They are way,way, overpaid...and if that wasn't enough let's not forget the swag they get, which means all the gift bags they get for either walking down a red carpet, presenting an award, showing up at a party, and these gift bags are worth thousands, and thousands of dollars...they are filled with stuff that the celebraties themseleves could afford.
And now there are actually some celebraties that are ccomplaining because the IRS is going to start cracking down on these gift bags and make sure that the stars are paying the taxes on them like they are supposed to. They are seiously bitching because they are being asked to pay taxes like us in the real world have to. I won a brand new jeep cherokee from a radio station by kissing the suv for the longest period of time (3 days) and I didn't even make it off the parking lot before they were telling me where and how long I had to pay the taxes on my prize.
And if that wasn't enough they use there star status to to make aware and raise money for all these 3rd world countries sick and poor and trust me I'm all for that, but every once in awhile they should remember that we have our very own sick and hungry kids, adults and famliles right here in the USA...
I just don't get it either...

Yes, they are overpaid. But then again, once they are "famous", they have no life. Everywhere they go, they are recognized, hounded, and bothered.
There isn't enough money on the planet to compensate me for my privacy. But maybe if the movie companies didn't pay them so much, a family could afford to go to a movie?!

Yes they are. Same with athletes they are both overpaid. I think the people who risk there lives for us everyday to keep us safe should make more money. For example, firefighters, police officers, and all the Americans in Iraq right now. Bless all of them risking their lives over in Iraq for our freedom.

Yes, they are over paid. I don't know why but it is a sad state of affairs when a person can make a few million to many millions of dollar to act, but we cannot feed or get medical care for the people that live here.

Some of them are grossly overpaid. (Like Tom Cruise.)
I don't understand it either- they're getting paid absurd amounts of money to play pretend.
