10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time

Forbes have release their prime time top earning women list from June 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009. When coming up with the list they take into account earnings from television work, producing, movie work and any endorsements.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 11

10. Ellen Pompeo (tie) – $6 million

Now in its sixth season, viewers still tune in to see the latest as Pompeo’s Meredith Grey simultaneously pushes away and pines after her husband, Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd, on ABC’s medical hit. Off camera, the Massachusetts native gave birth to her first child with her producer husband Chris Ivery.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 10

10. Jennifer Love Hewitt – $6 million

Hewitt’s CBS star vehicle rolled out its fifth season last month. As she’s done in seasons past, she serves as a producer and lead actor on the female-friendly series. The former Party of Five star also shills pimple cream and other products for skincare company Proactiv.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 09

9. Marcia Cross – $6.2 million

Cross’ comedic turn as the all-too-perfect Bree Van De Kamp on ABC’s hit series has earned her critical accolades, countless fans and a $225,000 per episode paycheck. Off set, she took on a role as a Motts spokeswoman.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 08

8. Tina Fey – $7 million

Despite just 7 million weekly viewers–up 10% from last season–Fey’s comedy consistently garners critical and award-show praise. Still more impressive, she serves as creator, writer and star. She grabbed gobs of attention last fall for her impersonations of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. In addition to striking a lucrative book deal during the 12-month period, she also filmed Date Night, a romantic comedy opposite fellow NBC star Steve Carell.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 07

6. Maura Tierney – $8 million (tie)

As nurse turned doctor Abby Lockhart, Tierney spent a decade stitching up bodies at County General Hospital on NBC’s long-running medical drama ER. After a lengthy and lucrative run, the series and its fictional hospital finally closed its doors this past spring. The Emmy-nominated actress had grand plans to take on a new NBC drama, the upcoming Parenthood, before bowing out for health reasons.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 06

6. Julia Louis-Dreyfus – $8 million (tie)

While its hardly Seinfeld money, Dreyfus makes a more than a healthy living as the star of CBS’ Wednesday night comedy. She’s also seen money from Seinfeld residuals and a Seinfeld-themed guest arc on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. Lest it stop there, the famously goofy star also serves as spokeswoman for Conagra’s Healthy Choice.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 05

5. Mariska Hargitay – $8.5 million

After 10 seasons on the NBC program, the Emmy-winning actress and co-star Chris Meloni found themselves in the middle of a protracted contract dispute this past spring. Off-camera, Hargitay also struggled with a collapsed lung.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 04

4. Eva Longoria Parker – $9 million

The Desperate Housewives vixen may have shed her model body and sexpot image in the show’s leap forward, but she still commands a pretty paycheck. In addition to her $225,000 per episode payday last season, she rakes in additional dough with endorsements like L’Oreal Paris.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 03

3. Marg Helgenberger – $9.5 million

The Emmy-winning actress recently launched her 10th season as showgirl turned blood-spatter analyst Catherine Willows on the lucrative CBS procedural. In an era where few shows deliver massive ratings much less massive profit, her series stands out.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 02

Kathernie Heigl – $18 million

As cancer patient Izzie Stevens on the ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, Heigl garnered tears and fans alike last season. Whether her character will ultimately survive the illness–and thus remain on the show–remains one of prime-time’s biggest guessing games. Over on the big-screen, the 30-year-old star appeared opposite Gerard Butler in another romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth. Proving her range, she’ll follow that with a starring role opposite Ashton Kutcher in the Lionsgate action comedy Five Killers.

10 Highest Paid Women In Prime Time 01

Tyra Banks – $30 million

When it comes to supermodels turned super-personalities, Banks has her competition beat. Among the former cat-walker’s projects: her own production company, along with a slew of TV shows, including model competition series America’s Next Top Model, beauty competition show True Beauty and daytime chat-fest The Tyra Banks Show.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets

With Sorrority Row being the latest slasher movie out now and because it is a cast full of women, Rotten Tomatoes have decided to throw together a list of the top 25 women from slasher films.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets

Janet Leigh — Psycho (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal slasher took Janet Leigh, already a star, and made her an immortal — by killing her off early in the indelible shower scene. Leigh got an Oscar nomination for her work, remained a big star through the 1960s and, importantly for the genre, gave birth to Jamie Lee Curtis, with whom she’d co-star in 1998′s Halloween: H20. Meanwhile, Psycho’s Vera Miles, who played “final girl” Marion, worked only sporadically in B-grade flicks until she took a role in 1983′s Psycho II. A lesson here: sometimes it pays to die big.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 01

Margot Kidder — Black Christmas (1974)
Bob Clark’s hugely influential slasher flick, which anticipated Halloween’s seasonal title and stalker-cam, as well the he’s-calling-from-inside-the-house of When a Stranger Calls, offered two lead scream queens. Olivia Hussey, already a star for Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 Romeo and Juliet, played “final girl” Jess. But it was up-and-comer Margot Kidder, as the boozy, foul-mouthed and soon-to-die Barb that audiences remembered. While Hussey’s star waned, Kidder’s soared, thanks to the Superman movies and The Amityville Horror. Her career derailed in the mid-1990s due to her bipolar disorder, but she returned to acting and popped up recently as Laurie Strode’s headshrinker in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II. Another lesson: old scream queens never die, they just do cameos.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 02

Jamie Lee Curtis — Halloween (1978)
Arguably the most enduring and liked scream queen in cinematic history, Jamie took a leaf from her mom’s book by making her name with her debut in John Carpenter’s terrifying Halloween. While Laurie was in danger of being overshadowed by her more sexed-up co-stars, particularly P.J. Soles, her nice-gal virgin status meant she lived to see the end credits. And Curtis wasn’t above making more genre flicks — and for the next five years she did nothing else, with The Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train, Halloween II (pictured) and Road Games. Realizing she needed to move on, Curtis successfully branched into comedy with hits Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda and Freaky Friday, and also showed us how good she could look in True Lies. Not forgetting her roots, the actress also returned to the Laurie Strode role in Halloween: H20 and Halloween Resurrection.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 03

Carol Kane — When A Stranger Calls (1979)
By the time Carol Kane made this film, she was a very respected actress who’d starred in The Last Detail, Dog Day Afternoon and Annie Hall, and who’d been Oscar-nominated for 1975′s Hester Street. It was an unusual choice, but the film was a minor box-office hit, largely on the strength of its opening 22 minutes. But after that Kane’s career trajectory saw her take more supporting roles, and not always in successful films, with Transylvania 6-5000 and Joe Versus the Volcano stinking up her resume. Things weren’t helped by Kane reprising the Jill Johnson role in 1993′s TV movie When A Stranger Calls Back. Possible lesson: if you’ve worked with Woody Allen, Sidney Lumet and Hal Ashby, you probably don’t need to do a slasher film.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 04

Adrienne King — Friday the 13th (1980)
Having seen what Halloween did for Jamie Lee, no doubt Adrienne King had her sights set on stardom when she landed the “final girl” role of Alice in Friday the 13th. She survived the film — memorably chopping off mama Vorhees’ head — and starred in 1981′s Friday the 13th: Part 2. Problem was, her screen presence inspired a deranged stalker, who tried to break down the door of her apartment. The life imitating art angle of this impressed Adrienne not at all, and she instead carved out a career as a voice actress and artist. Her role in this year’s horror Walking Distance marks her first screen appearance in 28 years.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 05

Melissa Sue Anderson — Happy Birthday To Me (1981)
What’s a 1970s TV star to do when falling ratings finally mean you get evicted from The Little House On The Prairie? In Melissa Sue Anderson’s case she took the lead in this Canadian slasher, whose poster memorably promised death by shish kebab. Tastier is that Melissa played both Ginny, the “final girl”, and her doppelganger, the birthday-obsessed wack job. Look for a new generation of fans when it’s re-released on DVD this year, with the original artwork intact. But Happy Birthday To Me didn’t break Melissa Sue Anderson into the big-screen business, with her subsequent acting in either TV movies (10.5 Apocalypse) or obscure indies (1990′s Dead Men Don’t Die).

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 06

Holly Hunter — The Burning (1981)
Just as Halloween aped Black Christmas and Friday the 13th aped Halloween, The Burning was a close fit for Friday the 13th, being the story of kids at a camp where bad stuff once went down. Enter a killer named Cropsy. He has a molten face, a big pair of scissors and a very bad attitude. The Burning’s trailer, with its repeated voiceover warning “Don’t!”, was one of the inspirations for Edgar Wright’s hilarious fake trailer in Grindhouse. This is most notable for being the debut for Holly Hunter who, perhaps anticipating her Oscar-winning turn in 1993′s The Piano, was given no dialogue. Other fun facts — Jason Alexander, future George in Seinfeld, was in this, and it was the first flick produced by Bob and Harvey Weinstein under their Miramax banner. [Note: Holly's... not pictured.]

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 07

Heather Langenkamp — A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Wes Craven’s slasher revitalized the ailing, hacky genre with the introduction of a new supernatural villain who was even freakier than Halloween’s The Shape, Friday’s Jason or The Burning’s Cropsy. But Freddy Krueger’s charisma was a problem for Heather Langenkamp, who played “final girl” Nancy Thompson. While popular in the original and two sequels, she wasn’t able to translate that success into mainstream success, with the nearest thing she got to fame again being a five-episode arc in 1980s sitcom Growing Pains. Not to worry, though, she found a niche running the environmentally friendly Malibu Gum Company.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 08

Renée Zellweger — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
Early in her career, Renée Zellweger teamed up with Matthew McConaughey for this flat-out insane take on the family of cannibal killers. Written and directed by Kim Henkel, who wrote Tobe Hooper’s 1973 original, this has long been derided as one of the worst movies of the 1990s. Take another look. Yes, it’s loud and crass and crazy but it’ll also have you on the edge of your seat, thanks to the wild performances from McConaughey, as the killer with the robot leg and some sort of Lynchian link to world power, and Zellweger as his much-abused victim who finally finds the will to fight. Within a few years, Zellweger would, thanks to Jerry Maguire and her Oscar-winning Cold Mountain, have no further use for the horror genre. But, with her last three live-action movies bombing (New in Town, Leatherheads, Appaloosa), maybe she could use the boost that creepy-kid flick Case 39 might offer.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 09

Rose McGowan (scream)
After Elm Street, slasher-horror entered a decline until Wes Craven and scriptwriter Kevin Williamson turned the genre on its severed ear by sending up its conventions in the hyper-self-aware Scream. The Weinsteins put up the $14m budget — a fortune for such fare — and that meant it needed names, which it got in Drew Barrymore, Courtney Cox and Neve Campbell. But it was also the launch-pad for little known Rose McGowan, who’d until then been relegated to bit parts in Pauly Shore flicks and was the praised lead in underseen indie The Doom Generation. While her character Tatum’s mission to get brewskis from the garage would lead to Ghostface arranging her head-squashing with the roller door, McGowan’s career fared a bit better, with Charmed and Planet Terror earning her a devoted fanbase, if not yet a breakout mainstream hit.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 10

Sarah Michelle Gellar — I Know What You Did last Summer (1997)
The success of Scream helped this straighter, duller slasher, also from the pen of Kevin Williamson, get into cinemas. Jennifer Love Hewitt was the “final girl” but before long her similarly tripled-barreled co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar would be the bigger star. That year saw her take on TV’s Buffy and the megahit Scream 2. A smart gal, she opted for a more serious route with Cruel Intentions and went for rom-com in Simply Irresistible. Thing is, audiences really want to see her spooked, whether for laughs in the massive-grossing Scooby-Doo flicks or in the likes of The Grudge, which raked in $110m. With her last few flicks (Suburban Girl, The Air I Breathe) tanking, it might be time for Sarah to face off once again against a creep in a yellow slicker, a creep in a ghost mask… or maybe just Edward Cullen.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 11

Tara Reid — Urban Legend (1998)
Following the Psycho formula re-established by Scream’s early kill of Drew Barrymore, this one offed Natasha Gregson-Wagner in the opener. That left Rebecca Gayheart, Alicia Witt and new cutie Tara Reid in the picture to be killed off. Playing a college sex therapist helped audiences remember Tara, and she was soon on her way to the A-list with American Pie and Cruel Intentions. Even flops like Josie and the Pussycats and Dr. T and the Women weren’t career killers, and she was back at the top of the box office with American Pie’s sequel and early Ryan Reynolds’ hit Van Wilder. But then the Tara Reid car crash began, with her party-girl shenanigans making people forget how they’d warmed to her raspy comic appeal. The slide translated to the big screen, with her thereafter languishing in F-grade horror such as Uwe Boll’s Alone in the Dark and Incubus.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 12

Michelle Williams — Halloween: H20 (1998)
Between Brokeback Mountain, I’m Not There and Wendy and Lucy, Oscar nominee Michelle Williams is shaping up as one of the finest actresses of her generation. But her first big box-office hit was this belated resurrection of the franchise. In it, she stars as Molly, a horny student at the exclusive school run by Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode. Of course, Michael, aka, The Shape comes a-calling. Getting chased by him did Michelle’s career no harm but, that said, it’s unlikely she’ll be back ducking psycho blades at any time in the future. Unless, of course, you count Scorsese’s Shutter Island.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 13

Brittany Murphy — Cherry Falls (2000)
In this under-rated and sly comic take on the slasher genre, the kids scramble to lose their virginity because the maniac only kills the pure, hence the title. Having then-rising star Brittany Murphy, fresh off Girl, Interrupted, didn’t help Cherry Falls’ prospects and this $14m production, which had to go to the MPAA five times before they approved a cut, didn’t even make it to theaters. Brittany’s climb would continue for a while — with 8 Mile, Just Married and Sin City — but the misses soon outnumbered the hits. As her pay packet has shrunk, she’s returned to horror-tinged thrills with Deadline, Abandoned and Something Wicked.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 14

Katherine Heigl — Valentine (2001)
No-one can accuse Ms. Heigl of being an overnight success, and she’s been working solidly since 1992. During the ’90s she played daughter roles to Gerard Depardieu and Steven Segal, and in 1999 signed on to this, director Jamie Blanks’ follow up to Urban Legend. In it, Heigl, who supposedly later claimed she wouldn’t have done it if she’d read the script properly, plays Shelley, a med student who has her throat slit early in proceedings. Fun fact: Tara Reid and Jennifer Love Hewitt were originally cast in the roles that went to Jessica Capshaw and Denise Richards. As for Heigl, despite being dead, she passed her med school exams and graduated to mega-stardom in Grey’s Anatomy and then Knocked Up, 27 Dresses and this year’s The Ugly Truth.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 15

Jessica Biel — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Like any number of slasher starlets before her, Jessica Biel jumped from a successful TV series — in this case, 7th Heaven — to “final girl” in Marcus Nispel’s forceful remake of Tobe Hooper’s ferocious original. Dudes who wouldn’t be caught dead watching 7th Heaven became overnight Biel fans. But it has been a rocky-ish road since then for the actress. After Blade: Trinity, Biel broadened her horizons but hasn’t often found the right material to suit her talents. She was good in The Illusionist, but seemed out of place in I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry and Stealth. Horror’s not on her immediate horizon, but her next flick Nailed sounds like it could be on offcut from an offal-spiller. In it, she plays a girl who gets a nail stuck in her head, which causes her to act erratically but leads her into the arms of Jake Gyllenhaal.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 16

Shawnee Smith — Saw (2004)
This $1.2m indie, which generated a franchise worth half-a-billion, added “torture porn” to the psychotic killer mix, with controversial results. A considerable degree of Saw’s impact was thanks to a cunning viral campaign which featured Shawnee Smith with her mouth about to be ripped off by an explosive face trap. Despite having done a lot of movies in the 1980s and 1990s, including Summer School and The Desperate Hours, Smith was at the time of Saw’s production best known as “the dumb girl from Becker”. This movie changed all of that, and she’s appeared in each of the sequels (see Saw II, pictured). As for whether she’ll break from horror, well, if she’s getting back-end each time a Saw is released in time for Halloween, she’ll probably never need to work again.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 17

Paris Hilton — House of Wax (2005)
The loose remake of the 1933 early-Technicolor experiment Mystery of the Wax Museum and 1953 3-D hit House of Wax had one special effect: Paris Hilton’s ability to generate publicity. Producer Joel Silver admitted the heiress had been cast for just that reason. In fairness, she wasn’t terrible in the film, but the death scene, which mocked her infamous home video, was just, well, weird. Happily, this one’s box-office failure just as effectively killed off Paris’ serious big-screen hopes. But if you really want to be frightened by a film she’s in, just try to sit through The Hillz or The Hottie and the Nottie.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 18

Mary Elizabeth Winstead — Final Destination 3 (2006)
This franchise cast Death his bad self as a serial killer, whose favorite method is inescapable fate, directed mostly at teens via insanely complicated series of events that culminate in spectacular terminations. Mary Elizabeth Winstead — who’d been noticed in kiddie comedy Sky High — landed the role of the final girl, the one who lives long enough to see her pals suntanned to death, impaled and nail gunned. She wasn’t so lucky in 2006′s Black Christmas remake (above), which saw her blood spray all over a car, but she at least avoided such a fate in 2007′s Death Proof. Winstead’s next role — as love interest Ramona V. Flowers in Edgar Wright’s comic fantasy Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World — sounds just the change of pace.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 19

Scout-Taylor Compton — Halloween (2007)
Once Mr. Zombie had established the whys-and-whats of Michael Myers’ “backstory” in his reimagining of Halloween, he switched over to more familiar ground — The Shape stalking Laurie Strode on Halloween. Compton held her ground well enough against her big, bad brother well enough that she was brought back for Halloween II. The daughter of a mortician, she’s a true believer in the genre and happy to tell fans about her love for Chucky, Jason and, of course, The Shape. She has another teen thriller in the can — Triple Dog, which looks a cross between Sorority Row and Dead Man’s Curve — but after that, Scout’s smartly diversifying as Lita Ford, opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, in The Runaways.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 20

Jaime King — My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)
This blonde beauty’s career started with a bang — her third film was Pearl Harbor — but there’s been a lot of whimper since and she has struggled to nail leading lady status on the big screen. Her turn as Goldie in Sin City helped keep her in fanboy hearts but critically panned flicks like White Chicks, Bulletproof Monk and The Spirit did her few favors. Redemption, perhaps, has been found in the slasher genre. As Sarah in this year’s 3-D My Bloody Valentine remake, she was the last girl standing, with the film clocking up an impressive $51m at the box office. Realizing she’s on a good thing, King has signed on for Saw sequel director Darren Lynn Bousman’s remake of Mother’s Day.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 21

Danielle Panabaker — Friday the 13th (2009)
Like Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Danielle got her start in Sky High. She then gravitated toward the killer-thriller with a supporting role as Kevin Costner’s daughter in the nutty but enjoyable Mr. Brooks. She embraced the role of Jenna in Friday the 13th but didn’t quite make it out of that one alive. She did however impress enough that her next two flicks are horrors. Panabaker co-stars opposite Timothy Olyphant in next year’s remake of George A. Romero’s viral horror The Crazies and she’s now shooting The Ward, Halloween director John Carpenter’s long-awaited return to fright features.

Rumer Willis — Sorority Row (2009)
We won’t spoil it for you by revealing when/if/how the daughter of Bruce and Demi buys the farm in this week’s Sorority Row. But we’re thinking that after playing support roles in her parents’ movies — 1996′s Striptease; 2005′s Hostage — this is Ms. Willis’ way of announcing herself to the world. But we can’t really foresee a scream queen future for her, with her next film supposedly a quirky comedy called Slightly Single in L.A. As for her star prospects, we’d rate them as pretty good. It’s in the genes, you know. And in the address book.

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 23

Briana Evigan — Sorority Row (2009)
For our money, Briana Evigan is the one to watch out of the current crop of slasher starlets. Like Rumer, her dad was an actor, most famous as B.J. McKay in B.J. and the Bear (where, one asks, is the big-screen version of that?). Briana made her debut in 1997, aged just 10, opposite him in horror flick Spectre, but really impressed with both her dancing and acting in last year’s Step Up 2 the Streets. As moral center Cassidy in Sorority Row, she’s a knockout, and it helps that the movie is shaping up to be one of the more enjoyable slashers in years. But it’s the one-woman film she already has in the can that really could prove her breakthrough. Burning Bright (above) has her as a teenage girl who has to protect her autistic brother from a tiger loose in their house in the chaos after a hurricane. “Briana is authentically Briana,” Bright’s director Carlos Brooks told RT. “That’s why both the fanboys and the girls love her. She’s got huge crossover appeal — she’ll be a star because she’s got the guts to be herself.”

25 Memorable Slasher Starlets 24

Rooney Mara — A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)
Rooney’s the wild card because so little is known about her work. She did make her debut in 2005′s straight-to-disc Urban Legends: Bloody Mary and has a part in the upcoming Michael Cera comedy Youth in Revolt. What we do know is that she’ll take on the Nancy Thompson role and that she has apparently signed on for a sequel. Lesson: learn from the Langenkamp.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go

By now we all know that Katherine Heigl (who plays Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy) will be taking a five episode break from the show she has bitched about, so she can go shoot her new movie Life As We know It.

Because of this Yahoo have come up with a list of ten characters who need to follow suit and go take a break from their show.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 10

10. Morgan (“Chuck”)
How long does Benihana training take? A couple months, right? Maybe by then we’ll start missing this little geek, because we’ve seen an awful lot of his dating life and his Buy More hi-jinks lately. Too much, in fact.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 09

9. Topher (“Dollhouse”)
Topher seems to be one of those love him or hate him characters, and we’re in the latter camp on this one. Since they’ve established that there are other Dollhouse locations, and this one really could use an overhaul, we’d love it if he got a temporary transfer out of there.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 08

8. Marshall (“How I Met Your Mother”)
Last season, Alyson Hannigan was out for awhile on maternity leave and the show truly suffered without her, especially since there was more focus than ever on Lily’s other half Marshall, and his work life. Now
we’re a little over him and could use some solo Lily time.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 07

7. Tess (“Smallville”)
On a show about heroes and villains, it would be nice if the evildoers were actually … evil. Tess is too mild-mannered to really run LuthorCorp in the nefarious way that Lex or Lionel would have wanted, and with General Zod heading to town, letting Tess stick around is pretty much pointless.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 06

6. Kenneth (“30 Rock”)
He’s adorable and appealing, but he’s also best in small doses — otherwise his limited shtick gets very old and very tired. Maybe Kenneth can take some time off to return home for a while and then find a way to come back with bizarre new stories to share.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 05

5.Charlotte (“Private Practice”)
We were so happy when she got canned from her private practice at the end of last season that we’d love for her to take a little time off to do some soul-searching. And we’re sure that after this role, KaDee Strickland will have no problem landing a part in any rom-com as someone’s annoying wife.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 04

4. Dwight (“The Office”)
The thing about Dwight is that, like Kenneth, he’s best in small doses, and lately we’ve been overloaded with his strange antics and even stranger romantic entanglements. We think he needs to spend more time in the marketing of his beet farm’s bed and breakfast.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 03

3. Jenny Humphrey (“Gossip Girl”)
While all of the other characters are going to be in college, Jenny’s going to be stuck reigning as Queen of Constance Billard. What a letdown it’ll be for viewers to have to go from college life to a funky dressed Jenny still dealing with high school issues. Can’t she just do a semester or two abroad?

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 02

2. Thirteen (“House”)
If Olivia Wilde decided to go take a break and star in some ridiculous horror movie screaming her head off while, say, her character disappeared south of the border for some experimental Huntington’s treatment for a hunk of the season, it would be such a welcome change of pace.

Ten TV Characters Who Need To Go 01

1. Sylar (“Heroes”)
Sylar’s a great creepy villain, but we’re burned out on the character at this point. We’d be thrilled if his personality would stay buried deep within its current Nathan shell for a good part of the season. Let another villain do nefarious deeds for a while — after all, even Batman didn’t fight the Joker every single week.

I agree with almost every one of these apart from Jenny from Gossip Girl and of course Thirteen on House who is played by Olivia Wilde, if she went we wouldn’t get any hot photoshoots.

Megan Fox: Michael Bay Is Like Hitler

A couple of months ago Megan Fox started saying stuff like Transformers and it’s sequel aren’t about the acting.

That didn’t go down to well with Michael Bay, the director of the film, who said she has a lot of growing up to do.

Well it seems she didn’t get the message because in her interview with Wonderland Magazine (to see the awesome photoshoot click here) she is comparing him to Hitler.

When asked what it’s like working with Bay she said, “God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.”

Megan Fox is really starting to become the new Katherine Heigl with all of this ungrateful complaining isn’t she? By the way, just a couple of days she admitted to having mental issues.

Katherine Heigl Is Still A Diva

I do my best to avoid talking about Katherine Heigl at all costs because I think she is an ungrateful bitch, if I am to be honest.

When I do talk about it, I like that it is always negative stuff about her acting like a diva or biting the hands that feed her.

This is one of those times, you see Heigl went on the David Letterman show last week to promote her new movie The Ugly Truth but she also discussed going back to the set of Grey’s Anatomy.

“Our first day back was Wednesday and it was — I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them — a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean.” She complained to Letterman.

Ken Levine, an Emmy-winning TV writer and casual blogger, didn’t appreciate these comments from Heigl’s big mouth and took to his blog to set the record straight….

“Poor Katherine Heigl. What she neglected to add was this: This ‘cruel’ shooting schedule was only to accommodate HER and her needs. The producers graciously shuffled things around so she could go off and do promotion for her new film. Also, with union rules, the producers had to pay a ton of overtime and penalties to make this happen. The thanks they get is Katherine Heigl going on national television hoping to embarrass them.”

As we all know there is many stories about Katherine Heigl acting like this. Somebody needs to remind her that there is a recession going on and she should be lucky to have full time employment.

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%

Hayden Panettiere Needs A New Attitude

You know what I really hate? When celebrities in Hollywood start thinking they are way more famous than they actually are and now Hayden Panettiere has fallen into that group.

Apparently while she was attending a fundraiser to help benefit the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation in Honolulu over the weekend, the 19-year-old turned into a demon bitch.

Hayden who has split with her ex boyfriend and Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia, because he couldn’t handle her partying, started to scream at photographers to “back up.” Then when a television reporter tapped her on the shoulder and asked “may we talk with you, Hayden?” She turned around and screamed “don’t you ever touch me!”

She wasn’t done yet though, a couple of minutes later she flipped again and screamed “you all make my life miserable,” then refused to answer any questions before walking into the event.

It seems like Hayden has become like Katherine Heigl who also stupidly thinks her star power is A-List. Honestly though, do these people not realize there is another 1000 cute little blond girls just waiting for them to slip up so they can take their roles.

The pictures are from Hayden Panettiere arriving back at LAX airport after the event.
