Brad Pitt's women top earners: Angie and Jen rake it in
3 July 2009 9:53 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news
Actor Brad Pitt's women are big earners in Hollywood. Current partner and mother to his children, Angelina Jolie and ex wife Jennifer Aniston were ranked by Forbes as income making machines. Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie earned an estimated $27 million. Coming in second behind Jolie is Jennifer Aniston. That sentence probably gives Aniston no solace after being tossed aside for the younger Jolie by Pitt while she was married to him. Aniston earned a respectable $25 million. Meryl Streep earned 24 million dollars thanks to "Mamma Mia," while Sarah Jessica Parker came in fourth with 23 million dollars for the big-screen debut of "Sex and the City." In fifth place was Cameron Diaz,

3 July 2009 2:25 AM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news
Maybe Brad Pitt now realizes how lucky he is to be hunted by paparazzi. On Thursday, July 2, he was saved by paparazzo who was following him when he faced an occasional roadside emergency, motorcycle breakdown, on Hollywood road, California.
That afternoon, Brad was riding his vintage motorcycle with paparazzi on his tail. When reaching a residential area near the Franklin Village in Los Angeles, the bike stalled which forced him to the curb. After trying to diagnose the problem for several times, the "Moneyball" star gave up and accepted a ride from one of the paparazzi who were following him.
Most recently, Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital. It was reported that the money will be used to help St. John's Hospital establishing endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists.

Angelina Jolie is Top Earning Actress of 2008
2 July 2009 5:00 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news
We recently reported that Harrison Ford topped the list of highest-paid male actors of 2008 with $65 million, which he earned for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." But what about the ladies? Forbes is reported that Angelina Jolie was the highest paid actress of 2008 with $27 million, less than half of what the top-earning male made. The magazine added that the top 10 actors earned $393 million, compared with $183 million for the top 10 actresses. What do these numbers mean? Some have argued that Hollywood is sexist and that there aren't that many good roles for actresses, especially after a certain age. Others have pointed to box office results, stating that movies with male leads earn more than movies with female leads. In other words... Fans are not interested in seeing a Nicole Kidman movie, but will instead pay big bucks to see the new Will Smith blockbuster. Top 10 highest paid actresses

Angelina And Jen Duke It Out As Top Female Moneymakers
2 July 2009 10:05 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
You know we're not type to report on gossip (that job goes to our celeb section), but here's something worth mentioning: Angelina Jolie has bested Jennifer Aniston once again. No, this has nothing to do with Brad, but with money; Jolie and Aniston top Forbes' list of top-earning Hollywood actresses, with Jolie earning about $27 million in the last year, and Aniston taking in $25 million. It may be surprising to see Aniston up that high, given that she doesn't have nearly the same headliner appeal as Jolie, but she was top-billed in Fox's massive hit Marley & Me last year, and remains a household name. In a wonderful surprise, Meryl Streep comes in third behind Aniston, having earned $24 million last year almost entirely due to Mamma Mia! We truly do live in a wonderful country when a woman turning 60 is still a major box office draw. Below is a list of ...

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes announced Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston as the biggest female moneymakers in Hollywood this past year. Many people are, of course, already taking note of the Brad Pitt connection. From June 2008 to June 2009 Jolie pulled in $27 million, while Aniston earned $25 million.
Jolie's big paycheck comes courtesy of Wanted, which grossed $341 million worldwide, and an advance for her role as a CIA agent in Phillip Noyce's upcoming Salt. Aniston's money comes from box-office winner Marley & Me, as well as her role in SmartWater commercials. She also received an advance for The Baster, where she will star alongside Juliette Lewis, Jason Bateman, and Jeff Goldblum.

Angelina Jolie Tops Jennifer Aniston in Film $$$$$$
1 July 2009 8:50 PM, PDT | From TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news
Angelina Jolie not only brings home the bacon she fries it up in a pan. The actress, long considered Hollywood’s most glamorous, is also its top female earner, banking a reported $27 million last year. That just tops rival Jennifer Aniston, who made $25 million. Meryl Streep came in at No. 3 with $24 million, most of which came from her role in "Mamma Mia," and Sarah Jessica Parker was ranked fourth with $23 million in earnings from the successful movie version of TV series "Sex and the City." Cameron Diaz rounds out the top five, banking $20 million between June 2008 and June 2009, according to Forbes magazine’s ranking of female actors. But the biggest winner of all may be Brad Pitt. He knows how to spot income potential.
