    She just have that look like she's in pain all the time which is a turnoff, she seem too much from the dark side like she can't let go of her characters she play. She's too gothic in her persona and people notice this right off the bat; I mean r e a l l y" she seem so lifeless, look at her.
    All the other actresses have charisma and box office staying power and are perfect seasoned actresses. Would love to see more movies by these actors.

    Seriously. Other than a fan base handed to her in the form o the Twilight series, what in the name of Marilyn Monroe has this child done to deserve being paid this exorbitant amount of $$?? She is NOT that attractive in comparison to other actresses. Her skills equal those of David Carusoe (who has two expressions...glasses on and glasses off). And her appearance in Snow White and the Huntsman was totally forgettable.

    NO!! I meant to say Kristen Stewart....

    Twilight Saga sucked in large part because Kristen Stewart was a terrible actress, there is no authenticity in her acting (if you can call it that).

    Twilight Saga sucked because the books themselves were poorly written. The script was even worse. Watch some of her other roles.

    Frankly, she's not that good. Or interesting to look at. And she only became a big-earner because of Twilight, which was also very bad.

    I saw her on live with kelly'
    She is a sourpuss" sorry still didn't turn me on to her personality. She kept her tones as if she was one up on Kelly Rippa.
    Maybe it has a lot to do with her dark hair color, because some people adjust everything about their personality accordingly to their hair color; women do that a lot just ask hairstylist in salons about attitude changes when a female or woman change their hair color.

    One expression - no animation in her voice. She's totally inarticulate giving interviews, and she is the most passionless creature I have ever seen. She ruined the Twilight movies as far as I'm concerned. The only thing good I can say is that the wedding dress she wore in that movie was the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen. But that had nothing to do with her. All she had to do was put one foot in front of the other and bite her lip now and then. Biting the lip is her way of acting anxious. Worst actress in Hollywood.

    Really? She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011. She promotes humanitarian causes, and is noted for her work with refugees as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). AND, she has been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman, a title for which she has received substantial media attention. You win awards at that level, you get to make the big bucks.....

    Which actress are you referring to about awards? I hope its Sandra Bullock you talkin' about.
  • bags th... barby k... 2012/06/20 20:42:12
    bags the Indigenous Guru
    Uh...no. Ms.Bullock was awarded a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, and the Academy Award for Best Actress, for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side. She is listed in the 2012 edition of the Guinness Book Of World Records as the highest-paid actress, with $56 million.

    I was referring to Angelina Jolie.

    Interesting how Bullock is listed by Guinness as being the highest paid for 2012, eh?

    Interesting' thanks for clarifying info for me.
    I love the work of both sandra and angelina jolie, angie more so' because she does her own stunts which is a bonus on her resume'
    Loved sandy in her first movie speed and her clean cut image as an actress.
    She's the real "miss congeniality"

    ...yet there is NO emotion she can show. Jolie has charisma, i won't argue with that.. but her face never changes.. the only expression i can see on it is self-absorption ,she plays diva in all her movies. you can not inherit talent or borrow it from husband. this is just my opinion, don't be mad at me:)
  • bags th... Rob all... 2012/06/21 03:08:39
    bags the Indigenous Guru
    LOL....not mad at you. It's your opinion! I think she has a bit more range than that. She wasn't a diva in The Tourist, at least I didn't think do. Or in Bone Collector or Pushing Tin. No, she's not into comedy (unless it's a voice to animation). And borrow it from her husband? ROFL! He's won far fewer awards than she....and gets paid less too.

    Ahhhh' but angie has that magic it factor and we all know it, don't hate on her"
    To prove it; remember that stance with split in her lower dress and the leg that got. Its own twitter account the day after"
    That's a diva with power. KS' is just plain depressing or she using her pokeface to avoid intermingling with the young teenage fansbase she has. Sorry guys, but she is depressing; even to look at.
