According to Forbes.com, where rich businessmen gather to discuss how good lying feels, Nicole Kidman was the most overpaid actress in Hollywood last year. On average, Kidman's films earned just one dollar for every dollar she was paid; The Invasion actually lost almost $3 for every dollar in Kidman's salary.
A reminder: a schoolteacher, police officer or AIDS researcher would probably find it difficult to get work if they failed so majorly so consistently.

Last night was the LA premiere of James Franco and Seth Rogen's weed-filled Pineapple Express, which attracted a vast array of celebrities. Nobody quite knows for sure how Adrianne Curry was invited, but those in attendance were graced with the presence of Kanye West and his odd shoes. You win some, you lose some.

Britney Spears showed up to the Generation Rescue event hosted by Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy to make her first red carpet appearance since having her meltdown back in January. We have to hand it to her — she looks semi-decent and appears to have bathed and put a little thought into her outfit. The hair still needs some help, but Ken Paves will work his magic in due time. He is only one man, after all.
• The most annoying reality show phrase in the history of television. [DListed]
• Amy Winehouse finally admits she took heroin while in rehab. Good to know she's taking her health and recovery seriously. [ICYDK]

• Suri Cruise is starting to sprout her Scientology antenna. [PS]
In Touch picked up on sister mag Life & Style's Suri Cruise obsession this week with stalker photos and insider details surrounding the tot's birthday party.
Tom Cruise reportedly spent $100,000 on the extravaganza, which is so ridiculous we don't even need to say anything about it. The cost included $17,000 for fresh flowers, $45,000 on catering and $5,000 for cakes. But these weren't just any pastries: Each guest received a personalized cake and Suri was treated to a four-tier cake covered in buttercream frosting, bumblebees and butterflies. Oh, and Katie received $230 worth of Sprinkles cupcakes. Who knew she ate?
The celebration continued into the evening when Tom and Katie invited their own friends — including Eva Longoria Parker, David and Victoria Beckham, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy — to a private bash. Because we're sure that was on Suri's wishlist.
It's a good thing they pulled out all the stops for this milestone birthday, seeing as how Suri likely had already forgotten about it by breakfast.

All hell broke loose at the Horton Hears A Who! premiere Saturday in LA. The movie's tag line — "After all, a person is a person, no matter how small" — attracted a mob of pro-life protesters. Because if there's anyone who needs to quit with the abortions, it's kids under the age of 10.
Jason Wahler then showed up on the red carpet, presumably as a "pro-choice" argument.

Last night David and Victoria Beckham and dozens of notable names in Hollywood converged on the Geffen Gallery at LA's Museum of Contemporary Art in order to celebrate the British couple's arrival to the states. Dubbed their official "Welcome to LA" party, the even was co-hosted by actors Will Smith and Tom Cruise. Insiders who attended the event said it was a perfect way to welcome the Beckhams to the city they'll now call home, as it was grandiose, wasteful and painfully uninventive.

As reported in Page Six, in a recent interview with Time, Jim Carrey admits that his career is on the outs, while also claiming that Tom Cruise was "the big joke" of last year.
Jim Carrey isn't a $20 million-a-movie man anymore. "I don't want to pick scripts just to keep me in the status-phere. You have to take the plunge to expose your true self," the rubber-faced funnyman tells Time. After several comedy duds, Carrey has turned to horror with "The Number 23," a low-budget shocker about a man consumed with numerology. He also admits his reputation may be taking a dive: "Everyone gets to be the big joke for a year. That's this business. Last year it was Tom Cruise.
Jim, you went to the guy's wedding last year, so you can't go around calling him "the big joke" of 2006, even if it's the truth. That means that you thought he was a big joke even while watching him take his vows. See how that might come off badly? You're gonna pay for this one. Don't you know he's Jesus of the aliens?

Soo, what Jim Carrey was saying is that he was planning on raping a few strangers on New Years 2000? Er, wonder how that went. Awwwwkwaarrddd.
Or perhaps they're more into Carrey/McCarthy Ice Dancing Vancouver 2010. Canadian team? Either way, the hair still looks good.
Yeah, that's all I've got.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy (the most pretty haired couple in aaaallllll of Hollywood) arrived in Rome to attend the wedding event of the year. Am I the only one who sort of loves these two together? They just kind of make me feel fuzzy inside (okay, I have a semi-problematic obsession with Jim Carrey). Man, the seating chart for the TomKat wedding reception must be a bitch. Do you put Jim and Jenny with the Beckhams because they'd probably have a gas? What about Jada Pinkett Smith? Wouldn't she just throw off the whole fun dynamic of the table. And where, dear god, do you put Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, cause lord knows he sucks the life right out of some good banter.
