 Thought since I haven't posted in FOREVER.....and need to start something up.....

10. Cate Blanchett

Sneaking into the top 10, Blanchett is better known for raking in Oscars than big box-office returns.

9. Will Ferrell

After a string of hits, Ferrell's value started to slip with his dramatic in "Stranger Than Fiction" in 2006, which grossed only $1.63 for every dollar Ferrell was paid.

8. Drew Barrymore

Does Drew need another call from Charlie? Her last movie, "Lucky You," grossed just $8 million.

7. Nicolas Cage

Cage helped "National Treasure" pull in $456 million, but his next flick, appropriately titled "Next," lost 50 cents for every dollar he was paid, according to Forbes.

6. Jim Carrey

Carrey's much-maligned "The Number 23" didn't register with enough viewers (or critics) to warrant his high salary.

5. Jennifer Lopez

Even before Lopez’s baby-making break this past year, her box-office returns were struggling. For every dollar she was paid, Lopez's movies averaged $4.10 of gross income.

4. Cameron Diaz

There certainly used to be something about Cameron, but these days she hasn't been worth her hefty price tag with films returning a lowly $4 for every dollar she earned.

3. Tom Cruise

Has Cruise lost his mojo? Forbes reports that his last three starring-movies averaged $4 in revenue for every dollar he made.

2. Jennifer Garner

Garner landed in the second spot with box-office flops "Catch and Release" and "The Kingdom." For every dollar she was paid, Garner's movies averaged $3.60 of gross income.

1. Nicole Kidman

Kidman's smash "The Golden Compass" didn't make up for her starring role in "The Invasion," which lost $2.68 for every dollar she made, according to Forbes.

 Will Ferrell's movies have always been terrible. It's impossible to enjoy them sober. People can only stand watching him be an idiot so many times before it gets boring.
