    Producers, beware. Eddie Murphy and Drew Barrymore give the least bang for their buck.

    Forbes released its list of the most overpaid stars Thursday, and deemed the Shrek and Charlie's Angels stars as the most egregiously overcompensated. The magazine examined total income of the stars' most recent three movies to determine their ranking.

    Barrymore was last seen in Going the Distance, Whip It and He's Just Not That Into You, all of which returned 40 cents for every dollar she was paid. Murphy, who most recently appeared in Shrek Forever After (as the voice of Donkey) and in Imagine That, will open Tower Heist opposite Ben Stiller on Friday. Murphy returns some $2.70 for every dollar he's paid.

      Wait. How is that a bad thing? A $2.70 return on a dollar invested? I'd invest in that!

      I cant stand it when these Commie-wood douchebags are on TV begging ME to give my money to Africa.

      Give away half of your fortunes first, then we will talk.

      Who wants to see a Black ractist like Eddie "Step & Fetchit" Murphy. The man can be entertaining if his mouth wasn't so dirty and mind so racist against Whites.

      Yes, yes. I love The Interracial Romance! It is so nice. My boyfriend and I both think so. He is a sexy black man, LOL. I know him via šeekǐnterracial–č0/Μ. A nice place for black white singles, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love ;)
      nts for every dollar she was paid. Murphy,
