      I'm not a fan. But Julia Roberts is no spring chicken. Somebody's gotta take the throne.

        Why not? That's a $10 million raise... but male leads get that kind of money so why shouldn't women? Why should Adam Sandler be worth $30 million but Reese Witherspoon not be?

          Why did I have a feeling Rasta started this thread before I even clicked on it?

            reese witherspoon is not a star. she is a women who got some great roles, but do people go to the movies to see her. no.

            this is a slippery web, weaved on a slop when stuff gets tangled in the hollywood webbing.

                Let's all be fair for a second. She had reasonable hits in the past. Which makes her somewhat deserving But the box office and accolades for Walk the Line were her true breakthrough. That movie is a monumental moment in her career.

                So this whole pay raise is completely understandable.

                  I can't remember if it's you or VMF that I'm at war with...I think it's you.

                  Anyway, I'll agree with you on this. I think Hollywood's overpaying her. But hey, that's their loss.

                      Anyone that can pull in 30 mil for a couple months work has my utmost respect.

                      Smells like sour grapes in here....

                        If you look at the numbers I posted she's well worth it.

                        Personally her comedies are atrocious.

                        I have to admit, she was great in walk the line.

                          The only thing I've seen I liked Reese Witherspoon in was Legally Blonde.

                          I still haven't had a chance to see Walk the Line, though. It only stayed at my local theatre for about 3 days before it was replaced by something else - and that was during its first run.

                              How is it not? It's the succession of Hollywood royalty. Julia Roberts is getting old. The next one in line is Reese.

                              Can you tell me any other actress (based on box office, popularity, and talent combined) that deserves it more?
