Cameron Diaz named world’s highest paid actress

London (AP) _ Cameron Diaz is the world’s highest paid actress, snatching the title from previous winner Julia Roberts, Guinness World Records said.

Diaz is listed the biggest earner in the 2004 edition of the group’s record book, based on earnings of 26.7 million pounds (US$42.2 million) in 2001.

Roberts was listed the world’s highest paid actress in 2003 and 2002, based on her 2000 earnings of 13.4 million pounds (US$21.2 million) _ substantially less than Diaz.

The reported earnings of Diaz, the blonde star of 2003 action flick “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and the gross-out 1998 comedy “Something About Mary,” are approaching the pay given to male actors in Hollywood.

The Guinness World Records Book lists Adam Sandler as the world’s highest paid actor, based on a salary of 31.3 million pounds (US$49.5 million) in 2001.

But Sandler’s winning pay packet pales in comparison to the 46.8 million pounds (US$73.9 million) earned in 2000. by Bruce Willis, giving him the 2003 title.

If I had that much money… well, I wouldn’t know what to do with it. How about you?

BakaElf: This wasn’t really the question, but….what kinna anime do you like? *hearts anime too*
Hmm… I especially adore Gundam Wing and among my favorites are Neon Genesis Evangelion, Rurouni Kenshin, Ah! My Goddess, and some others.

BakaElf: What’s your layout pic from? Is that a monk? (Monks rock!) and…oh crap, I forget the last question….
lol. I got the layout pic from BoyIs.com. I don’t know if she’s uh, a monk but I loved the pic. The song featured is entitled “Angels Would Fall.” My cousin tells me it’s from an anime series too.
