Los Angeles: Drew Barrymore has been named the most overpaid actor in Hollywood by Forbes magazine.

Barrymore tops Forbes 2011 list of Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actors list with a return average of 40 percent for every dollar movie studios spend on her.

The 36-year-old’s films have failed to rake in moolah at the box office in the past five years. “Everybody’s Fine” earned only $16 million globally and “Lucky You” brought in only $8 million.

The second position went to Eddie Murphy. He returns $2.70 for every dollar spent on him. Will Farrell is at the third position with a return average of $3.50.

Reese Witherspoon and Denzel Washington wrapped up the top five with return averages of $3.55 and $4.25 repectively. (IANS)

Janet Super Bowl ‘boob show’ fine dropped

London: A federal appeals court in Philadelphia has ordered that US TV network CBS should not be fined for airing a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s breast during the Super Bowl half-time show in 2004.

Justin Timberlake had pulled down part of Jackson’s top, which revealed part of her breast during their half-time performance at the Super Bowl.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had appealed to the US Supreme Court in 2008 to force the TV network to pay a fine of 550,000 dollars for violating a previously unannounced policy, which the court ruled was imposed improperly.

The incident generated a record number of more than 500,000 complaints, the BBC reported.

Timberlake blamed the exposure on a “wardrobe malfunction”, while Jackson said it was an accident. (ANI)
