News tips

Why is this woman smiling? She's got 15-20 million reasons to be. (AP)

Reese Witherspoon his the highest paid actress in Hollywood, commanding $15 million to $20 million per picture, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She's followed closely by Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman. From there, it drops into the $10 million to $15 million range with the likes of Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore, Jodie Foster and Halle Berry. Angelina may have kept pace with Reese if not for the fact that she made a paltry $8 mil. for her Beowulf (though we're talking $8 mil. for about three weeks of work -- not a bad gig if you can get it). Reese herself took a bit of a paycut to star in Rendition, according to the Reporter, but that's also pretty standard practice: I'll make the movies I want to make for less and pay the rent with crappy comedies.
