^She' an Oscar winner.

It's because her last few movies haven't done so well if I can remember.

He has never won an Oscar, last appeared in a hit two years ago and his celebrity stock nosedived after a messy split from Jennifer Aniston. But the actor Vince Vaughn was yesterday the toast of Hollywood after being unexpectedly identified as the film industry's best-value star.

Research by Forbes magazine revealed that Vaughn, star of films such as Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball and The Break-Up, made his employers an average of $14.73 (£7.40) for every dollar he was paid, putting him at the top of the magazine's annual "Ultimate Star Payback" league table.

Vaughn's trademark goofy charm made him three times more profitable than more established actors such as Will Smith (who was 21st on the list with $5.64) and Tom Cruise (33rd in the list with $3.99) and and a considerably...

Thanks for the stats! I didn't guess anybody's place on the list- thought some would be higher and others lower. I.e., how is Will Smith only # 21! His movies are always blockbusters.

^ I didn't think about those comments as being particularly personal to Cameron I thought they where just basically explainng how any big star once they are attatched to a project can attract director / cast etc, but I suppose you can read it the way you and Heather did.

I think whilst the public generally like her she isn't really a crtic's favourite and like you said her last movies have been so-so.

Perception is what matters. People like her and the media seems to write positive things about her. I don't really hear much about her, but yeah, the public really likes her, as a person.

she was in Jersey girl less than 15 mins, and they explained why they counted their Ocean's apparence. so not sure if JG or Gigli was included.

^ I thought her role in JG is big enough to be counted. I thought they mean cameo's or like five minutes.

They included julia Roberts for Ocean's films which was really only supporting. Im pretty sure in Oceans 12 she is literally on screen for all of five minutes.

^ the article say that they didn't count the movies were actor had a small/supporting role so i guess the other movie is Gigli.

You're welcome; glad you liked it . .This is a special issue from Forbes : "Entertainment All-Stars". I spotted it this past week-end, while grocery shopping. Their explanations of how the figures are calculated are very good. I'm very pleased that Jen is hanging in there. The numbers are relevent. Forbes also understands that a film which "opens wide" ( = / > 1,000 theaters ) has a real advantage over films with a "limited opening", such as "El Cantante" and other indie films.
