No sexism in Forks!

Vanity Fair Magazine recently put out a list of the top 40 money-earners of 2009. Our beloved Twilight Stars, Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart made the list at #35 and #37. Great for them, they deserve it!  They are way behind the Harry Potter stars who earned $15 to $20 million per movie. Vanity Fair makes a point of saying that no females show up on the list of top Hollywood earners until Harry Potter’s Emma Watson at #14. It is to Summit Film’s credit then that both Rob and Kristen earned the same salary for starring in the Twilight Saga! For the full list and info on how these numbers were compiled, go to Vanity Fair.

I’ve got news for Summitt. I wouldn’t try and swing that paltry sum for a fourth movie on those three Twilight stars.

I hope that all three Kristen, Taylor and Rob get offered and receive a higher salaries for “Breaking Dawn”.
