How devastating would it be to find yourself on this list? I’m sure this list will definitly affect their next paycheck/negotiations. Forbes has released their Top 10 List of overpaid stars among Hollywood’s Top 100 biggest stars. Meaning, the return on investment - how much they’re paid versus how much the movie ends up making. In order to qualify for this list, each actor had to have appeared in three films in the last five years that opened at at least 500 theaters. Here is the list:

10. Jim Carrey (His movies earn for every dollar spent on his pay check $8.62)
Well, this doesn’t surprise me. Jim Carrey is always Jim Carrey. Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, you know? I mean, he sort of started to do something different with The Number 23, but unfortunately the film wasn’t much of a hit (I liked it though). I think he needs to continue to reinvent himself and try different roles because I can admit if I see that he’s in a comedy, I automatically think Ace Ventura or The Mask and it doesn’t really interest me. That being said, his niche character was PERFECT for Lemony Snicket’s: A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Celebrities are speaking out about insurance companies in the US, “There’s A Storm Coming” style. Celebs also came together a while back during the Prop 8 backlash, with Prop 8: The Musical (with Emmy Host Neil Patrick Harris, Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and more). This time, stars like Will Ferrell, John Hamm, and Olivia Wilde are featured in this video aimed at bringing more attention to insurance company profits vs. health care reform.
Here are some of the quotes from the video spoof:
“We need to remember who the real victims are,” says Donald Faison (Scrubs), to which John Hamm replies, “The health insurance executive.”
“These great businessmen are American heroes,” states Linda Cardellini. “Insurance companies need our support because they keep our selfish priorities in check when we can’t.”
“So why is Obama trying to reform health care when insurance companies are doing just fine making billions of dollars in profit?” asks Will Ferrell.
