Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actresses by Forbes.com

Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actresses
Hollywood can be a tough town for women, but these 10 actresses manage to bring in the big bucks. To figure out earnings we talked to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine what stars earned as upfront and back-end pay from June 2009 to June 2010. We also looked at earnings from things like clothing lines, perfume and makeup endorsements.

Sandra Bullock--$56 million

With two hit movies (The Proposal and The Blind Side) and an Oscar win, Bullock should have been sitting on top of the world. She is financially. With $56 million she's the highest-earning actress. But a messy breakup with cheating husband Jesse James turned her into tabloid fodder. Bullock overcame adversity with news of an adoption and a return to public life at the MTV Movie Awards.

Cameron Diaz--$32 million

Thanks to her work in the Shrek films Diaz has a nice, steady income, but she also gets big bucks to appear in romantic films like the action comedy Knight & Day, co-starring Tom Cruise. Diaz also stars with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake as a foul-mouthed educator in the film Bad Teacher.

Reese Witherspoon--$32 million

Witherspoon's face hasn't been seen on the big screen since Christmas 2008, when she starred with Vince Vaughn in Four Christmases. She'll return this holiday season with a new James Brooks comedy titled How Do You Know? co-starring Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.

Jennifer Aniston--$27 million

Box-office stinkers like Love Happens and The Bounty Hunter can't stop America's sweetheart. Aniston still gets tons of press attention and decent-sized upfront paydays for romantic comedies like Just Go With It, co-starring Adam Sandler. Aniston also earns from Friends re-runs and a lucrative deal with Glaceau Smartwater.

Sarah Jessica Parker--$25 million

Between the TV series and movie franchise, Sex and the City will keep Parker in Manolos for years to come. The actress also has a successful line of perfumes that brought in $24 million the U.S. in 2009. Parker is now helping to design clothes for fashion label Halston.

Julia Roberts--$20 million

Roberts is no longer the draw she was in the days of movies like Erin Brockovichand Runaway Bride. Instead she is focusing on more personal movies like Eat Pray Love, based on the bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert. Roberts will star opposite Tom Hanks for the second time in Larry Crowne, about a man reinventing himself.

Drew Barrymore--$15 million

Barrymore made her directorial debut in 2009 with the film Whip It. Unfortunately it didn't whip up much business at the box office, earning only $17 million globally. Still, Barrymore is working hard to build a career behind the camera. She was the executive producer on the successful film He's Just Not That Into You.

Angelina Jolie--$20 million

The mom of six is a constant tabloid presence with 38 magazine covers in the last 12 months. She also makes movies. Jolie lost some ground this year because she didn't have a new movie in our time frame. But she continues to cement her bankability with big thrillers like Salt and The Tourist, co-starring Johnny Depp.

Meryl Streep--$13 million

At 60 Streep is still big at the box office. She had two hits in 2009 with Julie & Julia and It's Complicated, which earned a collective $350 million at the global box office. She also earned a record 16th Oscar nomination for her work as chef Julia Child. The actress has no firm plans for her next film.

Kristen Stewart--$12 million

The 20-year-old Stewart is recognizable to teens around the world as Bella, the human caught between a vampire and a werewolf in the Twilight series. The movies have so far earned $1.6 billion at the box office and made Stewart a star. She stretched her wings this year with the rock biopic The Runaways, playing Joan Jett.

Beyonce Knowles Biography:

Born in Houston in the fall of 1981, Beyonci Giselle Knowles started performing at age seven. From dance classes to singing in the church choir, Beyonci was a natural.

She and cousin Kelly Rowland met Latavia Roberson during this time, and the trio formed a group with Letoya Luckett. Mathew Knowles, Beyonci's father and Rowland's legal guardian, signed on to be the girls' manager. This situation would ultimately lead to the formation of one of the most popular female RB groups of all time -- Destiny's Child.

Destiny's Child made its debut 1990 and within ten years, the vocal act had experienced personal and political highs and lows that fueled the group's desire to make it big.

Destiny's Child sold 33 million albums worldwide by 2002 and earned a slew of Grammys and additional music awards. "Jumpin' Jumpin'," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say My Name," and "Survivor" were smash hits, and the group appeared unstoppable.

In 2001, Beyonci, Rowland, and Michelle Williams allowed themselves a break from the singing group and tried their hands at individual solo careers. Before landing several movie roles, Beyonci became the first African-American female artist and second woman ever to win the annual ASCAP Pop Songwriter of the Year Award. An appearance in the MTV drama Carmen: A Hip Hopera quickly followed, but it was her role as Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember in 2002 that eventually moved Beyonci from the stage to the screen.

Her first single, "Work It Out," coincided with the release of the Mike Myers comedy and cemented her celebrity status. A guest spot on Jay-Z's "'03 Bonnie Clyde" was equally popular when it appeared in October.

In 2003, she rejoined Jay-Z for her proper debut single, the funkadelic "Crazy in Love," as the press and fans christened her a bona fide star. Beyonci's debut album, Dangerously in Love, which appeared in June 2003, featured collaborations with Sean Paul, Missy Elliott, and OutKast's Big Boi.

The multi-platinum album spawned a total of four Top Ten singles. Nearly two years after another Destiny's Child album (Destiny Fulfilled), Beyonci released her second album, B'day.

Scarlett Johansson Wallpapers Gallery

Scarlett Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is a U.S. actress and singer. Johansson made her film debut in the 1994 film North and was later nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance in 1996's Manny & Lo. Johansson rose to fame with her roles in 1998's The Horse Whisperer and 2001's Ghost World.

Unbelievable sex-doll. Slightly annoying girl, pretty face, not Helen of Troy beautiful, but just feminine and sexy to the max.

That’s it, it’s official. I’m declaring it. Scarlett Johansson is the sexiest woman on the planet.

Scarlett Johansson is amazing. She is talented, beautiful, and seems to have a wonderful sense of humor. Ryan Reynolds hit the jackpot when he married this gorgeous, classy woman. I’m in awe of her beauty.

Scarlett Johansson, I agree she is probably the most sexiest actress in Hollywood today. She is very lucky to have her curves as well as a lean body, and a stunning face.. her beauty marks, pretty eye brows, and a pretty smile. Yet she holds herself well, classy, and seems sweet. Any guy to have her would be a king!

Scarlett gained critical acclaim in her early teens for her roles in The Horse Whisperer in 1998, and Ghost World in 2001.
She received the first of three Golden Globe nominations for best actress for both Girl with a Pearl Earring and Lost in Translation, taking home a BAFTA for the latter.
More mainstream films followed with Scarlett appearing in The Other Boleyn Girl, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and The Spirit in 2008, followed by He's Just Not That Into You, in 2009.
The actress has modelled for famous designer brands Calvin Klein and Louis Vuitton, among others.
In May 2008, Scarlett debuted her first foray into the world of music with her album Anywhere I Lay My Head, which included cover versions of Tom Waits songs. A second album, Break Up, is scheduled for imminent release.

Scarlett has been romantically linked to numerous Hollywood men, including Benicio del Toro, Justin Timberlake; whose music video she appeared in, and Josh Hartnett. After dating for over a year Scarlett married Ryan Reynolds in September 2008.

“I don’t think it’s a natural instinct for human beings. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don’t think it applies to everybody, and I don’t think a lot of people can do it.”
However, Johansson insists she is among those who can resist the temptation to cheat: “I believe in finding a soul mate. I’ve always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It’d be too awful.”
So basically her view is that everyone else is not as evolved as she is?
Could she be any more self-righteous?

Scarlett Johansson's used tissue is to be auctioned for charity.
The actress, who was plagued by a terrible cold when she appeared on US TV talk show 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno', left behind the tissue and now network NBC have decided to sell it on website eBay to raise money for food-gathering charity USA Harvest.
The actress is not the only famous face to have an unusual personal item sold on eBay.
Britney Spears' hair clippings - which were collected after she shaved her head in 2007 - and an empty can of Red Bull she had drunk out of attracted bids of over £500,000, but the site removed them before the sale could be completed.
Angelina Jolie's hairbrush has also made it onto the site, as did Heath Ledger's costume from cowboy movie 'Brokeback Mountain'.
A billiard table where Jude Law allegedly got intimate with his nanny has also appeared, as has debris from Shia LaBeouf's car crash earlier this year.
In 2006, a piece of gum chewed by Jessica Simpson just before she filmed a kissing scene with Dane Cook for movie 'Employee of the Month' was listed.
