The Hours Oscar winner Nicole Kidman is Hollywood’s leading lady when it comes to her salary, according to trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Star Salary Top 10. The Cold Mountain actress has claimed the top spot on the new list thanks mainly to the paycheck she’ll receive for next year’s sci-fi blockbuster The Invasion. Six of the top 10 women on the list are Oscar winners, with only Charlie’s Angels stars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst and Jennifer Aniston yet to pick up an Academy Award.

Hollywood, CA (AHN) – Kirsten Dunst says the glittering Hollywood lifestyle does not make her happy.
Instead, the “Marie Antoinette” actress enjoys the simple pleasures in life and feels her best after spending a night in watching movies.
The stylish blonde, who is rumored to be dating her “Elizabethtown” co-star Orlando Bloom, says that she does not indulge in the extravagancies of Tinsel Town like other young starlets.
Dunst says, “I live my life as a normal 24-year-old. I hang out with friends, we watch movies, play charades and go swimming. I like being at home and doing simple things like cooking. That’s what makes me really happy.”
But despite enjoying a multimillion dollar film career the actress, who began working in the entertainment industry at age three in commercials and had her breakthrough role at 11 in “Interview With The Vampire”, says that she will not put any of her own children into The Business.
Dunst, who was once in a serious relationship with fellow Hollywood hottie Jake Gyllenhaal, believes juggling work and a regular life is difficult at a young age.
The “Spiderman” star says, “Being young in the industry is so hard. I would never put my kids into acting.”
