Johnny Depp to Pocket $56 Million for Pirates 4
Here’s my verdict on Hollywood actors making huge and outrageous salaries (because I know you’re all dying to hear it): more power to them. They should get what they can get. Just as with athletes in the sports world. Why should we begrudge them earning obscene amounts of money for what is essentially 3 or 4 months of work? Sure, I’d like to see them do more than just pretend in front of a camera for their money, like clean out my basement, or pull those damn weeds from my backyard. But ev
