@Passing Through: how could this be for last year when she just signed on for Salt this year? I never trust forbes because Giselle Bundchen once admitted that they were way off when they named her riches model or something like that. The only reason they do the list is for publicity.

The time period for Forbes’ list is July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. As for the numbers Forbes comes up with? NOBODY agrees with them, not just Gisele. Like GC said earlier - either Forbes is pulling the numbers out of their asses or the people they “consult” with for their survey are. Take your pick. Here’s the info someone else posted earlier about who Forbes consulted with to come up with these numbers…
.
To figure out earnings, we talked to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine what the stars got as upfront pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as back-end pay earned after a movie hit the theaters. We also looked at any money actresses might have earned through their perfume or clothing lines.

I’m not a Brad fan but it’s a funny commercial.

Since when do actors get back end deals on voice over for animation?

“When they are vital to a film. Katzenberg had Ang out front for all the major publicity on KFP and when have you ever seen Ang do a DVD launch event before KFP? Cameron Diaz reportedly got back-end on Shrek II and III.”

Cameron Diaz supposedly made $30MIL on Shrek 3 - all backend, no salary up-front. And she made less than Eddie Murphy & Mike Myers. Shrek The Third made $799MIL worldwide, had $173.5MIL in US DVD sales, the studios don’t even disclose what they make in international DVD sales. That’s at least $972 MILLION…and then there’s DVD rentals, promotional tie-ins, broadcast tv and PPV rights, etc. That movie probably made someone in the neighborhood of $1.5-2 BILLION. Of coure it cost $160MIL to make and they probably spent $100MIL more on marketing, but Dreamworks still made almost $1BIL in profits off that movie. So Diaz getting $30MIL isn’t as far-fetched at is sounds. Just going by the $972MIL US numbers - if you double production costs and marketing, that’s what the movie would have needed to make to about break even - $520MIL. That would give them a profit of $452MIL. If Diaz got 6.75%…that’s $30.51MIL. Totally doable…

Brad looks very young in the commercial. He is so cute.

Would you please give it up? Noone believes the idiots at FF. And if one of them is X, then she is an even bigger idiot. Let her wait for Brad to come back to her. After Angie, he has to get past Ms Zee and Ms Shiloh, and I am positive Mad, Pax and the twins are going to have something to say about that. She is going to have a helluva long wait. LOL

From the other thread

groundcontrol @ 07/02/2009 at 12:33 pm I wouldn’t ignore those insiders in FF at all. Specially when they are talking about JA. For 2 months after her first BU with John Mayer they were saying Jen and John were going back together and that was the case there for a long time , There was no sign in getting back but they knew it. And then they actually did get back together. It’s obvious to me Huvan’s close employees post there and give new gossips to media out there. Don’t ignore these insiders easily.

LOL. This made me laugh. WE predicted X and The Urinator would get back togehter after he dumped her the first time…and we’re not “insiders”. Everyone who knows X’s post-divorce t!t-for-tat pattern of behavior predicted they’d get back together in time for her to promote TDF if she couldn’t find a new employee to take over from him. Go back and sift through the J-P threads from late August to early October of last year. We got a ton of mileage out of making fun of X’s PRmances.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Angelina Jolie vacillates between two kinds of movies: award bait, like A Mighty Heart, and action films, like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The former earn her nominations and critical praise: She won an Oscar in 2000 for her work in Girl, Interrupted and a Best Actress nomination for last year’s Changeling. The latter earn her big bucks. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where Jolie met Brad Pitt, earned $480 million at the worldwide box office. Last year’s Wanted brought in $341 million.

Jolie’s cinematic butt kicking made her the highest-paid actress on our annual Celebrity 100 list. Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie earned an estimated $27 million. Much of that came from her share of the profits on Wanted, but she also scored a fat upfront check for Salt, an action film originally slated to star Tom Cruise, in which Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. Judging by scenes filmed on the streets of New York City, the film should have plenty of action to satisfy Jolie’s

Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Organization Releases New Housing Designs

Staying on celebrities for a minute, Brad Pitt, has released a slew of new house designs for his Make It Right project which builds houses to replace those damaged or destroyed by the flooding in New Orleans during the Hurricane Katrina debacle (you might recall our post from a few years ago about the first round). Each of the new designs were created by 14 different firms ranging from Gehry Partners to a collaborator of Make It Right’s from the start, William McDonough + Partners. There’s information about each of the plans available on the project’s site (though most of the firms just provide their bios, a few of links have information about the actual plans you’re looking at), as well as a handful of photos and downloadable renderings and plans, to give you a closer look.

Love this commercial. Love Brad.

its a phone company thing in japan ive used it before

I think it means the phone is very light.

The trolls are going crazy because there are no pics of Brad and his family. Well I am glad they are enjoying this time away from the lense of the paps and the dirty mouths of haters. They deserve and earned their peace and quiet.

funny commercial

Brad looks 10 years younger without facial hair. But he loves facial hair, doesn’t he? I love him either way.

@Don’t Tell THAT:

If you go back and read JJ threads you will read that regulars who are not Aniston fans were saying that she would get back with Mayer. Regulars predicted they would breakup after the Oscars also. So your theory doesn’t mean much. JJ regulars so predicted there would be rumors about her and GB and that she would be seen with an up and coming young actor.
No inside information needed. Just an understanding of how shallow and needy Aniston is. Also how gullible her fans like you are.

ROTFL. You beat me to it. It doesn’t take an insider to know what X is going to do. Right now she’s laying low, trying to figure out her options now that Closet Boy had blown up her battleship. She had her ass tugged back to the boatyard to make repairs and restock her fuel and ammo supply. Right this very moment Bloatler is trying to figure out how he can speed up the shooting schedule to make sure they’re done before late August/early September when she needs to start pimping TNCM. And you can bet your ass Aaron Eckhart is watching closely to see if Bloatler escapes or if he’s going to have to play Dodge The Needy One during the movie promotional period…

Great commercial…love Brad…love Spike Jones!! Thanks for the new thread Jared!
