Reese Witherspoon Named Highest Paid Actress This Year

The newest issue of The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed Reese Witherspoon as the highest paid actress in its annual listing. Despite her latest release, "Rendition," being a bust, the 31-year-old Academy Award winner earns $15-20 million per movie.

Angelina Jolie followed closely behind with similar earnings, although she earned much less in her latest film. The animated "Beowulf" role only paid her $8 million.

Cameron Diaz came in third, with a $15 million salary command, and Nicole Kidman followed in fourth. Kidman dropped two spots from last year with an asking salary of $10-15 million a film.

Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock also earn $10-15 million a job, and so does Julia Roberts whose next feature, "Charlie Wilson's War," is her first in three years.

The top ten also includes Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster, who command $10-12 million per project, and Halle Berry who earns $10 million a movie.

The list is featured in The Hollywood Reporter's "Women in Entertainment: Power 100" issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
