It’s that time of again, when we all (or most of us) read articles like this and then think of our bank accounts and cry ourselves to sleep, because Forbes have just released Hollywood’s Top-Earning Actresses.
Brad Pitt must do something good to women because Angelina Jolie tops the list while his ex wife Jennifer Aniston is right behind her.
Most of Angelina’s money came from the $341 million that her movie Wanted made, plus she got a chunk of money from her next movie, Salt.
As for Jennifer’s money, her film Marley & Me made abotu $244 million, she gets money from being the spokesperson for SmartWater, she got money for her next film The Baster and of course she still rakes in cash from Friends residuals.
The top 15 list looks like this:
1: Angelina Jolie - $27 million
2: Jennifer Aniston - $25 million
3: Meryl Streep - $24 million
4: Sarah Jessica Parker - $23 million
5: Cameron Diaz - $20 million
6: Sandra Bullock - $15 million
6: Reese Witherspoon - $15 million
8: Nicole Kidman - $12 million
8: Drew Barrymore - $12 million
10: Renee Zellweger - $10 million
11: Cate Blanchett - $8 million
12: Anne Hathaway, $7 million
12: Halle Berry, $7 million
14: Scarlett Johansson, $5.5 million
15: Kate Winslet, $2 million
According to Forbes, The Top 10 women earned a combined $183 million compared to $393 million for the Top 10 men. And they said sexism was dead?
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%

Who would you let your significant other have sex with?
Like the title says, Janine Lindemulder, a porn star has been sentenced to six months in federal prison and will have to pay around $300,000 in back taxes after she pleaded guilty to intentionally failing to pay her income taxes.
Lindemulder, whose real name is Janine James, admitted making a down payment on a $647,000 Eugene, Oregon home and buying a Jeep, recreational vehicle, piano and furniture while owing $300,000 in federal income taxes.

Once she is out of the chokey she will then have to live in a residential community corrections center for up to six months, to make it more interesting, the money she bought her home with came from a divorce settlement from her ex husband who left her when she was eight months pregnant, Jesse James, now married to Sandra Bullock.
She has starred in such films as King of the Load, Dyke Inc and Dyke Diner to name a few.
Sandra Bullock can breathe a little bit easier now because her stalker has been sentenced to three years of probation.
Following the day after Paula Abdul’s stalker killed herself outside the stars home, Marcia Valentine pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of stalking Bullock.
The actress obtained a restraining order back in May 2007 after testifying that her stalker had, on five occasions, left palm fronds adorned with “weird signs” and “pieces of animal fur” in her yard.
However a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon was dropped against Valentine, she had tried to run over Bullock’s husband, Jesse James, twice with her car after he went outside to write down her license plate number.
Paula Abdul was a dance squad queen before she became the drunk we all know and love today. Rock on with your Sharpie sniffing margarita filled rump.
Madonna was the top of the pyramid before utilizing lesbionic tactics to score press.
Cheerleaders Walking the Red Carpets
Cameron Diaz wore the oversized sweater and pleated skirt to show her school spirit.
Sandra Bullock was riding in the cheer-mobile before she set foot on a doomed bus and rescued by Keanu Reeves.
Lindsay Lohan first used her cheerleading uniform to root for the home team before using it to lure greasy socialites to her bed. I am sure it will be great for her future street corner tricks.
Cheerleaders Who Would Later Fall in Love With Botox and Paxil
Katie Couric practiced her scissor kicks before joining the D-list celeb news anchors. Oh how the mighty fall.
Cheerleaders Who Are Outwitted by Woodland Creatures and Small Children
Who doesn’t love gorgeous women? Every magazine and Web site rounds up their list of Most Sexy This and Hottest That. Who’s got time to read all of them?
Yet we here at Gone Hollywood don’t want you to miss out on any hot celebrity chicks, so we have rounded up all the ladies that make up the elite of celebrity hotness.
Hottest Chick on TV- Kristen Bell
I love Veronica Mars. So Kristen Bell on Heroes is like candy. She looks like the type of girl who would tie you up and make you squeal…in a good way.
At first I thought Portia was guilty of the utmost crime of snobbery. You remember her days on Ally McBeal. She would strut around with long hair like she was Lady Lovely Locks and look pretentious. But now that she is openly dating Ellen Degeneres I can’t tell you how hypocritical I have become. I mean “Arrested Development” was pure gold.
Hottest Actress That is Actually Talented- Keira Knightley
How could you not love Keira. She swears like a sailor on shore leave and doesn’t have any shame. Keira is someone you could drink with and she would be racking up pints faster than you can say pirate hooker.
“Apparently on the Internet I’m a sexy beanpole, tomboy beanpole.”
Rose McGowan is one saucy kitten. She is one of those girls who will bust out freaky toys that make you nervous, but always wanted to try. Plus I have three words for you. Machine gun leg.
Hottest Young Hot Hollywood Chick- Hayden Panettiere
The second of the hot blondes on “Heroes” is Hayden. She is constantly bouncing around in a cheerleader skirt and is never without lip-gloss. Her character never dies and undergoes various grotesque accidents. Beauty and gore. It is like soft core porn and candy for a man.
Salma has just been inducted into the MILF association and has projects around every corner. After fighting her way from Mexican soap opera status, she now ranks among the A-listers. Plus she has fantastic boobies.
She is thin, blonde and rich. We get it. But I fail to see the appeal in Cameron Diaz. In true form she is rather ditzy and lacks talent. This is one chic who make it on appearance alone.
She ranks 14th on the Forbes’ list of the rich and powerful women. Sandra Bullock has that girl next door quality and buckets of cash you could roll in. She is also the type of girl you can bring home to mom, hold a decent conversation with and will ride your Harley without complaining about wind blown hair.
Before you gasp with fear of the voluptuous curves of the Queen, know that in a Yahoo Personals poll she came in third of the most desired single celebrities. Sure Jessica Alba was number one and Jennifer Anniston placed second. But Latifah placed third above Jessica Simpson and Maria Sharapova.
UPDATE (Freddy): In the interest of completeness, here are some of the more notable omissions from Cara’s list. Sure, it takes the list beyond 10 and technically screws up the title. But it’s hot women, people, so get over it already. (And Queen Freakin’ Latifah? Please. No way I’d hit that.)
As James Bond, Daniel Craig always gets the girl. In “Infamous,” he gets the guy.
No doubt there are plenty of on-screen kisses in store for Daniel Craig as the new James Bond. But none will be more talked about than the one that premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
Craig plays one of the men who brutally murdered a Kansas farm family in “Infamous,” which examines Truman Capote’s emotional journey into the minds of two killers that formed the core of his true-crime novel, “In Cold Blood.” An attachment grew between Capote and confessed killer Perry Smith during the long periods the author spent in Kansas teasing out their story, and in a pivotal moment, the two men kiss.
“I never dreamed I’d kiss James Bond,” quipped Toby Jones, the British actor who plays Capote. “Now that I’ve done it, I say I hope I’m just the first of many.”
Director Douglas McGrath said Craig was not a recognizable screen presence to most moviegoing audiences when he cast the 38-year-old actor for his movie, which also stars Sandra Bullock. “That isn’t going to be the case in (a few) weeks,” McGrath said.
First John Travolta, now James Bond. Has the world gone insane?
Sandra Bullock takes of photo of herself with her fans on arrival in London’s Leicester Square, for the British Premiere of her latest film, The Lake House today.
This picture was kind of interesting. It’s like the product taking a picture of itself, it’s so myspace.
Hey at least Sandra took it upon herself to take the picture, look at Nick Lachey, he won’t do it himself, but he’ll lean into the picture if you’re close enough. (this is on the red carpet at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto yesterday)
Even though I run at Hollywood-dedicated blog, I didn’t watch the Oscars. Frankly, I don’t care what movies insiders think are good. I seldom agree.
Now, if you want to talk about how the hotties looked on the red carpet, that’s a whole ‘nother matter. AP Fashion Writer Samantha Critchell has a great roundup of who wore what and who shoulda worn something different. She thiinks Keira Knightley stole the show:
Keira Knightley proved to be fashion royalty at the Academy Awards. She wore a wine-colored, one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang that hit the right balance between youthful funkiness and movie-star glamour. The 20-year-old wore her strawberry blond hair in a loose ponytail, and she had on a one-of-a-kind necklace with emeralds, rubies and diamonds from the 1960s she chose from the Bulgari archives.
Knightley looks good, to be sure:
So do Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek. But then, what else is new?
One suspects Helena Bonham Carter was trying to distract attention from her escort:
Michelle Williams modeled herself after classic screen sirens, wearing a yellow chiffon gown with tulle pleats surrounding the V neck. On her arm was Heath Ledger in a classic bow-tie tuxedo, down to the white pocketsquare.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe looked like a superstar couple — she wore a gown with rows of silver beads and he was dressed in a three-piece suit with a black tie.
Felicity Huffman wore a supersexy black gown by Zac Posen with a plunging V neck, keyhole back, sheer panels on the side and pleated bodice and hem.
For Rachel Weisz, who is 7 months pregnant, comfort was important in picking her long, slinky black gown with cap sleeves — which also showed off significant cleavage. “My friend Narciso Rodriguez made me three dresses and I chose one this morning,” she said. Her Chopard emerald-cut diamond demi-drop earrings had round white diamond studs.
Jessica Alba, who was caught by the cameras touching up her Dior lipgloss, chose a tight gold Versace halter gown with floral beading that she said “fit like a glove,” and Jane Seymour was in a champagne satin halter gown with jeweled accents on the bodice by Pamella Roland.
Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams both picked gowns with pockets. Bullock’s navy gown was by Angel Sanchez and Adams’ chocolate brown gown with ribbon applique was by Carolina Herrera. Adams even borrowed Herrera’s own aquamarine dangling earrings.
Charlize Theron’s forest-green, handpainted gown with a bow on one shoulder was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior. She said the leather silk satin fabric was “insane” — but some might have said that about the too-big bow.
Jennifer Lopez was in a lighter green gown with a fitted bodice that laced up in the back like a corset.
Ziyi Zhang picked a Giorgio Armani gown fresh off the runway: a black scalloped seashell-shaped lace bustier with jet beading worn with a gray Swarovski crystal encrusted full crinoline skirt. Hilary Swank was in a sweetheart-style black strapless gown by Versace.
Jennifer Aniston was in a black tank gown by Rochas with a long train and a vintage platinum-and-diamond Bulgari necklace from the 1930s. Makeup artist Angela Levin, calling Aniston “a sun-kissed angel,” emphasized her eyelashes with a not-yet-available Chanel mascara.
Nicole Kidman was in a cream-colored strapless gown with beautiful delicate embroidery, and Naomi Watts wore a nude-colored, one-shoulder gown with frayed fabric on the top by Givenchy. As the model in jeweler David Yurman’s new ads, Watts’ rose quartz-and-diamond earrings and a rose quartz ring were made especially for her.
Jennifer Garner wore a halter-style, hand-embroidered Michael Kors gown in nude-colored tulle featuring Swarovski crystals and sterling silver flowers.
Jada Pinkett Smith was in a bright blue strapless column gown by Roberto Cavalli. “I just wanted to be a little vibrant and a little sexy on the carpet,” she said. Husband Will Smith chimed in, “That’s my wife in the dress. It becomes difficult to notice the dress itself.”
Salma Hayek had on a slate blue gown, and her hair was long and loose.
One of the biggest misses of the night was Helena Bonham Carter. Her off-the-shoulder, tea-length blue satin gown was fine but her bed-head hair and clunky white shoes were not.
Oscar.com fashion analyst Tom Julian was a fan of Meryl Streep’s plum V-neck gown with long sleeves that she wore with dangling earrings. Julian also noted that the shape of the Oscar gowns shifted to full skirts from the more formfitting styles at the award shows earlier in the season.
As for the men, George Clooney was trying to be sarcastic when he told E!’s Isaac Mizrahi “I’m very stylish,” but he indeed was in his Armani two-button peak lapel tuxedo.
