 Will Smith is Hollywood's biggest money earner pulling in a
record $80 million for himself.
Johnny Depp, came in a close second making just over $72 million.
Third, fourth and fifth place goes to
Leonardo DiCaprio,
Eddie Murphy and
Mike Meyers, they
each pocketed about $55 million. Men generally make twice as
much as women
in Hollywood. Yet
Cameron Diaz made $50 million last year. We don't
think she's complaining.

 The
Buzz is that
Heath Ledger
in the role as the Joker in The Dark Knight
may get him the nod for an Oscar. His co stars and many around
Hollywood think it's a shoe in. Ledger died of an accidental
overdose in January at age 28. The movie has grossed the most money
by a film released internationally by making the most money ever in
the least amount of time. Box Office Records are about to be broken
as The Dark Knight stands to break the 600 million record by Titanic
and the 315 million record by Iron Man.
Did You Know -
Leonardo DiCaprio
was offered the role of the
porn star Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights (1997) at around the same
time as he was offered his role in Titanic (1997). The Dirk Diggler
role eventually went to
Mark Walhberg....while super star status
came to DiCaprio playing Jack Dawson in Titanic. Titanic so far is
the highest grossing film ever, tied with Ben-Hur (1959) for most
Academy Awards, though Leonardo himself
was not nominated.
 Model-turned-actress
Cameron Diaz
seemed to come out of nowhere when she made her 1994
screen debut opposite
Jim Carrey
in The Mask. Cameron Diaz runs the
gamut from action movie flicks like Charlie's Angel's to more
serious roles like in Gangs of New York and even voice animation in
Shrek. Cameron has become one of Hollywood's most powerful and
highest paid actresses. Cameron Diaz made $50 million last year, the
Shrek and What Happens in Vegas earns her the title of top-earning
female in the movie business. Her personal life also makes the movie
news headlines. Cameron has dated
Matt Dillon
and
Jared Leto.
She also dated pop star Justin Timberlake for nearly four years.
