15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer

As we all know the summer brings all the big Hollywood blockbuster movies, which for the moviestars is a vital time because if there movie becomes a smash hit then they can ask for a bigger salary – if not then they will forever be tied to a movie bombing.

With this in mind, Forbes have put together a list of 15 moviestars who are in need of a hit with their summer blockbuster, be it to cement their career of a top grossing actor or redeem their fading career.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 01

1. Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man 2

The first Iron Man took Hollywood by surprise with its mix of rapid-fire dialogue and hard-hitting action. Audiences loved the film, spending $585 million on tickets at the box office. The sequel looks like it will live up to the original–it’s already earned $100 million abroad.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 02

2. Tom Cruise, Knight and Day

Cruise hasn’t had a major hit since 2006′s Mission: Impossible III. The star needs Knight and Day to bring in the crowds this summer. The actor earned some good buzz with his comedic cameo in 2008′s Tropic Thunder. Knight and Day (co-starring Cameron Diaz) could be just the mix of comedy and action Cruise needs for a comeback.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 03

3. Angelina Jolie, Salt

In her career, Jolie has vacillated between action flicks like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Oscar bait like The Changeling. It seems the actress might be settling into the action life. She follows up the 2008 shoot-’em-up hit Wanted with this summer’s Salt, about a rogue CIA agent. Hollywood will be watching the box office returns to see if they prove she’s an action star worthy of $15 million a film.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 04

4. Russell Crowe, Robin Hood

Crowe has had a rough couple of years. His last two films, State of Play and Body of Lies, disappointed at the box office. So there’s a lot riding on Robin Hood, Universal’s new take on the old story. With Cate Blanchett along for the ride as Marion, the film is sure to focus as much on acting as on bow and arrow action.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 05

5. Julia Roberts, Eat Pray Love

“Chick flicks” like The Proposal, Sex and The City and Mamma Mia have performed well over the past few summers, so hopes are high for Roberts’ newest film, Eat Pray Love, based on the best-selling book by Elizabeth Gilbert. Roberts could use a hit. Her last big box office winner (aside from the Ocean’s films) was 2001′s America’s Sweethearts.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 06

6. Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City 2

The first Sex and the City film was a smash hit, earning $415 million at the box office on an estimated budget of $65 million. The filmmakers are taking a risk with the sequel by taking Carrie and her friends out of Manhattan. If the movie’s a hit, though, it will mean big bucks for Parker, who is also a producer on the film.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 07

7. Jake Gyllenhaal, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Gyllenhaal is best known for his work in serious movies like Donnie Darko, Zodiac and Brokeback Mountain. It’s quite a departure for the actor to take on the lead role in Prince of Persia, which is based on a videogame. If the film is a hit, Gyllenhaal might have found a second career for himself playing action heroes.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 08

8. Leonardo DiCaprio, Inception

Leo finally had a big hit with Shutter Island. He needs that streak to continue if he’s going to hold onto his reputation as an actor worth $20 million for serious adult movies. Few films have been as shrouded in secrecy as Christopher Nolan’s Inception, which hits theaters July 16. It has something to do with technology and dreams, but that’s as much as anyone knows. Considering Nolan was the man behind The Dark Knight, Inception could be a huge hit.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 09

9. Jennifer Aniston, The Switch

Aniston has had a run of bad luck at the box office lately. Love Happens and The Bounty Hunter both bombed despite the presence of strong costars like Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart. She needs The Switch to do well to maintain her reputation as a solid romantic comedy star.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 10

10. Will Ferrell, The Other Guys

Ferrell starred in one of the biggest bombs of 2009 last summer: Land of the Lost, which earned only $68 million on an estimated budget of $100 million. Ferrell needs The Other Guys to be a hit. It helps that the cop movie has a lower budget than the effects-heavy Land of the Lost.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 11

11. Matt Damon, The Adjustment Bureau

Thanks to the Bourne movies, Damon has starred in some top-earning films. But he’s also been in his share of duds. Recent movies like The Informant, Green Zone and Invictus have disappointed at the box office. The Adjustment Bureau is the directorial debut of writer George Nolfi, who penned The Bourne Ultimatum.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 12

12. Steve Carell, Dinner for Schmucks and Despicable Me

If Carell leaves The Office next year, as rumored, he’ll have a burgeoning career as a movie star–his films this summer could either add to his momentum or break it. His most recent film, Date Night, has had a respectable run, earning $109 million at the box office worldwide. Dinner for Schmucks, co-starring Paul Rudd, is getting good buzz, as is the animated Despicable Me.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 13

13. Mark Wahlberg, The Other Guys

Wahlberg is one of those dependable actors who can go between action films like Max Payne and serious dramas like The Lovely Bones with no problem. But until recently he’s stayed away from comedies. His shirtless performance in the comedy Date Night has audiences excited for the upcoming film The Other Guys, which stars Wahlberg and Will Ferrell.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 14

14. Cameron Diaz, Shrek 4 and Knight and Day

The Shrek movies (which co-star Diaz as Princess Fiona) have been some of the biggest earners of all time, bringing in a total $2.2 million (EDIT: should read $2.2 billion) at the global box office so far. The fourth and final film is sure to be a box-office winner, especially because it’s being shown in 3-D. Audiences will be able to see Diaz in Knight and Day, which co-stars Tom Cruise.

15 Stars Who Need A Hit This Summer 15

15. Adam Sandler, Grown Ups

For his latest movie, Sandler brought along fellow Saturday Night Live veterans like Chris Rock and Rob Schneider for a big family ensemble comedy. The presence of Kevin James (hot off of last year’s Paul Blart: Mall Cop) could make the film a summer hit.

People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People For 2010

As you may have seen on the cover of Sandra Bullock‘s shocking People Magazine cover, they are also putting their World’s Most Beautiful People for 2010 in the issue, so lets take a look at some of the people they are including:

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 01

Julia Roberts

At 42, the mother of three (twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 5, and Henry, 2) is celebrating her fourth turn as the cover girl for PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful. While the star of the upcoming film Eat, Pray, Love is as lovely as ever, old pal George Clooney says he knows her secret. “It has nothing to do with the way she looks,” he says. “It has everything to do with who she is.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 02

Channing Tatum

He is Hollywood’s leading man in uniform. So how does the Dear John star, 30, maintain that ripped army-issue physique? “Do I get massages? Hell yeah, I get massages!” he says. “Are you kidding me? I wanna get one right now! Where’s a masseuse?”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 03

Zoe Saldana

The mega-success of Avatar has landed the native New Yorker on red carpets all over the world – and on countless best-dressed lists. Her secret to mastering the red carpet? “I have learned to have at least one arm on my waist,” Saldana, 31, tells PEOPLE. “And I have also learned not to talk when I’m am posing.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 04

Scarlett Johansson

Dubbed a “bombshell” when she was just a teen, Johansson, 25, has two must-have beauty staples: “Red lipstick and sandwiches.” That’s not surprising to her Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau, who says that “when you’re hanging out with her on the set, she’s just like one of the guys.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 05

Jake Gyllenhaal

He plays the adventurous – and buff! – Prince of Persia this summer, but off-screen the actor, 29, is a regular guy who doesn’t need much to make him happy. “I feel my best after a home-cooked meal with family and friends,” he says.

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 06

Jennifer Aniston

“I feel beautiful when I’m laughing and surrounded by friends that know me and love me and vice versa,” says Aniston, who celebrated her 41st birthday in February with good pals Courteney Cox and Sheryl Crow in Mexico. “A good body scrub and massage do the trick as well.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 07

Sofia Vergara

The Modern Family star has her own family secret: She’s not actually a brunette. “My natural hair color is blonde,” says the Colombian beauty, 37. “It didn’t match the Hollywood stereotype for a Latina woman.” Not that she minds the tress-formation: “I think I should have always had dark hair.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 08

Bradley Cooper

“I always wanted brown curly hair, brown eyes and dark skin. That’s because I grew up in an Italian family and wanted everything I didn’t have,” admits the Philadelphia native, 35. “I was about 29 when I realized that all I’ve got is this, so I might as well figure out what [this] is.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 09

Katy Perry

Love has only made the engaged pop star, 25, more confident. Before British comic Russell Brand was in the picture, “I didn’t feel very beautiful without a ton of makeup,” Perry tells PEOPLE. “When I have no makeup on, which is rare, he tells me I look like the most beautiful girl in the world.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 10

Amanda Seyfried

From playing a bookworm (Jennifer’s Body) to a prostitute (Chloe), the actress, 24, has proved herself a chameleon. So she welcomes seeing a familiar face every day – her own. Seyfried tells PEOPLE: “When I wake up in the morning and I don’t have any makeup on, I don’t feel ugly. I just feel clean.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 11

Justin Bieber

The secret to the singer’s “swoosh”? “I spend five minutes on it,” he says.”I use shampoo, conditioner – basically whatever is in the hotel – and blow-dry.” That three-step routine has tweens swooning over the 16-year-old, who insists the do does not make the man: “It’s part of my image; it’s not who I am.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 12

Juliana Margulies

“In a strange way, I feel younger now than I did on ER,” says the star of The Good Wife, 43. “Now, I’m doing what Julianna would want to be doing as opposed to what everyone else thinks I should be doing. That’s the difference in getting older.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 13

Kevin McKidd

“On Grey’s Anatomy, you have to have make-out scenes – and it’s probably best that you don’t have a beer gut,” says McKidd, 36, of keeping up with the McDreamys of the ER. “So I’m definitely conscious of exercise. But I like to have a Scotch at night. I’m Scottish so I’m not quite as strict.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 14

Jennifer Lopez

After a hiatus to have twins Emme and Max, 2, the multi-tasking actress is back – with the Back-up Plan and a new outlook. “I can’t help but be a different person now that I’ve had kids,” Lopez, 40, has said. “That really does change your whole perspective on life for the better.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 15

Isaiah Mustafa

Ladies, look at your man, now back to him. Yes, the ex-football player scored a touchdown with women everywhere after starring in that unforgettable Old Spice commercial. But the low-key actor, 36, says the only pampering he does in real life is “dropping off my girlfriend in front of the nail place and then picking her up.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 16

Jessica Szohr

With her dark hair and piercing hazel eyes, the Gossip Girl beauty is often asked, “What are you exactly?” While guesses range from Puerto Rican to Brazilian, for the record the Wisconsin native, 25, says with a laugh, “I’m Hungarian and a quarter Black, so I’m a mutt.”

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People For 2010 17

Robert Pattinson

His pale, otherworldly complexion may make girls swoon, but the British heartthrob, 23, says looking the part of a lovesick vampire in the Twilight series isn’t quite as thrilling: “Having that makeup put on every single day, as soon as you get it taken off it’s like, ‘Oh, you do look normal. You look healthy now.”

There is so much fail on this list, what do you think did People get it right?

Oscar Curse – Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced

Yesterday it was announced that Kate Winslet and her husband of seven years, Sam Mendes, were divorcing. As we all know that if you win an Oscar there is a curse, it seems for women on top of their career dying they tend to end up divorcing. Here are some of the famous ones:

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 01

Benjamin Bratt was the lucky man on Julia Roberts’ arm when she won the Oscar for her role in “Erin Brockovich” in 2001. Three months later their relationship was over—he went on to marry Talisa Soto, while she’s had three kids with husband Danny Moder. She’s yet to be nominated for a second time, so hopefully this relationship is safe.

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 02

The second actress to fall victim to this trend? Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball.” She’d been dating hot musician Eric Benet for years, and the two got hitched in 2001. Shortly after winning her Best Actress Oscar, Benet started cheating on her and allegedly went to sex addiction rehab. But it wasn’t enough—the couple separated in 2003 and divorced in 2005.

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 03

Infamously, Hilary Swank forgot to thank her hubby Chad Lowe, brother of Rob, when she won Best Actress in 2000 for her role as Brandon Teena in “Boys Don’t Cry.” Still, Chad seemed ultra supportive of her, and they were the ultimate down-to-earth Hollywood couple. They had just crossed the 13-years-together mark when Hilary won again in 2005, for “Million Dollar Baby,” and she made sure to thank him, first thing. The two divorced a year later. Rumors circulated that he couldn’t handle the level of success she’d found.

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 04

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe met at her 21st birthday party—she supposedly walked up to him and said, “I think you’re my birthday present”—and got married less than a year later. Reese had already popped out two kidlets seven years later, when she won Best Actress for her role in “Walk the Line,” and the pair seemed forevers. Nope. They split eight months after she gave her acceptance speech. Many assume Ryan was cheating on her with Abbie Cornish.

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 05

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had already shocked the world by getting divorced when she won the Best Actress Oscar for portraying Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.” But she was clearly still having a hard time with the split at the time of her win. “He was huge; still is. To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge,” she told Ladies Home Journal. “But he was lovely to me. And I loved him. I still love him.” After rumored flings with Jude Law and Robbie Williams, Nicole allegedly gave Best Actor winner Adrien Brody her number backstage at the Oscars, and the two dated for a little while. She, of course, ended up getting remarried to Keith Urban.

Oscar Curse - Win Best Actress Then Get Divorced 06

Charlize Theron‘s relationship with actor Stuart Townsend seemed solid when she awed the Academy with her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos and won the Oscar. The two never officially tied the knot because they were waiting for same-sex couples to have the right to do the same. But Townsend said, “I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.” Until the two sadly split up in January.

I guess that means Sandra Bullock should be worrying about her marriage to Jesse James could end up with the same faith since she won the Oscar this year.

Julia Roberts Paid $3 Million For 6 Minutes Screen Time

After looking at my bank account, which is dying a slow death right now, this is not exactly what I wanted to read so I figured why not make everybody else suffer and let you all know that Julia Roberts received a whopping $3 million for 6 minutes of work in the movie Valentine’s Day.

Julia Roberts Paid $3 Million For 6 Minutes Work

You or somebody that you know has probably gone to see the movie Valentine’s Day, but was Julia Roberts the reason you went to see the movie? Because the executives in Hollywood and director, Gary Marshall , sure think she is worth the hefty price tag.

It is reported that New Line Cinema paid Julia her $3 million figure as well as 3 percent of the grossing that the movie makes, which has so far made over $97 million worldwide. If you break it down, her salary is $500,000 a minute or $8,333 per second she was on screen. If you want to know what she made per word she spoke it works out at about $11,952.

Other than the fact that nearly every single woman in the world loves her, another reason they felt she was worth her salary is because once she signed on the rest of the all star cast signed up which includes the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Jamie Foxx, Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane.

Apparently the rest of the cast got their usual quote pro-rated to how many days they worked, which most only worked 3 days. Jamie Foxx is said to be the only other one, aside from Roberts and Marshall, getting a cut of the box office grossing as well.

I know a bunch of women love Julia Roberts to death but she really isn’t worth that much money anymore in my opinion. If I was one of the other cast I would be pissed she got so much. It depresses me how much Hollywood stars can earn for a few minutes work.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date

Spike have come up with a list of 10 actresses who they believe need to retire from the movie business, take a look and see what you think….

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 10

10. Nicole Kidman

Kidman was one of the sexiest actresses around for a long, long time – she’s kept her shiny gloss for nigh on twenty years now. And she’s probably aged better than anyone else on this list, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t gone past her “Use By” date. Her face has begun to look like an evil bubble, those beady little eyes bearing down on whomever dares draw near.

It’s easy to see why Tom Cruise would have grown tired of this uptight Aussie getting up in his grill every night. And after the bomb that was Australia, I think it’s clear that audiences are not drawn to her in droves anymore (were they ever?). Kidman works best now as a villain or a mom. She and Keith Urban deserve each other.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 09

9. Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher first came to our attention in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and a classic episode of Seinfeld in the mid-’90s. And she was pretty darn hot. Skinny, large-breasted, big eyes, and an even bigger smile…there really wasn’t much not to like about her. Sure, her acting chops were never anything to write home about, but dang if she didn’t know how to stand around and look pretty.

Oh, how times change. Though she continues her television work in Desperate Housewives, her days of hotness have most definitely come to an end. She got the skinny thing down, but then she kept getting skinnier. And skinnier, and skinnier, and skinnier, until we couldn’t even remember what it was we liked about her so much to begin with. She now looks like a scary mix between Michael Jackson and the mummy of King Tut. This is not what we want to be looking at having affairs with the pool boy and the next door neighbor.

Someone get this woman a cheeseburger on the double.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 08

8, Drew Barrymore

Okay, let’s be honest: Drew Barrymore was never really all that hot. In fact, hot was never the appropriate adjective for her. She was cute as a little kid in E.T. and sometimes adorable in her twenties, and now…well, now she’s just another talking chubby face attached to a chubby body that should know better than to be projected on a giant movie screen.

The tragedy is that at 34, Barrymore doesn’t even come close to being old. But there are only so many romantic comedies she can foul up with that Batman chin of hers and that I’m-so-adorable-and-don’t-even-know-it voice that shreds your ears like a cheese grater. Enough is enough. Someone do the right thing and get this woman in the plus-size section of a JCPenney catalogue, stat!

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 07

7, Helen Hunt

Helen Hunt was actually aging very gracefully for a while; she was lovelier with each successive film she starred in. The movies she chose weren’t always winners (What Women Want, Pay It Forward) but hell if she didn’t look good acting in them. In Castaway you really feel bad for Tom Hanks because of how bad fate screwed him over – he lost a damn fine woman!

And then along came anorexia. In the last film she starred in, Then She Found Me (also her directorial debut) she looked like an emaciated victim of malnutrition on the brink of death. The movie should have been called Then She Found My Skeleton Walking Around and Talking. Because that’s what it looked like was going on: a corpse had been reanimated and given some heartfelt lines to say. It was more than a bit frightening, and somewhat perplexing, that someone so intelligent would buy into the unattractive Hollywood fad of self-starvation.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 06

6. Renee Zellweger

Renee Zellweger has always walked the fine line between cute and hot, and usually fell on the side of cute. But these days she doesn’t fit in either. Her squinty-eyed circle of a face often seems like a pumpkin that’s been ham-handedly carved into a woman, and it’s not something most people care to spend too much time looking at.

It doesn’t help that she’s continually starring in stupid movies, or movies that she doesn’t really belong in. Leatherheads, Appaloosa, New in Town…none of these movies have done well and it doesn’t seem like an accident that she’s been the female lead in all three of them.

There was once a time when Zellweger’s cutesy, girl-next-door qualities were called for. And then the credits rolled at the end of Jerry Maguire.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 05

5. Lindsay Lohan

That’s right. At the tender age of 23, Lohan has already worn out her welcome with moviegoers. Jack Nicholson has publicly declared that he’ll never act in a movie she’s in – Jack Nicholson! I mean, come on, you know it’s bad when one of the original bad boys has had enough of your shenanigans.

If it’s not one thing it’s another. Lohan is either flashing her vagina or doing another stint in rehab or banging up her brand new zillion dollar car…it just never ends. And that’s fine. This is America, she’s free to come out of the closet and jump back in and burst back out, and do it all while high on cocaine and driving to her next session of rehab without any underwear on. That’s cool, it’s her prerogative. Free country.

But we don’t want to have to pay 10 to 15 bucks to look at this tore up ho no mo’. Somebody get her a sitcom or a long session of electroshock therapy, just get her the hell out of the movies. Please.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 04

4. Sarah Jessica Parker

Some of you cynics out there are saying, “Come on, Sarah Jessica Parker? Was she ever pretty?” To which I have a very simple answer: the 1980s. Girl was halfway decent. Twenty years ago.

But, in all seriousness, she had some game back when she did Girls Just Want to Have Fun (don’t pretend like you haven’t seen it), Flight of the Navigator, and Footloose. In other words, back before she became HBO’s reining queen of materialistic shallowness. And she’s actually done some fine acting in recent films like The Family Stone and Smart People.

Nonetheless, her expiration date has long since passed, and at this point it’s hard not to make comparisons to Mr. Ed and Henry Kissinger whenever we see her prance across the small and large screens all dolled up like Cinderella, marketing some crappy movie or makeup. We’ve had enough.

Girls might just want to have fun, but guys just want to have movie stars to look at who don’t make their retinas puke. Is that really so much to ask for?

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 03

3, Meg Ryan

For a while it was looking like Meg Ryan was going to be able to scrunch up her nose and melt the hearts of America for the rest of eternity. She proved that just because you starred in one hit romantic comedy with Tom Hanks didn’t mean you couldn’t make the exact same movie all over again five years later and have it become just as big a hit. For that we have her to thank.

But time has finally caught up with Ryan and it is not a pretty sight. She’s begun to look like Mickey Rourke’s twin sister, her face all puffed up and de-wrinkled from Botox. We would probably feel kind of sad about it all if we weren’t so damn sick of her. Can anyone remember the last time they saw her in a movie that didn’t annoy the living crap out of them? Anyone? Anyone?

Me neither.

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 02

2. Cameron Diaz

There were a solid six years when Cameron Diaz charmed our pants off. From her grand entrance in The Mask to Charlie’s Angels, she was looking pretty fine. Her million dollar smile, her blonde locks, and her effervescent energy combined to give us a classic American babe. Now we look forward to her work in Shrek 4 because we won’t have to look at her.

Along the way Diaz has kept her airheaded personality, but she doesn’t really look the part anymore. Her face looks like a worn-in baseball glove when she smiles and she appears tired and ill-kempt when she isn’t wearing five pounds of makeup. Must the studios keep foisting her upon us as the “Hot Girl” when we’ve got the likes of Megan Fox and Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt to pick from?

Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date 01

1. Julia Roberts

You have to hand it to her, Julia Roberts was America’s Sweetheart for a real long stretch. She really hung in there, and she definitely had her share of detractors along the way. But she always kept her head up and moved past whatever personal scandal or cinematic failure cropped up. She was a one-of-a-kind movie star, and she pretty reliably brought in the box office.

Somewhere along the way things changed and she wasn’t quite as ravishing as she once was. She hasn’t aged as terribly as some of the ladies on this list, but she’s certainly begun to display the ravages of time. Between Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve the numbers started to show. By the time she appeared in Charlie Wilson’s War her eye sockets appeared to be empty caves from which two orbs of desperation peered into the abyss.

It’s quite possible that Roberts will continue to dazzle and amaze us for many more years, and she might even hold onto the title of America’s Sweetheart for longer still. But people have already begun to show less interest in her films and the studios will soon realize they can’t bank upon her appeal to men and women alike any longer: her throne is in danger.

Queen Elizabeth the first was praised as the beautiful Virgin Queen until the day of her death at age sixty nine. But none of her subjects truly believed there was a hottie underneath all those layers of white make up and frilly dresses. They just kind of got used to the title.

I agree with them all except for Drew Barrymore, thoughts?

Julia Roberts Drops The F-Bomb A Lot

I’m starting to wonder if Julia Roberts even ages, she seems to look exactly like she did twenty years ago which you can see in these pictures from last night, anyway that isn’t the point of this post.

Julia attended the Film Society of Lincoln Center tribute to her good friend Tom Hanks in New York City on Monday night when she cussed up a storm while talking about him.

She said, “alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee, so Tom, everybody fucking likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her tits were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her ass was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the fuck?”

She then went on to speak about his movie career saying “I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in Ladykillers], I didn’t even know what the fuck that movie was about! You in the airport with the accent (Terminal), It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I’m wearing the same fucking dress tonight as your publicist! Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you.”

Before running of the stage she then added “it’s so dark out there, I feel like I’m in space, thank you, whoever just made it light. J.J. Abrams, are you here?”

I love Julia Roberts, always have and always will, I especially love her when she’s like this – I love a woman who isn’t afraid to say fuck.

Angelina Jolie Tops Sex Pass List

Angelina Jolie didn’t win any awards for her role in Changeling but at least she is still winning stuff on sex lists right?

According to a new poll by online dating websites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com people were asked which celebrity would they give their partner a sex pass to sleep with.

The usual people are included on the list like Angelina, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Shira Zwebner, who works for Date.com said “this poll is the complete opposite of an indecent proposal. In fact, most men and women wouldn’t just grant their significant others permission to go for it with their celebrity of choice – they’d brag about it all over town, Johnny Depp’s appeal is more than just physical attraction, he is the complete package, and women envision that one night of passion with this Pirate will leave them more than just sexually satisfied. Angelina Jolie, meanwhile, tops this list because both men and women worldwide have crushes on her and – if she ever invited someone other than Brad Pitt into her bed – not even the most committed couple would walk away from that opportunity.”

Here is the list of women that men could sleep with:

Angelina Jolie 25.9%
Jennifer Aniston 24.1%
Halle Berry 23.8%
Penelope Cruz 22.4%
Eva Mendes 20.7%
Nicole Kidman 20.7%
Sandra Bullock 19.0%
Jennifer Garner 18.9%
Lucy Liu 17.2%
Reese Witherspoon 17.2%
Demi Moore 16.7%
Julia Roberts 15.5%
Kate Winslet 15.3%
Kiera Knightly 12.1%
Scarlett Johansson 11.8%
Natalie Portman 8.6%
Katherine Hiegl 6.9%

As for who the women can sleep with:

Johnny Depp 32.2%
George Clooney 29.0%
Will Smith 28.4%
Brad Pitt 25.8%
Matthew McConaughey 25.8%
Hugh Jackman 19.4%
Sean Connery 16.1%
Patrick Dempsey 12.9%
Tom Cruise 12.9%
Justin Timberlake 11.5%
Bruce Willis 9.7%
Howard Stern 8.4%
Robert Pattinson 6.5%
Jake Gyllenhaal 6.5%
Gerard Butler 3.2%

The Weekend Box Office Results 3/22/09

Nicolas Cage’s new movie, “Knowing” really took off this weekend with the box office gold at a $24,814,000 take this weekend. While it’s not the best showing, it knocked “Race To Witch Mountain” out of the top spot.

Coming in second place was the movie that I thought would take the top rankings in the charts, “I Love You, Man“. The Paul Rudd/Jason Segel comedy, brought in $18,005,000 in the second spot.

Taking third place this weekend was Julia Roberts’ and Clive Owen’sDuplicity” with $14,402,000 in ticket sales. In fourth place on the charts was “Race To Witch Mountain“, which brought in $13,004,000 in it’s second week. “Watchmen” brought in $6,725,000 in it’s third week.

Check out the “Knowing” trailer:

The movie is about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future from a time capsule that’s been in the ground for fifty years, and sets out to prevent the events from happening.
