Jennifer Lopez:</span> La Lopez’s popularity seems to be inversely proportional to the number of times she marries. Dating Ben Affleck and starring opposite him in movies (Gigli, Jersey Girl) are the main causes for her plunging the popularity charts and her low pay packet ($ 11.6 million). <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section2"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></div> <div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="52.0%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/955659.cms" alt="/photo/955659.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">9.

Seems like her ability to lose and gain weight easily and her Academy Award (Oscar for the uninitiated), the <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bridget Jones</span> star does not impress many and carries home a mere $ 11.6 million. Perhaps the sequel, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason</span> will do her some good for next year.<br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section3"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></div> <div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="58.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/955660.cms" alt="/photo/955660.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">8.

Still waiting to make noise at the box office after <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Two Weeks Notice</span>, she takes home $ 13 million. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section5"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></div> <div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="56.4%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/955662.cms" alt="/photo/955662.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">6. Halle Berry:</span> Neither her <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Monster’s Ball</span> Oscar, nor her place in People mag’s 50 Most Beautiful People could salvage her feline charms in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Catwoman</span>. Her preternatural stint with <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Gothika</span> too was a disappointment. She should hope that her forthcoming movies (none in 2004) will up her market value from its current $ 14 million. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section6"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></div> <div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="54.8%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/955663.cms" alt="/photo/955663.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">5. Drew Barrymore:</span> Hollywood’s wild child, her <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">50 First Dates</span> with looney-m,an Adam Sandler was well-liked. Perhaps the reason why she charges $ 15 million per film. It was her personal request to Demi Moore that got the senior actress to agree to star in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Charlie’s Angel: Full Throttle</span>, that nose-dived at the box office globally. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section7"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></div> <div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="70.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/955664.cms" alt="/photo/955664.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">4.

However, her no-show status has neither daunted her from charging $ 15 million per film nor has it stopped directors from the world-over from wanting to work with her.

The lady with more wattage per smile is supposedly the most successful actress of recent time and charges $ 20 million per flick. </div> </div>
