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.
I couldn’t make this stuff up people. It sounds like the opening line for some Jeff Foxworthy joke, but the beauty of it is that is true.
In the new film “Penelope” Ricci shared a scene with a chimpanzee named Chim Chim. The movie depicts the life of Ricci’s character who was born with the nose of a swine. Chim Chim went ape-shit (bad pun intended) crazy and grabbed her breast and refused to let go.
“I’m afraid of monkeys but I had decided not to be afraid of this monkey because no one else is: ‘Everyone else thinks he’s awesome so just be cool.’ It’s the first day of shooting and I have this kitchen scene where I’m sitting down and the monkey is sitting right next to me. Of course it freaks out during the take and grabs my left breast and will not let go, and he’s so strong. I’m thinking, ‘This thing is gonna rip it’s hand away and I will no longer have a boob there!’”
After calmly asking for help she was freed from the chimp’s grasp. Reese Witherspoon, Richard E. Grant and James McAvoy saved the left breast from being ripped off. After her fear was “validated” she didn’t go near the animal again.
If that would have been me I would have been arrested for giving a monkey a beat down. I mean he would at least have to by me dinner first.
It’s been widely reported that Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn can’t stop butting heads on the set of Four Christmases but apparently it was a scene where they’re supposed to bump uglies that really has Reese hot and bothered — but for all the wrong reasons. “Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene,” an on-set source tells PageSix.com. The sex scene is written as a funny, American Pie-style romp, but “Reese is such a prude, she thinks it’s just too much,” the insider adds.
While Reese may be the bigger star of the two, Vince definitely has more clout on set. Not only is he one of the film’s producers but he also oversaw most of the writing, so the sex scene will most likely be filmed as written.
I don’t know what her big deal is, really… it doesn’t get much worse than getting pleasured on a ferris wheel, no?
What others said:
Page Six says, “Reese may not be the only one scoffing at some of the film’s content — there is a chance Vince’s ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston won’t be too happy, either, because Vince’s character is oddly named “Brad.”
Celeb Warship says, “Unfortunately for Reese, Vince is a producer for the film and oversaw writing for the script, so sources claimed the scene will be filmed as scripted.”
Looks like Vince INSISTS on having sex with Reese… can’t say I blame him.
