Starring in the "Twilight" series has been both a blessing and a curse for Kristen Stewart. On the negative side, the series has plenty of critics and the paparazzi have been less than kind. On the positive side, she's friggin' loaded. In fact, at 22 years old she's the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. According to Forbes, she earned $34.5 million in the last year. We listed the seven highest-paid actresses and asked the public to pick the most overpaid.
Kristen Stewart
Just as you might expect, Kristen Stewart was voted the most overpaid actress by far. Not only is she the highest-paid, but the majority of her income is from "Twilight." The series sells, but a lot of people question Stephanie Meyer's achievements, as well as Stewart's acting ability. Her acting in the first movie was the butt of every joke for a while. To be fair, Jodie Foster thinks she's great...
Sarah Jessica Parker
Stewart was so far ahead of (behind?) the competition that the rest of the choices were all within 12% of each other. But with that in mind, Sarah Jessica Parker took second-place. This year, Parker's income came from poorly received romcoms, "I Don't Know How She Does It" and "New Year's Eve." Men were especially hostile toward her paycheck.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz was the first actress on this list that wasn't extremely predictable, and the first one who wasn't especially affected by any one demographic. There was a time Diaz might have received fewer votes, in the days of "Being John Malkovich," "Shrek," and "Vanilla Sky." But her most recent films -- "Bad Teacher" and "What to Expect When You're Expecting" -- are nothing to write home to.

+5Sarah Jessica Parker is the most overpaid in this list, hands down. Not that it matters much. I see this as light fun, but some ppl here are going to take this extremely serious. The question that I would find more crucial is, "What are they doing with their money?". Yea, it's their money, but I'm 1/2 afraid I would vomit & bash my own head in if I found out what any of them did with most of their money. >_<
Second thing: Her fame in Twilight and Snow White and the Huntsman is clearly not because of her merit.
She had a luck that she made it out in that big hit movies, and her co-workers made it all happen.Charlize Theron?! Taylor Launter, Ashley Green, Nikki Reed or Kellen Lutz? Can you see the point? That's why she is overpaid-because of the fame of her movies, or should I sat the acting level of her co-workers.
