The Biggest Loser

Forbes has come out with their 2009 list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors. This year, Will Ferrell tops the list.

For every dollar Mr. Ferrell was paid, the movie earned $3.29. Not a big enough bang for the buck.

Now I like Ferrell, but he hasn't been in a decent movie since Elf and that was six years ago. Of course that's only my opinion, but there's no arguing that he hasn't been in a money maker since Talladega Nights and that was in 2006.

Last year's most overpaid actor winner was Nicole Kidman and she didn't even make the top ten this year! The reason? She didn't have a movie released in 2009.

Sad Indeed

There isn't confirmation as yet, but the most recent reports are that Natasha Richardson is brain dead and has been taken off life support in Lenox Hill Hospital, New York.

Life is a crap shoot and some of us get more crap than others. You can fall in your own bathroom and kill yourself.

Ms. Richardson's accident happened to take place on a beginner's slope right in front of a ski instructor. Unfortunately she wasn't wearing a helmet.

I am reminded of when Meredith Viera was ice skating at Rockefeller Center with Will Ferrell and he pulled her between his legs cracking her skull on the ice. That sent shivers up my spine at the time. I kept wondering if she was going to keel over after the incident. Thankfully she didn't.
