Movie Reviews and Previews A handy list of actors who think you’re stupid That’s what Forbes should have called their list of “Hollywood’s most overpaid stars”.

Tom Cruise Tom and Denzel As I mentioned several weeks ago, due to the success of Valkyrie, Tom Cruise’s meeting schedule suddenly stacked up quickly… And now, it’s paid off.

Denzel Washington Denzel and Long Leather Oprah When Oprah likes you…No, when Oprah LOVES you…she throws her full might behind whatever it is that you’re selling, leading her lambs to your project and guaranteeing smash hit success.

Denzel Washington Later Gaycist Too late I think and the karma took its toll. Explanation: Isaiah Washington finally fired from Grey’s Anatomy for being a dickhead but only after the show f*ckin’ sucked ass in its third season. Word is, Shonda Rhimes fought hard to keep him.

Nicole Kidman Best Bond I’m sorry…been a little slow on the draw today – still haven’t slept, still wrapping up today’s show for eTalk, and have just been assigned to one more day in LA. Perhaps I’ll run into Orly again at the crack of dawn in the Roosevelt lobby? By Lainey • Feb 26, 2007 07:00 am
