Angelina Jolie Out-earns Jennifer Aniston

Angelina Jolie may be a famous do-gooder and jet-setting parent, but she's also a butt-kicking actress who earned an estimated $27 million last year, making her the highest earning female celebrity in Forbes' list. Her film, Wanted, earned a whooping $341 million worldwide, and her next film, Salt, is already money in the bank because she gets a big upfront paycheck for playing a disgraced CIA agent.

Coincidences! Jennifer Aniston is a close second in Forbes' list, earning $25 million for her work in the $244 million romantic comedy Marley & Me and the upcoming comedy The Baster. And she's still earning money from Friends and for endorsing Glaceau's SmartWater.

These two rivals are followed by Meryl Streep and Sarah Jessica Parker, earning $24 million and $23 million, respectively.

Worst Reality TV Shows

Reality TV shows are hot these past few years. Viewers' tastes have evolved from the conventional writer-conceived story plots to dynamic, in-your-face, real and NOW, events that unfold in reality TV shows. Reality TV shows may be revolutionary, but there are bunches of them that, according to Entertainment Weekly, are really "scary bad.”

BRITNEY AND KEVIN: CHAOTIC began with a question to viewers: "Can you handle my truth?" Apparently not, since the reality TV show turned out to be blandly narcissistic, a great American love story that ended in divorce.

BOY MEETS BOY could have been groundbreaking with its same-sex dating concept, but turned out to be cruel, offensive, and boring. Why? It's not real when half of the participants just pretended to be gay.

SKATING WITH CELEBRITIES is a spin-off of Dancing With the Stars, and not in a good way.

WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE? ushered reality TV nuptials, but was resting on unreal grounds after all. The groom's net worth and background was questionable, so the bride annulled the union in less than two weeks.

New Miley Photos: "Oops, I Did It Again"

First the Vanity Fair magazine "racy" photos, then the "slanty eyes" photo brouhaha that offended some quarters of the American Asian community. Now here come a couple of Miley Cyrus pictures posted by 44-year-old filmmaker Adam Shankman, who produces Miley's new movie The Last Song, on Twitter that begs the question: "Is Miley Cyrus really as Disney-wholesome as she claims to be?"

The Sun reports that the first picture is of Miley sitting provocatively backwards in a chair, and the second is of Miley and Shankman together. Shankman defended the photos, saying: "Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly and is allowed to have fun in the make up room." He advises fans to "lighten up" over the photos. In both pictures, Miley Cyrus looks like a . . . grownup.

What's the big deal with Miley growing up, anyway? A whole lot, apparently, in the lucrative Disney Kingdom where kids are the subjects and Miley is the current ruling princess AND role-model.

Miley's "goofy" Kodak Moment and a Law Suit

When you're a famous teenager, a simple photo of you and your friends slanting your eyes can be considered a "racial insult" and could earn you a class suit. How's that again? As kooky as it sounds, Hannah Montana pop-princess Miley Cyrus was actually sued by Lucie Kim for insulting the Asian-Pacific Islander population in L.A. County, simply because she gestured THE gesture. Kim contested in her suit that Miley Cyrus should pay $4,000 for each Asian-Pacific Islander person that Cyrus inflicted with civil rights damages, totaling $4 billion if you counted the size of the ethnic mix of Asian and Asian-American people in the region.

Miley's legal team fired back with a testy challenge citing "equal access to public accommodations" and basically saying Cyrus did not discriminate and that Kim doesn't deserve payment for being offended.
