Reese Witherspoon is the highest paid actress in Hollywood, with an asking price between $15 and $20 million per picture. You know what this means: Jakey’s getting something good in his stocking this Christmas. Maybe a G.I. Joe action figure or a gift certificate to a day spa or something. What? He’s well-rounded.

In second place was Angelina Jolie, whose got the same asking price, but came in second because she *only* got a paltry $8 million for her supporting role in “Beowulf.” With all those kids, good thing Brad’s bringing in the bucks, too. I’d hate to think of them having to struggle through the holidays.

The rest of the Top Ten is as follows:

3. Cameron Diaz – $15 million; 4. Nicole Kidman – $10-15 million; 5. Renee Zellweger – $10-15 million; 6. Sandra Bullock – $10-15 million; 7. Julia Roberts – $10-15 million; 8. Drew Barrymore – $10-12 million; 9. Jodie Foster – $10-12 million; 10. Halle Berry – $10 million.

Sickenly, isn’t it?
