Will Ferrell, The Most Overpaid Star
According to Forbes, Will Ferrell tops the list of overpaid stars. For every dollar he is paid, his movies only make $3.29. Shia LaBeouf's films, for example, make $160 per dollar he is paid. (He's on the mag's Best Stars for the Buck list.)
That's kind of bad news for Ferrell who used to be box office gold. Lately he's had a string of flops, including this summer's big budge Land of the Lost.
Second on the list was Ewan McGregor, who also hasn't really made a hit movie since Star Wars.
Irina Wins Project Runway
We all knew it was coming: Meana Irina won the sixth season of Project Runway last night. We're not saying she's not deserving. Her collection was cohesive and well-made and she has been the most consistently good designer this season. She just doesn't seem very nice.
Even Nina and Michael seemed a little exasperated at the judging panel. Everyone wanted to get this season over with to move onto the next one, which will be thankfully back in New York.
Let's just say congrats to Irina, and look forward to the next crop of designers who hopefully will be a bit more exciting!
Say It Ain't So, O!
Oprah is announcing today that her twenty-fifth season will be her last. That's right. Oprah will no longer be coming into our houses every afternoon. What will we do?
Who's going to tell us which books to read or which movies to care about (or who to vote in for president)? Say it ain't so, Oprah!
Her final show will be on September 9, 2011. It's far away now, but it will come quickly. We're sure that will also be the highest rated television hour of all time!
Jennifer Hudson to Play Winnie Mandela
Jennifer Hudson has scored her first leading role since winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Dreamgirls in 2007. She will be playing Winnie Mandela, Nelson Mandela's controversial ex-wife.
Winnie campaigned for her husband's release for twenty-seven years, but they separated in 1992.
This news comes right as Clint Eastwood's new Nelson Mandela biopic, Invictus, is about to come out starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.
We're psyched for J. Hud, and we totally think she will pull it off.Nicole Named America's Next Top Model
This cycle of America's Next Top Model hasn't exactly been the most exciting. Ty-Ty tried to mix things up by picking all petite girls under five-foot-seven. So when she picked the new winner last night, we weren't so much enthused as we were glad to have a break for a few months from it.
The sort of weird and awkward Nicole Fox beat out Laura for the crown, the cover of Seventeen magazine, and whatever other prizes Tyra yaps about every episode.
Congrats, Nicole! Sadly we are going to immediately forget you until you guest star on the next cycle.Johnny Depp Is the Sexiest Man Alive
Old hat.
For the second time, People has named Johnny Depp as its Sexiest Man Alive. Last year they picked Hugh Jackman. Depp had won in 2003 too. (See the covers from now and then above.)
Now we're not disagreeing with Depp's hotness, but when you look at the other men on the list, did they really have to have a do-over? It seems like they just always rotate between him, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney.
The others who made the cut included, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr., and John Legend.
See what we mean?GQ Names Men of the Year
GQ's Men of the Year issue for 2009 has been revealed with five different covers. For the second year in a row they have named President Barack Obama as "Leader of the Year." (We're not sure what the competition for that one looks like.)
Chris Pine was named "Breakout of the Year," the guys from The Hangover are "Funnymen of the Year," Tom Brady had the "Comeback of the Year," and Clint Eastwood is "Badass of the Year."
No word on who else makes the list inside the issue, but we can all find out next week when it hits the newstands.
Dancing with the Stars Is Down to Three Finalists
We're only one week away from having a new winner for Dancing with the Stars. Moms everywhere couldn't be more thrilled.
Last night Joanna Krupa was eliminated, leaving Kelly Osbourne, Donny Osmond (ugh!), and Mya as the last three stars standing...er...dancing.
So who will it be? Our money is on Kelly. She's been the sweetheart of the competition so far, but look for Donny to push through and do what his sister Marie couldn't when she was on the show. Those Osmonds are nothing if they're not competitive.
Miley Hates Twilight
Miley Cyrus is no Twi-hard. She said that she's never seen Twilight and she never will.
Cyrus said: “I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires, I don’t like the wolf that pops out on the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it."
Does it sound like maybe Hannah Montana is a little jealous? Suddenly there's something more popular than her with the tweens, and she's not havin' any!
Robin Wright's New Do
Robin Wright is back on the prowl. If you need any proof, check out her new brunette do.
The former Mrs. Sean Penn is out promoting her new movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and, well, looking pretty hot.
We think the dark hair (and her newly single status) suits her.
