I understand that the economics of Hollywood is different from any reality or parallel universe. Julia Roberts $25 MIllion a pop, Mel Gibson, another $25 Million a pop, plus there are perks (assistants, stylists, etc). But Brittany Murphy getting $4 million for her next film? All I have to say is that she has a fucking awesome agent to sell that bag of goods. Plus Hollywood producers are fucking stupid.
Some more Hollywood salaries.
