Okay, 1. you're on IMfrickenDB, a place to find out about nearly ANY ACTOR in 5 seconds. But anyway, she played Jessia, the "you've never double clicked your mouse?" girl (American Pie 1 reference).

For someone claiming to be an internet expert, you missed a great joke.

IMO that's not even the point, I mean she was LITERALLY (I timed it) in there for 50 seconds. It was good to see her in the movie and all, but I just found it crazy that someone's going to pay her 500k for a days (heck, probably half a day)work.

What I find crazier is that she made twice as much as Tara Reid, and Tara Reid was in a LOT more of the movie.

And she probably shot it all into her veins the next day.

Laugh it up, fuzzball.

To be fair, Tara comes for free.

Obviously, they wanted her for the movie, so they met her fee. What's so crazy? It's Hollywood. I think a lot of the so-called "A-Listers" are overpaid. That goes double for professional athletes. That girl did one day of work and hustled them out of half a million dollars (if it's true). I say, good for her. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it!

Gee cd, you sound a little homophobic. feeling threatened?

Is that actually true or a rumor? I just can't imagine a production (even the American Pie franchise) dishing out 500k for one day's work from a supporting actor. But producers in Hollywood have made dumber choices before I guess... I'm a fan of hers and all but if that's true, what a waste of money! SMH

Why not? I mean, she was probably doing other things?
There's always the business thinking too: "you want my face there? Well, pay up, I'm sure you are going to make millions"

We live in a world that has shelved out millions of dollars on such "gems" as Superhero Movie, Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans .... That says it all I think ...

What amazes me is she's hardly a "name" actress. They must have wanted her pretty badly. She just doesn't have the bankable industry status to rate that kind of pay otherwise.

And OMG! did you see her in "All About Evil"? What a no-talent joke! I just don't get it.

You may walk on the beach, you may swim in the ocean... under SWAT team surveillance, of course.

@serval26, I'm not 100% sure about it, but it was on her IMDB bio page. But who knows really.

reply

[–] pinkfreak60 12 years ago

Have you never seen But I'm a Cheerleader or Slums of Beverly Hills? She's really not a bad actress. She has talent especially compared to a lot of other actresses that I've seen.

I forgot all about her character until they showed her, so I am also baffled as to why she would be paid so much. For me, it would not have made a difference if she appeared or not.

reply

[–] Dr_Clitterhaus 12 years ago

She was in a couple of deleted scenes too...uhm... but really not good value for money if it's true she got that much $ for an afternoons filming. Her character was one of the most forgettable of the franchise. I think most people had already figured out she was a raging lesbian. Complete waste of money.
I hope they paid the Sherminator much less to balance the books.

The one deleted scene with her and Finch is a fun one. It doesn't make that much sense this late in the franchise, but (some of it) would fit in great in the first movie.
She had a small part in the first one, but I liked her character and always wanted to see more of her. She would have made a much better "mentor" to both the guys and the girls rather than the stupid Affleck-character.

Bullsh)t

She was probably paid closer to $5k. I don't know where you heard that but it's not true. In fact, you have to be an idiot to believe it.

What is interesting too is that, according to IMDb, Chris Klein was only paid $600,000 for his role, which he was in most of the movie.
