I just finished watching "What happens in Vegas" starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. It was quite funny but not s'thing that you are going to remember 2 month's down the line. Then I remembered that I had read somewhere that Cameron Diaz was paid a whopping USD18mil for her starring role in the film. USD18mil!!!!! And all she did was smile that wonderful smile, appear in her undies for a little while and looked pretty! Hey, I know many girls who can and is willing to do that as well for a much lesser fee! You know who you are!!!!
And Ms Diaz is not even the highest paid actress in Tinseltown as Reese Witherspoon is rumoured to be getting USD22mil for her latest film. Actors like Tom Cruise are paid in the region of USD25m per movie. Some people have all the luck!
My question is : Do you think they deserve it? What about athletes like NBA star Lebron James(USD21m per season) or former F1 driver Michael Schumacher(USD80m for 18 races). Do u think they deserve them? I am thinking no. What abt u?

well LLT it's these people being good at what they do "apparently" is what garners them this kinda moolah ...
but then again them earning those mega sinful loads of moolah keeps you and me working till we drop dead to even get to the fraction of that dream :)
some of the time I think can we take their $$ and spend it for better causes ..like my bank account ahahha
LLT Dude,
You have to understand how much they make for their employers! A popular culture indeed. Well fuck the funding in fundamental/basic sciences/Med.Research/ Environment Conservation/Social Services ..etc! Everyone wants to be a celebrity nowdays(if not a WAG!) You make so much sense but then again.... all i can think of is this quote by Ecclesiastes:
--------
Vanity of Vanities, all is vanity and chasing of the wind. There is
nothing good under the sun, save for a man to be content in his work and to die.
M.
p/s: Like your new template!!
NO!
lol.. new template.. not bad! and it's red =)
Akuani and M : Yes, I know they probably make ten-fold for their employers. But isn't it just a little too much for an individual to earn when you look at the greater picture? Hundreds of millions are starving and living in poverty around the world and to see the wealth of the world so unfairly distributed........well, like I said some ppl have all d luck!
All : Am wondering in terms of templates, are we stuck with just the templates provided or can we get others from somewhere else?
LLT:
Dude!! It's almost impossible to shoulder the world's burden on sholders! We just make small changes ..like what you're doing now!!
Do take care, M.
Gosh!...read that again! must have been more smashed than i though! should have read : ..to sholder the world's burden!!(fullStop)
hahaha!
M.
google 'free blogspot template' or just 'blogger template' or anythin similar.. heaps of 'em
hey LLT dude,
what's happening with anuar dude sleepin' in the turkish embassy?? i worry! Damn he's been charged with buggering someone else now!! DAMN!...what else will they think of next. i worry! all hells gonna break loose!
btw, senorita,
how did you exams go?
M.
exams went pretty well..kinda anxious to get the results back.. don't know what's taking them so long
=)
Senorita : Thanks fer advice. Anxious to get results back cos u r expecting good results, aren't u? As fer me, always anxious as well, but only to see if I pass the dreaded 40 passing mark! That's d diff between smart ppl like u and M and normal ppl like me! haha!
Mohan : This Anwar thing came out of the blue over the weekend. The general consensus is that this is the govt's ploy to discredit him again. I wouldn't be shocked if it is true knowing how these SOB's! Yes, he is hiding in the Turkish embassy. Just waiting for hell to break loose now.
I can tell u one thing's that real : The economy and the people are suffering now b'cos these clowns are serving their own selfish greed rather than doing the job they were elected to do, that is serving d people!
on the Anwar thing boys, I think even the Govt. are not fools to play the same trick twice. that's playing right into Anwar's hands.
having said that, I firmly believe this is another Anwar ploy - that buggering enthusiast no doubt has more beans that some people care to give him.
there is never smoke without fire - have we not learnt this yet in the Malaysian context?
and perhaps, aside from hammering the obvious, one should speak with his peers back in his hey day ... trust me what you hear might erase all conspiracy theories. :))
Sorry, I never did like the bugger to begin ... and M if chaos is to break out - it's because it leaks out how much Turkish delight is being 'consumed' *evil evil cackle!*
Sorry LLT for the hijack here ... whatever happens you and me and the average Joe/Jane is screwed.
Have responded to akuani's thoughts on me blog.
Yes, I too have heard many "stories" bout Anwar's sexual orientation. Yes, it is a little disconcerting that he has such style & panache (just look at how he & samy pull off armani,ok?).
But really, do you really care if he takes it up the shitter? So fooking what?
Besides, the issue is that BN are using all the same fear tactics fer their own gain . . . again.
When will this stop?
ps: You are invited to share yer thoughts on this issue at me blog.
LLT dude:
This sinusodial economic thing is endemic to any society in curing social discontent, often revealing the basic ills of a so called 'demoratic' system where those in power actually have no power but are lobbied by their sins. (Think everyone there has been raised to their position and their pots of gold by some UMNo?BN fuck or rather... and now it's time to carry the balls of the fucker who put you there...Mahathir/Anuar/Badawi or even the weird Toyol!), and there's nothing different here or even in the US..just a little more sophisticated i suppose! Everyone's fucked! Looking for someone to blame. HA! the beauty of a free market system!!!
M.
p/s: perhaps the only thing we can do is take comfort that Torres scored to cream a crappy German side!
backtrack a lil'... on the subject of this post, u've got to give it to the power of marketing... these people earn so much because of their names being their brandname.. they're successful in selling themselves to the world, hence the amount of money cashed in every year...
ur example of any girl would do just what Cameron Diaz did and for far lesser pay, yes many would kill for that.. but only problem is they are all not Cameron Diaz
cheers!
on whether they're worth it.... unfortunately this is not a fair world that we're living in...
=)
Senorita:...:
You are so right! but then again they're not gonna put me mum in a lead role in one of those movies.:). Well,C.Diaz is a major babe and she got to that position because we fucking male apes get a hard on everytime we see her(or try our best to hide it). Something like a freeMarket dominated by male orgasms! Then again it's no different with the female species!
These ppl. are gifted, talented and work their way up and deal with some form of adversity or rather...look at Amy Winehouse!
M.
p/s: A salute to major babes in the movies(and to make us more shallow as ever!)....long live Hollywood!!(something to keep us occupied when we can't have sex!)
I just can't wait to see how this saga develops. Police raids Turkish embassy causing tension between both countries? Someone tries to assasinate AI as claimed by none other than himself? Or is there another twist to it? Soap operalah!
Senorita : Agreed w u that these people are super-talented, good-looking, have talents of super-beings etc. They have all the rights to maximise their commercial gains thru their god-given talents. It's just difficult to fathom such extremes when there are people elsewhere who can't have basic necessities like clean water to survive!
Mohan : You have this fantastic talent of somehow diverting whatever topic i write abt into PG-18 territory don u? Maybe you could use this "Talent" to earn millions! Haha.....
LLT: Mohan can write PG-18, and I'll add a dash of feigned apathy and appalling disinterest (am real good at it I'm told) and indeed seeing what's coming out to us these days - there's a slim chance we can all share in some well needed moolah!
M: get that writing pad out dude ... time to make us a blockbuster! Is Ang Lee good enough to handle this or Night Shyamalan too??? and a dash of tolly/kolly/molly/bollywood?
Akuani : You guys do all the work and I'll collect my 30% share of the moolah. Why u ask? B'cos I got that lightbulb in your head to light up!
Of course I will also do the QC when you guys are auditioning for the lead actress. See, I m doing more than I shd!
It's truly very difficult in this full of activity life to listen news on Television, thus I only use the web for that purpose, and take the most up-to-date information.
