As 2008 inches closer, the celebrity lists of 2007 just keep on coming. The numbers are in and Reese Witherspoon was the top earning actress of the past year, with Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz right behind her. Nicole Kidman dropped from #1 down to #4 and Renée Zellweger rounded out the top five, dropping two spots from last year. Reese's latest movie Rendition wasn't exactly a blockbuster, but she's still raking in a huge $15–$20 million per film. Looks like this was a great year for Reese in both her career and her personal life.

To see what other ladies made the list just read more

1. Reese Witherspoon
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Cameron Diaz
4. Nicole Kidman
5. Renée Zellweger
6. Sandra Bullock
7. Julia Roberts
8. Drew Barrymore
9. Jodie Foster
10. Halle Berry

    I'm glad Reese is the top earner. I love her and have enjoyed all of her movies. Nicole on the other hand, I can't stand her and most of her movies have been flops so i don't understand why she was #1.

    I like Reese, but i still dont see her meriting this much money for her films. They arent exactly blockbusters. As for Sandra Bullock...what the heck has she done lately? I thought she had fallen off the movie-making wagon to live the married life.

    Wow. None of my favorite actresses are on the list. And I feel like I might be in the minority here, but I don't think ANY of them should be making that much money. They're not that talented by any means and their movies, more than not, are bad. Give me Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet any day.

    Didnt studios mainly Fox and Warner Bros. said this year they are not hiring too much actresses are leads because no one watches their movies. Actors have box office glory more than this women.
    What a joke this is. With WGA and so much changes going on this women's paycheck will decline. I even dont want a deal for this WGA strike people little people know these writers are so greedy.
    Its the little crew that suffers with no jobs like the makeup artists,hairstylists etc....

    Didnt Fox and WB issued statements this year not to hire much actresses as leads because their movies are flops? Studios noticed ppl flock more to actors movies than the women.Hmmmm.
    This is a joke and I even dont want a deal with the WGA because this writers are greedy.People dont know they make lots of money and pity the low end crew that really suffers and are jobless right now due to the strike like the makeup artists,hairdressers etc...

    Reese Witherspoon is sooooo not worth $20 million.

    Cate Blanchett should be number 1. In that list, only Angelina Jolie and Renee Zellwegger can hold a candle to her.

    THEY ARE ALL OVERRATED. NO actress/actor is worth $20 million. i don't think any deserve to be paid $1 million either.

    I don't think any of these actresses in the top 5 deserve it. I rarely ever like anything they are even in. OMG....Cameron Diaz....I didn't even know any of her movies other than There's Something About Mary were a success!

    While Reese is a sweet girl and a talented actress, and I'm a fan of 3 of the 5 pictured (BARF to Diaz and Zellweger), none of these women "deserves" $20 million.

    One woman of color or race other than caucasian and she's at the end of the list. And one of the only oscar winners too, besides Julia who is talent free.

    HOW ON EARTH is Renee on this list??? Blech! I have no idea how she made it in Hollywood-----sooooooo not worth any of that $! I don't think Cameron Diaz is talented either..don't understand her on the list..but Renee def makes the least sense of all!

    I also agree about Jodie Foster..how is she on this list?

    Tell me how their jobs make more money than people who actually do IMPORTANT work...doctors, teachers, nurses, etccccccccc! Seems pretty backward to me!!!

    When Julia makes big budget movies she gets between 20 and 25 million a movie. Julia is the ONLY one on this list who has ACTUALLY gotten 25 million for one movie. I don't understand this list.
