Julia Roberts Paid $500,000 A Minute For “Valentine’s Day” Role

America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts is only in the movie Valentine’s Day for about six minutes, but she still managed to get a $3 million pay day.

New Line Cinema paid Roberts $3 million up front against 3 percent of the gross for what is little more than an extended cameo. That comes out to an astonishing $8,333 per second of screen time, or roughly $500,000 a minute. Verbally, it’s a minimum of $11,952 per spoken word.

I doubt anyone else in the giant ensemble cast was paid so much. I love JR as much as the next Southern girl..but is she really the big draw for this flick? Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Bradly Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Taylor2, Jamie Foxx…yeah ..I guess she is.
