The best one on your list is Charlize Theron who is brilliant to every role she plays - even the really bad movies.
What I consider overpaid is getting paid a lot, when you do nothing.
1: Kristen Stewart has done a lot of hit movies in the past couple years.
2: Cameron Diaz has done some.
3: So has Sandra Bullock.
4: Angelina, did some nice movies a while ago, that were awesome at the time.
5: Charlize Theron (I love her name) was awesome in Snow White & The Huntsman.
6: S.J.P. still has Sex & the City.
7: Julia Roberts, to be honest, has flopped. The only thing I can even remember about her is Pretty Woman, and I never even saw it! She's done like nothing. I never heard a good thing about Mirror Mirror. And as if I was going to skip SW&H; and see that! Are you kidding me. They didn't even have short dwarves, like, WTF?! To me, they pay her a lot more than even necessary.
You've clearly never heard of or seen My bestfriend's Wedding, Mona Lisa Smile, Stepmom, Runaway Bride, Conspiracy Theory, Notting Hill, Sleeping with the Enemy, The Pelican Brief, Something to talk about, Erin Brockovich, Eat pray love, etc. All of which are awesome movies and she did a far better job in them than K-Stew ever did in anything she's starred in.
Are you sure? Have you even seen any of her movies? She did great in Speak, The Messengers, Into the Wild, Welcome to the Riley's, Adventureland, The Runaways, Catch that Kid, In the Land of Women, The Yellow Handkerchief, (obviously) Snow White and The Huntsman. Have you even seen any of the actual Twilight movies?
But yeah, let's agree to disagree.
Personally I think ALL actors are over paid. They are entertainers, not heros
She has a great sense of humor and most people don't get standing ovations unless they are revolutionaries or inspiring. She's just an actor. They are overpaid, just like athletes and government officials. That's not going to change anytime soon.
I can understand if you don't like her, but she's hot.
