Angelina-jolie 


Not only did she steal (OK, maybe borrow) Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston. But  Angelina Jolie also made  more than Jen did last year.

Jennifer But only about $2 million more.

Angie earned $27 million from June 2008 through last month, and Jennifer Aniston took home $25 million, according to Forbes' list of Hollywood's biggest female moneymakers

Our first thought? Wow. Angelina's slipping. And our second thought was, "Did Jen make that much for those lame rom coms?

Much of what Jolie earned came by way of the $341-million worldwide box office generated by "Wanted," plus a big upfront payment for her next action spy thriller, "Salt."

Some of Aniston's fat paycheck is from "Marley & Me," and she makes a ton hawking Smartwater. Don't forget those residuals from "Friends" as well as upfront cash for "The Baster."


Coming in third with $24 million was Meryl Streep, star of "Mamma Mia!" Sarah Jessica Parker is fourth with $23 million.

Rounding out the list:  Cameron Diaz ($20 million), Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon ($15 million each), Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore ($12 million each) and RenĂ©e Zellweger ($10 million).

once the friends residuals dry up, the stain's pumped up numbers will deflate.


well, Brad only made 1 million more than Angelina. brad did not place very high on the highest paid actors list.


btw, how is Angelina slipping? Last year they said she made 14 million.


Go Jen! Say what you want about her, she is laughing all the way to the bank!


Jen is the one that is slipping, she made more last year, more than Angie anyway. This year Angie conquered both the highest paid salary (15mil) and the total income as well as the no.1 most powerful celeb in the world!

This article pretty much comfirm my suspicions that you cant aspect much intel from Jen-friendly writers.


Lol..
Who is the Idiot who wrote this?
2 Million is a huge deal..It is not like she made 2 dollars more..
And seriously,Jen making all those duds and still getting paid..Nice scam Jenny..
haaaaaa


Why do you continue to compare these two women. Give it a rest, for cryin' out loud.


Jen at least has made big box office hits. Angie's films are duds. The woman CAN'T act! (and people stay away from Angies movies in droves.


For one Angelina made the powerful celeb in the world for being the Tabloid Queen forbes said cover magazine....Oprah is the Powerhouse she make more and gives more and is hands on and she don't want paps following her..nor does Oprah expose children the way that Saint Angelina does...LMAO Her Mother Theresa Act is going to DESTROY her....LMAO


Liz STOP comparing the two!!!! STOP!!!! Admit you have a problem (that is the first step and STOP!!!)

STOP stating that Angelina "borrowed", "stole", Brad. It is SEXIST!. You imply that men are PROPERTY that can somehow be taken. Which is just as bad as the laws that so long viewed women as property.

Every adult is accountable for their actions. NOT the people around them.

Do you think you could actually present things intelligently? Or does your need for sensationalism and your apparent dislike of Angelina get it the way?

Are you this sexist with your co-workers? Your kids? God help them all!
