I was in the grocery store line and saw a copy of Vanity Fair.

The lead story is how Michelle Williams is fighting for equal pay for female stars.

I honestly have no idea who she is.

Tom Cruise gets paid Tom Cruise money because his name sells tickets.

Michelle Williams gets paid Michelle Williams money, because that is what her name brings to the table.

She could be the greatest actress, ever, but Melissa McCarthy will still make more than her.

Because, like Tom Cruise, McCarthy sells tickets.

So Hanoi Jane is going to do her next gig for minimum wage so other starving actresses can get a good paying gig? Doesn’t she already have enough pie?

Per #18, extras get $145/day. That's a 4.9% annual increase over 30 years, meaning pay for extras has more than outpaced the 2.5% annual inflation rate over that similar period. Thieves!
