Child star salaries and the top Highest paid kid actors

Ever wanted to know the top highest paid kid actors so you can put your kid out the door to get one of those buko-bucks kid actor salaries? Here are a few top Highest paid child actors that made these kids millionaires before they were 21:

Child Star Salaries

  • Not surprisingly, the Harry Potter actors are some of the Highest paid child stars. Through the success of the movies, books, and huge following, Daniel Radcliff rose up to 25 million per movie. When he first started making the films however, he was only paid $250K for the film.
  • Twilight star Kristen Stewart brought in 2 million for the first of the 3 part movie series, and a cool 12 million for the next movie. We call that a pay raise!
  • Abigal Breslin was able to demand more money as her roles got better, and now brings in 2 million for her roles in movies.
  • Dakota Fanning, most recently in Twilight that I can remember, is bringing in 4 million for her roles.She has really grown up to a beautiful woman. Is she a woman now? I dont think 15 is a woman. You know what i mean.
  • KeKe Palmar of Nick Jr fame makes 20K an episode. I guess you dont get that at McDonalds!
  • Miranda Cosgrove earns more than almost any kid on tv with a $180K salary per episode
  • Selena Gomez has something she can look forward to if she falls into Mirandas footsteps but right now can settle for a nice 25K per episode
  • Sprouse Twins make $40K for their roles on the Disney Channel
  • Miley Cyrus made only $15K for her stint as Hannah Montana…but we have a feeling it all worked out just fine
  • Angus T. Jones makes $250K for his role on Two and a Half Men
  • Gary Coleman earned $70K per episode

Wanna know what their adult counter parts make for their TV Star Salaries?

Suri Cruise; Is 5 years old too old?

Ill be the first to admit that Charlotte has a special blankie. A lovey if you will. She would probably have a mental breakdown if it went MIA and I’m totally cool with her snuggling with it at home or even in the car on trips.

She was also a pacifier child.

She had one till she was 3, and even then it was probably on the verge of being way late to toss it. We had actually weaned her off of it prior and then we had a house fire and it was a huge set back, so we let her have it back to soothe  her at night. She was 3 when Chris said no more. I probably would have let her have it till she was married.

Yet still….this……this is interesting.

Suri CruiseSuri Cruise with Pacifier

Suri Cruise is 5 next month.

Maybe the rule should be when you are old enough to wear high heels, trenchcoats, and carry a $1000 purse, you have to toss the binkie.

Just sayin.

KY Intimacy..Day 2. #fail

Day two was supposed to be a super easy assignment.

Maybe if your like an adult, which sometimes we are not.

The day exercise was basically work on transferable desire and how often your partner and you interact in positive ways. You were supposed to ask yourself basically how often do you kiss, hug, eat together, cook together, say i love you, compliment each other and a slew of other ways to engage each other outside the bedroom.

I think we totally scored mega high on that. We are pretty good at all those things. I felt confident for the day.

For the evening though they wanted you to turn off the tv, turn on a candle, lay in each others arms….and stare at each other. The idea was that it would bring you closer and maybe lead to closer, intimate sex if you focused.

That didn’t exactly happen for us.

Here is why….

[flashvideo filename="videos/ky_day2.flv" width="448" height="361" /]

Good Grief. Already dropouts.

Where Are They Now? Disney Stars

Where Are They Now? Disney Stars!

We all know about Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera, but many got their big acting break on Disney, whom is well known for making the average teenager a break out star. We just don’t want our child star to become the one with 6 divorces and shaving their head on public TV in a mental breakdown, am I right?

Zac Efron

Disney Star from High School Musical

Hands down my favorite recent Disney Star is Zac Efron. While his shaved head isn’t exactly doing it for me, he is gorgeous all 7 days of the week. Newly single Zac has also been recently spotted back with his High School musical sweetheart, Vanessa Hudgens (also a Disney Star) proving that indeed absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Lindsey Lohan

Disney Star from The Parent Trap

Too bad, so sad Miss Lohan has spent more time in rehab than in movies on stripper poles recently. Struggling into her adult years, former Disney darling Lindsey Lohan has recently moved next door to her ex-girlfriend, Samantha, Ronson, much to her surprise. Rejected from Donalds Trumps Celebrity Apprentice, it might be time for Lindsey to pack up her twin and find a new career.

Britany Spears

Disney Star from The New Mickey Mouse Club

Britney has rarely strayed from the spotlight. From her days as a Mickey Mouse Club contender to her “Oops I did it Again”, Britney has maintained a public image to shame many mothers. Through all the craziness however, she has managed to put out some solid CDs and keeps reinventing herself. The only thing I seriously worry about is her wierd relationship with Mel Gibson.

Justin Timberlake

Disney Star from The New Mickey Mouse Club

Long time coveted by teenage girls, Justin surprised us all when he cut his hair off and stepped away from the highly successful boy band N’Sync. Still going strong, Justin has appeared on SNL, made many a movie (most recently The Social Network) and has a crooner voice that tops them all. He isn’t aging badly either…

Christina Aguilera

Disney Star from The New Mickey Mouse Club

Sexy and sultry, Christina went from X-tina faster than Lindsey Lohan went to rehab. While I miss her “Fighter” days, she has grown into a woman, a mom, and is going through a divorce, must to the surprise of her fans.  You can catch Christina in a movie with Cher appropriately called Burlesque.

Raven Symone

Disney Star from “Thats so Raven!”

Also on the Young Moguls list earning nearly 50 million dollars, “That’s So Raven!” star has started the year out a slimmer shadow of her former self. You can expect to see her in The Great State of Georgia on ABC soon.

Lisa Whelchel

Disney Star from The  Mickey Mouse Club

You take the good, you take the bad…you have the facts of life, the Facts of Life! Lisa starred in the Mickey Mouse club (which started up in 1955) and is the author of a book called The Busy Grandmas Guide to Prayer. But what I find interesting as a parent is that she is a fan of the controversial parenting technique “Hot Saucing”. Look it up.

Annette Funicello

Disney Star from The  Mickey Mouse Club

Along with Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello was a heartbreak away as a beach blanket babe in the 1960′s. You may also remember that perfect cupid face as a Mickey Mouse club member. You can find Miss Funicello working on her Annette Funicello Collectible Bear company now a days.

Demi Lovato

Disney Star from Camp Rock

Count Demi as another one of those drug rehab girls that Disney produces in its stars. Although doing really well in Grays Anatomy, way back when you could have seen her on Barney. I hope her rehab stint goes better than Lindseys.

Selena Gomez

Disney Star from The Wizards of Waverly Place

Fresh faced Selena from The Wizards of Waverly Place not only has a adorable clothing line, but is also expected to appear in a new movie this year called Monte Carlo. Recently seen snuggling up to Justin Bieber, she is sure to have big fat Red-Xs on her face in every pre-teen wall in the country.

Shia LaBeouf

Disney Star from Holes

A son of carnival clowns, Shia was in the Disney Movie Holes. Since then he has started in Indiana Jones, Transformers, and Wall Street. He is a man of many talents and we expect to see more big blockbuster films with him soon.

Ke$ha and Baby-G watches Team up

As you can see here, Im a big fan of Ke$ha, although not always a big fan of her style. From wearing garbage bags and statements of Lady Gaga-eseque one piece suits, maybe its my age (or my sense of classic style) that prevents me from stepping out of the house that way.

That being said, Ke$ha has teamed up with Casio to represent the Baby-G watches in her new Video “We R Who We R”, currently one of my favorite “turn-it-up-when-no-one-is-looking” tunes.

Recently I had a chance as a courtesy from Casio to take a glimpse of the same style watch that Ke$ha is rocking her video.

Style

I personally dont own a watch and this is the first watch I have put on literally in years and years. I absolutely adored it. For only $130, it’s a solid piece, trendy, and comes in a variety fo statement setting colors.

Sustainability

The watch itself is solid. Its shock resistant, made of very tough material, and wouldnt be one of those pansy watches that got pulled off from a 6 year old and broke. In fact, I let charlotte wear the watch around with no trouble on her own.

DOVER, NJ, NOVEMBER XX, 2010 – Casio America, Inc. is proud to announce that its Baby-G BG-1006SA-1watch is front and center in Ke$ha’s newest music video “We R Who We R.” As the brand ambassador for Casio’s Baby-G line, Ke$ha never shies away from setting trends. Ke$ha is Baby-G’s first female artist brand ambassador to design her own signature Baby-G watches, which will hit stores in Summer 2011. Other artists sporting Casio timepieces in their videos include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Fergie, Jordin Sparks, and Kristinia DeBarge.

Ke$ha amps up the glamour in the music video for “We R Who We R,” by rocking Casio’s BG-1006SA-1 timepiece. “We R Who We R”, is the first single off Cannibal (RCA Records / Kemosabe Entertainment), the highly anticipated companion to her platinum selling debut album Animal, which was released on November 22nd. Consisting of nearly an album’s worth of new songs, it is available for sale separately, as well as bundled with Animal in a special deluxe repackage called Animal + Cannibal. “We R Who We R” has already hit #1 on Billboard’s Top 100 and set a brisk sales pace, moving 280,000 downloads within its first week at retail.

“We are excited to have Ke$ha as our brand ambassador sporting Baby-G through her music video,” said Shigenori Itoh, vice president of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “As a leading force in the fashion and entertainment world, Ke$ha is the perfect blend of street, sport, glamour and edge which Baby-G proudly symbolizes.”

Casio’s BG-1006SA-1 is a fashion-forward timepiece that represents fun, fearlessness and vibrancy. The timepiece has various features, including: four daily alarms, one snooze alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, 12/ 24 hour format and world time in 29 time zones and 48 cities. Constructed with a “protector” design, the BG-1006SA-1sports a combination wire and resin guard that protects the glass and case from whatever life throws its way. The timepiece is available in black, green, pink, orange and silver at an MSRP of $79.

Ke$ha has sold over 2 million copies of her debut album worldwide along with over 17 million tracks and ringtones. “We R Who We R” continues Ke$ha’s impressive run, dominating the Pop charts with ridiculously catchy hit songs like “TiK ToK,” Blah Blah Blah” and “Your Love Is My Drug.”

The Baby-G brand was developed as the women’s counterpart to the brand’s highly-successful G-Shock brand. The watches are a fun way to add a pop of color and expression to any outfit.

Best Western films: List of the Best

I personally never watch Western Films, but they are commonly referred to as some of the best films out there. No other genre is more “American” or more related to than the roots of a cowboy, a gun, and a one horsed town. Classically, cowboys and Indians are often played forward by little kids and are rooted in the most basic of history.

There have been lists and lists of the best western movies and films out there and we have compiled top lists of other media sources claiming the ones you should be investing your popcorn in..

List of Best Western films

Stagecoach

The plot: Passengers take a cross-country trek during an Apache uprising. There’s some terrific action, but the real thrill is in the interplay of the characters. Who directed it?

My Darling Clementine’

The plot: A chronicle of the friendship of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral.

‘Shane’

The plot: When local farmers are persecuted by a ruthless cattle baron, a former gunfighter must once again strap on his weapons.

‘The Searchers’

The plot: A racist Civil War veteran mounts a years-long search to find the tribe who killed his brother’s family and kidnapped a young girl. This was director John Ford’s letter of apology to American Indians.

The Wild Bunch’

The plot: Running out of lawless frontier, a bank-robbing gang flees to Mexico and gets involved in the 1917 revolution on behalf of a despicable general with the federales.
The gang:

McCabe & Mrs. Miller’

The plot: A bumbling gambler decides to build a sporting house in a Northwest mining town. With a professional madam, he creates such a going enterprise that soon thugs representing big business show up to take over.

Dances With Wolves’

The plot: In the last days of the Civil War, a Union officer is sent to a remote post on the prairie and is adopted by a band of Lakota Indians.
The Indians:

‘Unforgiven’

The plot: An apparently irredeemable bad man comes out of retirement to collect a reward offered by a maimed prostitute for the murder of her attackers.

‘Open Range’

The plot: Cattle drivers run into trouble when they try to graze on ground claimed (illegally) by a powerful landowner.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’

The plot: This morally vexing yarn depicts Jesse James as an increasingly paranoid killer who’s a danger to everyone.
