Forbes magazine released its Top-Earning Actresses of the year list, based on June 2008 to June 2009 profits (including endorsement deals), and the top spot belongs to (drum roll please) ...
Angelina Jolie, with a sweet $27 million.
Kate Winslet was spotted proudly carrying her swaddled Oscar through JFK airport after returning from Los Angeles.
We love how she cradles it like a baby.
Are we the only ones still giggling to ourselves when we think of Hugh Jackman's techno homage to The Reader?
It reminded us of that awesome cell phone commercial with "The Techno Twins, Slaz and Veeder."
Umpst, umpst, umpst...woooooh!

Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at the Academy Awards, winning eight of the ten awards it was nominated for. Milk's star and writer were also lauded while The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which had the most nods going into the night, twelve in total, but was only recognized for its visual and technical achievements.
And the winners are...
While Kate Winslet may be poised to end her run as the Susan Lucci of the Oscars tonight for her role in The Reader, it’s her parents' approval which she really strives for.
Kate Winslet has no problem baring it all.
We’ve seen everything from boobs (Iris, Jude, Titanic) to full-on bush (Holy Smoke), but she’s decided it’s time to retire Nekkid Kate after her Oscar-nominated (and, again, nude) turn in The Reader.
“I think I won’t do it again: A. I can’t keep getting away with it, and B. I don’t want to become ‘That actress who always gets her kit off,’” Winslet, 33, told Time Magazine.
Is anyone else suffering from award season fatigue or is it just us?
Last night the BAFTA Awards were announced and, as usual, it was a parade of every winner we’ve seen all year. We can practically recite them in our sleep.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months, the winners (again) were:
Best Film: Slumdog Millionaire
Best Director: Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Leading Actor: Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler
Leading Actress: Kate Winslet, The Reader
The BAFTA Awards, the British equivalent of the Oscars, announced this years’ nominees and our fave, Slumdog Millionaire, got mad love with eleven nominations including one for our boy Dev Patel as Best Actor.
Kate Winslet was bestowed a double nomination once again for The Reader and Revolutionary Road, and so was Brad Pitt who got the nod for both The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading.
A complete list of BAFTA nominees is below:
In case you were keeping score, need to settle a bet or had a Golden Globes pool, here's a complete list of last night's winners in the order the awards were handed out.
Kate Winslet is breathtakingly stunning as she arrives for New York premiere of her new film, The Reader, at The Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan on Wednesday night.
Her portrayal of a former Nazi prison guard opposite Ralph Fiennes has people buzzing she might be Oscar-bound (with the possibility of a second nomination for Revolutionary Road as well).
We think she deserves a golden statuette for her unmitigated beauty and the way she fills out that Herve Leger dress.
We bow at the altar of Winslet!
