>     Demi Moore will get a reported 12.5 million for her upcoming role in
>     one of her new movies "Strip Tease"  !!!

	Old news (by about 2 1/2 weeks), see note 179.27.

ps: to be fair, Entertainment Weekly was probably slow because they only
    published one double issue prior to the most recent issue

    Demi Moore is not a good actress.  She is a good movie star.

    All I know is that her next role is in the Hollywood version of "The
    Scarlet Letter."  This being Hollywood, they've decided to change the
    ending.  There is no way I am going to see it.

    No, she's a good actress.

    In note 179.27 it was "supposedly" will get 12M  
    its a done deal now

    
    Sure, she'll get $12 M.  But on the downside, they'll be paying her all
    in ones.  :^)

    if demi is worth $12 million, it would put sandra bullock in the 
    $1 billion range..8^)

    I like Sandra Bullock but there is no comparison...Demi has
    been in quite a few ^major films and is an accomplished actress
    
    Sandra *might* get there but is not there yet.....

    Demi is not an accomplished actress, she's an accomplished movie star.

> Demi is not an accomplished actress, she's an accomplished movie star.

	DeJa Vu!  I thought this was a repost of your .2 reply, but
	I see it's not exactly the same, only similiar theme.

    Well, there's a difference and Ms. Moore doesn't act well.  She makes a lot
    of money for the studios and she can "play certain parts", but she is
    not a good actor.                                         

    what's she do to her bust from film to film ? it seems very variable or
    do the continuity people get the body doubles wrong ?

    	Maybe she's experimenting with duct tapes of varying strength.
    
    	8^)
    

    duct, duct, goose!

    Having 2 (or is it 3 now?) kids might also be a factor....

    Rumor has it that Ms. Moore has had implants.

    I have to say this - I am SICK of all the fuss about Demi Moore!
    What's so great about her compared to other actresses?  Enough is
    enough.  Yeah - her movies are okay and I did like her in some - but
    I am sick of her on the cover of magazines, etc.
    
    - Nancy

    
    	She's gorgeous ... and that's good enough for me.
    

    
         ...but tastes vary.  She's barely "pretty" to me.

    who is Sandra Bullock?
    
    ric

    
    	The "Speed" girl.
    
    	And "Love Potion Number 9" and that Stallone/Snipes futuristic
    	movie that came out last year.
    

    "Demolition Man"

    Demi Moore is the most over-paid woman in the world(along with Oprah
    Winfrey(Sp)),she is a terrible actress and the only thing good about
    her is she's got a nice set of jugs. IMHO I think Hollywood is the
    biggest scam in history- How can you pay more to untalented crap
    like demi moore than you would for some real talented actresses:-
    Sigourney Weaver.The same goes for that other idiot Tom Cruise - when
    you compare his acting skills to someone like Daniel Day Lewis/ Anthony
    Hopkins/ Ralph Fiennes / Liam Neeson / Brad Pitt / Ben Kingsley etc...
    it makes you wonder if the director wants to make a good convincing
    Movie or too make sure that he coins the moneys back in wooing naive
    teenagers -too much of this goes on nowadays and that is why only
    a few good films get made annually.
    
    

Re: .24

	Welcome to the Western world.  It's called the free market of
	supply & demand capitalism.

	Ie. more consumers are willing to pay money to see Ms. Moore
	than Ms. Weaver.

	And talent, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder ....

    Re: .24 - "she's got a nice set of jugs"
    
    Which are not original equipment.  See "Blame in on Rio" for a
    younger Demi in the buff and considerably less endowed.

	I personally prefer the pre-silicon Demi myself (then again,
	I don't care for large breasts in general :-)

    If Diane Warwick (sp?) can make a million a month for her psych business, 
    Nobody is overpaid.

  Demi Moore is not overpaid, rather money is over rated as an indicator of
talent.

Did anyone see the Barbara Walters/Demi Moore interview just before the 
Academy Awards show?  Why does Demi seem to be angry -- in the same breath
as acknowledging that she is the highest paid actress in the world ($12 
million for Striptease).

Not sure if I agree with her advice that "everyone" needs to be experience
being a stripper.

  Intense. Not angry, intense.

  George

    I happen to agree that Demi is not as good as an actor as some of the
    women out there.
    
    She also seems to have the same sort of rolls.  The vunerable women who
    needs a hand somehow from someone.  I would like to see her in a
    thriller and see if she could pull off being a serial killer. :)
    
    I am also alittle sick of her "I have a great body".  She has had alot
    more than one surgery to enhance her, ahem, womenly figure.  Sure, she
    has a massure', a personal weight trainer, a personal yoga instructor,
    a personal aerobic instructor and over $50,000 worth of equipment but
    to be flaunting it as she has only shows the women is more shallow then
    the more humble and underpaid actresses in the field today.
    
    If you ask me, (and I know that no one did) I believe that Striptease
    is going to gross alot of money but it will take alot of time because
    after her bad publicity alot of people will not want to see it.  That
    is really too bad too because I heard that the book is very funny and
    if the advertising/marketing played on the comical side of this money
    (well I guess they did but didn't count on Demi's personal advertising)
    this movie could of done alot better than it will probably do.
    
    What's the deal with her bald head now?  The magazine's at the checkout
    counters in your local grocery stores are having a field day saying she
    joined a cult! :)

    Demi's bald head has to do w/her doing a new movie called G.I. Jane
