Funnyman Will Ferrell and British actor Ewan McGregor on Wednesday headed a Forbes.com list of Hollywood’s most overpaid stars when looking at the financial returns of their movies.

Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey also made the top 10 tally of actors who cost more to hire than they appear to be worth at box offices.

Ferrell took first place largely due to the flop of his summer 2009 movie “Land of the Lost”, which Forbes said cost an estimated $100 million to make but earned just $65 million at box offices worldwide for movie studio Universal Pictures.

The movie followed a disappointing $43 million box office for Ferrell’s 2008 outing “Semi-Pro“, and $128 million for “Step Brothers“.

Using a formula that calculated the actor’s estimated salary on each film, including DVD and TV sales, compared to the film’s revenues from theater box offices and elsewhere, Forbes.com said that for every dollar Ferrell was paid, his films earned an average $3.29.

To create the list, the financial news website looked at Hollywood’s 100 biggest stars who had lead performances in at least three widely distributed movies in the last five years.

McGregor, best known for “Trainspotting” and his work in the “Star Wars” franchise, is not among Hollywood’s highest paid actors but has recently proved a poor investment, averaging a return of $3.75.

Cruise, considered one of the biggest players in Hollywood, came sixth on the list with a return on investment of $7.18. Forbes said he had benefited from deals where he took nothing up front in return for a portion of the box-office gross. The deal resulted in Cruise getting paid for films like “Lions for Lambs” even if the studio did not recoup its money.

Eddie Murphy commanded a high salary after the success of family comedies like “The Nutty Professor“. But his most recent films “Meet Dave” and “Imagine That” were box office duds, taking Murphy to fourth place for earning an average $4.43 for each dollar he was paid, Forbes.com said.

Forbes 10 Most Overpaid Stars were;

1. Will Ferrell ($3.29)

2. Ewan McGregor ($3.75)

3. Billy Bob Thornton ($4)

4. Eddie Murphy ($4.43)

5. Ice Cube ($4.77)

6. Tom Cruise ($7.18)

7. Drew Barrymore ($7.43)

8. Leonardo DiCaprio ($7.52)

9. Samuel Jackson ($8.59)

10. Jim Carrey ($8.62)

To all those who are ready to burn Robert Pattinson to the stick as a heartless, pasty white smelly vampire, know this:Robert did not spend 5 minutes infront of the mirror high-fiving his dick for managing to get a hot stranger completely naked in front of a lot of people just by asking her to take her clothes off. As a matter of fact, his heart is still bleeding every time he recalls that incident (and if you get close enough, you’ll see those blood tears streaming down his eyes).

Via The Sun:

TWILIGHT hunk ROBERT PATTINSON has admitted his “terrible guilt” – after making a girl fan STRIP for him.

The Brit – who shot to global fame as brooding film vampire Edward Cullen – said he was shocked when the girl did exactly as he asked during a signing session.

Robert, 23, said: “It was after a period of signing 500 signatures and one of the fans came up.

“You kind of get ten seconds with each person and you never really say anything and I kind of got bored of saying, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’

“And she said in her 10 seconds, ‘What can I do to get your attention?’

“I was like, ‘Um, just take your clothes off.’

“And she stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security.

“I never felt more terrible. The guilt.”

He also told Ellen Degeneres, he thinks he lives up to his sex symbol image in New Moon – the sequel to hit flick Twilight.

The actor, who shows off his toned body in the movie, said: “This is the first time I’ve ever been proud of my physical appearance.”

He has also revealed that he came close to changing his career.

Robert said: “Literally, the day before I did this audition (for Twilight) I was going to quit acting, because I’d never got any jobs. It’s incredible.”

New Moon has been condemned by the Vatican as a “deviant moral vacuum”.

You guys, this is an emotional moment. You mean to say, they’ll be no more “my vajayjay is painin!!”? moments? Oh, no, the urge to go for a double decker with an extra large side of fries is utterly overwhelming. Oprah, help, we can’t do it without you. And we were seriously hopping to get another chance to win a Prius…because we know how happy you get on your somewhat slim-but definitely not a gorilla in red lipstick days.

Ok, people, let’s focus on the positives. After all we still have 680 days with the anointed patron of couch potatoes. Let’s start appreciating what we will soon not have by watching more…wait a second, could that be why she gave us these 680 days? Could this be all about ratings? Ma, where’s that gallon of Ben&Jerry’s? We’re feeling a panic attack coming our way!!

After more than 20 years at the top of the daytime talk show game, Oprah Winfrey’s calling it quits.

According to insiders, Winfrey informed her staff of her decision late yesterday afternoon in a company meeting, described as “emotional, supportive and respectful.”

That same afternoon, Tim Bennett, president of Winfrey’s Harpo production house, announced that the media mogul will step off the “Oprah” set in September 2011. He said Winfrey will confirm the news on Friday’s edition of her show.

“The Oprah Winfrey Show” will not move on to the cable Oprah Winfrey Network or OWN.

Since “Oprah’s” 1986 inception, Winfrey’s grown to be far more than a shoulder to cry on for scandal-scarred stars. Her empire — which includes films, books, magazines and Web sites, in addition to her TV show — influences people the world over, and her wealth — at one point, she was the world’s only African-American billionaire, according to Forbes magazine — grants her access to people, places and things few others can conceive.

What’s next for Winfrey? Perhaps she’ll drop a hint on her show Friday.

Apparently Tila Tequila did something which caused her lawyer to publicly admit there’s something seriously wrong with his client. And just when we thought he was about to tell us Tila is going on a humanitarian mission to Angola (where she may or may not hand out food rations with her boob folds), that she has applied to adopt 10 children from Madonna’s orphanage (who she may or may not turn into skilled webcam performers) and has vowed to wear a burka going forward, we found out all this upset involves a video of Tequila ranting incoherently (whether the dry mouth was the result of too much booze or vicodine is unknown) and then stripping in front of the camera to show how resilient little asian chicks can be after a proper manhandle by their 6ft 11 giant black man.

We’re thinking her lawyer meant she has different flavors of “something wrong with her” and this was just Wednesday’s. Because we know this girl like she was our own and her Tuesday’s mental illness still involves the same package of madness, just with different color underwear.

Oh, and the rapping? Preeeeeecious!!!!

Here’s the story via TMZ:

Attorney Cyrus Nownejad tells TMZ he thinks the “domestic violence” incident with Shawne in September may have “pushed her over the edge.”
Nownejad acknowledges something is seriously wrong with Tila and he’s trying to figure out how to get her some help.
Tila just took down her Ustream, showing her dancing nude and talking crazy in front of the camera. She also went off on Shawne and his alleged drug use.

London, England (CNS) – Amy Winehouse has been taken to the hospital yet again, but this time, it’s apparently because of a leaked boob job. The “Rehab” songstress’ father Mitch has hinted that his daughter recently went to a hospital after having problem with her enhanced breasts.

He said on his “Mitch Winehouse’s Showbiz Rant” show while pointing to his chest, “I can’t say why she went into hospital, but it wasn’t because she had a cold. She’s fine, she just had a little leaky something or other.”

U.K.’s Daily Mirror also quotes a friend of the singer that Winehouse saw something “oozing out of her top.”

But despite the difficulties with her implants, which reportedly cost around $58,000, she still plans to have another operation on other parts of her body. She is allegedly aiming for a “dream pin-up” look.

Donald Trump has his hands full these days with horny little girls who want to bring world peace by singing Kumbaya with their coochies. Bust out the pigeons everyone! Afganistan, are you feeling the warmth?

To explain, Hiroko Mima, who was crowned Miss Universe Japan 2008, and Anya Ayoung-Chee, who was crowned Miss Universe 2008 of Trinidad and Tobago 2008, are now in the middle a scandal threatening to overshadow Carrie Prejean and her hopes to make it big with Vivid Entertainment after a sex tape leaked allegedly showing Hiroko and Anya together having sex with Anya’s boyfriend Wyatt Gallery, and ofcourse, with each other.

A rep from the Miss Universe pageant responded to the scandal surrounding the Miss Universe contestants with the following statement:

“This was apparently eight months after the pageant and neither were the reigning titleholder.”

“The photographer is NOT a Miss Universe staffer so we have nothing to say or any involvement, thank goodness.”

People Magazine honoured Johnny Depp by rewarding him with the title of the Sexiest Man Alive for the second time in 6 years (he won it again in 2003), only to use a picture that promotes his virtues as a middle-aged Puertorican garbage collector with an inability to grow a proper beard and moustache. We’re guessing what gave Johny an edge over Robert Pattinson (because they both rule in the unruly hair department) is that Johnny is a little less smelly…and just when we thought that being pasty white and pretending to love blood was good enough. People Magazine, you are confusing us! At least you gave him the Best Chest Award…

Carmen Electra is the executive producer and director of a “Lesbian” sex tape which was “leaked” online and fortunately for her was immediately picked up by suckers worldwide (guilty as charged).

The promo spot, sorry, sex tape is really an attempt to give unsuspecting viewers blue balls for Electra so that they will attempt to bring them back to pink by watching her upcoming movie Mardi Gras(in which she expertly teaches some college kids the virtues of being a slut), out in a few months.

So it would really help her if you could watch it and act surprised that she’s trying to seduce another girl (because being married to a cross-dresser and a guy with a great fondness of eyeliner and mascara did not give it away at all).

Wrestling star Hulk Hogan is left pouring with blood after coming to blows with his arch enemy Ric Flair.

The ugly scenes erupted after the pair traded insults about their failed love lives during a press conference in Australia.

But onlookers were left wondering how real the promotional event was – such things are known as a ‘work’ among wrestling fans and often end with one party hurt.

It is thought Hogan, 56, ‘bladed’, cutting himself to start a flow of blood which then poured down his face and all over his white T-shirt.

Australian media groups were unsure what to make of the incident, with many reporting it as a serious bust-up.

According to local reports, one photographer had his flash broken when Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers. As Flair laid into Hogan, his head began to bleed ‘profusely’ and the wrestler appeared unable to get to his feet.

The two wrestling icons are heading up the HulkaMania: Let The Battle Begin tour Down Under.

The match-up between the pair is eagerly anticipated, especially since the Hogan has never wrestled in Australia during his 31-year career.
