President Barack Obama’s latest fundraising report resembles an A-list of Hollywood stars, with donations from some of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Among the more than 550,000 donors to the president’s 2012 reelection bid were big-name movie stars including actors George Clooney, Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, Michael Keaton, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg and his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, also gave to the 2012 campaign, according to the latest Federal Election Commission report. Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow both contributed under their married names —Affleck and Martin, respectively.

And I don’t care how great these people are as actors or how wonderfully the movies they are in turn out to be, I do not go to the flicker box nor will I rent those movies..not one cent of my hard earned pennies will go to their lavish elite lifestyle.
The casting of Tom Hanks in Larry Crowne was ridiculous. Tom is 55, he looks at least that and was never too attractive to begin with.

Steven Spielberg, estimated 2010 earnings: $80 million
I think he can spare your and my own dimes.

Similar stories for the rest. After a certain point, compound interest makes you totally independent from anyone else’s approval.
Of course Michael Douglas will be dead shortly. I suspect his widow will find more interesting ways to burn though her hard-earned inheritance.
funny thing is that Hollywood is always moving productions in an effort to find the best tax credits/breaks
