    she has the lifeless eyes ever and the same weird body postures, obsessive hair flipping, lip bitting, really annoying and loud gasping and twitches.. not to mention that she blinks a lot... I saw her in all her movies.. she is not great.. she is the same in each and every just different make-up... if in some she looks digestable is because either the movie asked for a low emotive range person or because the movie people really tried.. the actors are suppose to adapt to the film not the film to them.. and about beauty... she is sort of pretty, a little bit more than the girl next door I suppose.. she is the hollywood type but still when no heavy make up and flattering lights are on her she look dull and boring.. maybe just because she lacks the charm that makes even ugly or really fat people to be just atractive or adorable.. she is charmless.

    all of the above!!!! seriously!!! I dont go to the movies any longer I just wait till they are super cheap then buy them or watch them...they work on a movie what 3 mos & bitch about how hard they work...give me a break...hard work is getting up every morning at 7 & working all day till 6 mon-fri...not getting to go on vaca every other week, but just one week a yr...anyway I just feel if more people boycotted the movie theaters then they would not get paid so much & maybe some of that money would actually go back into our economy & America wouldnt be soooo broke....just my opinion!!!

    I can't vote for someone I have never (and likely will never) see. Kristen's not my cup of tea. But I have seen Julia, Angelina and Sarah and I have see too much. Thank God for the remote control. Charlize is the only one I would say inhabited the character of the person she portrayed. Too much competition in this one!

    The others actually have talent to back up the amount they're getting paid. K. Stew, on the other hand, has the acting prowess of a sack of potatoes.

    If she's the highest paid, then she is definitely the most overpaid actress. I've seen her in a few movies. Can she express any emotion besides a pout? She almost smiled in one movie. I may not like every other actress on that list, but I do admit that every single one of them can act rings around Kristen Stewart.

    Honestly, people have to see around the world now. The market nowadays focused mostly on teenagers. And what young teenagers want to see is a young star but now old even though he/she is a very good actor. Of course, it depends on who is acting now.Kristen is okay for me as I watched her starred in Panic Room, she was great in that film.



    The reason that I choose Julia Roberts not because I dislike her, before choosing, I imagine if what you list on the above, they have movies launch at the same time, I will definitely kick out hers movies. I used to like her movies but since I watched her Larry Crowne, Valentine Day, Closer and so on, it is not interesting anymore. She can't attract me as well. Btw, I love Charlize Theron, and Angelina Jolie.

    Jodie Foster and Forrest Whittaker "starred" in Panic Room. Kristen Stewart just pretended she had low blood sugar the whole time- and based the rest of her acting on it

    I think maybe the only ones on the list whose movies are actually in the black are Stewart and Bullock. Possibly Jolie. That is the funny thing about Hollywood. How much the movie grosses does not mean it was successful. If it cost more to make and promote than it takes in then it was a failure even if it hit number one. That is why Clooney is the most overrated of all time. How many flops has he had, especially when you consider how much hype is given to his movies...
