Forbes magazine released its list of the 10 most overpaid actors and actress in Hollywood.

  1. Nicole Kidman
  2. Jennifer Garner
  3. Tom Cruise
  4. Cameron Diaz
  5. Jennifer Lopez
  6. Jim Carrey
  7. Nicolas Cage
  8. Drew Barrymore
  9. Will Ferrell
  10. Cate Blanchett

No surprise that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are on this list. These two are no longer famous for their movies. The no longer sell a huge number of box office tickets.

They’re only famous because of their personal lives. Tom is only famous now because he married Katie Holmes, and the world is obsessed with Katie, Tom and Suri.

Nicole is only famous now because she divorced Tom Cruise and married Keith Urban, a country star and former alcoholic who just got out of rehab.

I’m also not surprised that Jennifer Lopez is on this list. She hasn’t had a hit movie since she portrayed Selena in a movie during the 1990s.

To her credit though, Jennifer is a trailblazer. She helped paved the way for many Latina entertainers.
