    Sarah Jessica Parker walks into a bar. Bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
    -----------------------------...
    “I really like her coat! She must eat a very well balanced diet considering how glossy it is. Just brushed, I’m guessing.”
    -----------------------------...
    “People getting sick of Sarah Jessica Parker horse jokes? Neigh!”
    -----------------------------...
    “It’s been several yearlings since people were saddled with having to sit through an episode of ‘Sex in the Filly‘ that people are starting to cry foal when Sarah Jessica Parker comes out with another movie where she plays the same character of Carrie Bridalshaw.”
    -----------------------------...
    President Barack Obama personally stepped forward to put an end to this madness, declaring a moratorium on all Sarah Jessica Parker horse jokes, as every single one has now been used. It will soon be a criminal offense to even think of a Sarah Jessica Parker joke as it will be considered disturbing the peace.

    LOL at people who say all these actresses are great besides Kristin Stewart. I mean come on! Sarah Jessica Parker is good? Hell no!

    Back to Kristin.
    You all are being really unfair by judging her only because of Twilight.
    Because I had seen her before Twilight in a few indie films and she wasn't that bad.

    I enjoy all of the jealous girls voting for Stewart on here. I bet none of them have seen her act in anything other than Twilight or the Snow White movie. She was awesome in Into the Wild.

    I feel that most entertainers get paid way too much. There are a few I have respect for Sandra Bullock Being top of the list. A real Classy Lady.

    All of them. But being more of a socialist I believe the common man should be paid more for his work so he can afford his/her needs and not have to watch a bunch of propaganda on television. It's all about people being fake anyway. Plus most of them don't have to work for it. They know or they are related to someone in the business so they get an easy in. I don't care how much actresses or actors make. I can more about what the general public isn't making. How suppressed they are. How controlled they are. How the rich are just wanting to control the masses. Ethos. What they are doing to contaminate the earth and our food and our water. Actors are just a mind numbing escape so people don't tend to taking care of themselves or the earth.

    So, we'll put a ring in your nose so the government can lead you around because you don't know any better. Move to Europe if you like socialism.

    I predict that once the Twilight Saga is over, her career will dwindle...at least one can hope. She has the personality of a stick.

    I always have thought that Julia Roberts was overrated, I think entertainers in general are overpaid, as evidenced by the cost of going to the theater or a concert. Yet I know that I still do it.

    That movie she was a hooker in, Pretty Women.
