.” Several people have claimed to be Brown’s babies, but so far, only two of the dozen or so tested have been positively identified.
Keep it up, Eddie Murphy, and this will be your life…

“Our relationship may have been brief but it was intense and we were very much in love and wanted to have a family together. That’s that. I mean we’re both tattooed. You don’t tattoo somebody’s name on your body if it’s brief and unimportant, let’s put it that way.”
