Reese Witherspoon passes Julia Roberts...
Reese Witherspoon has just surpassed Julia Roberts as Hollywoods best paid actress. Reese will be making 29 million for an upcoming film.
29 million!!! Thats a lot of money for a one movie.
And Ryan Philippe will be joining with Chad Lowe in a support group for actors whose wives careers totally outsurpass theirs.  Seriously, I heard he is not too happy.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Well on the bright side, Philippe should do well should they ever divorce. Assuming there was no Pre-Nup. Wasn't his and Witherspoon's lever of fame a lot more equitable when they married?

Yeah, they were married in mid '99, just after Cruel Intentions was released. IMDB says that he made more on that one than she did, and she got third-billing, behind Gellar and him.

$29 million? No actor, not even Streep, DeNiro and Pacino in their prime, is worth that much.

The question now is, after her oscar win on sunday, what big-budget flop of an action picture is she going to star in?
It baffles me why 2 huge, bankable oscar winners, as well as the oscar nominated actress from Hotel Rwanda, went that route.
Regards,

It's not surprising to me that Sophie Okonedo did Aeon Flux; presumably, she got a big paycheck, and with very little risk involved for her, since nobody knew she was in it anyway. But for Charlize and Halle to agree to be in crap like that is more surprising, considering that big leading names are definitely putting things on the line to some extent when star vehicles get built around them. They obviously hoped that those movies could bring them a similar kind of post-Oscar success that Jolie had with Tomb Raider, but they chose...poorly.

Charlize signed on for Aeon Flux and North Country before she won the Oscar.

It would seem that the studio writing Ms. Witherspoon a $29 million check would disagree.
Good for her. She's talented, attractive and apparently can put butts in the seats. |
