Will Ferrell tops Forbes’ list of most-overpaid actors.
Ferrell climbed his way to the top from ‘SNL’ to dominating the box-office with flicks like ‘Anchorman,’ but according to Forbes’ math, the actor isn’t providing much return on investment.
Ferrell costs $15 million per movie, but back in 2009, his ‘Land of the Lost’ only hauled in $69 million despite costing $100 million. So, for every $1 Ferrell made, the studio only made $3.35.
Here are the other actors Forbes rates as overrated in order from 2 to 10.
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy hit the jackpot with ‘Shrek,’ but after two box-office clunkers in ‘Imagine That’ and ‘Meet Dave,’ the all-time great comic is developing a shaky reputation in Hollywood.
Denzel Washington
Even an Oscar winner like Denzel is struggling with box-office success. With two train movies in a row — ‘Pelham 123’ and the upcoming ‘Unstoppable’ — Washington is only giving studios a return of $5.10 for every dollar he makes.
Seth Rogen
The most successful Judd Apatow product went on a serious run with ‘Knocked Up’ and ‘Pineapple Express,’ but the now-thinner Rogen isn’t making people laugh like he used to.
Tom Cruise
Cruise made a good comeback with his hilarious cameo in ‘Tropic Thunder,’ but he hasn’t reclaimed his throne as box-office king yet. No doubt he’s banking on ‘Mission: Impossible 4’ to be his comeback film.
Drew Barrymore
The only woman on Forbes’ list, she’s struggled recently with a string of under-performing date flicks like ‘Lucky You’ and ‘Everybody’s Fine.
Matt Damon
When Matt Damon does a Jason Bourne movie, he’s worth every penny. Not so much the rest of the time.
Vince Vaughn
He’s had mixed results with two Christmas movies, ‘Four Christmases’ and ‘Fred Claus.’ He wants to get back on track with Ron Howard’s ‘The Dilemma.’
Adam Sandler
Before ‘Grown Ups,’ Sandler was in the danger zone, Forbe says. He’ll probably lose this ranking after “Grown Ups” made $270 million globally.
Jim Carrey
He used to be a sure-thing at the box office, but now he’s taking more chances with unorthodox comedies. In his latest gamble, ‘I Love You Phillip Morris,’ he portrays a con-artist who falls in love with Ewan McGregor.
Rihanna helped fans get into the holiday spirit at The Westfield Shopping Center in London.
The Umbrella singer, 22, donning a geometric red skirt and pastel bustier, ceremoniously switched on the Christmas lights before a crowd of cheering fans. She was accompanied by a chorus of children from the charity Help a London Child, and she grinned from ear to ear when the stage was showered with confetti, according to Radaronline.
The Barbados singer recently said she planned to move to London. “I’m very excited to be in London, and surprised that so many people have turned out to see me. I love London, maybe one day I’d like to have a home here.”
She enjoyed her visit so much, she Tweeted: “Westfield Mall, London! Its BANANAS in here! it doesn’t get better than u guys”
It’s no surprise that actresses on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” have had plastic surgery. It’s surprising to see just how much they’ve had done.
They recently spilled all on Judith Regan’s SIRIUS XM radio show:
KIM RICHARDS: “I did a little Botox at one point with my sister, and I did have implants that I had taken out. They made them too big, and I couldn’t see my feet. Not that I loved my toes, but I would like to glance at them now and then.”
KYLE RICHARDS: “I did have my nose done. I have done Botox. My husband doesn’t know, but he does now … But these are my own boobs!”
ADRIENNE MALOOF: “Botox, fillers, boobs, nose … No lips … No cheek bones.”
LISA VANDERPUMP: “I plead the fifth … Okay, I have a bucket of Botox in my face!”
TAYLOR ARMSTRONG: “Just start from the top, right? You should’ve seen what I looked like before – oh my God! I mean, scary! So yeah … filler , Botox. And I had my boobs done.”
CAMILLE GRAMMER “Oh God, what have I done? Let’s see, obviously I’ve had a breast augmentation and … Botox absolutely — just a crock full of Botox.”‘
It’s just another day in paradise for Vin Diesel.
The action hero is in Rio filming the fifth instalment in his “Fast and the Furious” franchise, called Fast Five.
But by the look of things they have a pretty lapse filming schedule, as since they arrived in Brazil three days ago the cast and crew appear to have done nothing but hang out, chill and just generally laze around on the beach, according to London’s Daily Mail.
The 43-year-old was hanging out with his co-star, rapper turned actor Ludacris, and the two men were working up quite a sweat, sitting in the sun, talking to passing fans, posing for photographs and watching the world pass by.
Diesel was dressed to impress, in true Hollywood star fashion, in some trendy long check shorts, white trainers and a tight white vest.
To finish off his look, Diesel wore a couple of silver dog tags around his neck, hanging from a long chain, and, of course, every actors wardrobe essential, a large pair of sunglasses.
Ludacris looked more suited for the streets than the beach, in his long jeans and T-shirt.
All this hanging around obviously became just a little too much for Diesel at one point as he had to take a break from all that exhausting relaxing business and jump on a bike for a ride around the beach.
Despite only being in Rio for a few days the 43-year-old native New Yorker already looks like one of the locals as he chatted to all and sundry.
Diesel even took some time out to dispense some friendly advice to a guy working out on the beach.
